THE FISCAL COURT.
ReScindS Order for Taxation
System of Road Working.
Orders Much Needed Improve
ments on Court House and
Construction Of Bridges.

Saturday after having completed
its work. The court made an ex-
cellent record, especially in point of
time as it usually takes from seven
to ten days to transact the business
of the October term. AS forecasted
in our last issue, Mr.. Frank Black
was elected to the position of aims
house keeper.
The court rescinded the order or
recommendation concerning the
working of the roads by taxation.
which was made at the last January
term of the Fiscal Court. 1t was seen
that the present rate of taxes was in
adequate to work the roads and meet
the other necessary expense and pay
off any of the Indebtedness, and it
was further determined that the
law makes no provision for any
increase in the rate Of taxation, if
the court had been inclined to
want to raise it, which being true
there was nothing left but to declare
off the tax system of working the
roads.
1t was the belief of the members of
the court at the time that the taxa
ton system of working the roads was
recommended last January that the
present rate Of taxes would produce
sufficient money to work them
but to their surprise it will not by
any means do so. So the old system
of road working will continue with
us for some time yet at least, and
the roads as heretofore will be what
each neighborhood makes them.
The court should be congratulated
on the honest effort which it is maxi
ing to devise some means of better
ing the roads without increasing the
burdens of the tax payers. Every
body favors better roads and many
would welcome them even at addi-
tisnal cost but the majority of the
people feel that their burdens are
amply sufficient and this is the view
that our fiscal court took of the
matter.
The following other matters of
Importance were passed on by the
court:
Judge w. B. Taylor, County At
torney E. M. Woodward and Esq.
w. S. Dean were appointed as COM
mittee and empowered to have an
iron bridge built across Adams Fork
Creek near where it empties into
Rough river.
Esqs. Harrison Austin, B. S. Cham
berlain and T. d. Owen were APP
pointed as committee and empow-
cred with authority to have an iron
bridge built across Hanley's Branch
on the Hartford and Calhoun road.
County Court Clerk W. S. Tinsley
and County Attorney E. M. Wood
ward were appointed as a committee
and empowered to have the old win
dows in the lower rooms of the court
house taken out and modern win
dows put in.
Esqs. B. S. Chamberlain and S. H.
Render and Capt. Jas. M. DeWeese
were appointed as committee and
authorized to rent a room in Hart
ford to be used by Company H, Ma
tional Guards.
E. P. Bennett was allowed S26 for
sheep killed and injured by dogs
on September 2, 1906. The same
was ordered certified to the Auditor
of the State for payment. This is
the first claim presented for pay
ment from this county since the re-
cent dog Law was enac ted.

charges against his admin

Big Twir1er Of the St. Louis Team
Thought to Have Jumped.


St.-Louis. May s.-Jack Powell has
been heard from. and the big boiler
maker is probably in Coatesvil1e, Pa,
by this time. Powell has not returned
home, but word has been received that
he had departed for the Pennsylvania
mining town Monday night, and in
tended to jump to the outlaw league
and Up to Tuesday noon his family
had heard nothing Of him. AS re-
suit, they were becoming alarmed
when the word was received that Jack
was all right and on his way to find
employment elsewhere.
If Powell carries out his intention
of playing with the outlaw team al
Coatesville it means the end of his
career as a major league pitcher, as
he will be placed on the blacklist
Powell is under contract to the St.
Louis club. and according to the rule
passed by the national commission last
winter, any player jumping a contra CT
with a team under protection of the
national commission, this including the
national association of minor leagues
is biacklisted for life. The penalty for
jumping a reserve is not so severe. as
it merely subjects the player to fine.
The Coatesville team is the one
Jimmie Sebring jumped to. and is
managing. and Sebring and the Coates
vile management have been extending
invitations to players of both major
leagues to jump. Sebring is on the
blacklist as a result of his jump The
