Supervisors Further Perforated
County Bonds

Supervisors Further Perforated
County Bonds
The Board of Supervisors o
Rockbridge, at an adjourned meet
ing held last Saturday, further
cancelled by perforation county
bonds to August. 1908, the las
general perforation having bee,
done June 80, 1897. Most OF the
day was spent on this business
and the greatest care was exer.
cised in comparing the bonds with
the reports of the Sinking Fund
Commissioners, who had previous
ly redeemed and cancelled the
bonds.
The system used by the Rock
bridge Supervisors in retiring and
recording county bonds that have
been paid and refunded is a most
excellent one, and system that
provides against any loss or pos-
sibls mistake that might occur.
Two complete records of the trans
actions are kept, one by the Sink
ing Fund Commissioners when the
bonds are redeemed and cancelled.
and another by the Board of Super
visors when trey are further can
celled by perforatlon. The bonds
are then filed away in the vaults
of the clerks office, after being
properly recorded. Thus it is pos
sible at any time to trace any
Of the bonGs of the county, and it
would be impossible for a spurious
bond to be imposed upon the coun-
ty treasurer. If any doubt should
arise as to it's validity, an exami-
nation of records in the clerks
office would prove satisfactory and
final.
At some future time the Board
of Supervisors may possibly select
a date for burning Of all county
bonds, as their accumulation lie
becoming burdensome. Before
this is done, complete records will
again be made and filed away for
future reference. So for all time
the records of all county bonds will
be complete.
The matter of the election of
health officer for the county to
succeed DR.. A. D. Estill was con-
tinued to the January meeting.
DR.. Estill was requested to con-
tinue biz service until that time.
In our report last week the state
meDt occurred that DR.. Estill had
rendered his resignation, which is
a mistake. The board some time
ago gave notice to DR.. Estlll that
the contract with him would be
tel minated at a certain date, and
since that time no election Of his
successor has taken place.
Mr.. j. w. Wallace rendered his
resignation as road commissioner
for South River district which
was accepted, and Mr.. James A.
Wilson was elected to succeed
him.
The sum of $25 was appropriate
I'D for use by the County Board of
Health.
Clerk Shields was instructed to
order ten gallons of inse,ticide,
me half to be used at the county
all and the other at the county
arm.
There was a full attendance at
he meeting, as follows: Super
'isors Kinnear (chairman,) Whit
more, McNutt, Ayres, Hotinger
md Patterson.

o.. Russellville, KY, Aug. 1.--Four
negroes, Virgil, Tom and Robert
Jones and Joe hlley, were taken from
jail here early today and hanged to
q tree on the edge Of town. NO shots
we're fired by the mob, which was
composed Of about fifty men, and
the people OF the town knew nothing
OF the affair until daylight revealed
the four bodies dangling from a tree.
The negroes who were 1ynched were
members OF lodge and at a meeting
recently, 1t Is said, they approved the
murder OF James Cunningham, q
whtte farmer, by negro tenant, Ru-
fus Browder. This murder occurred
In the southern part Of Logan county,
and 1T Is supposed the mob was made
up Of men from that part of the
county. -, .. .s..
The negroes had been IN jail for
several days and while there was con-
siderable unrest since the attempt
made on the part Of the mob to take
Browder, the slayer of Cunningham,
from the jail some nights age, no
real trouble was expected and there
was no guard placed around the pris-
on. The effort to get Browier failed,
owing to the fact that he was spirit

where he is now. a.g

FOR TAFT IN WEST BIRGINrA ISL

Washington, July 31.-In the
opinion OF, Senator IN, B. Scott, the

yond all questions thS success Of Mr..

election. M 5ss.,S5}ss, s,%.F

faction among thems Just as it. did
among the, Negroes of other north
ern states, and the fepublican lead
erss there were beginning to show ap-
nrehension over what course they
might pursue with. respect to-, the
presidency. But now, by adopting
q plank favoring virtual ,disfranchise.
ment of Negroes and also Jim

democrats, dem according to Senator
SCOTS view, have absolutely lost ey-
