Stream OF Gold From Peru.
"Since a few years after Balboa's
discovery the Isthmus of Panama
for a long time called Darien-has
been the gateway for commerce De-
tween the East and West and be-
tween Pacific South America and
Europe. The old city of Panama
was founded as the entry port on the
Pacific side in 1913, more than a
hundred years before the Pilgrims
landed in Massachusetts,. Porto
bello, known to all readers of pi-
rate tales, was the Atlantic port, and
between them was constructed a
paved trail. At the height of Span
ish colonial power gold and silver
from Peru were carted across this
old trail like cord wood.
Such great wealth was an ire
sistible attraction to the buccaneers
who infested the Caribbean. Time
after time they swooped down on
the istiimus from their strange ISL
and commonwealth near Haiti. Old
Panama was entirely destroyed in
1911 by such an expedition under
the leadership of the notorious
Henry Morgan, later Sir Henry. On
other occasions, Portobello, in spite
of its formidable Notifications, was
taken, and even occupied by the pi-
rates as a base for months at a
time. One of the old forts of Porto
bello, useless in the village to which
the one-time opulent port has
shrunk. was demolished during the
building of the Panama Canal and
its stones crushed to make material
for concrete.
Panama Isolated Politically
POLITICALLY the Republic of Pana-
ma is a thing apart. 1t was formerly
a state of the Republic of Colom-
bia, in South America, but gained
it's independence in 1903. Geograph-
ically it is a part of Central America.
but it has been left out Of the re-
Gently formed Union of Central
America. This isolation is no doubt
due in large part TO the existence
of the canal under United States
ownership extending through Pana-
ma territory.
This little republic is shaped like
q section of waving ribbon or of a
squirming snake. 1t is 81 miles
across at it's narrowest point and not
much over SO miles wide through
out most of its $50 miles of length.
1t is about the size of South Caro-
lima. The greater part of the At
lantic side of the isthmus Is occu-
pied by jungles. e

Stomachache, like headache, is
always a symptom. In young peo-
pie the chief cause is indiscretion in
diet. Eating too much starchy food
that is often imperfectly digested or
eating indigestible food, pastry and
concentrated sweets, at candy,
causes an excessive flow of gastric
juice. The drinking of a large
amount of ice water may check
digestion.
Aside from simple indigestion,
stomachache may be caused by gall
stone collie, ulcer of the stomach, or
even cancer, though in many cases
Of cancer there is no pain. Pain In
the large intestines may feel like a

because he is good and God has given
him the power to tell the people what
hey are and what they should be.
He has left wonderful influence for
good wherever he has gone, as there
we're many witnesses to testify in the
meeting Sunday. They have the
lilly Sunday clubs organized every
where he has gene, and it was an
bounced in the meeting that they
would meet to organize one in S )ar-

hat he has left in Spartarburg. He
has some fine co-workcrs with HIM
Tho help in his meetings. They are

MENINGITIS KILLS HORSES
Scores of Them Dying in Worcester
County From Old Disease


Not since 1912 has there been so
much cerebrospinal miningitis among
horses and mules in Worcester county,
Maryland. In the southern part of the
county, along the Virginia border, it
has become epidemic and horses have
died by the score. 1t is reported from
Stockton that % animals are sick and
that many have been exposed to the
infected ones.
The disease first made IT'S appear
ance in Accomac county, Virginia, but
has gradually spread northward across
the Virginia Maryland border Until
there are sick horses and mules in
every section of Worcester county.
The center of the infection now is the
Girdletree-Stockton locality, with a
few cases on farms near Snow Hill
Up until a week or more ago the
treatment seemed uncertain. If an
animal became sick it was almost GER
tain to die. In fact, trained veterin-
arians of the national and State de-
partment devoted to animal industry
have not given any specific treatment
and that which has been used is not
efficacious.
Farmers and owners of valuable
animals have been studying the dis
ease and trying every treatment that
was suggested. Some one noticed the
symptoms of meningitis were similar
to those of lockjaw, and suggested
that tetanus antitoxin might be used
with beneficial results. The treatment
was tried with gratifying results, it
seems, but as yet the tetanus antitox-
in will not be recommended as a spe-
cific for meningitis in horses. The
aHtitoxin is injected in doses of from
1900 to 5000 units and animals have
been cured

taxation, the Wilmington Every Even
ing goes on to show that both Kent
and Sussex counties are now testing
the operation of system of assess
ment for taxation purposes which
places upon the owner of real estate
the chief responsibility of furnishing
assessment figures to the county tax
ing agencies. On blanks provided for
the purpose the real estate owner sets
forth the details of his holdings, des-
cription of buildings and other i'm
provements, together with an estimate
of it's valuation for the purposes of
taxation. The County Board of Assess
ment, through its agencies, makes in
veStigation to ascertain how accurate
ly the taxable has performed his part
in the transaction. 1t is said in Sus-
sex county, where the system was first
introduced, that property owners have,
as a rule, shown commendable honesty
and fair judgement in making their
returns, which in many instances are
acceptable and entered on the official
records without material change. And
a like report comes from Kent county.
"But there are exceptions to the
completely successful operation of this
system, Notwithstanding it's general
excellence, although they are not suf-
ficient, thus far, to warrant any de-
mand for material changes. Property
owners cannot be expected to enter
fully into all the elements that go to
increase real estate values when lay
ing their estimates of assessed valua-
tion before the tax authorities. How
they may refrain from taking some
elements into consideration is thus
intimated by the Delaware State News
of Dover:
at would be we'll for the Board
of Assessors to get from the State
Highway Department, estimates
of the value of lands owned by
parties living along the right of
way of the new State Aid roads
being built in this county. A COM
parsion between the returns made
by these people and the estimated
value they make to the Highway
Department would enable the
board to fix the values for taxa
tion much greater than the re-
turns of these people would au-
thorize"
"There is no doubt the construction
of an improved highway Slong farm
is a practical enhancement of it!
value, much more than an improved
street adds to the value of a cit!
property. This road, in addition t,
being a general public convenience, i
valuable possession of the individual
farmer by the rapid and profitabl
transit it places at his disposal i
sending his crops to local market o
to shipping stations. And there is jus
tice in the contention that the valu
thus impaired to a farm propert
should find place in the assessmer
figures on which the tax is based.
$50, while any ignoring of this elt
ment is not to be set down as a dc
feet in the system of personal est
mate of assessment valuations, it
a matter that should be duly consiC
cred by the taxing authorities. Shoul
the taxable fail to include this er
hancing item in his estimate of valus
tion, the supervising authorities ma
readily supply the omission. An
they should do so. Fair assessment

distribution of the burdens of tax;
