TAX REDUCTION.

The Republican majority in Con
gress seems earnestly at work to re-
duce taxes, and if you will watch them
you will be impressed with the fact
that the burdens are only to be lifted
from the shoulders Of the rich, the
strong, those most able to bear them.
Brewers, patent medicine men and
wall street magnates generally are to
be relieved, while those Of us who wear
clothes, hats and shoes and use wire
fencing and agricultural implements
must still pay onerous tribute to mod
ern Caesars.

FAIRFAX OR PRINCE EDWARD +!

The Richmond Times Of November
1lth, commenting on the subject Of
"Publicity,n quotes the Cape Charlie.
Light as saying. "At last the Board Of
Supervisors in one county have COM
piled with the law and published an
itemized statement of their county ex-
penses, and Fairfax county, as far as
the Light knows, is the only one in
which it has been done" Whereupon
the Fairfax Herold says: Fairfax can
at all times set a good example, and
the other counties of the State could
not do better than accept Fairfax-the
county OF George Westinghouse a
model
From the above it appears that Fair
fax has had an itemized statement of
her expenditures published this year
for the first time. If our inference is
correct, then Prince Edward is a long
way ahead Of her on that line. Ever
since the Democrats of Prince Ed.
ward got in power, away back yOnder
IN 1890, an itemlzed account of the re-
ceipts and expenditures has been made
by our county treasurer in July of
each year, and published in the Farm
vile HERALD, taking up from one and
half to two columns in our paper
and the printing is paid for by the
Board. Moreover, the HERALD prints
an account Of the transactions of the
Supervisors after each meeting, and we
are paid, under contract, out of the
county funds for this work also.
All warrants drawn by our Super
visors, every jury ticket issued by our
county court, and every school war
rant are paid i'm cash as soon as pre-
sented to our treasurer. In the last
few years we have built a new modern
fre-proof clerks Office, a new Jail with
steel cells, constructed steel bridges
over the Appomattox and built good |
wooden bridges over the smaller |
streams. We have kept the public |
roads well worked and have nearly
a McAdam road from Farm |
vile to Hampden-Sidney, a distance
of seven miles at a cost to the county
of about $4,000. We owe only small
bonded debt of six thousand dollars
which will be paid as soon as it is due.
Our taxes are only 4Oc on 500 valua-
Ton for county purposes, zoe for schools
and Zoe for roads. Our treasurer had
in his hands to the credit Of the county
at his last settlement in July, 1900, a
balance Of 1926 90. How is this for
small county Of only 800 square miles
md fifteen thousand and forty-fve in
labitants, in Southside Virginia?

Rich Drinking Water.

IFrom the Arkansas City Traveller
For the past few days the citizens who
are so very unfortunate as to be COM
PEELED to use the city water for drinking
purposes, have been getting their share
of mud. The springs have demonstrated
the fact that they are unable to supply
the city with enough water and have
gone dry. The canal, which is convent
emily near the pump-house, has been
tapped and now the citizens are drinking
a mixture of very poor water, mixed with
a quantity of mud. The water is bad,
but it is drinkab BILE at this time of the
year, when anything that is wet is
welcome change from the dust which ac-
cumulates in ones mouth.
In color, the water we now drink re-
sembles a muckle dunn, over which a
thin coat of whitewash has been slap
ped. To the taste it is bad and drinking
it is like taking medicine. Everyone who
raises a glass of the mixture to their lips
abSent-mindedly takes a look to see if
any Wigglers, tad poles or frog moss has
Strayed therein If none of these are
found the thirsty person gulpS it down
and feels relieved to think it is over. The
days of the pioneers who have often told
US of drinking from buffalo tracks are
brought to mind. This trouble will pro-
badly be remedied as soon as the city
has the settling basin completed.

CoRBErT THE DUDE.
Pugilist Has Special Ladies' Day.
and is Very Polite

New York, Aug. 20.-Un1ike most of
the other prize fighters James J. Corbett
is willing and even anxious that crowds
come to his training quarters every day
for the purpose of watching him work,
and he does not charge them anything,
either. For this he has earned the repu-
tation of being most accommodating
fighter. He is at Bath beach ana every
day his quarters are filled with Onlook-
ers, consisting for the most part of WO-
men and children.
His small gymnasium on the pier at
Avoca villa was today filed with MEM
bers of the fair sex, and to say that
they were pleased far from expresses the
impression he made on them He gave
a regular show and all that was missing
when he began his work was a couple
of violins and a few other musical in
struments that go to make up an or

He was applauded literally when he
appeared, and, smiling as only Jim can,
he said: Thank you, ladies'" He was
well atuired for the occasion and his gar
mentS caused, perhaps a greater hutter
than he did himself He wore a pink
shirt that was sleeveless and stockings
that were the color of the sky, only a tri-
11e darker.
Corbett began operations by hitting
the punching bag with such force that
the cord which held it was almost bro
ken There were little feminine shriekS
at this burst of savagery, when Jim turn
ed to his admirers and said: Don't get
frightened, ladies; it was only one of the
kind of jolts-I mean blows, I beg par
don-that I am going to carry to the
anatomy of my worthy adversary"

For long time the agile pugiIist hop
ped about the stage feinting at an i'm
aginar.y foe, and when he began to soak
the punching bag everybody became
very much interested. Then he wrestled
for ten minutes with Pardelle, winning d
fall, when he advanced to the edge of the
platform and said: Ladies, that is all
for this afternoon
Many of the young women stopped to
thank Corbett and he did not seem to
be bit bored. Hereafter at Bath Beach
he will be known as the 'pugilistic dude i"
He has left orders with the hotel clerk
that all flowers consigned to him be sent
