From tho first issue during the more than fifty yenrs of its existence he has been its friend and patron. An honest, upright man, John J. King leaves behind him an example worthy of emulation. [For The Ledger. Mr Editor: ? 1 would like to | have you correct a mistake published in your Saturday's Ledger taken from the Columbia Record. The Record is misleading in its statement as to tho uction of The State board of Equalization, where in it said the board decidod that all property forEqualization should be assessed at the rate of 75 per cent-of its value. It should have said market vulue. Then it went on to say; on the other hand tho board very readily agreed however in consistent they were in doing so to assess at their full value, cotton and cotton seed oil mills and fert* ilizer factories. The latter pari of this report is incorrect, the resolution offered and adopted fixing a basis for Equalizing property plainly reads, that allpropertysub ject to Equalization by this board be put on a basis of 75 per cent of its market value. This includes cotton mills cotton seed oil mills and Fertilizer Factories. J. Wren Tillman. Member_State board Equalization. Edgefield Has a Serious Loss. Special to The State.

This routo will be known [ as "R. F. D No. 1." 1 The next route examined will heknoVvn as R. F. D. No. 2, and ' extends from Lancaster over the ' New Cut road to tho Potter road, ' thence south over tho Potter road to tho Hay road; thcnco along tho Hay road to the Rocky River road; then up said R icky river read to the New Cut and back to Lancas- 1 ter over the said New Cut road. R. F. D. No. 3 leads out from ' Lancaster northward up the Charlotte road to Craigsvillo, thence eastward along the Wadesboro road to Sincerity, thence up to Walkup, thence eastward to the Potter road by Unity to the Wadesboro road,thence southwest en the Buffalo road to tho Monroe road and back to Lancaster over said Monroe road. These routes are supposed to bo not loss than 20 miles and not over 25 miles. The purpose of the government in establishing these routes is for the accommodation of the people in the country in mail matters, giving them a daily mail (Sundays executed*! instead \ r / of what they now have. When these routes are established, the fc'tur route offices will be discontinued, as there will no longer tie any use for them. Last Saturday Mr. Howard > held an examination of the various applicants for tho position of car' nor for each of these routes. The following are the applicants for i these positions; i Route No. L, John E. Pluck> mon and Manly Porter. Route No. 2, J. F. Hunter. Route No. 3, John D. Taylor and E. D. Tillman, i Mr. H. E. Coffey stood tho exi animation, but for 110 particular 1 route. If these routes aro established (and the inspector says ho will 1 recommend their establishment) ? it will be sorao three months bet fore they are in operation. > The fourth route for which an application has gone into the der partment at Washington was not inspected for the reason that the 1 inspector had not received the necessary preliminary papers. He thinks, however, that the papers 1 will be forthcoming soon. The - route referred to leads out into the Dry Creek section south of town. Other routes have been spoken of, hut as vet tho necessarv petit ions have not been sent in by the people along the proposed lines. > If the people interested hope to > have a route established they should lose no time in sending in I the necessary }>etuiu?. for same.
