Sir William II. Preece, formerly head
of the British bureau of telegraphs in
the British postoffice department, in an
address before the Society Of Arts in
London recently advocated the govern
ment control of the telephone business
as wei as that of the mail and tele-
graph. Another interesting feature Of
his address is the statement that in the
matter of electric lighting the poten-
TALLY of cheapness in our large munci-
palities was hey md the dreams of the
economist" He cites the instance of
Bradford, England, where electric light
is supplied by the municipality at about
2 10 cents per unit. which is equivalent
TO gas at IA 1-3 cents a thousand feet,
and says there is no reason why the
cost should not be reduced to one-half a
cent per unit. People in American cit
les getting electric light at these figures
would think the millennium was close
at hand.

Seymour Bell, the British CONNER
cial agent in the United States. told the
London chamber of commerce recently
that 1t was necessary for British man
ufacturers to adopt American methods
If they would successfully compete
with Americans. The Britishers have
had this dinned into their ears so many
times that 1t would seem that they
ought by this time to have learned the
lesson and profted by It However,
we can afford to let them 30 their own
way.

Resolved, That the County Supervisor
OF Assessment may use the Northeast
corner room on the first floor OF the
county office building for an office and
that 1t Is the opinion Of this board that
he should make proper provision for re-
ceiving all letters addressed TO him in his
official capacity at the Village of Ellis
worth and that he shall give notice of
what days he will be present at such
office for the transaction of business
pertaining TO his office.
And the County Agent is directed to
make arrangements if practicable at d
reasonable expense with the telephone
companies in this county such, that any
assessor or member of a board Of re-
view may communicate with the said
supervisor in relation to matters pertain
ing to their official duties, without cost to
them.

Heaiey on Stevenson.

IT is not surprising that Mr.. W. r.
Henleys criticism and review of the
biography of the late Robert Louis
Stevenson by his cousin, Mr.. Graham
Balfour, should have aroused great ex-
element and furious controversy in
literary circles In London. which has
extended TO this country. Mr.. Henley
was on the closest terms of intimacy
with Stevenson for several years and
perhaps knew the characteristics Of
the author better than any other man.
He says that for him there were two
Steyensons. the one who went to
America in 1887 and the one who never
came back. The one who went to
America. it is TO be inferred, is the one
whom he describes as ''riotous, in
trepid and scornful" The other Ste.
venson was necessarily and passion
ately interested in Stevenson"
While the frequently fulsome and
sometimes nauseating adulation which
is quite commonly bestowed upon lit
erary heroes may measurably apply to
the admirers of the late Robert Louis
Stevenson. Mr.. Henleys criticisms
apon the private life and personal
characteristics of his former friend
and companion are uncalled for and
are at times positively brutal. 1t was
unnecessary to characterize him as a
'seraph In chocolate" or ''the barley
sugar effigy of real man." Stevenson
was human, and he may or may not
have had been an egotist, but that has
little to do with the merits or dement's
of his work. Had Mr.. Henley been
content TO estimate Stevenson's work
from the viewpoint of a close associa.
ton with less apparent animus and
brutality his review of Mr.. Balfour'
book might have served a better pur.
pose than the stirring up of the furious
controversy that has followed IL. How.
ever, ii must be admitted that it was
a courageous act on the part of Mr.
Henley to tempt the inevitable on
slaught of hero worshipers. For this
the thoughtful reader, who has no part
in the prevailing dedication of literary
saints, may be inclined to condone the
positive unjustness of much of his crit
icism of the dead authors personality
and work.

The special committee to whom was re-
ferred the resolution relative to county
road tax reported as follows:
Your committee to whom was referred
the resolution offered by Supervisor
Brown respectfully state, that they have
had the matter under consideration and
report as follows:
First, that the idea of having the coun-
ty aid to some extent in the repairing of
principal highways in the county is
meritorious and deserves consideration
whenever the situation warrants it's being
DONE
Second that, however, they would call
attention to the fact that the distribu-
Number Two can be very much improved
and that If at any future time the mat
ter should be again taken up, that they
would recommend that particular atten-
ton be paid to this matter.
Third, that in view of the fact, that
the state school tax will be very much
increased by reason of the increase in
assessed valuation made by the tax COM
mission and the further fact that there
are several other reasons why the tax
for the present. year is likely to be larger
than in many previous years, they would
recommend that no further action be
taken at this session in relation to the
matters set forth in such resolution and
would therefore recommend that II be
I'M 'ehnitely postponed.

Basic City Happenings.

The course of events in Basic are
changing with the change of time. A
few weeks ago all were busy with pre-
parations for celebrating the birth of
Christ, and for reminding men of the
good will proclaimed between Heaven
and earth.
These are now past. and the ladies
are busy with work of another kind.
Within week or two, they will give
an oyster supper for the benefit of the
Presbyterian church.
On the 18th, the people of Basic and
aud Waynesboro will have an oppor-
tuuity of seeing the Passion Play in
the Lee Opera House.
Waynesboro has a new postoffice
building, we note with pleasure; and
Basic, we are sorry to say, now has
saloon. We hope both may do the
people much good, and little harm. A
few nights since the store of Mr.. Smith,
in Basic, was broken into by two
darkies, four revolvers and some other
Valuables were taken. But the thieves
who were caught the next evening
will pay dearly for their work.
The public school of this town, I'M
der the direction of it's four teachers,
has been progressing nicely this term.
The Board of Trustees have repaired
the building and furnished it with
much needed apparatus.
