Fruit Growers Protest

+ The members of the board of equali-
zation for Berkeley county, composed
of Mr.. Jacob Sites, Mr. j. w. k. Stew
art Strong and Mr.. j. r.. Catrow, held
the most important sesoion today since
the appointment of that body, when
they took up the question OF the assess
ment OF the orchard land lying bet tween
this city and the Frederick county line.
The entire session this morning was
devoted 10 hear lhe protests ofthe fruit
growers of the county against the
greatly increaed valuation of the or
chard land placed by Assessor Will
liams. There were present about 25 or
80 Of the most prominent fruit growers
IN the county, who registered with the
board their mcst emphatic protest
against the proposed increase IN valu-
alton.
Tins far about dozen orchards in
the southern section of this county
have been assessed, and it is stated
that the valuation placed upon them
ranges from Sl75 10 5000 peracre, which
is from four 10 i've times as much as
the valuation placed upon the farming
lands.
The fruit growers are up in arms
against this increased vauluation, and
claim that it Is a discrimination
against that class of industry in the
county. They point out that many of
the orchards assessed at this figure are
yet in their infancy and that it will
take many years before they become
source of revenue to the fruit growers,
while in the meantime they will be
compelled to bear the burden of taxes
upon property from which they receive
no benefit.
Statements along this line were
made by practically all the fruit grow
ers evidently had weight with the
members of the board of equalization,
and there is no doubt that this matter
viii receive the most serious consider
alton. This afternoon the members of
the board are taking up the question
of the valuation of the different lands
in the county, and will take up the
work of review as speedily as possible.

Spared Much Pain.
In every ones life there comes the
work OF having to comb or disentangle
the hair of woman who has been
sick. 1t Is not an easy task. It re-
quires patience and good deal Of
knowledge. Those who have never
done the work may be glad 10 stow
away In their memory these facts:
That knots in hair should always be
disentangled from below. not above.
In smoothing and combing a sick
persons hair the first work Is TO part

The hair should be separated by the
comb into small divisions. one a. a

HIS LEFT ARM CRUSHED
CasSan Illley Suffers Injuries While
on Wheat ThreShcr.

Mr.. Cassan Tilley, who lives
near Bahama, came near losing
his life last Saturday, and friends
standing by wonder how he got
off so lightly with such a close
shave.
Mr.. Tilley owns threshing
machine and it was while at
work on the farm Of Col. B.
Cameron that he attempted to
adjust a belt, when he was
caught by the belt and whirled
over the wheel before those near
realized what was happening.
The result was that his left arm
was broken in two places, and
he was otherwise bruised.
DR.. Joe Grahom was phoned
for and went out and brought
Mr.. Tilley to the city in his auto
mobile. He was carried to
Watts hospital, where he was
given attention.
Mr.. Tilley is we'll known in
the Northern part of the county
and is highly respected by all
that known him. He has a large
family connection, also that
join in hoping that he may not
lose his arm.

Making Good.

There Is no way OF making lnsttn0
friends like wMaking Good;p and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds OF thousands. They have
amade good" and they have not made
drunkards.
A good. honest, square-deal medicine of
known composition Is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most of the prepara-
tions that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of Its popularity have
"gone by the board and are never more
heard OF. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores Of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness. foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility. nothing Is so good as DR..
