Resolutions Adopted at Indignation Meeting The following resolntione .. were, adopted at the indignation meeting I hold of. P.hnTrin nn Saturdav. March 25: "Whereas, there is much complaint among the taxpayers of the Dutch Fork, Lexington County, S. C., in regard to the unequal distribution of the work of the county chain gang and the neglect of the main public roads of the Fork and the effort to divert the main trunk-line of the Columbia and Newberry road at Chapin by way of Lexington, thus doing, or attempting to do, further''injury to a large* number of the Dutch Fork; therefore "Resolved 1st?. We insist that the Dutch Fork be given her part of the work of the chaingang according to taxation. "2nd. Since the main trunk-line of the Columbia and Newberry read leading through the Fork is one of the oldest and most important roads of the county, connecting as it does the npr?rtntitrv with the eanital of the State: , ?w?J , it is the sense of this meeting that the time due the Fork by the chaingan^ should be put on this road at once. ? "3rd. That we deem the neglect of appointing overseers and ordering them to warn out the bands to work | the public roads, an intentional iDjus! tice by the county supervisor. I "4th. We consider the act of collecting the commutation tax and not using it on the sections of roads from which collected, a violation of the law as well as an injustice to the section from which collected. "5th. We denounce taxation without representation or remuneration, as a usurpation of unlawful authority. "6th. Why this discrimination? For what sin are we being punished? "7th. That these resolutions be sent to the Lexington Dispatch, Leesville News, and the Columbia State with the request to publish."

Joshed as "Old Beeswax" and Told Not to Put 'Em On?Home For Repairs, as Mrs. Bowser Had Predicted?He Hears a Few Remarks. By M. QUAD. [Copyright. 1910, by Associated Literary Press.] THE other evening as Mr. Bowser got tip from the dinner ta wj uie ue meuuuneu m a way uc meant to be careless that be would be out for two or three hours that evening. "Is it one of your club nights?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "I may go around to seme club." Mrs. Bowser didn't press the subject, though a bit curious, and he waited around for five minutes before saying: "There's no mystery about it 1 am going out with Barnes. He's been at me for a month to go to the roller rink, and I've finally consented. He wants me to show him a few tricks on the rollers." "What rollers?" "Why. roller skates. He's got the r?rn70 hn<1?rmt prprv nierht and braa ging what a roller he is." "But what do you know about roller skating? The only time you ever had a pair on you fell and jarred the whole house and was lame for a week." "Excuse me, madam," said Mr. Bowser as he drew himself up, "but I beg to dispute you. I don't say that I have had any great practice, but I have looked into the theory carefully, and I think I can show Barnes and all the rest of them a few wrinkles." "Are you going to take an ambulance and a surgeon along?' she asked as he reached for his hat "That will do, Mrs. Bowser! You'd oppose me as a matter of course, but don't try t* be funny abput it. I shall go with Barnes. I shall put on rollers. I shall cut pigeon wings and figure flfii FRESH YOUNG MAN ADVISES HIM. eights and throw in a few Greek crosses and Roman scrolls. It will take the stiffness out of that left knee. You needn't sit up for me." "If you are badly iajured I suppose they will take you to the hospital aDd notify me?" Mr. Bowser choked back a reply, descended the steps with dignity and walked away to join Barnes on the corner. Mrs. Bowser read her book until bedtime, but before going upstairs J ~ 4-oVvIa nnm. BOe HUU OUL UU n S1UC iouIC Hit luu pbor, the witch hazel, the brandy, a roll of antiseptic and a box of salve. Mr. Bowser had made but oue single trial of roller skating, and that was in his attic at home. lie had wabbled along for twenty feet and then met his Waterloo. He had confidence, however. He had read that roller skating de-'pended altogether on confidence. In his confidence he had bragged to Barnes. In his confidence he bragged again as tbey walked along the street. He smiled in a knowing way and said: "I'm not after a gold medal for fancy skating, but 1 think I'll opeu the eyes cf the crowd a little before I'm through. I'll play off at first, and you watch my zigzags when I get down to business. I'm no swan or gazelle, but I think I can cut a few dodges?just a few." Bowser Reaches the Rink. The hall was crowded. It was not \ until Mr. Bowser saw .