Friends of Mr.. Henry T. Morris, of
the Southern Grocery Company, were
surprised and panied to learn of his
serious condition OF health. Friday
night before last he had severe
hemorrhage with recurranees of the
trouble at intervals since. DIR. H. h.
Bass started with him to Asheviile
Thursday thinking the change would
be beneficial to him. While waiting
in Raleigh for the Southern train Mr..
Morris had another and more severe
attack and his condition was such
that he could not go any further. He
is there yet, one of his brothers being
with him, and while at last reports
he was resting somewhat easier his
condition is such as to cause grave
anxiety to his physicians and friends
Although Mr.. Morris has not been in
robust health for some time there
was nothing to indicate trouble OF
this kind and the suddenness of the
attack caused great surprise.

for New York being joined in Ports
mouth by Mr.. Corbitt and they
sailed Friday on the Cunard Liner

tania. Maj. Jones was born in
England and the object of the trip
was to visit his old home and to see
his father and mother. 1t will be
recalled by our older citizens that
Dr. Turner Jones and his family
were residents of Henderson for some
years, coming here about the time his
brother-in-law, Mr.. N. II. Chavasse
and his family did, but DR.. and Mrs.
Jones went back to England while
the two sons, R. j. and p. r., elected
to remain.
1t was n sore disappointment to
Maj. Jones that he and Richard
could not be on the same boat TO-

out is such that they will not see
each other more than two or three
times while they are. ''doing the old

Taxes Levied For Ensuing Year.

Tie Magistrates and County Com
missioners met in joint session Mon
day for the purpose Of levying taxes
for 1908, and to transact any other
business coming before them. In
fixing the budget the Board found
themselves up against tough prop
osition-face toface with q condition,
not a theory-and it was necessary
to go the constitutional limit of 66x
cents for State and county purposes,
apportioned as follows: For State
purposes 81 cents, for county pur-
poses 23x cents, for school purposes,
1Scents, for pensions 4 cents on each
800 worth of property. On each
taxable poll $500, this being the
amount fixed by recent decision OF
the Supreme court. The poll tax
last year was $2.61, or three
times the rate assessed against 500
worth of property. A considerable
loss is thus incurred, and there will
be the loss of funds heretofore re-
ceived from the dispensary while ex-
ira obligations must be met.
A special road tax of II cents was
levied for working the roads, and 3
cents for interest on the road bonds.
A special school tax of 20 cents
was levied in Kittrell township for
Districts 6, Z and s, and also in Dis
tricts 1 and 2 the same amount.
A special school tax of Is cents
was levied in Henderson township
for the Henderson Graded Schools,
and cents for interest on the bonds
of said schools.
OF the "a magistrates in the county
l3 were present, with the full Board
of County Commissioners.
1t has long been the boast that
Vance county had one of the lowest
tax rates of any county in the State,
only one county having a lower rate
for several years-but economically
as the affairs OF the county are ad.
ministered it is necessary that taxes
be raised. The rate in Henderson
township for all purposes is made
81 .O3X as against 81 cents last year,
In Kittrell township, school dis
tricts 1 and2 and 6, 1and 8 in which
special taxes are levied the rate is
S6x cents The county at large
where no special tax is levied fol-
schools or roads is 66X cents as
above stated.

to Greenville, where he made his
home during the tobacco season.
Some time ago Ire bought an interest
in the Penacea Springs property,
near Littleton, and was greatly inn
proving the same by building new
modern hotel and in other ways.
Mr.. Prichard was a man of great
energy and enterprise and had pros
pered in business. He was staunch
member of the Methodist church and
had the confidence and esteem of all
who knew him.

To come home and was walking to
the depot. just before reaching the
station she heard a train moving and
thinking it was the one she wanted
to go on she ran to catch it. She had
not gone but a little ways when she
fell to the ground and expired almost
instantly. Heart failure was attrib-
uted as the cause, brought on by
sudden and violent agitation and ex-
element of the moment. Deceased
had not been in good health for
some time and her heart was natur-
ally weak.
Sarah Harris was respectable,
nice hammered girl and was well
thought OF by those who knew her.
She was a daughter of George and
Helen Harris, worthy colored people
who live neor town, and to them and
the husband their white friends as
