"The agitation for an election to
include the suburb of Brookland, in
Lexington county, into Columbia has
not died out, and it is expected that
a formal petition will be presented iD
a few days. There is some opposition
on this side of the river now, how
ever, on the ground that it would
mean a great deal of expense to this
city just at present; although the
city could get most of the money
back in time from taxes. Jusfc now
when the city needs a lot of money
for the waterworks and other improvements
and it would be necessary
to eqaip the entire suburb with
water plants, a. fire station, electric
lights and other improvements. Un
; - ?>?, .
LESS THE TOWN WOULD BE WILLING TO
WAIT UNTIL THEIR SHARE OF THE
\ / TAXES PAID FOR IT, THE IMPROVEMENTS
WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BY THE CITI
zens hebe?Columbia Evening Beeord.
So there was a "nigger in the wood
pile" after all. The Record wants to
use the people of Brooklaod as eats?
paws to pull its chestnuts out of
the fire. It has rang out its Macedonian
cry, "Come over the river, ob,
ye taxpayers of Brookland, bringing
your tithes wifci* you, and help us
out, and then in the fullness of time,
when Gabriel shall blow his horn, we
(will give you "electric lights and
other improvement. A burnt child
dreads fire and the people of Brookland
are content to endure the evils
that they know of rather than to fee
to those that they known not of, and
it is well for them that they have* so
decided.
The town council at its regular
meeting Monday night appointed the
following well known gentlemen as a
Board of Health, with the terms of
their office: Dr. J. J. Wingard, five

pfv^ years; G. M. HarmaD, three years;
. Scott Hendrix, two years; Charlie
Geiger, one year. The Board met
and organized by electing G. M.
Harman, Chairman, and Dr. J. E.
Kaufmann, Secretary. The Board
is clothed with almost unlimited
power as regards sanitary conditions,
and these men have gone to work in
a systematic order and, we are glad
to state their hands are upheld and ]
their actions endorsed by all peace- 1
ful and law abiding people and they j
are receiving the moral and financial <
support of the people of Lexington. j
Last Sunday was the fortieth an- !
niversary of the surrender of GeD. j
Lee at Appomatox.^When the clouds "
gathered around that noble band of
patriots that day all felt that the
principles for which they fought and
suffered for four long, weary years
| were lost. But not so. Strange to
say that the United States Supreme1
Court, a majority of the members of |
wincfc are itapubucans, nas ^upneia
and sustained every contention of }
the Southern Democracy except the
doctrine of nullification, so what the
*
Southern Confederacy lost in warJ
they won in peace. i (
Arguments in case of the State 0/ 1
South Carolina vs. the United States (
V x
were heard in * the Supreme
court of the United States on April
10. The Stats is suing the Federal
government for $30,000 which the
government, through its internal revenue
bureau insisted upon making the
State officers pay for wholesale and
retail liquor licenses under the operation
of the dispensary system.
< .
In the United States circuit court,
in Charleston, on April II* a verdict
of $41,639.26 was found against ex
5c Senator John L. McLaurin in a suit
brought against him by the International
Trust Co, of Baltimore, on a
promissory note given while President
of the Brunswick and Birmingham
railroad and Vice President of
the Brunswick and Western Construction
Co.
The Japs are again moving sgainst
the Russians. The greatest land
and sea battle yet fought is hourly
eipected.
Last Monday on Mr. Jobn Buz- j
zira'3 place in Saluda county, near
Batesburg, in this county, Ed Davis
and Jim Ltng, both colored, fell out
about a woman, the result being that
Jim has about one side of his face
shot off and Ed is rusticating in jail.
S ne of the discoveries made by
the State fish commission is that millions
of cans of oysters have been
shipped out of the State and this
finding was but the result of a single
day's work.
After a prolonged litigation the
Government returns $400,000 paid
as taxes during the American-Spanish
war by the Yanderbilts.
The motto of some men is "give
me liberally or give me debt."
Unless the mercj^ of God interposes
in his behalf, Marion Parr will
surely hang in Columbia next Friday
for the murder of Clarence Shealy.
An
At Some Entertainment.
Our community has been kept
uite lively this season, and no event
has been more notable for its entire
success than the At Home Birthday
entertainment given by Mr. and Mrs
W. F. Stabler in honor of their
daughter, Miss Annie Stabler, Friday
night, March the 31st.
Fair maidens and gallant young
men gathered from the community
and nearby villages. Miss Annie is
quite an ideal hostess and all who
were fortunate to receive an invitation
gladly accepted. Dancing was
the principal amusement of the evening.
Among those who were so
royally entertained were as follows:
Messrs. Savior, Jumper, Neal,
Assman, D. E. Jefcoat, S. S. Rucker,
John Rucker, Harry Rucker, Wilbur
Rucker, J. J. Lucas, Rufus Stabler,
Willie Wise, B. S Wise, J L. Wise,
Y. Y. Saylor, J. W. Cook, Fred Huffman,
Frank Stabler, L. G. Stabler,
W. D. Crider; Misses Mamie Assmann,
Dora Jumper, Helen AssmaDD,
Carrie Rucker, Maggie Crider, Hattie
Crider, Allie Furtick, Cora Stabler,
Effie Stabler, Lillie Stabler, Wiseie.

Special Tas.
I wish to say that all school trustees
and patrons of the various school
districts of the county who desire to
vote a special tax for school purposes
must do so prior to June 1st, 1905,
if such tax is to be collected and
used this year. If any are thinking
of this matter we urge you to act
at once or you may be too late to receive
benefit therefrom during scholastic
year ending June 30th, 1906.
Very respectfully,
J E. Raw! Eyzer,
County Supt. of Education.
Bad Accident.
Mr. J. M. Ellisor, from near Newberry,
happened to a bad accident
Sunday last. He visited friends on
iihe south side of Saluda river on
Saturday and Sunday and while retaining
to his home Sunday his
horse became unruly and thre^ Mr.
Sllisor out of the buggy and broke
loose from the vehicle, ran into the
lat at Hclly?s Ferry and jumped
Into the river from it and swam
icross with its harness on. Mr.
Derrick, who was on the opposite
fide of the river, caught the horse
md brought him back to its owter.
Mr. Ellisor patched up the buggy
?8 best he could and drove on bis
ivay home. Fortunately he was not
nuch hurt.

IN some conditions the
gain from the v-*
of Scott's Emulsion is
very rapid. For this
* reason we put up a
J fifty-cent size, which is
enough for an ordinary
cough or cold or useful
as a trial for babies
and children. In other
conditions the gain is
slower?health cannot
be built up in a day.
In such cases Scott's
Emulsion must be taken
as nourishment; a food
rather than a medicine.
It's a food for tired and
weak digestions.

last year was $118,974 15. Of the
