The County Commissioners have
struck the levy for 1910 at 50 cents on
the one hundred dollars, the same as
last year. The State tax is Is cents,
making the combined tax on property
96 cents. The Commissioners did not
include the amount it is claimed is owing
the School Board, in the levy. holding
that the amount levied for school purpose
should have been sufficient to meet all
the requirements Of the public schools
of Worcester County, and declaring
that they want the matter tried in the
Circuit Court. The only question set
tied by the Court of Appeals was that
the law is Constitutional. Other ques-
tons were ordered to be settled by our
Circuit Court.
From present indications there will
be peaches for everybody this year. The
dreaded June drop has been very light
and the trees all over the State are
heavily laden with fruit. This condition
also exists on the Eastern Shore OF
Virginia. This means that there will
be enough peaches for everybody that
is, peaches plentiful and cheap enough
to be within the reach of everybody.
The prospect of large peach crop on
the Eastern Shore is gladstone news to
the people of this section. for they had
begun to believe that the fruit was a
lost luxury. Unfortunately for the
Eastern Shore, the expected crops have
been failures for so many years whole
orchards have been chopped down and
the land devoted to other crops.

Mr. 0. NJ. Jones Had a Mar.
row Escape.

Mr.. o. NJ. Jones. of Chincoteague
Island, and four other men had mar
row escape from a watery grave last
Friday off Block Island, X. l., when the
gasoline steamer. "Gladys" belonging
to Captain Charley Babbitt, caught on
fire and was burned.
Captain Babbitt and crew of the
Gladys went to the New England coast
some weeks ago to engage in fishing for
mackerel. MIR. Jones was Captain
Rabbits man of business. keeping his
books. attending to sales. etc. Cap
tain Rabbit was taken sick recently
and was compelled to go to a hospital.
He placed Mr.. Jones in command of the
boat and in complete charge Of his af-
fairs.
Last Friday Mr.. Jones took his boat
out to the fishing grounds about twenty
miles from shore. Arriving on the fish
ing grounds, he ordered one of the men
to go to the engine room and stop the
engine. The man returned Immediately
and reported that the engine room was
ablaze and the flames were devouring
everything before them. The Gladys
was provided with only a small dory
which was in tow. The boat was pulled
along side and the five men all got into
her. having TO be very careful not TO
sink her with their weight. They got
away from the burning boat as fast as
they could and when a few miles away
from her they heard her gasoline tanks
explode with terrific noise and saw
the Gladys go to the bottom. Mr.. Jones
and his crew finally managed to reach
laud.
They lost all their clothing and every
thing of value they had on the boat.
The Gladys cost $4,000 and was in
sured for only $4,000. She was burned
at her wharf at Chincoteague about two
years ago. The origin of the fire then
being acknowledged to be the work of
an incendiary.

which he could obtain sufficient material
with which to run his factory, Mr.. Miller

4 Delicate and Successful Operation.

Last week Doctors Chenoweth and Purdy performed upon the person of Herbert Chatham a very delicate operation which has prov ed very successful, as the lad is now convalescing rapidly.

The abdomen was opened by the doctors, and the perforation eliminated. The boy has recovered from the shock fine ly, and is or the way to complete recovery.
