The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, March 30,1910. G. Hasman, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwanger, Assistant Editor Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. CIBCULATION 2.325. >r? i .i . i i .i - On account of the unexpected and severe illness of Mr. D. R. Haltiwanger, assistant editor of the Dispatch, during the past week, and the partial absence of the editor, we are forced to leave out many important matters of news this week. Mr. Halfiwanger is improving slowly. The Editor returned on Monday TO. >rning from a week's visit to Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Ifsw York. This trip wa9 one that 'we had long hoj ed to make, and having arranged our business satisfactorily before leaving home, the trip was one continued round of pleasure. It is impossible to attempt to describe the many incidents of tbe trip, as it would consume too much space. In Baltimore and New York we met a number of friends, who extended ,?r: , many courtesies, all of which were Tally apprecjateu, ai;u ueipt.u lu auu all the more ro our pleasures and enjoyments. The whole trip was grand, each place adding new pleasures to the week. We went out over the Southern and returned by the Seaboard road. We arc now back at our post, working with, renewed vigor, hoping that good fortune will again at jnodistmt day, allow us to make a similar trip. Annexation Meeting. The annexation meeting which wa-: bailed to meet at Brookland on last -Saturday was only attended by a few * people. It was agreed by those present to get out petitions n order to have an election hi Id. The meeting at Irruo on Mondaj* was not very largely attended, it be-> ;ng estimated that only about 30, were attendance. Mr. N. W. Brooker, of 'Columbia, the "high muck-a-muck" ^of the scheme, was present and was officious as he was at the New Brookland meeting. If Mr. Brooker ^acceeds in this undertaking it will be the first time that he has ever succeeded in any movement of a political character. Next week we will have someting to say on the subject, and in the main time our people should be slow to take action in this matter \ County Board of Equalization The County Board of Equalization met irrthe court house yesterday with the following members in attendance: , 15. Austin Smith, A R. Taylor, J, S. "Wessinger, W. Q. Jackson, M. B. Edwards, R. L. Lybrand, A. D. Shull, J. T. Sawyer, T. J. Roof, John H. 5>healy, F. G. Hartley, G, F. Keisler, V. Hamp Hendrix, Jas.

Wh*n the "question of appeals were a9ked there werequite a lar^e number present to aoswer, particularly from Black creek mod Broad river township3. The (ward heard these appeals, and in some instances reduced the valuation, bat in most cases the various boards were sustained, it being shown by the chairman that this increase was in proportion to others in said towoship. {a Broad river towr sh p all lands were reduced 10 per cent, and in Forx 5 per -cent, while in Saluca the valuation of lands was increased 5 i e.* cent. The average made on stock by the comity board was as follows: Horses, 4*39; cattle $14; mule?, $68. 3&ssigto1 of Parlor Restaurant.
