An ExampIe From Berkeley County.

The farm owned by the Daniel
Stuckey heirs is assessed at $24 per
acre and was recently sold at $50.
This is about fair example Of the
valuation of the farms in Berkeley and
the rate at which they have been as
sessed. Under the new law that farm
will be assessed at $50 per acre, but
our Republican friends say that there
is to be eleven cents taken of next
year for State purposes, making the
levy "a cents on the hundred dollars.
The new burdens placed upon the
county will probably necessitate lay
ing that much more for county pur'
poses, but if they do not how will the
new law effect the Stuckey farm? The
levy in that district for all purposes
is now, say, about $1.75 on the hun
dred dollars, making, at $24 per acre,
AZ cents per acre tax. Under the new
law with the eleven cents State tax
off the levy will be $l64 at $50 per
acre, or 90 cents on the acre.-Nar-
tinSburg Statesman.

Cause of lockiaW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentiful
" IN street dirt. 1t is inactive so long
as exposed to the air, but when carried
beneath the skin, as in the wounds caus-
ed by percussion caps or by rusty nails,
and when the air is excluded, the germ
is reused to activity and produces the
most virulent poison known. These
germs may be destroyed and all danger
Of lockjaw avoided by applying Cham
berlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as
the injury is received. Pain Balm is
an an iseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without matur-
alton and in one-third the time required
by the usual treatment. Sold bg Rein-
