OUR NEW COMMISSIONER.
Charles c. Caperton Becomes Mem
Der of Board Tomorrow.

The only change in the personnel
of the County Commissioners is the
addition of Charles c. Caperton,
Commissioners Joseph E. Stevens be-
ing a h%oldover, and j.. C. Wheeler
having been elected to succeed him
self. Mr.. Caperton makes his initial
bow in public life when he assumes
his office tomorrow.
Mr.. Caperton Is a gentleman well
known in the district where he has
resided for the past five years. His
business for many years past has
been that of mining and milling. He
came here from Durango, Colorado,
where he had followed the pursuit of
mining. Previously he had been en-
gagged in mining in Old Mexico and
California, and before visiting the
latter state he had put up a 160
stamp mill in Dahlonega. Georgia.
The new commissioner has taken
the greatest interest in public affairs
since his residence in the county, al
though never before having evinced
any inclination for public life. In
becoming a candidate for the office
to which he was elected he yielded
to the demands of his many friends
rather than through any dictation of
mis- own desires; but once he got
into the fight he threw all his energy
and vim into the campaign and the
result OF the election showed that
the people wanted him as their rep
resentative in handling the affairs of
the county for the next four years, he
having been elected for the long
term.
Mr.. Caperton is one or the most
progressive citizens in the county
and can be relied upon to act in con-
cert with his colleagues in %prosecut-
ing the good work of the Board
which has marked the progress of
the past two years. He is a man of
ideas, and a man with a mind of his
own, and the people of White Pine
will find that they have made no mis-
take in electing him to his important
position.

year which is just closing.
considerable work was done in
1910 on the county roads, and there
is no doubt that the roads are in
much better condition than ever be-
fore. This work can be carried on
with good effect the coming year for
the reason that the poll tax will be
given to the county instead of being
divided with the state as has been
the case heretofore. Ia addition to
this the people are fortunate in hav-

people at the last election voted for
the constitutional amendment, giving
all the poll tax collected to the coun-
ties instead of dividing 1t with the
Estate.
The board also furnished the in

which are a credit to the county at
large. They also built the school
house at MeGill, and this without
cost to the county. The Steptoe
smelter advanced the money, taking
bonds for the loan, and they are
practically paying the interest on the
bonds, the money coming from that
school district. OF the bonds, $4,000
were retired at the close of the year.
When the bonds are all retired the

commissioners, and not the most
agreeable one. is the sitting of the
board as a board of equalization.

The county commissioners went
through this trying ordeal. and if
there were any dissensions upon the
part of the property owners they
were heard, everybody being ap-
parently satisfied with the rulings of
the board of equalization.
Without a doubt, the board as it
Is now constituted will keep up the
good work, and will mark out for
itself new lines of endeavor in the
interests of the people and the coun-
ty in general. II is hardly possible
that the taxes will be lower this
year than last. bur il will be the aim
of the board to keep IL down to the
present rate. In this respect. Mr..
Stevens, chairman of the old board,
said:
There Is hardly a chance for the
tax rate TO be lowered this year, and
the reason for this is the big re-
.duetion which was made in taxes two
years ago. The rate in 1910 was 25
cents lower than in 1903. and this
entailed pretty close sailing TO the
wind. IL is my impression. however,
that the rate for the coming year

wise selection and one in which there
will be no regret. Mr.. Watson
made one of the most earnes fights
in. the campaign. He wanted that
position from the stand point of an
engineer, and the interest which in
his heart he has for the county in
the maintenance of good roads.
The new supervisor has been in
the county for the past four years,
and has always given his attention
in a modest way to public affairs, but
has never sought public life. He
has been a mining and civil engineer
for many years, and his latter capac-
ity fits hin exactly for the position
the people have called upon him to
occupy.

BRIEF REVIEW Of WORK Of
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Much Has Been Accomplished During The Past
Two Years By The Board That Meets With Ap-
prOval From Taxpayers of the County.

The new county commissioners
take their Office tomorrow, but there
will be no business transacted on
account of the day being a national
holiday. The two newly elected
commissioners, Messrs J. c. Wheeler
and Charles c. Caperton, will be in
Quoted into Office and the board will
adjourn until Tuesday. The only
real new member of the board is Mr..
Caperton. Mr.. Wheeler having been
reelected and Mr.. Stevens being a
holdover.
A review of the work of the county
commissioners during the past two
years Is commendatory Of the board,
and Is worth while to the taxpayers
in passing. Considerable work was
done by the board, and that IT was
satisfactory TO the public is evidene-
ed by the fact that Mr.. Wheeler came
before the people for their SURFACES
in last November and was reelected
upon his record, and that of his col
leagues.
One of the most striking pieces of
work accomplished by the board was
the identifying of the grounds sur
rounding the court house. transform
ing a desert of rocks and waste into
a beautiful lawn, which Is one OF the
striking features in Ely TO the
stranger who visits the district for
the first time. II is a very beautiful
and gratifying sight 10 the county,
this oasis in the desert. this garden
in the wilderness. The entire cost
of the lawn figures less than three
quarters OF a cent taxation on the
hundred dollars assessment Of the
taxpayers. And this cost includes
more than is In sight. In addition TO
the lawn which spreads out in front
OF the courthouse, the preliminary
earthwork has been done on the east
side. considerable OF the mains laid
there. and the remainder of the pipe
for this section of the lawn is on
hand and has been paid for.
Considerable money was expended
on the county roads during the in
%cumbeney of the board, and as a
result the roads are now In better
shape than ever before. This
character of work is appreciated by
everyone in the county. More work
in this line will be accomplished the
coming year for the reason that the

Dtease In the Saddle.

