TAX EXECUTIONS.

The list of items advertised by the
sheriff for sale on salesday in August
is unusually long this year; but the in
creased length of the list does not in
dicate any more distress than is COM
mon.
AS a matter of fact it is doubtful
as to whether there Is a case Of actual
distress behind a single one Of the long
list of sales advertised for the iirst
Monday in August.
While IN some cases, the land offer
ed is allowed 10 go to sale because OF
the carelessness of the owner, or in
ability to pay taxes, penalties and
cost in other cases, the sale is allowed
to take place in order to clear up some
defect in title, and in other cases the
nominal owner is not concerned fol
the reason that the property has prac-
tically passed out Of his hands any
way.
For instance, in this list there are
two or three pieces of property that
are mortgaged for their full value
The nominal owner understands that
he will receive nothing after foreclos.
ure proceedings. The holder of the
mortgage understands that to fore
close in the usual way will cost any
where from $50 to 500 in attorneys
fees, referee fees, clerks fees, adver-
tising, etc, and by mutual agreement
between the holder of the mortgage
and the holder of the title, the land is
allowed to go to sale at the hands OF
the sheriff with the understanding that
the holder of the mortgage buy it in or
basis of taxes, penalties and costs
and get his title practically for moth
ing.
In some cases the holder of the title
realizing that his interest Is practical
ly wiped up, has abandoned the prop
erty to be disposed of any old way;
he does not care how.

TO CLEAN OUT THE STREAMS.

In another column, Mr.. Thos. w.
Boyd, the county supervisor, calls at
tention to the law that requires prop
erty owners Of York county during the
month of August, to clear streams
running through their lands, Of trash,
RATS, timber, etc.
This law has been on the statute
books for about fifteen years, was put
there originally through the efforts OF
the late r. NJ Carroll, when that gen.
tleman was a member Of the general
assembly.
Recognizing the fact that most of
the streams of the county had been
gradually filling up for years and that
thousands of acres Of heretofore good
bottom lands had been destroyed, the
statute was enacted on the theory that
if streams were cleared Of such OBJ
structions as operated to check the
free flow of water in its proper chan
nels, the water would do the rest and
cut channels deep enough to afford
proper drainage
1t has been the custom Of the county
board of commissioners to call atten-
tion to this law each year, and a great
many people in different parts Of the
county have been doing their best to
| live up to the laws requirements,
while others have paid no attention to
it.
The law known as the present road
law, which created the office of town.
ship supervisor, makes 1t the duty of
these township supervisors to see that
the provisions Of the drainage law are
properly complied with.

Columbia, July 20.

Columbia State, Thursday: Two
packages Of currency, containing over
$500, shipped to Boykin station, which
is ten miles below Camden on the
Southern railway, were stolen Tues
day from the Office Of the Southern
Express company at that place. The
money was sent to pay off the guards
at the state farm. D. ]. Griffith, the
superintendent Of the state penitentia-
ry, yesterday confirmed the rumor.
Detectives of the Southern Express
company spent yesterday at Boykin
but no arrests have been made yet.
According to a dispatch from Cam
den, E. F. Ballard, the depot and Ex-
press agent, received the money on the
northbound train shortly after noon on
Tuesday. He said that several farm
laborers were the only persons to see
him get the package. At 2 o'clock Mr..
Ballard went to dinner at the home
of Henry Boykins, about one-half mile
from the station. He left the money
in his coat, as he had no safe to nut
it in. Upon his return to the station
he missed the money and Immediately
telegraphed the express officials In
Charlotte and Columbia. Detective
Smyrl went to Boykin from Camden,
Messrs. Coley, York, Sadler and 9TH
er officials Of the Southern Express
company have been sent to Boykin,
investigating the robbery. No infor-
nation as to the robbery could be OBJ
tained from local Southern Express
company officials.

Crops have been growing beautiful

The population of York county is
47,71S. This is according to the CEN
sus Of 1910.
The crop situation in the neigh
borhod of Kings Creek and Smyrna
is very good, and most of the people
in that vicinity are in fine spirits.
Why yes, let the Chester people fix
up their part of the north and south
road that now runs from Yorkville al
most to the Chester line. People from
Chester can do better buying goods in
Yorkville than people from York can
do buying goods in Chester. After
all, what Is wanted is a good road
straight from Chester to Gastonia.
The probate judge only gets 25
cents Of the dollar charged for a mar

school fund. 1t seems to us that the
school fund does not need this money;
that it should go to the probate judge.
A dollar is barely enough to pay the
probate judge for the work he has to
do in connection with the issuance of a
marriage license.

Don't anybody image because we
recently said Governor Blease was as
good a statesman as Senator Tillmar
that we are endorsing the governor
We don't endorse the official acts OF
either. We have no confidence in the
official acts of any man who ever had
anything TO do with the old state dis
pensary. 1t was conceived in sin and
born in iniquity and every man con-
nected with ii came off with the slime
of suspicion sticking to him. And B
r. Tillman was the daddy Of it. If we
can't beat Governor Blease next veal
with a clean, pure man who is tooth
and toe-nail against the whisky rims
we might as we'll go down in defeat
Blease is as good as any Of them, and
if we are to be governed by that ele'
ment we had just as soon it be Blease
as nybody.-Gaffney Ledger.
When we reproduced with approval
what the Ledger said originally, we
did not consider that an explanation
was necessary but here it is straight
from the shoulder. and clear enough
to be within the comprehension of the
most obtuse.

Of war, to enlist the aid of the gov

said w. w. Moore, adjutant general,
yesterday. Attention was called by the
adjutant general to a dispatch from

ed q circular letter to the governors
Of the various states Of the United

enactment by the California legisla-

ization Of companies and battalions OF

preston of the opinion Of this court
that a member of the bar in even a
single instance has fallen below the
ethical standards of the profession is
in itself serious penalty, and we
think none greater should be inflicted
i'm this instance" This Is the decision
of the supreme court Of South Carolina
i'm the case of Philip H. Gadsden, the
Charleston attorney who asked the
court to review his conduct with ref
erence to the Lawrence estate case.
The estate was valued at about $780,
900. The opinion is by Associate
Justice Woods and the case Is review
ed in full. The matter to be decided
by the court was whether Philip H.
Gadsden was guilty of such false rep
resentations or other misconduct in
procuring from Miss Mary Lawrence
an assignment of her interest in the
estate of Joseph S. Lawrence to Mrs.
F.. Charlotte Lawrence as would war
rant the court to strike him from the

penalty.
