PERCY LAWRENCE WINS
AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
Ia Bitter Fight with National Turner Riders, Cali

KA ERCY LAWRENCE, of San Francisco, Cal, is the
- new amateur national champion. He won the
d honor last night at the Velodrome under eircum-
stances that he will not forget for a long time. He not
only had to ride a hard race, but he was compelled to
keep mis- eyes and wits ready for a combination of riders
who were trying to pocket him in the semi-hnals. The
coast boy had to work for all that was in him, and but
for the fact that he outwitted Owens and Courtney Peer
in the semi-fnal his title would have been mix for him
today. There was a sad ending to the final, however,
from the fact that Jake Magin, his nearest rival, was
thrown from the track, taking Joe Passenger and Owens
with him in the final. Jake was carried off the track to
the clubhouse and later to his home, where he has con-
cussion of the brain. After all the trouble that Percy

DAVID BRADHAM's SUCCESS.

It is with much pleasure we
note in The Arkansas Gazette of
April 16 the prominent position
Major David A. Bradham, a Clar-
endon boy is taking in the Ar
kansas Legislature. He is the au-
thor of a bill creating a State Tax
Commission which after consld-
cradle debate led by Mr.. Brad
ham, passed by vote of 81 to II.
The following is the newspaper
account of the proceedings:
Tax Commission Bill Up.
House Bill No. 3l3 (Bradham and
Smith creating a State Tax Commls-
sion and revising the revenue and taX-
alton system of the state, was read the
third time. Mr.. Bradham spoke IN IA
vor of his bill. he first referred TO the
fact that the bill had been given care
full consideration before the Judiciary
Committee and that subcommittee had
prepared many amendments which had
been adopted and which, to an extent,
made the bill a commitaee measure. he
stated that he had drawn the bill alter
examining the laws of many states, pick
ing out the best parts OF the different
laws. In this connection he stated that
the Alabama law had proven the most
successful. He urged that the law would
not provide for an increase IN taxes, out
that it would eeualize the taxes over
the state and also get property on the
tax books which has never been there
before. He referred to the present man
ner of assessing railroads in Arkansas
and called attention to the inability OF
the board, composed OF state officers, to
properly attend to the matter. He urg-
ed that every me should bear his bur
ben of taxation. lie also stated that the
next legislature could rectify any errors
that might be found in the bill as the
result of two years operation, and also
stated that that assembly might, II 1t
saw fit, provide that the commissioners
be elected instead of appointed.

HOME MISSIONS.
MANNING AUXILIARY

It was our good fortune and pleasure
to be present at the time of the organ
ization of TWO Woman's Home Mission
societies on the judah circait last Sun
day, 18th inst.
Mrs. D. N. Browne, secretary Of
Kingstree district. was given the
preaching hours by the pastor Rev. NJ.
Godbold. She talked in the meaning Of
nissions-saved to serve, obedience and
sacrifice the great key note. The differ
ent departments of Home Mission work
was. presented clearly, forcibly and in
such way that we were made TO Won
der more than ever how anybody in
Christian America can neglect uniting
with an organization for the betterment
of mankind. and such D one so signally
blessed of God as is the Woman's Home
Mission society of the Methodist church.
We love the Foreign Missionary So
ciety. one as the hand clasp of the 9TH
er, but we can adopt the expression in
substance of one of our bishops, begin
at Jerusalem and daylight will appear
clear through to the uttermosJ parts Of
the earth. Eighteen adults and eleven
children were enrolled as mem bers at
Union church. A good begioning of we
hope larger membership and great re-
suits in this work for our Lord.
At Oak Grove 10 adults and chill
dren were enrolled with the like inter-
est manifested at Union. The officers
elected are anxious to learn of the work
and we doubt of two more effective So
cieties in the work. We must not fail
to express our appreciation of the de-
lightful entertainment of Mrs. Browne
and myself at the Christian hospitable
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Coskrev.
May the Holy Spirit eve.. abide in this
home. S. M. SPROTT.

Scottish Caution.

Certainly the cautious Scot spirit
pervaded.the opinions Of the Scottish
architect who was called upon to erect
q building IN England upon the. long
lease system, so common with Angn-
can proprietors, but quite new TO our
friend. When he found the proposal
was to build upon the tenure Of 900
years be quietly suggested: could ye

and ninety-nine years II be slippin'

But Of all the cautious ana careful
answers we ever heard Of was one
given by carp enter to an old lady in
Glasgow, for whom he was working,
and the anecdote IS well authenticate
ed. She had offered him dram and
asked him whether he would have it
then or wait till his work was done.
Indeed, men, be said, there's been

To Help South Carolina.

