ROAD WORKING.
Some New Thoughts on an Ola
Subject.

MI. EDITOR: Born of necessity
there is bound to be change IN
the road working system. Our
roads, generally speaking, are a
shame to the county. More espe-
cially cen this shame be applied
to the western and southwestern
portion of Edgefeld. The plan l
propose, although not altogether
materialized. is this: Let a law be
passed, for Edgefeld county at
least, making it imperative upon
each and every land holder to work
or have worked all roads, both pub
lie and settlement roads, running
through said land-holder's prem
ises.
Should a road be a line, then let
those who own the land Oh each
side of the road work the road
not forcing any one to work any
specified time, but simply require
roads to be keptin good condition
Let d fine be imposed on any one
who refuses or fails to keep thell
roads in good condition.
Let the county chain gang keep
all bridges in good repair and
macadam the worst places II
the roads that are the most travel
ed.

Your notice of my report of col
Getting taxes for Edgefeld county
lor 1866 fiscal year, does not give
all credit to whom credit belongs.
Under our law for the charging and
and collecting of taxes, the audi
tor, who does his duty, is clearly
entitled to most credit because he
alone is charged with the duty of
making up tie books from which
the treasurer collects. This COL
lection evidently shows that the
auditor, by cooperation no doubt
with tne treasurer and sheriff,
eliminated nearly or quite all
errors, double entries or non est
entries from the tax duplicate for
this particular year, and whatever
of unpaid taxes went into execu-
ton, the sheriff and his deputies
must have worked earnestly to
collect same within time prescribed
by law. I am sure the treasurer
did his duty, and well, but be can
not be entitled to any more credit,
perhaps as not as much praise as
auditor or sheriff. All deserve
praise, and should be proud OF
their record.

A MILLION DOLLAR suit.
More Litigation Over the Owner
ship to the Famous Prop
erty, Bakers Ranch.
Decision Asked as TO the Meaning of
the Act of Congress of 1866-An
Important Question Raised.

Suit has been lied in the Superior Court
by Fairfax II. Wheelan, administrator of
the estate of John II. Baker, against the
heirs of John BrickeIl to quiet the title to
tho property known as Bakers ranch,
worth fully 81 600, 900.
The filing of the suit by Attorney H. T.
Shaw revves interest in most remark
able case. The matter has been in the
courts in ono way or another for about
twenty years Mr.. Baker having died in
1863 since which time his estate has been
in probate.
John H. Baker, a pioneer settler, was
the owner OF many acres of land in the
vicinity of what is now known as Baker s
Beach. When he died in 1868 Mrs. Baker
secured a title to the 100 acres now in
litigation in her own name, although it
was held by the heirs that the title should
have been vested in all of them. Subse-
qCently Mrs. Baker mortgaged the prop
erty to John Brickell and on foreclosure
proceedings he secured possession of the
land.
The heirs of Mr. Baker contested the
matter, claiming that Mrs. Baker lacked
power 10 mortgage the properly in that
her title to the land was defective. The
matter was taken TO the United States
supreme court py the helrS on writ OF
error. The writ was dismissed, the court
holding that there being two grounds
upon which the State court might have
decided The case. one of which did not in
volve a Federal question, the Supreme
Court would assume that the State court
based Its decision on that ground and no
other.
The purpose of the present suit is to
eliminate everything except the Federal
question, in order TO obtain ruling of the
highest appellate court on that question.
This refers to the act of Congress of 1866,
which, it is alleged, plainly cut off the
plaintiff heirs in their rights 10 the prop.
erty in disnute. The case will, of course
go to the United States Supreme Court in
any event. and the court will be aske tc
modify the harshness of the statute OF
1855. which on its face qulets the title tc
the lands in question in favor of all par
ties then in possession under any pretex
or claim whatsoever.

MORE TROUBLE FOR WELBURN
The Ex-Co1iector, Loupe and DIlla rd
Before the Grand jury

The fact that ex-Internal Revenue Col
lector Osca Nj. Welburn and Revenue
Agent Thrasher had been subpenaed to
appear before the United States Grand
Jury to-day caused consid erable comment
about the Appraisers building yesterd ay
and gave rise TO another report that the
Grand Jury was about to investigate the
official acts of Messenger billiard and ex-
Chief Deputy Louis Loupe.
Deputy United States Attorney Bert
Schlesinger said that the subpoena had not
come out of the Attorneys Office ana that
he had not been made acquainted with
the intention of The Grand Jury.
1t is believed that the Grand Jury are
about TO proceed on their own motion to
inquire into matters brought out in the
testimony of Loupe and billiard, and if
they find that forgery, perjury or any
other crime has been committed they will
indict the guilty parties.
As stated tie Grand Jury seems to be
looking into the matter or its own ac-
count, but there is another force at work.
Treasury Agent Thrasher will in all prob
abili y present some facts before the jury
for its consideration, which Will be likely
to throw the whole case of the ex- Collector
and his two confide ntial subordinates

TURNED ON THE GAS.
Michael Ryan, u Weil-to-Do Laborer,
Asphyxiated Through His Own
Careies

Careiessnesss
Michael Ryan, laborer and single man
"a years old. was found oead in bed Mon
day morning in bis room 4409 Twentieth
street. He was living with Mr.. and Mrs.
William Crowley, his brother-in.law and
sister.
His sister knocked at his room door at
Z o'clock to waken him, and receiving no
answer, informed her husband. Perceiv-
ing strong odor of gas, Mr.. Crowley
forced an entrance and found that his
brother-in-law was dead. The stopcock
on ths gas fixtures was partly turned on
and the room was full of the suffocating
vapor.
Deputy Coroner Hallett found no indi-
cations of suicide. No chinks in the win
dows and doors were stuffed to exclude
air as is usually found to be the case IN
suicides by similar means. and the de-
ceased left no writing or word of farewell
which would have been naturally the case
had he taken his own life. He owned
some real estate and was com parativeIy
well TO do for one in his station in life.
All these circumstances justify the belief
that death was accidental, and that the
deceased, in turning off the gas before re-
tiring, carelessly turned the stopcock
partly on again.
