VETERANS ELECT
SAME BOARD

The Confederate veterans Of Lex
ington county met at the court house
Saturday of last week for the purpose
of electing a pension board under
the new law and transacting other
business pertaining to pensions. The
election resulted in retaining the for
mer board as follows: Col. M. D. Har-
man chairman; D. T. Hare. James E.
Rawl. Under the law the old board
is to serve until January l next,
when the board elected at Saturdays
meeting will take charge OF affairs,
but inasmuch as the entire member
ship Of the old board was reelected
this will make no difference so far as
Lexington county is concerned.
The veterans in convention went
over thoroughly all the old pension
rolls and as each name was called re-
port was made as to the whereabouts
of each one. It was found that some
forty-odd had died in the last few
years since the old roll had been pre-
pared.
The board is now actively at work
on preparing the roll for this year,
and expects to have it corrected and
ready to send to the comptroller gen.
eral by April !. Col. NJ. D. Harman,
the chairman, who has been spend
ing the winter with his daughter in
Florida, is expected home at an early
date.
The last legislature appropriated
$500, 100000 for pensions. AS soon as
the rolls from all the counties are
in the money will be ayaila BILE to those
entitled to receive it.

FARMERS UNION
MAKESPROTEST

The Lexington County FARMERS
Union, at recent meeting passed
resolutions expressing their disap-
proval of the appointments made by
the legislative delegation to the county
board Of commissioners. The union,
while it finds no fault with the per-
sonality Of the men appointed, feels
aggrieved that the farmers had no
representation on the board and asks
the delegation to reconsider their ac-
ton and place upon the board some
representatives Of the farming eae-
ment, which constitutes large pro-
portion of the voters and taxpayers
Of the county.
The resolutions of the union, which
The Dispatch-News has been request
ed to publish, are as follows:
Whereas, the Lexington delegation
has appointed the County Commits
sioners and have failed to recognize
the farmers,
Therefore be it resolved,
1st: That we. know that there are
enough competent farmers in the
County to fill the position as County
Commissioner.
2: That the delegation has failed
to recognize the ability Of the farmers
in the least; Therefore, we the Lex
ington County Farmers Union CEN
sure their action by not appointing al
least part Of the County Commission
ers from the ranks of the farmers.

THE BUILDERS
Crank Dorrance Hopley in Dear
- born independently

There is a fable Of a man who
thought to build himself a castle that
should stand as monument to his
memory forever.
He builded one whose corner stone
was riches. 1t was inlaid with gems
and had a golden cornice, which gitt-
tered in the sun. This cattle will
stand forever" said the man, but the
winds of misfortune blew upon the
four corners. and it fell.
Then the man builded again-this
time upon power. He thought him
self invincible with his bulwarked
towers and strong embellishments. But
there arose a nightier than he, who
assailed the castle from all sides, and
it too fell.
For the third time the man builded,
and the foundation was fame. His say
ings and deeds were heralded
throughout the land. and he raised
the structure to the plaudits Of the
multitude But the people were tickle
and before 4 year had passed they
had followed after another, and the
third castle began to crumble.
Again the man would have builded
castle, but the times were hard,
and there were many poor and desc
late in the land who needed assist
ance. So the man put aside his am
bitions to raise a monument with his
name upon it, and gave Of his abund-
ance, and helped to make life less
hard and wearisome for many people.
in consequence Of which he could not
build, this time, q castle, but had to
be content to erect a modest house
upon the hillside. There he lived
through all the storms of life, and
the house still stand, a monument
Eao the man, because it was built on
sacrifice and love.
q There are many persons today who
are like the man in the fable. Some
believe that wealth is all in the world
that counts. Others there are whose
god is power. And those who chase
the l-o-the-wisp Of fame are Oft
times doomed to disappointment. The
multitude that applauds them today
will tomorrow, applaud others with
equal acclaim. The goddess of fame
is a tickle jade ard will not stay won
for long.
But the man who builds upon the
corner stone of love and sacrifice for
his fellow men, who thinks Of the
happiness of others before his own, is
certain that his name will be remem-
bered and revered after he has passed
away. and many will rise up to cali
him blessed.

MET TUESDAY

The County Board of Equahzauon
met Tuesday in the office OF w. u.
Dent. county auditor, and went care
fnlly over the returns of real and
personal property throughout the
comfy. Few protests were filed with
the board. and in every case except
one the decision of the township and
town boards was upheld. The board
gave careful scrutiny to all returns in
an effort to get the best equalization
nassdhle. In some cases returns were
slightly increased and in others slight
decreases were made.
AS a result of the boards work it
was found that the average value OF
stock in the county as returned was
as5 follows: Mules. $4,000; horses.
5000; cattle, $500. The auditor was
instructed that in case the value OF
stock should be increased by the tax
commission the increased valuations
should be placed on such townships
as were below the county average in
value.
Upon the motion of Mr.. II. F. Hen
dirk, the auditor was instructed to
secure from the state highway de-
partment a list of all automobiles in
Lexington county for which license
had been applied for and check such
list with the returns and see that all
machines are listed for taxation.
Upon motion Of Mr.. c. E. Jones OF
Batesburg, the auditor was directed
to request that each chairman of the
board in each township and town be
urged to send him list of all mer-
camille and other business establish
ments Of whatever kind in his dis
trict, so that the list be compared
with the records in the Office Of the
tax commission in order that no prop
erty may escape taxation. "
The board was in session until about
l O'Clock. Mr.. n. B. Wannamaker OF
Sandy Run was elected chairman:
