Road Tax Not Unlawful.

In your issue Of February 3, Tax
payer" charges the Board OF Supervisors
with having disregarding the law, and
Of having unlawfully levied a road tax
of IS and 90 cents on the 800. further
claims that the road law limits the levy
to - cents on 800.
AS "Taxpayer" has make rather ser
ious charge against the Board and seems
to be ignorant of the law I will suggest
that he apply himself TO the following
citation of authority:
The special or old road law Of Clarke
county only allows the Board 10 levy ;
cents on the 800; that was amended in
the acts Of 1883 and allowed the Board
to make levy Of - cents on 800 The
acts Of 1894 were amended in 1894
allowing the Board 10 make levy OF
20 cents on 800. And in the session Of
1904 an act was passed repeating all
former acts and acts am-ndstory thereof
and allowing the Board 10 increase is
levy to 80 cents on 800
l will further say that do not think
there has been any intention on the part
% the Board TO override the law. and
am fully satisfied that there has been no
attempt to disregard 1t

A Laudible Enterprise.

An effort is now being made
among the students of the Berry
vile High School to get up a
library for the school. To this end
they are planning to hold a Book
Reception" on Wednesday, Feb
ruary %, at $50 p. NJ, to which
all friends of the school are cor
daily invited. 4 short program
is being prepared for the occasion,
and it is hoped that each person
will contribute some good book to
form a nucleus for the library. Ii
each family will comply with this
request to bring or send a book,
the burden will fall heavily upon
none, whereas the efficiency of the
school and the pleasure of the
pupils will be increased incalcula-
bly,. The object is certainly q
most commendable one, and de-
serves the hearty support of every
one who is interested in the wei
fare of the community.

The country does not need Rural

The country does, most emphsticslly,
most pitifully, need Good Rosds.
Suppose the Government should take

If the United States Government

The March Smart Set.

The Smart Set has fairly outdone
itself in the March number, which
marks tho beginning uf the sixth
year of Its existence. The complete
novel is THE Princess Elopes. "
by Harold MacGrath. an author
wh''se immense popularity is due
To the fact that he is born story
teller. Mr.. MacGrath is ut his
very best in this charming tale of
European princess and a young
American medical student. 1t is a
delightful blending of romance and
delicate humOr, touched every
where with the deft hand of an
author who has mastered his craft.
Nothing better of its kind has APP
peared in a magazine in many a
month.
Among the dozen short stories
IN this number about half are by
authors who have been either en-
tlrely unknown hitherto to maya
zine readers or are Just coming
into prominence. 1t has always
been the avowed policy of the
Smart Set to encourage young
authors, and this issue proves the
wisdom of the policy. One of the
best stories in the magazine is "A
Nenial OfFense," by Norvell Har-
rison. In marked contrast To its
humor is the powerful and dramatic
motive of Beatrix Demarest
Lloyd's "A Man Unlcarned."
William Hamilton Osborne'S The
Transfer of Thorneycroft" Is a
strikingly clever and satirical story
of phase of smart society, and
The Transit of Soul" by Frances
Aymar Mathews, is so strange and
unusual that it dcfies classification.
Other stories, equally clever, are
10y Kate Jordan, Van TaSsel SUIT
phen, Clinton Dangerfield, Julia
b. Foster and Algernon Tassin.
Maurice Francis Egan has an
entertaining and timely essay on
Questions of Precedence" in
which he discusses the laws that
govern social usages in Washington
The verse in the March Smart
Set is of remarkably fine quality,
and includes characteristic work
10y Madison Cawein, iona Gale,
Arthur Stringer, Florence Wilkin-
son, Gouverneur Morris, Edith NJ.
Thomas, II. X. Munkittrick and
John Vance Cheney.
If The Smart Set maintains the
standard of this number even APP
proXimately for the coming twelve
months, the future success of the
magazine will be as sure as its past.
