To the Editor of The Dispatch: You have answered my articles on Calhoun county with such conspicuous injustice, that I deem it nothing more than right, that we do battle in the same journal. Ano ttdoV warn flip ripnnlP nf ,'V/U v, t L Sandy Run against Orangeburg, in view of exorbitant real estate assessment', and the next you use her low levy to serve a point against new counties. If your contention is correct, it is incredible how people can lose by going from a 4 to a 2 mill levy county. You quote an array of figures which is neither fair nor true. Orangeburg county is quoted with a levy of 2 mills for 1907 for county purposes. I suppose the comptroller general's report is your authority. From the same source I find the tax levy of Lexington county set down as 11 mills. I could leave it at that, and try to fool the people were I disposed to be unfair. You know that Orangeburg has a 1 mill road tax which is as much a tax as the other, and but for that, Orangeburg county would have been ?40,000 in the hole today. Why this road tax was not put in the re ports, as in other counties, I do not know, unless to give you and others an excuse to take advantage of new county advocates. Here are the true figures and I defy the proper county officials to deny them: Orangeburg, 1907 3 mills. Lexington, 1907 3Yz " Total 6*4 Mills. Average 3*4 " Bamberg 3 mills. Lee 4% Total 7% mills. Average 6% " A difference of a little over yz mill in favor of Orangeburg and Lexington. A part of Lee's levy is to pay interest on Kershaw railroad bonds for which she was in no way to blame. In spite of Lee's high levy let us grant, for the sake of argument, that Calhoun's levy will be 3~/z mills. Lexington's levy is 3*4 and where is the man, in view of the increased advantages in other ways, that would balk on the difference? Let the public, however, be not deceived. The Dispatch admits that an extra levy is a dire necessity to help the. miserable roads of the county. Besides this, you are moving Heaven and earth to kill the dispensary which will entail additional taxation. For these reasons you know, whether you confess it or not, that nobody from Lexington will be hurt who lives within the lines. < The average tax levy for county purposes of all the counties in the State is 12.8 mills. The average tax levy for same purpose of the new counties of Bamberg, Cherokee, Dorchester, Florence, Greenwood and Lee i9 12 mills. If" this does not knock all the props from under you against new county I would like to know the reason why. But, you harp long and loud, upon the double expense of running two governments and sets of officers where there was one before. This question puzzles interested newspapers, old county officials and those set of fassilized notions and methods, but is simple to modern, progressive observers. One thing is legitimate competion, making two blades of grass grow where one grew before. Two doctors thrive where one starved; two merchants succeed where one failed. Same with banks, newspapers and counties. In smaller counties dis tances and time are saved which mean monejr. Let us analyze your argument: Bamberg has a levy of 3 mills; Barnwell from which Bamberg was carved, exclusively, has a levy of mills. If your contention is correct the levy of each would be 6% mills. Greenwood and Abbeville in same ratio. As a matter of fact these counties are among the lowest in the State with as good officials, admittedly, as Orangeburg and Lexington have. A man who is satisfied with present conditions; who is opposed to a judicious and reasonable remodeling of old, large and inconvenient counties is an enemy of progress and advancement and that is all there is to it. You are still disturbed about Calhoun's court house and jail and dis posed to sling slurs at the citizens or | this town guaranteeing ?20,000 for building same. I will pay your expenses, both ways, to St. Matthews and entertain you while here for an investigation. If you find anything "fishy" you are welcome to expose it in your columns. You know that you are indulging in the veriest rot about a ?50,009 court house and jail for a small county. I challenge you to an investigation of those at Bamberg and Dorchester and leave it to the judges as to their quality and efficiency. The smallest "dig" that you tried to make in our ribs was when you wrote as follows: "You had better tell the people that it will require a 10 to 15 mill tax levy on their property for the additional sum necessary to put up their court house and jail." This was nothing, more nor less, than a sly, court attempt to deceive the people into believing that this levy would be indefinite if forced on them, as everybody knows that bonds are issued for this purpose when built by the county. Your publishing that statement was prima facia evidence that you thought ' ji the people were ignoramuses ana could not see through the veiled insinuation. But, after all, are you patriotic and consistent in your course? You denied selfish motives attributed to you and divested yourself as follows: "We did not tell a reliable citizen at Lexington court house that we would always be found fighting the cutting of Lexington county so j long as our bread and meat depended upon the newspaper business." You deny the above and substitute a statement which is not plausible as no stranger would have noted such an innocent remark. Fortunately, a third party was present and you are welcome to publish his version. You know that neither of these gentlemen would lie on you for the whole of Lexington county. I quote from a letter kindly written me by the "reliable citizen" of Sandy