An Aged Citizen of tlio County
Passes * way
Mr. John J. King of Dry Creek,
one of the oldest and best citizens
of Lancaster county, h: s crossed
over the river.. For some months
he had been unwell tint only for
the past few weeks has his illness
been considered serious. Ho died
about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
of dropsy. Had he lived until the
20th day ?f next September he
would have been 82 years of age.
He was twice married. His first
wife,AdelineMcMurray,died some
forty-odd years ago, leaving one
child. His second wife, Sarah McMurray,
survives him. He leaves
two sons, John King and Wm A.
King. Ho was a consistent member
of the Baptistchurch for years
and his remains were interred at
Newhope Baptist church yesterday
afternoon, Rev. J. 11. Boldridge,
D. L)., of this place conducting
the burial sorvico.
Iu the dentil of Mr. King tho
Ledger loses another of its origi
nal subscribers. 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.

It F L> Routes Kxamined
The special agent of the Government,
Mr. Howard, came here
Inst Thursday and on Friday and
Saturday inspected three propose
ed Rural Free Delivery routes in
this county, inspecting tirst the
route from Lancaster eastward
down the Red Held road to Primus
ihenco south on the Rocky River
road ono-half mile to a point
ahout opposite Rich Hill where
tbo Primus ollioo is now kept;
thence back up tie Rocky River
road via Primus to Dwight, the ,
point of intersection with the
Chesterfield road; thence to Lancaster
over tho said Cbosterlield
road. 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.
Congressman Finloy will do all
> in his ofiicial power to aid in the
> establishment of these routes and
> application should be made to him
i for the necessary blanks for peti
tioning.

knot of white satin ribbon and under
this the brido and groom met
and stood, with tho maid of honor

Tho whole etfoct was very pret
ty indeed and tho rich coloring of
the blooms of the oleandas and
geraniums with other potted flowers
and tho mellow light of tho
wax tapers were secondary to tho
beauty of tho bride and her attendants.
Tho bride was gowned
ifi a very becoming costume of
white organdie with tagetta ribbons,
wore the bridal veil and
carried a boquet of bride's roses.
