The following resolution was

adopted:
Resolred. That the land within two
miles Of Newberry Court House be as
sessed at 50 per acre and that the land
within one mile of Prosperity be as
seSsed at 81 per acre, and that the chair
man of the Township Board Of Asses
sos inform the Auditor who are the
owners Of said lands.
The Board decided to make no
change in the returns of personal prop
erty. The valuation Of personal prop
erty therefore stands just as left 10y the
Township Boards of Assessors.
The valuation of real estate i'll tie
towns of Newberry and Prosperity is
unchanged and stands just as given in
by the owners.
It seems to us that the Board has put
very low valuation on the real estate
in the various townships-a great deal
lower than any land could he pur-
chased in Newberry County.
At the rate per acre placed upon the
land in the county the assessment of
the real estate in the towns of Pros
perity and Newberry will be nearly or
quite as much as the valuation of all
the other land in the county. We will
have more to say of this again.

Lewiedale the early part of last week.
Mrs. Lizzie Cromer, of Walton, Wis
tied in this community last week.
Capt. J. G. Perry was in this neigh
borhood last week looking after the
interest of the public highways.
Cuttings seem to be coming in fash
ion again. We hear of them in this
community frequently.
Early gardening has been seriously
injured. Not every time the early
bird catches the worm.
Mr.. J. E. Long, of Ridge Road, visited
relatives in this community last
week.
Section master Mr.. Mclean is build
ing some good road near the academy.
Mr.. Mclean is said to be one amongst
the best section masters on the Colum-
bia and Greenville line.
The Mt. Pilgrim Farmers Alliance
is in good working condition and
continues to grow. A good many of
our farmers contemplate visiting Po-
maria in order to purchase their goods
a alliance prices. Our farmers mean
strictly business and they are going to
purchase their goods at the lowest fig
ures.
The past two weeks has reminded
us that the winter is not yet over
neither spring weather come to stay.
Since our last communication an
abundance of rain and snow has been
experienced in this community. The
snow of last Friday evening and night
has certainly destroyed the insects
that have been injuring the grain.
Grain in this community has better
appearance and seems to be growing
off nicely. The winter being 80 dry
has injured the grain worse than the
insects, however, natare has its own
ways and Gods ways are always
right. SIGMA.

REGULAR TRAINS on THE G., y. a. L.
RAILROAD.
columbia Record, Sth.]
Hearing last night from a reliable
source that the Railroad Commission
ers would go up the road to-day, or, if
the weather was bad, on Monday or
Tuesday, for the purpose of making
the inspect on, a Record representa-
tive called on Capt. w. q. Childs, presi-
dent of the road, this morning, seeking
official information.
President Chi!ds stated that the in
spection would not be made to day,
but that the Railroad Commissioners
would be taken over the road as far as
Irmo, the first station, on locomotive
Monday or Tuesday morning, and
would make the inspection to that
point.
AS to the regular trains, he said that
freight trains running a regular sched-
ule would be put on Thursday, and
that he expected them to do a good
business. Mr.. Donald Mcqueen, of
the South Carolina Railway, will act
as freight agent, and parties desiring
freight to be hauled over the road, will
make application to him.
The operation of the road will be for
the twelve miles between this city and
Irmo for the present, but as fast as the
rails are laid and the road accepted by
the Commissioners, the trains will be
sent on.
The President also stated that the
road was now complete up to a dis
tance Of fifteen miles from this city,
and would have been much further,
but for the failure of one of the con-
tractors to complete a high embank-
ment at that point. The work is nee
essarily delayed on this account, but
will be resumed in very few days.
