Taxes For 1909.

The total amount of taxes in Lex
ington county amounts approximately
to 500, 900, of which the railroads and
other corporations pay about $4,000.
Now, up to tt is t me the treasurer has
collected about SIS, 900, or one-itth of
the total taxes. On the rounds
through the county, collections were
fairly good, and had the larger tax
payers paid, the teachers in the va
rious school districts could have gotten
their pay promptly rather than hold
their claims until said district paid in
sufficient funds to warrant the county
superintendent to approve the claims.
The trip on the part of the county
treasurer through the county should
be appreciated and tax payers should
be very prompt as it is optional with
him whether he makes the rounds or
not.

G. B. Comet. a lumberman at Made
line, on the Bennettsville and Cheraw
Railroad, was brutally slain yesterday
morning by three negroes, Tom Har-
rington, Will Harrington and Ed
Davis. It seems that Mr.. Conner sus-
pected Ed Davis of having stolen, and
when he went to make an investiga-
tion, the three negroes, who came
from North Carolina, attacked him,
knocked him down and then shot him
twice in the top of the head with
pistol. The negroes escaped. Ed De-
Wis was shot in the shoulder, it is said.
MIR. Conner leaves a wife and three
children. He came to this coun ty
some months ago from Wilmot's, N. c.,
and was we'll thought of by those who
knew him. His body was inferred in
Oakridge Cemetery this afternoon.

An Appeal For Better Roads.

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Knowing as do, your advocacy Of
"good roads", and the great advant-
ages of the rural system of distribut-
ing the mails daily to the good people
of Lexington as we'll as the whole
country, Iwould like to make few
needed suggestions to our rural citi-
zens. not only in Lexington, but the
whole state and country interested.
Gentlemen make roads, that it is pos
sible for your carriers to make their
daily visits to your homes with ease
and comfort, whether on horseback,
buggy o. automobile. He travels the
road daily 30e days every year, per-
haps you travel them once. Many
routes are being discontinued because
of the negligence of the patrons to
make and keep the roads in a passable
condition, and not for want of pat
ronage. It was my pleasure to 60
over route 1, from Steedman through
the Black creek and Edisto section of
the county, and I must say, in the
the IS mile route, with more than Is
delivery boxes, supplying more than
three hundred patrons with mail, not
more than ten miles Of the road was
fit to travel with a horse and buggy,
much less an automobile. Twenty
five miles was holes, bitches, stun:ps,
roots, overhanging trees and various
other obstacles too numerous to men,
ton. While travelling through this
garden spot of Lexington county
noticed with delight the finest fields
of corn, cotton and other field pro-
ducts that I ever saw grown in Lex
ington county. Many farmers are
making 80 to so bushels of corn per
acre and more than bale of cotton
per acre. On the same sand hill land
thirty-tive or forty years ago, where
carried the mails through that country
from Lexington, Clark's Mills, Reed
er's Store, Beaver Pond, Rishes Store
and Steedman, a good farm was
scarcely seen. Rafting timber and
lumber on the Edisto to Charleston
was the chief industry, there being
no railroads through that country.
Now since the railroads have come
and the turpentlne industry, nearly or
quite all the timber has disappeared,
and the only relief is farming, which
pays.
Work the rords, gentlemen, and
don't block the wheels of progress
in your beautiful and prosperous
county, as consider the rural mail
delivery one of the greatest gifts our
national congress has ever given to
our people, as it puts every section
of the country in close communion
with the world. J. z. H

GIVES $675 in CASH
IN PLACE OF PEPPERCORN

Miss Anna T. Navison, of South
Eleventh street, has cleared the title
on her land, consisting of three lots, at
South Eleventh and Orange streets,

accomplished the object of a chancery
suit brought by Theophile Well, OF
Brooklyn. who was unable to get a loar

teenth century for a sum of money and

The peppersorn was never paid and the
trust company, from whom We'll sought
to secure a loan, declined to take the
risk. saying thta the title was vested

AUTHOR
PUBLISHES BOOK
ON CATHOL|C|TY
History of St. Johns Church."
by Paul V. Flynn, a
Scholarly Work.

