Marietta, O., in 1797 paid $409.04 for the maintenance of the government, according to a ledger Just brought to light from its hiding place of many years. December 2S, 1797, was the date ot the first entry in the book. Six years later Ohio became a state. The county at that time was three times as large as it is today. The tax duplicate showed a total of $1,310. In the territory allotted to Washington county in 1797 were the towns of Marietta, Gallipolis, Middleton, Adams, Waterford, Salem and Bellepree now x>eipi e. Six collectors were appointed, with headquarters in Marietta, and these men made their rounds in the "wild land" at the risk of their lives for a wage of $0.55. Indians surrounded the county, and In some instances the villages, so the tax collector was often lucky to return "body whole." In 1798, according to the ledger, the district was divided into nine sections, instead of six, and nine collectors were chosen. Names of the men are given and their places of residence. The commission chose a board ol three members and named a chairman in that year. Meetings were held at the home ol Joseph C. Lincoln, a Revolutionary war hero, and a member of the original Ohio company which settled in Marietta, the first town in Northwest ter ritcry.

Allendale Citizen Tells Why Highway Link Has Not Been Built. The following is from the last issue of the Allendale County Citizen. The Herald meant no offence to Allendale county in what it said of the Allendale link of the highway, and if we were in error, we gladly stand corrected: j "The last issue of The Bamberg Herald carried an article with reference to the completion of the Savannah-Columbia road through Bamberg county, and discusses, at length, j the proposed link in the same road I in the counties of Allendale and i Orangeburg. The Herald is well ; pleased with the Bamberg county { link, declaring that the road is so ; ennd that it is almost impossible to 1 refrain from breaking the speed laws. The Herald, we think, has been misinformed as to Allendale county's attitude. The Herald says: t " 'Now that this link of an import. ant highway has been completed, the people of the county are interested in the construction of links in the adjoining counties of Orangeburg and ! Allendale. It is understood that the . Allendale authorities have had a prei liminary survey made, and that funds i have been arranged for for the construction of the highway through Al! lendale county. However, while no public announcement has been made 1 to this effect, it is also understood that considerable opposition has developed to the building of the high' way as the route has been mapped [ out. This route puts the road several . miles from Allendale, and it is said that the town is up in arms because it will not come to Allendale. " 'Various mthods of pleasing the f people of Allendale have been pro ? posed, it is said, one Deing tnat a i 'spur' be built from the highway to r Allendale. The state highway com, mission, it is stated, will not look with favor upon changing the route ' so as to go through Allendale, as this would not be a direct line.' 1 "In Qrder that The Herald and the I pople of Bamberg county, as well as those of Allendale county who have , not been closely reading the activij ties of the Allendale county board of commissioners, all of which are regu' larly published in this paper, the 1 Citizen is going to tell just why work has not begun on this important link ? of the important highway. "The survey of the road from Salkehatchie swamp, through Ulmers . and Sycamore to Fairfax, has been i completed, but the funds now available for the work necessary on the. bridges over the swamp is not large . I large enough for all of the work.. : j About $60,000, including the federal' i i aid, is available. This is sufficient for - j the bu'lding of the road, but is not j . enough to build the road, bridges and , causeways. In the absence of a fund ! adequate for the ent're work the board of commissioners of this counl tv. began communication with the > state highway engineer, with the re-< - suit that the highway department i said that it would be agreeable if the > county built the road this year and the causeways and bridges next year, J J and it is quite likely that work on the road will soon begin. "However, this does not mean that the construction of the bridges and ; the building of the causeways will be long deferred. We think we can Dromise our friend, the editor of The i Herald, and the people of this and : Bamberg county, that funds will soon . be available for the proper construc, tion of highways and bridges through out Allendale county. There has never i been any disposition on the part of | s the people of Allendale to divert the i road so that it would run through Al lendale, as the route proposed and 1 surveyed seemed the most direct. F "In the meantime, we want to assure The Herald that the Citizen is l shoulder to shoulder with it on any : movement that will bring good .roads i to this section, regardless of cost."

Records of Sims's office show that we escorted 82.75 per cent. ? of the American troops. "His statement that we escorted . only one-third of the merchant vessels that come here is false. The records show that we provided 45 per cent, of the ocean escort vessels. "TT * 1 ,rtT.r ; \tiaving luiyresseu uyun ua small a part we played upon the sea in time of war he proceeded to tell us that in time of peace we should play no part at all. He declared that Great Britain, because of her geographical position, must control the sea and that we could depend upon her transporting our goods to foreign markets and therefore we did not need a merchant marine. He declared we should develop the Great West instead of developing a merchant marine. "When I took issue with him he declared that even if we thought a merchant marine advisable that we could not develop one, because we could not compete with Great Britain without the payment of subsidies, and for this the people would not stand. "So convinced was I that his Anglophilia made it impossible for him to entertain a purely American view point that when 1 returned to mis country I advised one in authority that for an American view they might as well appeal to the British Admiralty as to Sims. Thinks English Ttesent Flattery. "Having visited the battlefields of Ypres and the Great Fleet during the war. I was impressed with the magnificent part played by British arms in the war, and nothing this hyphenated politician could say will either add to or detract from the glory of j the English people. His efforts u, ! flatter them by slandering the army j and the navy of the United States will meet with the contempt of every true Englishman as it does of every true j American. "Sims says he was admonished at; the Xavy Department not to let the J English pull the wool over his eyes, j it is none of our business pulling! I their chestnuts out of the fire. We j would just as soon fight Great Brit- j ani as Germany.' Daniels emphati- j cally declares he did not tell him this, i If no one told him, then Sims's state- \ ment is deliberately false. If a su-j n / ! nt AnioVi Vi 1 m ytJi'lUl UiUCCl U1U su auuiuuioii uxiuy then Sims is violating confidential instructions and deserves the condemnation of every American and a dishonorable discharge from the navy. "While Pershing was fighting for an independent army co-operating with our Allies, Sims was urging that all our naval activities be directed by the British Admiralty.

"There may be other medicines as good as Ferrolax, but you will have to go a long way to find them,"! said R. N. Black, a well-known employee at the Navy Yards and who lives at 184 King street, Charleston, S. C., a few days ago. "I don't believe any man ever suf iered irom neadacne any worse tnan I did," continued Mr. Black, "and of 'all the different medicines I have taken during the past trying to get relief from this trouble, Ferrolax is the only thiDg that has ever done me any good at all. I not only suffered from headaches, but my entire system was in a badly run-down condition, and I just felt weak and worn out all the time. I had very little energy or strength and never felt like getting up in the morning. "Then I heard about Ferrolax and decided to give it a trial and it turn ed out to be the very medicine I needed. Why, in a little or no time after I commenced taking this wonderful medicine I began to feel better and I just kept on getting better until I am now completely free from those troubles and feel as well and strong as I ever did in my life. Yes, sir, I am a strong believer in Ferrolax and am more than glad to recommend it to the world." Ferrolax is sold in this county by Copeland & Farrell, Ehrhardt, S. C.
