Dent sent his com- j j>leted abstract of the taxable property in the county to Comtroller General j .Jones last week. Mr. Dent is the first of the county auditors in the commonwealth to file his epitome with the State officials.

The total taxes to be collected as per the abstract will amount to $122,394 08, the distribution to be as followers: State, $30,923.26; county, $32,267.76; bridges, $8,066 93: roads, $10,755.92; school bonds, $5,932.90; 3 mills constitutional, $16,133.83; special 1-2 mill, ? $2,688.98; special school, $7,822 95; polls, $5,693; dogs, $2,108.50.

G. A. Goodwin, chairman; George H. Koon and Walter F. Hook, located at Lexington, Brookland, Swansea, Peak, Gilbert and Batesburg. Manly P. George was appointed dispenser at Lexington; Samuel O. Derrick, Brookland; John J. Reeder, Swansea; L. Mangus Shealy, Peak; Cline J. Taylor, Gilbert, and Augustus H. Blease, Batesburg. The action of the board today means that Baesburg, which has been a "dry" town, legally speaking, for many years, will have a dispensary, despite the strong protestation of a number of prominent people of that progressive town. Leesville, just two miles distant from Batesburg, will not have a dispensary at this time, it is said, although it is probable that the board may see fit to establish a dispensary in that town a little later.

Yon can see what chance there is of another good one there: perhaps one in ten at the most. Bad paint is dearest; middling is dear; costs 2 or 3 times as much as the best. No matter about the cost a gallon that isn't it; the cost a square foot; the ccst a job; better yet, the cost a year. There's a whole education in paint in this advertisement.
