The following statement APP,
pezxs in the news columns of the
Times-Dispatch OF Feb 9th.
The worst offender against the
law requiring the assessment ot
lands fer taxation at their tul
value appears to be Mathews
,oOenty. where the rate of assess.
'iDent IS Is per cent Of the marke;
value. Lands in that county
which were sold for SAC, 900 were
assessed a, $6.736."
Somebody has made a mistake.
while we admit that the assess
iment of lands here is in many
cases too little yet we are not
prepared to accept the statement
hat they are assessed at only Il
lPsr cent OF their full value.
There are in Mathews comfy
IN round numbers $4,000 acres of
land which are assessed at $780,
'o1o. making an average valuation
per acre of between FIVE and six
dollars. There are many acres
e-of swamp land included in the
otal which are of no value and
are assessed at 50 cents per acre.
This OF course cuts down the av-
serage greatly but evan then the
average assessed value of the
Hands in this county IS very nearly
equal to that of counties whose
Hands are really much more val
liable.
nfK n we consider this average
g .snnent OF $s.47 per acre to be
NY Is per cent of the real value
.sSf our lands, the real average
>vaiue would have to be about
1000 per acre. This of course
will nPt bring. and so is not
prth it.
We ar informed that the in
NATION upon which the state
- irsthe Times-Dispatch was
tde out stated that the
assessment IN the county
90 per acre which proba-
counts for the mistake. The
les upon which this caIcu-
were based could not give
stimate as to the value of
be average land as those sold
ere choice farms luying upon
water front and worth three
8timesSas much as the majority of
1.-THE inland property.
Since the Dispatch has given
Isns this very undesirable adver-
tisment. we trust that it will cor
ssect the mistake in an equally
Appointment way. We are rather
nrprised that our Representatives
the Legislature nave taken no
iotice Of this matter.

PRELIMINARY
HEARING HELD
Guadarama Boys Are Being
Examined on a Murder
CHARGE.

Las Cruces. n. NJ, Feb. 18.-Thurs-
day afternoon at o'clock in justice
of the peace Manuel Lopez's court was
begun the preliminary hearing OF jose
Guadarama and his brother, DaVl1
Guadarama, charged with the murde1
Of Ygnacio Pena on the night OF Feb
ruary 5th, at Anthony.
There had been a dance at Anthony
on this night Young Pena left home
to attend and as he failed to appear az
home the next morning and as his
horse came home riderless. an app-e-
hension of fear seized the parents,
who instituted a search. They found
evidences of a scuffle near the tanks
of the Rio Grande, with blood on the
ground and hair which was identified
as that of young Pena. also a. sweat
band and some paper which his moth
er identified as being the paper she
had seen her son place in his har 10
make it smaller. Footprints leading
into the river were also discovered.
They were sure that their son had
been fouly dealt with and thrown into
the swirling torrent of the muddy
stream and when this conclusion was
reached the question arose, Who did
the deed?'
After considerable investigation on
the part Of the local officials and
sheriff Felipe Lucero, the two orcth-
ers. Jose and David Guadarama, were
arrested and placed in jail at as
Cruces under the charge of murler,
and a search instituted for the re-
covery of the body of young Pena,
which is opposed TO be in the river.
The search so far has been without
avail.
The main feature of todays testi-
mony for the prosecution was the tes-
timony of shediff Lucero.
Attorney Mark B. Thompson has
been retained by Epimano Pena, father
of the missing son, to assist district at
torney N. o. Llewellyn in the prose-
cution. Bonham & Oliver and E. c.
Wade are representing the defence.

Helpful Hints on
Hair Health
Scalp and Hair Troubles
Generally Caused By
CarelessnesS.

Dandruff IS a contagious disease
caused by a micrObe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use comb or
brush belonging TO some one else. No
matter how Clearly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
1t is far easier to catch hair microbes
than il is to get rid Of them, and a
single stroke of an infected cemb or
brush may well lead to badness. Never
try on anybody else's hat. Many hat
band is resting place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair OF
badness, we have a remedy which we
believe will completely relieve these
troubles. We are so sure of this that
We offer it to you with the understand
ing that 1T will cost you nothing for the
trial If it does not produce the results
we claim This remedy is called ReXal
'93' Hair Tonic. We honestly be-
aieve it to be the most scientific remedy
for scalp and hair troubles and VIE
know of nothing else that equals 1t for
effectiveness, because of the results 1t
has produced IN thousands of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to
Danish dandruff, restore natural color
when its loss has been brought about
by disease, and make the hair naturally
silky, soft and glossy. 1t does this
because i stimulates the hair folNcles,
destroys the germ matter, and brings
about free, healthy circulation OF
blood, which nourishes the hair roots,
causing them to tighten and grow new
hair. We want everybody who has any
trouble with hair or scalp to know that
RexaH "93" Hair Tonic is the best hair
tonic and restorative in existence, and
no one should scott at or doubt this
statement until they have put our
claims to a fair test, with the under
standing that they pay us nothing for
the remedy if it does not give full and
complete satisfaction in every particu-
lar. Two sizes, so cents and s1.00. Re
