II the county OF Newberry desires
70 have the taxes for county purposes
reduced the expenses OF running the
county government must be reduced.
The clerk of the board told us some
time ago that the average expenses
of the county for three years had
been between $4,000 and $4,000
The taxable property for the past
several years has been about five mil
lion dollars and the income from the
dispensary about $4,000. 1t is
very simple calculation to tell that a
two and a half mill tax on FIVE mil
lion valuation will bring in only a
little over $4,000, which, added to
the dispensary profit, will still fall
short of the expenditures several
thousand dollars, which must be met
sooner or later. This thing of redrc-
ing the county levy without reducing
the expense account has put the coun-
tv behind each year until the debt
amounts 20 a considerable sum, upon
which the taxpayers are paying IN
terest. Is there any good business
judgment in accumulating a debt and
paving interest On it when we know
the debt must be met sooner OF later?
Which is true economy, 70 pay as
We 60 or to 60 on credit and pay
interest when we know we must pay

must reduce county expenses. That
IS the place to start our economy.

THE WAR OF 1872.
Sole Survivor Patiently Looking For
ward to 1o5th Birthday.

\ dispatch from Utica says that
with most OF his faculties gone and
a constant sufferer from the intirnl-
ities incident to extreme Old age,
Hiram Cronk, the sole survivor OF the
war OF 1872. lies on bed in the little
shack which he calls home in the vii
lage of Dunn Brook, near Rome. pa
tiently looking forward to April 90
next when, if he is still living, he will
have rounded out his 1o5th year.
But it is doubtful if his aspirations
in this respect will berealized. for
he is rapidly failing. and it is hardly
possible that he will survive until
winter. He is totally blind, almost
entirely deaf, and the few words he
uteters are scarcely intelligibie. save
to his daughter or his son-in-law.
with whom he is passing his few re-
naming days.
For the purpose OF ascertairing the
present state of his health and Of dis
covering whether the veterans con-
dition had been ameliorated by the
monthly pension OF S72 bestowed
upon him by the state at the last Ses-
sion of the legislature. Sun reporter
journeyed to Dunn Brook recently.
He found Cronk at the home Of Mrs.
Sarah A. Rowley, his daughter.
The old man lay in half reclining
position on the bed, propped up by
pillows. He moved his sightless eyes
when the reporter entered the room
seeming to understand that visitor
had arrived, though he is stone deaf
and il is necessary to use an ear trunl-
pet when speaking to him.
His daughter employed this method
/ to apprise him of the reporters call.
A few moments later the veteran
turned his face away, and soon his la
borious breathing indicated that he
had dropped off into doze.
By way OF explanation Mrs Rowley
said that her father spends most Of
his time sleeping and converses very
little. often going several days with
out uttering a slyabble. When he
talks he asks about present day hap
penings. seldom, if ever. recurring 70

Writmire is much more lmpor-
tant place commercially than it was
2 few years ago, and politically the

much mistaken.
There are some very handsome
stores in Whitmire, as nice as any
in the county. Some OF the merchants
are talking about raising money and
labor to build some roads to the
town. There is no one thing that
will do the town so much good as
some good roads leading to it.

and among other things he stated
that nearly 5000 feet of tunnels,
drifts and crosscuts had been run
and that this work had opened up
sufficient quantities of ores to sup
ply a reduction plant with 1000
tons daily for several years to
come. Assays made from samples
taken from some Of the ore bodies
exposed by recent development
give values of from 1921 TO $500
per ton.
Air compressors having a capa-
city for running large number of
drills have been recently installed
and will greatly facilitate the fur
ther development of the mines.
The company proposes to erect
two smelters having IA daily capa-
city of 100 tons each which will be
augmented later on by the erec-
ton of additional furnaces until the
company will be able to treat 1000
tons of ore every twenty-four hours.

Thursday evening Mr.. George D.

MACDALENA LOCALS.

Mr.. Con O'Keefe, of Nogales,
Maid our town visit this week.
The rain of last week did stock
and alfalfa much good, but more is
needed.
The local mining office has done
more business the first four months
Of this year, than all of lastyear.
People are coming here almost
daily, from La Cananea. Some
stop here to 90 into business, and
others 90 on to La Brisca.
Mr.. Frank Cox passed through
here this week from Nogales, on
his way to the Cerro Prieto mine
OF which property he is the super
intendent.
Mr.. Davila says his plant will
be completed, and he will begin
the manufacture OF ice next week.
This event will be greatly appre-
ciated by the people OF Magdalena.
1t is rumored that work will be
begun on the new depot building
the first Monday in June. This
building is greatly needed. Freight
and other business is rapidly in
creasing.
The rumor that Stiles and his
associates are in this vicinity, is
not credited here. The country
is well patrolled by Col. Roster
lisky's mounted rurales, and all
travellers are closely scrutinized.
Magdalena does not need hot air
mining promoters, and hotel dead
beats and grafters. Nor does she
need laboring men without means,
who expect to get job on stepping
off the cars. Living is high and
Jobs are few 1t is bad town in
which to be broke.
Magdalena needs some practical
farmers with some capital. She
also needs good livery stable;
electric light; bank, clothing store
and tailor shop; bakery-American
style; water system, and good
bath house. There are other things
but these are considered the most
pressing. especially the bath house.

Salt pork is a famous old

sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
e%onsumptive SO and 100

Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the c~onsumptiye needs
most.
SCOTS mul sionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, bur
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
