Next Year’s Taxes.
The Slate tax will be fo 3G on the
thousand, this year. The county
ordinary the has not yet assessed
county tax or, if decided upon,
has not yet given it out. There is
a small reduction in the State tax.
In the county tax there will probably
be a slight increase.

Failed to Materialize.
That general rain which the peo¬
ple hasn’t have talked about and hoped for
come yet, and August is nearly
gone. It begins to look as if it would
not come before the equinoctial mins
set in. Some of the farms haven’t
had a good rain since summer set in,
and crops on them are very poor.
Ready for Bids.
As will be seen from a notice that
appears elsewhere the Ordinary is
now ready to receive bids lor the new
county bonds. These bonds are is¬
sued in denominations of $500 each,
and hear interest at the rate of 8 per
cent. Tins is a fine investment for
those who have idle money on hand.

The gin house, together with two
Hall gins, feeders, condensers and
pony, press of Mr. J. A. Logan, of
Aletasville, was destroyed bv fire last
substantial Monday night. The building was a
structuee and the loss
will be a heavy one to Mr. Logan as
there was no insurance. The tire
was the work of an incendiary.

Methodist Meeting'.
Next Sunday the protracted meet¬
ing will begin at the Methodist
church at tins place. The presiding
elder of the district will be present
and lend his aid. It is the earnest
desire of the pastor that all members
of the church attend and give their
aid, as far as possible, to help reclaim
some wanderer from the fold.
That Throbiug Heartache.
Would quickly leave you if you
used Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
Thousands of sufferers have proved
their matchless merit for Sick and
Nervous Headaches. They make pure
blood and strong nerves and build
up your health. Easy to take. Try
them. Only 25 cents. Money hack
if not cured. Sold by alL druggists
It is Worth Trying'.
Run your farm to make a living
from it,, and you are almost sure to
get a good one and make money be¬
sides. If you farm to make money
alone it is doubtful if you get either.
Concentrate your working capital,
labor and fertilizers on one-half the
acres you are now tending better and dividends see if
farming won’t pay
and less trouble.
Couldn’t Keep a Secret.
They were discussing the question
as to whether a woman can keep a
secret.
Little Charley had not appeared
to be listening, but he suddenly ad¬
ded his contribution lo the stock of
general intelligence by exclaiming:
“Well, I know rna can’t keep a se¬
cret! Everything I do she goes and
tells it to pa almost the first minuet
he gets into the house.”
Another Murder.
A murder was committed in the
upper end of the county last week. A
negro, Alack* Cade, a tenant on the
McCord place, near White Plains,
ivas shot by another negro mimed
Jeff Hasch il. ’The murderer, to sat
isfy a grudge, went to his victim’s
house undercover of darkness, and
shot him down without warning.
Judge E. A. Stribling held an in¬
quest over the remains. The verdict
of the jury was one of murder. Has
clial has not, at this writing, been
apprehended.
Who Will Do It?
Money invested in factories
better than that invested in
enterprises. There ought to he
factory in Liucolnton. There is
capital enough in the town and
county to build one here. All that
is needed is for some competent per¬
son fo take the enterprise, in hand.
Who will do it?
Another Chance.
The Seaboard Air Line railway
will extend their line from Athens to
Augusta and thence onward to Char¬
leston, S. 0. Would it not be a good
idea for our people to get together
and see if we can not devise
means by which we could induce
the railroad authorities to touch this
place with the proposed route. There
is no telling the advantages that
would be derived if we had a direct
out let by rail, it would not only
benefit the town, but it would he
vast benefit to the entire county,
it is to be hoped that the people will
make an effort to secure this road.
Husbands Strictly In It.
“The Texas affirmed court of appeals,” it
noted, “has the right of
ferior courts to issue injunctions
the request of a husband
any third person to ‘speak to,
to or in any way communicate
his wife, ‘whenever such act shall
prejudicial decision to the applicant.’
affirming under is sweeping
general, and it in Texas
husband may enjoin not only
male object of his jealousy, hut his
mother-in-law and ‘all his wife’s
lalioiis’ from holding
tion with her whenever they may
approve uf his conduct.”
Worth Saving.
The manure from sheep is worth
more than that derived from any
other animal, next that from the
hog and then from the horse, manure
from cattle being less valuable than
from other animals, hut in quantity
produced cattle conics first, then
horses, next hogs, with sheep last.
The value of manure does not de¬
pend altogether upon the animal
producing it, however, as the charac¬
ter of the food consumed largely in¬
fluences the manure, and the manure
from an animal varies in quality and
quantity daily.
-----
A Murderous Assault.
We learn that one night last week
some parties whose names we have
been unable to obtain made an at¬
tack upon Air. Virgil E. Harper, who
lives in the Ohennault neighborhood,
with murderous intent. Mr. Harper
was sitting on his front porch when
two white men warning, approached his house
and, without began shoot¬
ing at him, hut fortunately without
result. Warrants were sworn
and the parties preliminary were arrested and
were given a trial before
Justice Bross, at Clieimault,
hearing the evidence they were both
bound over to the October court.
Value of the Local Paper.
The following is worth Davis, reading
digesting: Senator of Illinois,
is quoted as saying: “Each year
local newspaper gives from $500 to
$5,000 in fiee lines for the benefit
the community in which it is print¬
ed. No other agency can nor will
do this. The editor, in proportion
to his means, does more for his town
than any other man, and in all fair
ness lie ought to be supported, not
because you like or admire his writ
ing, but because a local newspaper
is decidedly the best advertisement a
community can have. It may not be
crowded with great thought, hut
financially it is more of a benefit
than teacher or preacher.”
A Bright Prospect.
The prospects for a large attend¬
ance of pupils ro the Lincointon
High School next session is very
bright. We learn that a large num¬
ber of applications have been receiv¬
ed for hoard from out of town stu¬
dents. This is as it should he and
our people are to he congratulated
for the excellent school that we feel
assured they will have. There is no
excuse in the world for us to send
our boys and girls away from home
to he educated, for we will have a
school of the highest order, conduct¬
ed by the best comfortable talent, and besides
there will be homes pro¬
vided for those from out of town at
a most reasonable rate.

Good Advice.
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak cheer¬
ing words while their ears can hear
them. The things you mean to say
when they are gone, say before they
go. The flowers you mean to send
for their coffins, send to brighten
and sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If a sermon helps you,
it will do the preacher editor good writes to tell
him of it. If the an
article you like, lie can write a still
better one next week if yon send
him a note of thanks. If my friends
have vases laid away with perfumes
of sympathy anil affection, I would
be glad if they would bring them
out in some of my weary hours, that
I may he cheerful and refreshed by
them. If we would fulfill our mis¬
sion we must anoint our friends be¬
forehand for their burial, Tears
falling on the icy brow make poor
and tardv atonement for coldness and
selfishness in long, struggling years.
Flowers piled on the coffin cast no
fragrance back over the weary years.
