The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, October 7,1903. v The Point Well Taken. To the Editor of the Dispatch: To those who oppose a property tax for keeping up public highways, and give for an excuse that they don't think it right to increase the tax at this time but think it right to raise the communication tax to five dollars, is that not raising tax on a certain cias&i anouia two youDg men do the same amount of work or ~ pay the same amount of money, one of whom owns a plantation of five hundred acres of valuable land?the other no property at all? I was pleased and surprised at the road convention. Mr. Guignard's , talk had the right ring about it. The one who owns the property ought to help keep up the roads by a property tax. I was surprised at the talk one of my friends made. I had reasons to think he was all right, but he was lOUUU U.< ue uu tUO lOUUC. x icm tuc brother is looking to the people snd not for the people. After the contention adjourned he said he "never saw the question in the light he did the day before" when some one said to him, "you don't think of putting more tax on us!" Totes obscured bis vision. Stick to the right let others do as they may. Yours for fairness, J. H. Counts. - Irmo, S. G., Sept 28,1903.

The contingent fund of only $2.500 for extra terms of court will scon be exhausted, and unless the members of the bar of Columbia get in their petition, says the Columbia Evening Record, for a special judge shortly, which will be necessary pn account of Judge Gage's illness, it is not thought that their request can be oomplied with. A petition has been received from Hon. Stanyarne Wilson asking for an extra tersp of%ourt tor Spartanburg, beginning November, 16 and lasting two weeks. In addition to this two letters havobeeu received from Ohief Justice Pope in regard to special courts and judges. The first related to Judge Klugh's illness and recommended the appointment of Judge W. G. Benet to hold court at Union, beginning October 5, in place of Judge Klugh. The other inclosed a petition from ; the members of the bar of Fairfield asking for an extra term of court, beginning the third Monday in November and lasting two weeks. Mr. Allen J. Green, a prominent attorney of the city, was recommended to preside. The funds will he quickly exhausted if this keeps up. The same thing happened last year during the last three months and although a i number of requests were received by Governor McSweeney after the fund was exhausted be was compelled to refuse. r*nn^ ma imvimaam ^fivo 1q [_AU UB injr LUUU lb OCCUIO IIUS1V IB something radically wrong with the judicial department of the State government. There is evidently a cog loose somewhere and the machinery is out of gea.*. The appropriation of $25,000 for holding special terms court was a very unwise piece of legislation and the Act should never have been placed upon the books. I It is a useless piece of legislative extravagance and a burden upon the taxpayers of the State. Besides this the practice of petitioning for extra terms of court, although, perhaps not intended so, is, nevertheless, a reflection upon the legal ability or integrity of the judiciary of South Carolina as now constituted, and the tendency of such a state of affaire, once having a found a lodgment in the public mind, is to Iobo confidence in the ability of the fr* iho nf thfl WUUl V ?V W|/fc*v*v VMW Mh.JWWJ W W ? ? law, to punish crime and meet out justice to the wronged who knock at the doors of the temple of justice and appeal to the strong arm of the law to protect them in maintaining | their rights peacefully. We assert that, from observation and belief if there was some rule of court compelling lawyers to have their cases ready for trial the term for which they are docketed there would be absolutely no necessity for an increase in the number of circuits, judges and solicitor?; there would be no demand for special courts, and clogged calendars would be unheard of.?Editor* Dispatch J The Salve that Seals , Without leaving a scar is DeWitt's.

Kodol digests what you eat?makes the stomach sweet. Sold by all druggists. Teddy Snubs Obover. New York, September, 30.?Much comment was aroused here today con cerning the report that President Roosevelt refused to attend the installation of President Finley of the University of the City of New York, yesterday, because Cleveland was to speak.

The first orange shipment of any consequence for this season went forward last night on the Clyde steamship Apache, being 1,500 boxes. Most of tb&iruit came from Manatee county, below Tampa. Much of it was green and hardly in a cond tion to secure good prices in the Northern markets, while some were "windfalls,'' having been blown from the trees in the last storm. The fruit is ripening fast and bids fair to be a good crop this year, notwithstanding the storm, possibly 1,35Q.000 boxes. The shipping season will i _ .. j :i j_ Boon uegm in earuest auu rauruaua and steamers will be in demand to carry the crop. Sav?3 Two From Death.

Shirley, a dairyman near Anderson, has had several cowb to die recently and has several others that are sick. He sent to Glemson College for-a veterinarian, who inspected the herd. This official gave as his opinion that the cows had been suffering from Texes fever, and that the disease bad been caused by ticks. He said a calf may have ticks on it without injury, but that if a cow grows to maturity without having ticks and then acquires them, they will cause what is known as Texas fever, which will nearly always prove fatal. It is said no certain cure has yet been found for the disease. The expert advised Shirley to get whiskey and give bis cows half a pint at time. j Bettor Than Pills. The question has been asked?In | what way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic and liver pills? Our answer is?They are easier and more pleasant to take and their effect is so gentle and so agreeable that one hardly realizes that it is produced by a medicine. Then they not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and aid the digestion. For sale at 25 cents per bottle by The Kaufmann. A New Disease. A new disease has appeared in the cotton bolls in some of the middle oounties of this State, which the farmers designate "sprouting" for want of a better definition. The farmers in that section Bay that it is an attack that has never been known there before. It brings on a rot within the boll, and it is claimed has caused fully one-fourth. damage to the crops in the immediate sections where it has appeared. Bronchitis for 20 Years.
