The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1905-12-15

A prominent Democratic leader
of the county, who is bitterly oppos-
ed to the new tax laws because they
are believed to be in the interest OF
the people in general, objects to his
personal property being assessed ~
certain value placed on it last
spring, when the personal properly
assessors did their work. He saws
it is not worth so much now. That
is good deal like ones having =
fine mich COW, when the assessor
comes around, and going dry several
months afterward. OF course, the
COW is not worth so much dry as
when giving milk but that is no
reason the assessment should be
changed. Yet there are few so
foolish ms to believe it would be the
proper thing TO lower the tax value
of horse after it had cast a shoe,
or COW after she had lost teet.

Hundreds Of Democrats are salts
fed with the re-assessment in this
county and have sufficient confidence
in the county court to believe that
its action will be fair. But there
are several Democratic schemers and
politicians who are not only not
willing to pay their share Of the
taxes but who also want the people
IN general to be discomfort. They
have two-fold object. One is to
shirk their share of the burden of
citizenship, if it may be so termed,
and the other is to get rid of plan
Of taxation that has for its main oh
ject equal taxation and relief to
those who have heretofore paid more
than their share. These objects do
not commend themselves to honest
thinking citizens.

JUDGES VIGOROUS RE
MARKS.

Along the line of vigorous re-
marks by judge, the Telegram has
yet to find one so severe as those
made a few days ago by Mississip-
pi circuit judge, as evidenced by the
following dispatch sent out from
Louisville, Miss:
'sFhe term Of the circuit court in
Louisville, for Winston county, is
attracting wide attention on account
of the remarks addressed by Judge
Robert Cochran to the sheriff when
directing him to summon men for
jury duty.
after organizing his court and
charging the jury Judge Cochran
turned to the sheriff and delivered
the following:
"T will now try you and see
whether you will do the decent

"Gie Us A Lead"

Dean Hole in his book "More
Memories" tells an amusing story OF
how an old woman got the better OF
her clergyman in an argument. The
village churchyard was overcrowded
EXCEPT on its sunless northern side
in which the. suicide was buried. One
day the vicar, while visiting a poor old
woman who was nigh unto DEATH
thought he would try to get her con-
sent to be buried in the roomy north
ern plot. He began by assuring her
that the common aversion to burial IN
any particular portion of consecrated
ground as a silly prejudice and a
foolisti superstition. Then he be-
sought her, as a personal favor to
himself and as an example to others,
to permit her body to be buried in the
northern plot of the churchyard.
The old woman thought it all over
for few minutes and then answered,
"Well sir, as you seem to think as one
part of the churchyard is as good as
another and that it makes not differ
ence where we be put, perhaps you'll
gle us lead."
The vicar did not grasp the argu-
nient, but he changed the subject.

Didn't Follow Instructions.

A rather good story was related at a
banquet given in the Masonic temple
a few nights ago. The speaker said
that a certain individual had express
ed a desire to become associated with
the order, and asked if it was true that
a member could travel the world over
free of cost, merely by giving one Of
the many secret signs. Being answer
ed in the affirmative, he said that if
his Masonic friend would confiden-
TALLY give him sign that would take
him to Pittsburg and return, without
being required to purchase transporta-
ton he would join the order.
The friend, something Of wag, in

structed the candidate to raise his
hand to the right side of the head
whenever the conductor approached
him for his ticket, and learning the
train he was going to take, purchased
the transportation, explaining matters
to the conductor of the train and
awaited developments. The candidate
for Masonic honors followed instruc-
tions and all went well, of course, un-
til he was coming back. AS no return
ticket had been provided for he was
forced to pay his fare.
Naturally this made him angry, and
upon meeting the friend, he was not
in the least backward in denouncing
him and the order.

tions I gave your" was asked.
II did," was the reply:
'What did you. do coming back?'
"I placed my hand on the right
side of my head and wigled my fin
gers"
"That's where you made a mistake.
You were returning and you should
have wiggled on THE left side"
He subsequently relented and be-
came a member Of the order.

QUESTION RAISED IN
SPARIANBURG COUNTY
SOUGHT TO PREVENT DISPEN-
.- SARY ELECTION.
On Motion of Attorneys for Dispen-
ser Order Served Upon County
IA Board to Show Cause.
J. w. Harmon, Plaintiff =

VS.
D. M. Miles in his own right and as
Supervisor of Spartanburg County,
and others. (Here follows list of
managers of election.)
The plaintiff complaining of the de-
PENDANTS alleges:
1st That the plaintiff is citizen
of Spartanburg County, South Caro-
lima, and has been for number OF
years next preceding this date; that
plaintiff owns both real and personal
property in the said county Of Spar
tanburg on which plaintiff now pays
and 1as>been paying for consider
able time next preceding this date
taxes TO the said County of Spartan
burg and the State of South Carolina.
That in addition thereto plaintiff is
an officer of Spartanburg County,
holding the Office of County Dispen-
ser and drawing a salary from the
State for his services as such officer.
end. That the defendant, D. NJ.
: Miles, has ordered his co-defendants
in this case to hold an election upon
the question of 'Dispensary" Or mo
Dispensary" in the County Of Spartan
burg on the 9TH day Of November,
1905.
3rd. That said defendants have no
right to hold said election for the rea-
SON that the order of the defendant,
D. M. Miles was null and void and i'm
provident1y issued for the reason
that no petition had ever been signed
by one-fourth of the qualified voters
of the county of Spartanburg asking
for an election upon either the ques-
ton of the establishment or the re-
rnoval of the dispensaries in the coun-
ty of Spartanburg. That no such Pc
tition as is required by Section 7 Of
Acts of 1904 on page 486 is now on file
with D. NJ Miles, County Supervisor
of Spartanburg; and that no such Pc
tition as contemplated and required
by said Section of said Statute has
ever been filed at any time with the
said D. NJ. Miles.
4th. That the act of 1904 No. 276
on pages as, 486 and 487 of the acts
of 1904, is unconstitutional and null
and void for the following reasons:
That the said act is for the purpose
amongst other things of raising reve-
nue., and originated in the Senate Of
South Carolina and not in the House
of Repres entatives as the Constitution
Of South Carolina requires.
5th. That if said election above re-
ferred to should be held as ordered by
the said D. NJ. Miles, and should re-
suit in favor of mo Dispensary"
plaintiff would be required in the fu- |
ture to pay out considerable sum OF !
money in addition to the taxes plain
tiff now has to pay 10 plaintiffs dam
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-11-07

age in a very large sum Of money, the
exact amount of which cannot be as
certained at this time, in addition
thereto plaintiff would be deprived OF
his said office and his salary, therefor.
9th. That plaintiff has no adequate
remedy at law. That therefore he
would be driven to multitude
of suits to maintain his rights
unless the defendants be restrained
from holding said election; that the
cost of said suits would be so very ex-
pensive that plaintiff would be unable
to pay the necessary expenses Of
same, by all of which plaintiff would
suffer great and irreparable loss and
damage.
Wherefore plaintiff prays: First,
That the defendants each and all be
enjoined from holding said election
on the 9TH day of November, 1905, or
that an order do issue requiring said
defendants to appear before Hon. J.
c. K1ugh,, Esq, circuit judge Of South
Carolina, on Monday, November 9th.
1905, to show cause why said defend
ants should not be enjoined from
holding said election, and for such
other and further relief as may be
just.
