When the news Of the action ofabout
twenty six men at Summerton, with
regard TO the court house proposition
was published last week, fired the pro-
eressive citizens OF the county, and
petitions have been signed IN several
sections urging the Representatives to
stand by the action OF the county mass
meeting. That mass meeting was ad'
vertised, and its purposes stated IN the
notice or CALL the number present was
not many, but there were citizens from
nearly every section, it was not meet
ing composed of a few from one neigh
borhood, it was as much a representa-
tive convention, as was the one held
the year before which action was &C
cepte6 by the representatives. That
the majority of property owners ID this
county endorse the action of the mass
meeting which adopted resolution by
a vote of 26 to !, urging the Represen-
tatives to make provision Tor new
court house, is clear, by the large num-
Der of signers to the petitions clrculat-
ed since to Summerton meeting.
Summerton school district IS paying
q tax of it's own voluntary making, and
that town deserves to be commended
for its spirits of enterprise, but because
they have taxed themselves Tor local
improvements, it is no reason why they
should attempt TO throttle the progress
of the whole county by taking advane-
age of the circumstance OF having 10
that community two of the Representa-.
tiyes. Summerton is only part OF
Clarendon, and the gentleman hvlng
in that section who are members OF the

fact that they represent Clarendon coun-
tv as whole, and noJone school district.

OF the county as expressed IN the large

Some Interesting Facts.

County Auditor Burgess has furnish
ed US the following facts and figures
relative to the work in his office for
the information of the Legislative dele
cation, and the same will likely prove
highly interesting to or readers gen.
orally:

propetry in Clarendon county was
81. .4S5.1!2: in 1901 the total taxable
properly amounted TO 1922, ll5, nearly

while last year the number returned
amounted 70 2,593. Ia 1888 there was
not L special school district in the
county, while now there are twenty
five special school districts with levies
from 10 mills.
In 1885 and until recent years the
tax books closed January 18th and by
February 18th the treasurer could get
Off the double entries. ETC.. and turn
the books over TO the auditor. AS it
now stands the treasurer collects taxes
Till March 18th and turns his book over
to the Auditor about the first of May
which gives him about. two and one
half months less time to get up treas
urer'S and auditors duplicates thau

In 1885 it tool; the county auditor
about two-thirds of his time to get out
his books
In 1907 it takes his entire and he is
obliged to have competent help for at
least two months.
The auditors salary is now about
$500. less two months hired help,
to about $50, and horse
hire, board. etc, for one month taking
returns. so: leaving about $3.50 net
salary for doing nearly twice as much
work as was required twenty wears ago.

OPENING TRADING
VOLUME IS SMALL
Slight RecOveries-S0me Stocks
Irregular-Morning Tendency
Was Strong but Dull.

Opening-The New York stock mar
ket opened this morning with prices
ranging about y a point under the
close of yesterday. Trading was quite
active and the undertone was very
strong.
10: 30-The market rallied about a
point from opening in the usual list
with a sprinkling of gains among he
less prominent issues. Denver & RIO

from yesterdays slump, and National
Biscuit rose / point. On the other
hand. Reading, Northern Pacific
Union Pacific declined a point each,
ana Atchison and American Smelling

a small scale, however.
II q. m.-During the hour there was
no special feature to the market put
side of its strength and firmness.
Trading was very light.
Noon-The opening depression was
overcome by gradual degrees, and the
weak features rallied to about where
they left off yesterday, and with a very
small demand for them. Some little
feverishness followed the first rise lii
prices, but the market again stiffened
sharply afterwards. When the news OF
the judicial decision favoring the Har-
riman control of the Illinois Central
was announced there was a
squirt of activity with the rising prices.
Stocks were distributed on the advance
and prices fell back, the trading re-
lapsing into stagnation. Bonds were