A dispatch from Columbia says II
anything could be considered as as
tontsh!ng under the present admin
istration, the situation in regad to
the Office of county commissioner In
Florence county would fall in that
category, but nothing is surprising,
or ought to be. The Florence dele
gaticn, after spending long hours OF
discussion and weighing all matters
relative to the Office, finally sent the
name Of Mr.. Chas. W. DuEose to the
governor for appointment. The ap-
pointmants was made and the secre-
tary Of State notified him and re-
quested the return or his oath of
office; The governor suddenly or
ders the secretary Of State to hold
up on the matter and to instruct Mr..
DuBose to take no further steps to-
wards qualifying, as he had another
name In view. If the Governor has
determined to look after. all these
little appointments himself, he has
certainly, cut out big job for HIM
self. FIut no other way could be
devised by which he could appoint
none but those who voted for him
to office, and we suppose that Is the
reason he he's adopted 1t. . Governor
Blease Is in the saddle, and he be-
lieves TO the victors belong the
sroils.

Tuesday and which awaits only the
confirmation Of the senate to be-
come effective. The Canadian pact
has bcens frequently spoken of as
marking the beginning Of the end of
high protective tariff. And: this is
true, because that agreement offers a
definite opportunity for free or lib
eral trade policies to justify them
selves through actual results.
The fna! vote in the house Tues
day is interesting and richly sug-
gestive. One hundred and forty
three Dem ocrats voted for the bill
and only five Democrats against 1T.
;seventy-eight serublicans voted fo:.
it and eighty-seven Republicans
against it. To whom, then, is credit
for the passage of this great meas
ure due? The progressive remnant
of the Republican party is to be con-
graduated upon the enlightened po-
sition it assumed and President Taft
has already earned the praise of the
whole nation for the loroad-mlnded
and determined craftsmanship he
has shown. But 1t is simply stating 6
the record in the case to say that
the preponderating support OF Ca
madam reciprocity has come from the
Democrats.

Canadian Reciprocity.

The Canadian reciprocity bill, es-
tablishing freer trade relations be-
tween our country and the dominion,
has passed the house Of representa-
tives by vote of two hundred and
twenty-cne to ninety-two. In this,
there is cause not only for rejoicing
over present good. but also for sub
stantlal hope in even better things
to come, says the Atlanta Journal.
When our nation has fairly tasted
the fruits of reciprocity with Can
ada. when the sound principles Of
this agreement have been made clear
by their actual workings with our
great neighbor to the north, when
the people of the United States have
realized chat freer trade means
cheaper food and wider prosperity,
the day cf high tariff will have
reached it's end and the people will
insist uron liberal trade policy
with all the nations of the world.

the pending agreement with Canada,

The, Pace That Kills:

There have been many deaths at
\ ltributable to, hardening OF the ,ar
tteries In recent years, and the au
topgy shows, in such cases, tha
death was the direct tresult of the
bursting of an artery, generally one
in the brain. The walls of the: ar.
terles have become hard and brittle
and consequently less able to stand
severe pressure than in their nor.
NAL or youthful condition OF 1lexi.
bility, says The New Y York Press. The
pressure which thus breaks an ar.
terry is properly ascribed to the in
tensity of modern life, which every
day makes extraordinary demands
upon heart and circulation. The ar
teriese themselves become hard, not
from nervous strain, but from causes
well within the power of any one to
correct. f.,
Bad arteries always mean .imper-
fectly functioning kidneys, and the
two chief contributing causes Of the
kidneys are too much meat and not
enough fresh air. The increasing
frequency of sudden deaths should
bring home to every man who wants
to live long and healthy life the
great importance of helpful air; un-
contaminated air; air with vital oxy-
gen in it. Frequent. ventilation of
offices, open windows or open-air
sleeping at night, and as much OF
life as is possible spent in "God' S
good out-of-doors, these, with com
mon sense in eating and drinking,
are the simplest rules for healthy
wayfaring on the long road through
life.
It Is the everlasting rush for mou-
ey that is the pace that kills so many
men in their prime. All they think
about is money and how to accum u
Late it. Not that they need Is, but
just simply to pile it up to see how
many million dollars they can get
before they are called to render an
account of their stewardship by the
Judge of the Universe. 1t is mere
of curse than benefit. Why is
Rockefeller and Carnegie trying 10
get rid of their ill-gotten gains be-
fore they face that fall? Simply be-
cause they are afraid to face Him
with it. Then why will men grind
out their lives making something
which Is no use to them in the end