Run whose identity is at your disposal when requested: "He (Mr. Harman) asked me if the people in the proposed new county were not very bitter against him on account of the position he took in the matter. I replied that they were not, as far as I knew. He then said, being a newspaper man he was obliged to write as he had, but if he lived in the proposed territory, he undoubtedly would be in favor of the new county and it would certainly be a dandy little county." It is inconceivable to me, in view of the above and your published attacks on the measure, how a hightoned Christian gentleman's conscience can sleep on an easy pillow when practicing such double-dealing upon an honored citizenship. I leave it to you to reconcile your "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" tactics before a fair minded public. Boiled down to a legitimate analysis, your position simply is that Calhoun county would be a good thing for you as a citizen of Sandy Run but you are selfish enough to deny that advantage to those who live there, because it pinches you commercially. I quote again: "We have never contendedt.bat Calhoun county would not be a good county but we do not wish to give up a portion of our good citizenship to help form it." Ah! there is the rub. Then why not leave the matter with them since you, at ; last, confess that they are going into I a good and safe county with manifold I advantages and conveniences which they do not now enjoy. I am truly ; jealous of your profound devotion to these people, of late. Though a read ? mi. _ T\1 4-~U In'rl er vi x ue uioy&iivu dijuuc <j? oumu uu, I had never known your sincere affection for them in such a bubbling way until the Calhoun proposition bobbed up. The grand old "Dutch Fork," Hollow Creek, Batesburg, Leesville and even Piatt Springs must now shift for themselves. Your warm, editorial and reportorial wing snuggles only the blue hen's brood, of Sandy Run, these days. No gushing appeals to the "Fork" politicians to see that their grand section gets its due representation with heavy II mill taxation; no tall, intellectual timber now grows except on Sandy Run; no rattlesnakes are now killed elsewhere and the finest melons, on earth, spring from her fertile soil. You say that I "want Calhoun county worse than a child wants a toy." I do not want it bad enough to sing one song in the public prints for it but chant an humble soliloquy in its favor to private friends in order that I might not lose "guine or comm ." You have clutched both sides of the fence, with toes and fingers, so long until it naturally strikes you very peculiarly when you see a man take a bold, positive and aggressive stand j on any matter of public concern. I have no apologies to make for being in the thick of this fight when I think of the staunch and strong citizenship of both counties who are as anxious as myself for greater development, better roads, better schools, greater conveniences and advantages.

Wertz, which occurred on Saturday morning, August 10th, at 9:22 o'clock, at the parsonage at China Grove, N. C., wrhere he was pastor of Lutheran Chapel and Center Grove churches. Pastor Wertz had long been a sufferer from Bright's disease, but in his last on? ? 4-^ -u;0 ^^1.. iimess was cuiiiiiicu iv ins vcu uiiij two days. His death was a great shock to the people of his pastorate, as well as a severe bereavement to his family?a wife, two sons and two daughters. The funeral service, attended by nearly two thousand people, was held last Sunday afternoon in Lutheran Chapel church, where he preached his last sermon not quite two weeks before his death. His body was laid to rest in the cemetery near by amidst tears of his devoted parishioners ar.d the people of former pastorates which he had served in the North Carolina Synod. The service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Geo. H. . Cox, president of the synod, who . paid an appropriate tribute to his memory, and tributes to his work as ' pastor, preacher and friend were spoken also by Revs. B. S. Brown, J. 1 L. Morgan, N. D.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 15.?A Nebraska wife is mistress in her own home, says the supreme court of the state. The mother-in-law is subordinate. Minnie Brewer, of Platte county, sued her husband for maintenance. She declared he brought his mother to the home and allowed his parents to boss the wife. The supreme court's decision is crisp. It says: 4'Every wife is entitled to a home to correspond \*ith the circumstances and condition of her husband, over which she shall be permitted to preside as mistress. A wife does not forfeit her right to maintenance by refusing to live in a home with and control of the husband's mother." Bequest of Strikers.

An athletic young man, who was on the way to get hi9 marriage license, found himself at last in a room where, as a matter of fact, candidates for the police force were being examined. The moment he entered the room the surgeon said, "Strip!" "What's that?" said the astonished young fellow. "Get your slothes off," replied the surgeon. He did so and his chest measurement was taken. j Next the surgeon said, "Jump over I this horizontal bar." i . He tried the leap, but tell to the ground. 1 'Double up your knees," commanded the surgeon, "and touch the floor with your hands " Again he tried and failed. "Now run around the room ten times.' The young man replied. "That I'll not. I'd rather remain single." "Single?" said the doctor. "Yes single. I'd like to know what all thi9 has to do with my getting my ! marriage license." And then the mistake as to the room was solved.?Rochester Herald.
