Facts Examined.
o the Editor of the Dispatch:

| LIZ WIG c01eOl O4 oho N'e eEN
In your last issue, you submitted
some ssfacts" upon the annexation
subject. Briefly We examine the
same. You give as your reasons
against dismembermept:
1st. Sentiment. We do dislike to
be disassocisted with some of as good
people as the sun ever shined upon.
| Sentiment is ssnice," but it does not
| work roads, run schools and pay
taxes. When onr cousins come to
| see us, we want to give them good
| roads to travel over.
| 2ud. A Constitutional provision.
Admitted. This is the strongest
argument against a part of the Fork
going to Richland. There is roth
| ing like taking time by the fore-lock.
| This agitation has been heard of be-
fore. Let me sneeze; but it is too
late now.
3rd. Expense of transferring
mortgages, deeds. etc. Now I am q
lavman in law May be if I could
ssbe way from home" week, I
could give an opinion on the matter.
However, what are mortgages, titles,
and the like recorded for! Is it not
only in case litigation should arise
that they might serve as evidence?
In ease such litigation, could not the
records of Lexington be consulted as
evidence though we belong to Rich
land?
4th. School term too long to suit
the Fork. Bah! surely the Dispatch
is not serious. It might be debat.
able question whether we should lay
special levy to run our school terms
longer, but it is no question as to
whether we could we'll use more
money with the same or less taxes.
There are plenty of teachers now
trying to teach from 40 to 20 schol-
ars. Any one who has ever tried,
knows that with our classification
or, rather the want of it-as We have
no teacher can do justice to SO many.
If the term is too long, then by all
means have two teachers where We
now have only one. Or, look at our
;! school houses. I know of not one in
Lexington county that could not be
much bettered by few hundred dol
lars worth of improvement. It often
happens that the funds are not all
used because of some local temporary
condition, with the hope that the
next year they can have q good long
term I know of such-bare them
in mind now.

An Interesting Operation.

An interesting operation is to be
performed in Trenton, N. j. A boy
of three months has head 80 big
aud heavy that he can't sit down, and
the surgeons are going to try and re-
duce the swelling. The operation for
"big head" ought to grow as common
as that for appendicitis. Hydroce-
phslus is the disease of this age; and
it is especially frequent in the world
of politics.

land. Yes, but stop; why? Echo
answers, why? What do We have a
State Board of Equalization for?
just recently this State Board, con-
stituted of the Chairman of each
County Board seriously considered
the propriety of raising the valuation
put on the land of Lexington county.
One of the best men Lexington
county sfeords-one whom Lexington
houors and trusts, appeared before
the Board, and explained that wbil"
the land in Richland on whole was
higher than that of Lexington as a
whole, yet to take adjoining town
ships in the two counties. where the
land is of equal value, it was assessed
equal. So in Orangeburg and Aiken
counties, while the land is assessed
higher in these as whole, yet if we
take the townships in these counties
which adjoin ours, fiud their land
assessed no higher than that of Lex
ington Wnen this was made clear,
the State Board let our land remain
as it was. This is ''fact" We do
not believe the land in Ricbland is
assessed higher than il is in the
Fork. Some of our lsnd over here
stands on the Auditors books at IS
per acre. Now we insist that the
Dispatch must give the levy of Rich
land correct. It is as follows:
} State, 5 mills.
Ordinary county, 81 !"
Constitutional school tax, 3
Special school tax, city of
Columbia, 2
Special tax, G N &LRR
Columbia township, Z
Total, IA mills
From this you see that the tax
outside of Columbia is only LII mills.
We said IA mills, but that included
the special levy. The Dispatch did
not Say that it got it's information
from the Evening Record. 1t is not
fair to public who cannot always
easily consult the records, to give a
thing as a fact, and then when run
to the wall, to dodge behind the
"they say. Most of US hold the
Dispatch responsible for it's unmodi-
fed statements, even in the matter
of "private" roads. # there is doubt
about q thing, say 80. From what
We can learn, the assessment in Rich
land is no higher than in Lexington
''for the same quality of land, and
the number of mills is only III
against our IL as to taxes.
9Th. Richland's debt. The Dis
patch still insists on it that Richland
is in debt. We cannot use such
