Virginia Automobile Taxes
Over 100000.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 10.
The wonderful growth in the
number of automobiles used in
Virginia in the past decade is
shown IN the figures given ont
today by James Haynes, Jr.,
chief clerk in the office of the
secretary of the Commonwealth.
The increase in the revenue re.
ceived from the automobile tax
is, however, not in the same
proportion, due to the fact that
many machines of small horse
power have recently been put
on the market and the license
tax is regulated by the horse
power of the automobile.
4 State license tax was first
put on automobiles in 1906,

Kaufman, better known rs The Her
nit of Carriers Mountain" Is no
more. About dusk New Years Eve
two men stopped at the refuses
farm, about four miles south OF the
city, to inquire II he had apples for
sale. After knocking repeatedly at
the door. one OF them entered and
found the OLD man sitting on the edge
Of his cot dead. Life had evidently
been extinct for several days. In tho
small stove In tho room was found q
charred log Of wood. As the hermit
was about eighty-five years old. 1t
IL supposed that he was too feeble 10
make . fire and probably froze to
death during the bitter cold spell OF
last week - probably on SATURDAY
night. when the thermometer reached
the zero mark.
In Kaufman's room was found his
dog, sheep and chicken, all Of which
were frozen to death. The dwelling,
which IL In a state OF dilapidafion,
contains no glass In the windows.
Some of his neighbors were notified
and on going to the place found that
the refuses cattle, which were shut
up In pen. had not been led OF
watered for several days. They gave
tho stock immediate attention.
Oamc From tho North.
Mr., Kaufman came South from
Pennsylvania about Is years age
and purchased a farm OF about 23o
acres tx himself and bride. On re-
turning TO his native State to claim
his promised bride he found that In
hts absence she had married another
man. Immediately he came back to
Albermarle and had since lived the
fn IT whenevEY
possible all intercourse and association
with his fellow beings, distrnstful Of
and repellant towards every neighhor'
Is advance. suspicious OF every human
being. In fact, a lone old man es-
tranged from human sympathy. he led
the life o. a hermit.
Kaufman's dwelling and farm had
been going down for years. He eked
out a precious living by filling a
few srrfaft patches Of and HI. cloth
ing for the most part was made OF
old bags and In severe weather his
hands were wrapped In rags as q pro-
lection against cold. His bed WAS 4
pile of straw His dinner consisted
, of raw apple and corn bread without
salt. and 40 It seemed that even al
the salt of lie was taken from him In
his youth, so In his old age he had
to deny himself salt for his bread.
Another Trick of Fate.
In recent years Kaufman had drift
ed iA such a state OF uncleanliness
that, according to every law OF by
giene. he should have been gathered
/ to his fathers long before this. Hers
again II seemed as II fate had -playet
another of her tricks by prolongfnt
a life that must have been q torture
and melancholy thing.
! Once and only once aid the old ma,
cross the threshold OF neighbori
home. and strange 10 say, his obtec
in doing SO was matrimony. He wa
persuaded to this by neighbor VII
hoped to marryl him to a dependen
female relative. The hermit made hi
visit and for an hour sat with tn
dependent female and her relatives II
! hermit like silence. Then he aros
and made his only utterance of thu
evening. "She won't do" Over fort,
years OF isolation had made hin
hrusqua and memories OF hi
