Civil Governor Taft has told the
Philippine committee OF the Sensts the
reason why the salaries over there are

Greek, Is miles from Suffolk, on Thurs
day night had an experience With the
Dsmal Swamp monster, which earlier
bis week killed seven OF Edward

shot at the strange animal several times

peared at the home OF Henry Jordan,

much upset over tne strange visits, and
farmers are fearing for the safety Of
their ct ock. The thing Ia described 90

This monster may be the same that
followed the Norfolk boat to this city
aud which has caused no little appre-

ON the state board for investigation and
relief The county commissioners had
been consulted, but they professed in.
ability to do anything although they
conceded that II was case Of over
taxation.

the fact that power TO correct the ac-
ton OF the county assessor rests with
the county commissioners ANY ac-
ton the county board should take
