TAX PROBLEM SETTLED.
Auditors of orangeburg and Calhoun
Counties Finish Work.


The work Of locating the taxpayers
and apportionIng the taxable property
in the townships divided by the Or
angeburg- Calhoun boundry line has
been completed, and representatives
Of the old and new counties appear
perfectly satisfied with the result.
The work was, done by Auditors T..
M. McMichael, of Orangeburg Coun-
ty, and ]. H. Haigler, of Calhoun
County, assisted by the following
citizens, some of whom reside in
each of the two counties affected, on
the line, and all in the four divided
townships: Caw-Caw Township, T..
w. Murph, j. C. Redmond; Orange
Township, T. P. Horger, w. B. Fogle,
Jno. F. Rickenbaker; Goodbys Iown-
ship, A. A. Dantzler, D. w. Haieler
Jno. D. Shuler; Poplar Township, j..
w. Fair, J. C. Parler, A. R. .Parler
Before Calhoun was formed Or
angeburg County contained % town
ships three of which, Amelia, Pine
Grove and Lyons, were entirely in
cluded in the new county's territory,
and four others Caw-Caw, Orange,
Goodbys and Poplar, were taken in
part. This leaves Orangeburg with
16 of her former townships intact,
and of those that were divided only
one, Caw Cav, is too small to be
treated as a seperate township, and
at the next session of the Legislature
a bill will probably be introduced
providing for the absorption by the
adjoining townships of that portion
of Caw-Caw remaining in Orange
burg. The old county tsill has l.,
townships.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
If Furred and Coated, it Is a Warn
ing Of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the
night before, you do not have to
look at your tongue to know that
the stomach Is ups-t, the head is
aching with dull rhythm, and that
all the world looks dreary.
The real time to watch the tongue
Is all Of the time. If 1t Is coated with
white fur, or possibly with dark
trimmings, even though the stomach
does not tell you by the acute pains
Of indigestion that it needs help, yet
the coating shows that you are get
ting into a bad way and that there
is need of Mi-o-na.
Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, SO
reliable in it's curative action upon
the stomach that DR.. ]. G. Wannama-
ker Mfg. Co.. the local agents, give
an absolute guarantee with every 80
cents box thy sell to refund the
money unless the remedy gives abso-
lutte and complete satisfaction

Gated building lots. This property
appropriately named Fairview is

minutes walk to business center and

Good building lots are getting scarce
and these should find ready purchas-

Judge Knapp. Two men could not

and individual characteristics. Judge
Knapp was portly. hardy and even
bluff. Judge Wright somewhat slight
Of figure, suave and affable. Judge
Knapp used to relish telling an incl
dent which he claimed occurred while
Senator Wright was visiting at his
house. The judge asserted that the
senator had after much practice ae-
quired the habit Of being interested in
every possible voter and had learned to
shake hands with each man he encoun-
tered. The senator was the guest Of
the judge and had hung his linen dust
er In the judges hallway. One morn
ing the Judge rushed down to his office
and did not notice that he put on the
senator's coat by mistake. Later In the
morning the senator swanted that coat,
but could not find 1t, and so proceeded
to Judge Knapp's office, where be dis
covered the missing garment on the
broad back of his substantial friend.
What are you doing with my coat?"
blandly inquired the senator.
"Your coat?' gasped the judge, twist
