When Dick Powers was member
Of the Illinois general assembly from
Cairo, he undertook to have a Law
passed making the carrying of con-
ceale3 weapons by others than Off
GERS, a penitentary oRense, instead
of misdemeanor. Mr.. Powers
wished to strike an effective blow at
a habit which he recognized properly
as a prolific cause of murder in the
state. His effort was defeated, as
was again the effort of Representa-
tive Tsley who introduced like bill
in the present general assembly
which the committee has reported
back unfayorably. Representative
Powers had the approval of the then
police authorities of Cairo, and Rep
cesentative Isley introduced his meas
ure at the suggestion of ChicagJs
chief of police The argument used
against the bill was that it would i'm
pose heavy penalties upon citizens
who carried arms for self protection
against thugs. They ignored the fact
that citizens would no; need to carry
arms for protection against thugs II
hugs who carried arms were sent to
the penitentiary.

ALEXANDER co. NOT SO BAD.

The Illinois Issue is the iFroh1b!tion
organ OF this state and Is just doT
engaged in an effort to procure the
enactment of county option law In
its issue of Jan. q it presents some
figures from which it seems to d.aw
conclusions that favor its contention,
and incidentally takes occas on 10
offer Alexander county as horrible
example" The Issue has been in me
habit of INDUCING in filings at this
community at various times, strain
ing itself and straining the truth
whenever necessary to create oppor-
tunities for doing so, in order to Illus
trate the blighting effects of the l.
qucr traffic.
The Bulletin has not, hitherto, paid
serious attention to che Issues filings
at this community, realizing that the
paper was engaged in war for what
it regarded as a good cause, and max
ing allowance for the fact that many
things are fair in war which are not
recognized as legitimate means in or
binary times and affairs. But even
in war there are some things which
are prohibited by international agree
ment, as being barbarous and infam-
ors; and The Bulletin submits that
the Issue has overstepped the bounds
thus established for honorable war
fare, in its treatment of Alexand or
county.
The Issue presents several tables of
tax figures for 1909, to prove" its
statements. In one Of these it. gives
the assessed value Of property, separ.
atlng the value of town lots fro n
that Of farm lands, and which it reple e.
sents as positive proof that tat
farmer pays the bulk Of tine county
taxes" On the face of the fl ures
which the Issue offers, this statement
appears to be true in all but nine o
the 102 counties of the state but ii
the figures are as much awry with
reference to other counties as they
are with reference to Alexander coun
ty, the Issues statement is far from
tire truth.
1t SO happens, that while the Issue
has singled out Alexander county as
zone OF the worst counties in the
state" its own figures pplace 1t in tn
\ list Of the nine counties where the
farmers DO NOT pay the bulk OF The
M taxes, the other eight counties being
\ Cook, Kane, Lake, Mercer, Peoria
Rock Islani, st. Clair and Winneba
go-all of them so-called "saloo,
counties" The Issue gives the as
sessed value of farm lands in thi,
county for 1909, as $1,279,533 and Q
town and city lots as $2,27S,S0 witt
Inc percentage of county tax pail b,
the farmers as SO per cent.
But the Issue makes the mistake
here that doubtless 1t has made Will
respect to other counties also, of fai
ing to note that $334,122 worth of thu
"farm land" in this county is locate
In the city of Cairo, being listed a
farm land" merely because it is no
plated into city lots.
Then there is the item of persona
property which the Issue omits Ell
TREY from its calculations, The tax
able value OF this property In 1870
in Cairo was $755,10l and in tn
county outside Of Cairo II was $1s2
AGA.
II the Issue should add the 1894
122 for unplatted city land to the vall
alton Of ''city lots add also the SUI
representing the value of siinila
property In towns and villages in thi
county. to the valuation Of town an

Resolutions Adopted
at INDIGNATION Meeting

The following resolutions were
adopted at the indignation. meeting
held at Chapin on Saturday, March
25:
"Whereas, there is much complaint
among the taxpayers of the Dutch
Fork, Lexington County, S. c., in re-
gard to the unequal distribution Of
the work of the county chaingang and
the neglect OF the main public roads
of the Fork and the effort to divert
the main trunk-line of the Columbia
and Newberry road at Chaplin by way
of Lexington, thus doing, or attempt
ing to do, further injury to large
number Of the Dutch Fork; therefore
"Resolyed 1st. We insist that the
Dutch Fork be given her part of the
work of the chaingang according to
taxation.
''2nd. Since the main trunk-line
of the Columbia and Newberry road
leading through the Fork is one Of the
oldest and most important roads Of the
county, connecting as it does the up
country with the capital of the State;
it is the sense of this meeting that the
time due the Fork by the chaingang
should be put on this road at once.
"3rd. That we deem the neglect Of
appointing overseers and ordering
them to warn out the lands to work
the public roads, an Intentional injus-
tice by the county supervisor.
t, 18th. We consider the act of col
lecting the communication tax and not
using it on the sections Of roads from
which collected, a violation of the
law as we'll as an injustice to the Sec
ton from which collected.
ss5th. We denounce taxation with
out representation or remuneration,
as usurpation of unlawful authority.
seth. Why Shis discrimination?
For what sin are we being punished?
"7th. That these resolutions be
sent to the Lexington Dispatch, Lees
vile News, and the Columbia State
with the request to publish
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1911-04-05

es and Roman scrolls. 1t will take the
stiffness out Of that left knee. You
needn't sit up for me-
III you are badly Injured l suppose
they will take you to the hospital and
notify me?'
Mr.. Bewser ehoked back reply. de-
scended the steps with dignity and
walked away to join Barnes on the
corner. Mrs. Bowser read her book un-
til bedtime, but before going upstairs
she laid out on a side table the CAM
phor. the witch hazel, the brandy,
roll of antiseptic and box Of salve.
Mr.. Bowser had made but one single
trial Of roller skating, and that was in
his attic at home. He had wabbled
along for twenty feet and then met his
Waterloo. He had confidence. however.
he had read that roller skating de-
pended altogether on confidence In
his confidence he had Dragged to
Barnes. In his confidence he Dragged
again as they walked along the street.
He smiled in a knowing way and said:
'T'm not after gold medal for fancy
skating, but l think III open the eyes
CT the crowd a little before I'm
through. III play off at first. and you
watch my zigzags when get down 70
business. I'm no swan or gazelle, but
/ think can cut few dodges-just
few"
Bowser Reaches the Rink.
The hall was crowded. 1t was not
until Mr.. Bowser saw :;C9 rollers roll
ing around that his confidence in him
self weakened. it suddenly occurrei
to him lha, BIS theories m:gh. be
wrong and that he should have ,ut
them into pra'tice in private. I'e vas
trying 10 brace up against tie uneasy
feeling when a bad faced young man,
who was 4 spectator, silled Up to him
and whispered:
"Don't put 'em en-. old Beeswax-
don't you do IT,
What do YOU mean, sir, by address,
ing me in this manner?'
Don't put on the rollers. Yer too
fat and loggy. You hain't got no hair
to fall on. Yer might roll down hill in
q bar'l, but you amt no pigeon winser
on skates!'
Mr.. Bowser got mad all over. and
from that instant his determination
was taken. He would skim that floor
as the gull skins the sea. and after the
skimming act he would make that bad
faced young man beg his pardon Tor
the insulting remarks. he sat down
then and there and strapped on TIE
skates he had hired ut the Goor.
