II was learned this week that
two Of the lists Of errors allowed
to the collectors Of taxes had
been removed from the Clerk
of the Peace's ONCE. The infor-
nation was given TO the public
during the discussion Of q reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Ewart. au-
thoriiziing the ibiliication 8 the
error lists so that the taxpayers
may know who and what consti-
tute the "errors. Then the
Clerk of the Peace announced
that the error lists for Brandy
wine and st. Georges Hundred
had disappeared and that the one
for ST. Georges had been taken
by a member of the Levy Court.
The law provides that after a
collector shall have taken an af-
fidavit as to the correctness of
his list, that it shall then hang.
in the Office of the Clerk of the
Peace for five days. Afterwards
it becomes one Of the county
records. It has become quite
common in recent years for pub
lie records to be lost or mis-
placed. It is said that there are
no bills on file to show for the
large amounts expended for GER
tain officials allowances prior to
January 1st, 1901. Such things
may be considered as primd faciG
evidence of fraud. No honest
bill or claim can be attacked at
any time present or future and
the person presenting it does
not fear publicity.
In reference to the twolists re-
ferred to above, the Levy Court
owes it to itself to disclose the
name of the member who took
the st. Georges Hundred list.
All and each of them Except Mr.. |
Ewart who was not a member of |
the court at the time) are under
suspicion. Immediately after
the errors were allowed last sum-
mer, there was a rumor that one
of the collectors had as one item
in his errors: 'tSundry other err
rors, 100000. The county tax
alone on this amount would be
at the old rate $500, and the
road tax approximately half as |,
much more. An allowance of
thatkind, being directly contrary
to the law and amounting, prac-
tically, to a gift to the collector
of nearly thousand dollars, we
tried to ascertain the truth of i
the rumor, but were unable to do
so as the list was not on public
although within the
i've days limit.
The Levy Court is insisting
that ex-County Treasurer John
T. Dickey shall return his books
to the county. 1t should also in
sist that the member who "re-
moved" st Georges Hundreds
error list should return the same.
There should be no trouble in as
certaining which member got
the list, for Clerk of the Peace
Quigley evidently knows. And
1t would appear that the other
Commissioners knew. Other
wise, curiosity if nothing else,
would have dictated the question, {
"who got the lists?'

MAKING PICTURES WITH BITS OF WOOD

Il know of an artist who creates pictures, and
beautiful ones at that. without brush, camera or
any other of the usual accessories of the artist
said admirer of art recently. His name is Lar
rabee, E. c. Larrabee. jr., and he lives in Salem.
Mass lie makes pictures for the pure love of
the thing-doesnt pretend to make a business
of it.
But the strange part of it is that his pictures
are made from wood-bits of the rarest woods tnat
he has spent nearly two decades in collecting from
all parts Of the globe The pictures turned by
Mr.. Larrabee truly marvellous. Some think
they rival the exquisite inIaid pearl work done
in any cline.
You can readily that it requires no small de-
gree of skill to lay out. and place together
blend and give the effect of painting in oils Yet
this is what Mr.. Larrabee does, and he does it so
too that not the suggestion is given that
wood is used instead of pigment.
"A friend of his tells that he has known him
to search over his assortment of material half
day to find tiny bit of wood requiring not more
than five minutes to inlay.
''One of Mr.. Larrabee's best pictures is a Paris
Street Musician This picture, which represents
old violin player. with hat In hand and an fnstru-
ment under one arm, will give idea of what the
Inahoganv the coat is inlaid in black ebony from
Madagascar. the hat in striped ebony from the
banks of the Congo River, the hair and portions of
the trousers of Alabama persimmon, the eyes OF
white English holly, the cuffs and of Ameri
maple, portions OF the vest of gold col
bamboo from India and yellow sandal wood from
the Philippines. the face and hands of
colored olive wood from Palestine. the shirt Of
cream colored ounce wood grown in MaSsach
setts and the violin bridge of Cuban pepil. The
ash gray impee wood from the Philippines was
used for portions of the trousers and hat.