Paul V. Flynn. of Newark, has just
issued his book entitled 1.-THE History
of st. Johns Church." The title, how
ever, is not as comprehensive as the
text. The work is really a history OF
Catholicity in Newark. The book is
pleasing in appearance, the printing is
of the best and the cuts, showing many
views heretofore unpublished, are
products of the highest effort In the
printing art.
History, as a rule, is not very inter-
esting. but Mr.. Flynn's has proven 81
exception and has supplied useful in
formation in a style both pleasing and
entertaining. The theme, of course
centres around st. Johns Church, the
Oldest edifice in the diocese. but little
of interest to Catholic circles has been
omitted. There are many interesting
features in the book. In the opinion of
the author the greatest Of these is the
letter published for the first time Of the
late Right Rev. M%cnsignor George H.
Doane to the late Right Rev. James
Roosevelt Bayley, explaining the rea-
sons for the conversion of the former
to the Catholic faith.
Mr.. Flynn has produced q book that
will cali for little criticism and much
praise. He has treated his subject
carefully and thoroughly, and is to be
commended for giving an exhaustive
and clear view of local Catholicity, told
in a graceful and pleasing manner.

TRIES SUICIDE
AFTER NIGHT OF
DRUNKEN FRENZY

Crazed by drink and in a respondent
mood, Edward Teasey. u a old, of
100h Chapel street, attempted to COM
init suicide at his home today by
drinking iodine. He has been out OF
work several months, and his only
child, an infant of 8 months, was sick.
Teasey came home yesterday in an
intoxicated condition and caused his
wife to flee from her apartments and
seek shelter with Mrs. Alice Miller, who
lives on the floor above. Last night
when Mrs. Teasey attempted to go to
her rooms he refused to allow her 70
enter, and she vas compelled to spend
the night with Mrs. Miller.
His a for locking his wife out
could not be ascertained, only that In
his drunken frenzy he wished to be
alone.
This morning Mrs. Miller came to his
door and asked to be admitted. The
begged the woman to get him fifteen
cents worth of whiskey. When he had
procured it he turned to Mrs. Miller
and bade her good-by. saying that was
the last she would see him alive.
Leaving his rooms, Mrs. Miller was
again called to the floor below, when
she heard Teasey moaning and rolling
about on the porch.
An almost empty bottle of iodine lay
on the table. $
At the st. James Hospital, to which
the man was conveyed, no definite
statement as to his condition could be
given.

that the work of the organization should
be largely educational, and that the
Board of Health should deal practically
with the matter. He believed that the
educational committee could do excel
lent work.

pectoration in streets land the winds

Some time ago, he said, the Board of
Health caused three or four arrests.
Those arrested were fined and for a
time conditions were not so bad. To-day

Orange Mans Talk.
Health Officer Selskar NJ. Gum, OF
Orange, who acted as secretary of
a recent meeting of health Off
GERS of the county, offered many
valuable suggestions. He said that
segregation was absolutely neces-
sary, and that people in the advanced
stages of tuberculosis would ave to be
removed from danger. 1.-THE necessity
for a hospital Is apparent" he said,
"as tuberculosis goes hand in hand with
housing conditions" The speaker said
that theoretically the Board Of Health
should handle the question in its en-
tirety, hiring nurses to visit the people
in homes, etc, but that the public has
not realized the necessity of making
necessary appropriations" The distri-
button of literature was earnestly advo-
Gated by Health Officer Gum, also the
giving of free lectures and the instruc-
tion Of children in the of clean
and sane living, the instruction to start
in the lowest grades.
DR.. william H. Vail urged that the
question of infection be not magnifed
too much, in many cases tuberculosis
resulting from malnutrition. "All
clothes worm" he said, should in the
essential features be porous
DR.. George J. Holmes told of various
manners of contracting the disease and
deplorable conditions which exist in the
home. 1--WE have on one principal cor
ner in the city q most unsanitary
drinking fountain. One can see a line
composed of well people, Ill people,
rich and poor alike drinking out of the
same cup"
William T. Hunt, a newspaper editor,
favored the adoption of a county sys-
tenn in fighting the disease.
Former Governor Murphy said that
the county system was probably bet
ter than any city system. He was sure
the committees appointed would get
together shortly to form plans for car
rying out some practical work.