Spokane, Washington, May II.
Governor Martin F. Ansel an
nounces in a letter to R. Insinger,
chairman of the board of control
Of the National irregation con.
gress, that he has appointed the
following committee to confer
with the organization on how to
make the seventeenth sessions in
Spokane the second week in Aug
ust of the greatest benefit to
South Carolina:
E. J. Wilson, commissioner Of
agriculture, commerce and indus
tries, Columbia; F. Fl. Hyatt,
president of the Good Road As
soclation, Columbia; D. T. Moore,
Brunson; J. A. Harvey, Pinopo'
lis; and Samuel G.. Stony, Char
lesion.
Governor Ansel adds in his let
ter that the members Of his spec
ial commission are interested in
drainage, which is one of the OBJ.
jects Of the congress, in addition
to which the speakers and dele
gates will also discuss problems
ofirregation, forestry, goodroads
and home building.
It may be Of interest to the peo'
pie of South Carolina, who were
the first to start a movement to
have the congress of 1910 IN a
southern city. preferably one in
South Carolina, that Pueblo:
Colo, will send a special train
with delegates to capture the
eighteenth congress for that city.
There are reports that efforts will
be made to have the congress in
an eastern city next year.
Professor Liberty Hyde Bailey,
director of the agricultural col
iege of Cornell university: who
was head Of President Roosevelt's
farm life commission last fall, is
heartily in favor of taking the
congress to a city east Of the
Rocky mountains in 1910.

LEVER IS ALRIGHT.

The Columbia, State cannot IN
gratiate itself in public confidence
by making personal illusions by
way OF retort, When another news
paper respectfully comments on
it's attitude towards a congress
man who has been doing, and con-
tinues to do good and faithful
service for tKose whose commls-
sion he bears. Congressman Lev
er voted for a tariff on lumber,
this was not as dictated by a pa
per writing called a platform, but
it was dictated by an honest,
sensible business judgment,
which in our opinion comes near
er carrying out the wishes of the
people than does platform made
by a few politicians who have no
idea Of practical business meth
DDS; the platform made by these
politicians has no other pur-
pose than to serve as a text Tor
for political harangues and IN
trigues.
Senator 'rillman is an orthodox
party man but he realizes as does
every sensible man that party
platform cannot apply where or
dinary business Judgment shows
to the contrary, hence his advo-
cacy of a duty on tea.
Congressman Lever can go be-.
fore the people of his State, es-
pecially those of his district and
his vote on lumber, as well as the
vast amount of work he has done
for South Carolina will be most
heartily endorsed.

The 0vS&er Crab.

Some of the most remarkable crabs
In the world live at the expense Of
other animals. They are crustacean
tramps and have no shame in sustain
ing existence at other animals cost.
One Of these marine tranps is little
tellow that makes its home with the
living oyster. In fact, 1t dwells in the
oysters shell and feeds on whatever
Is left over from the molHsk;s dinners.
Oddly enough, however. it IS only the
female. that has this habit Of board
ing out" The male crab has no per-
nanent home, but spends its time
swimming about at the surface Of the
water. Oyster crabs sometimes are
big enough to have an arm stretch Of
40 inch. Epicures consider them very
good to eat. Sometimes they are COOK
ed separately, and occasionally they
are picked. Crabs Of nearly allied spe-
ctes, somewhat bigger, are found tn
the shells Of mrssels and seanops, u

PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS.

The matter of publishing tax
returns is being advocated by the
Mayor of Anderson, as cure
for tax.dodging. We do not be-
lieve publicity in the matter Of
tax returns will be near as efec-
tive as the creation of the Office
Of a tax assessor, who shall go
upon the pronerty and fix the
valuation for taxation. There is
no doubt of the need of something
to put property on the books
fairly, as it IS, many persons are
aided in their tax lodging by the
cum bersome tax laws upon our
statute books, and when an effort
IS made in the legislature to re-
form our tax laws it meets with
such strong opposition it cannot
get through.
Comptroller General Jones has
time and again recommended
schemes to give US a better tax
ingsystem but he could never sue
ceed in getting them enacted into
Law. The legislature is made up
principally of lawyers and large
land owners, the former thrive
on the laws when they are co NJ
plicated, the latter are always on
the watch out to protect them.
selves from paying an equitable
proportion Of the taxes to sup.
port the government. The result
is the laws are so contradictory
few laymen can understand them,
and the scheme of assessing prop.
erty is so arranged that the man
with little pays full, while the
man with much pays but small
percentage. The farmer who
owns a. tract of land worth $40
per acre pays on the same valua
tiou as the one who owns land
worth $50 per acre. The mechan-
ic is required to return for taxa
tion the tools and implements of
his trade, yet the man with mon
ey gets of with no taxation. The
whole scheme needs uprooting.
but we do not believe publishing
the tax returns will accomplish
results.

in Senator Tillman dining and

fact that under the former Pres

which precluded South Carolina's