*100 rollers rolling around that his eoutidenee in himself weakened. It suddenly occurred to him ihu. his theories nrght he wrong and that be should have j.ut ! them into practice in private. IV was | trying to brave up against the uneasy feeling when a bad faced young man, ! who was a spectator, sidled up to him j and whispered: "Don't put 'em cn. old Beeswax? doD't you do It!" "What do you mean, sir, by addressing ma in tht< mrmner?'' "Don't put on the rollers. Yer too fat and ioggy. You hain't got no hair to fall on. Yer might roll down hill in a bar'l, but you ain't no pigeon winger on skates!" Mr. Bowser got mad all over, and from that instant his determination was taken. He would skim that floor as the gull skims the sea, and after the skimming act he would make that bad faeed young mm beg his pardon for the insulting remarks. He sat down then and there and strapped on the skates he had hired at the door. - "How are yon going to start in T asked Barries, as all was ready. "He'll start in with a fliphop aDd a | dumdum!" chuckled the bad faced ! young man. "When be gets out dere i ! on rollers dere'U be a circus to beat de | band. Look at de heft of him! Look at de curves in his bind legs! I wouldn't j miss de circus for a hat full of cigars!" vrae rp'tf'hino' nut for thp young inan with the intention of wrecking his life when Barnes patched up a temporary peace and suggested I that the curlycues begin. 'Mr. Bowser looked up at the heavens and down to the earth. There was no escape. The other skaters began to clear the floor for him. "Look at him?he's lost his sand!" shouted the bad face. "He's too innocent!'* shouted others. "TWi-Ar trr? tn Hdp a mule." advised a policeman as he came forward. "Bowser, you go in and astonish 'em," whispered Barnes. "They take you for a greenhorn. Play off a few minutes and then go at the pigeon wings." He Loses Sand. "I?I think I'll let it go till some other time," was the trembling reply. "But you can't, man?you can't. You'd be mobbed!" "Can't I go home and see Mrs. Bowser and then come back again? Mrs. Bowser always cheers me up." "Heavens, man, come along with i you: iaKe it easy uuui juu ^.ei nit? ; rhythm of the thing." "Oh, he'll get the rhythm all right. I all right!" grinned the bad face, and it was those words that decided Mr. Bowser. He was helped out on the floor and left there alone. Five hundred had their eyes on him. After a minute of silence 500 people began shouting at him. Bowser moved. lie moved again He moved for the third time. Confidence came. He could do the trick. He smiled and started out with a rush. His theory about roller skating was that it should be rushed at to a conclusion. He rushed it. At his first rush his heels shot forward, his body shot backward, and after an instant * -t 1. TT ~ lie came uown wnu a ciuau. at- *.ajuiv down on the back of his brad. He saw a comet, and the tail thereof was a hundred million miles long. He did not hear what the people said, but when he recovered consciousness he had been dragged off the floor and a policeman was saying: "Now, old man, if you have any home to go to you'd better get there. Your line is jumping eight horses and an elephant. you should stick to it ana iet the rollers alone." Mr. Barnes first talked to Mr. Bowser like a brother and then offered to vget a truck to take him home. He called hira a braggart and boaster and said he ought to be mobbed for making a holy show of himself Then he solicitously inquired how many of his legs and backs he had broken and put Ulrt-mA rtri /irATT/1 uic umutc uu iuv vi v 11 v?. Home With a Limp. "But I'm sayin' de old coon orter git de hard chuck!" protested the bad face. "It's faise pretenses. He comes in here"? It took Mr. Bowser an hour to limp home. Mrs. Bowser beard his drag- ! i ging footsteps and came down to open the door. One look told the story. He had met the enemy and the enemy had flopped him on his ear. "Woman." he began as he threw down his hat and hung to a peg of the balltree. "woman"? But Mrs. Bowser stopped him with a i gesture. Then she gently helped him J back to the sitting room, carefully low- j ered him on to'the lounge, and when ' his legs had been straightened out she softly said: . ' >-.? "Poor man! I thought you would change your mind and climb a tree instead of going roller skating. A limb broke, and you came down and struck the whole United States at once. . It may take you years and years to reduce this bump on the back of your head and to get that twist out of your spine, but don't worry. You have a long and happy life before you. and the pigeon wings and curiycues will come again." FOR SALE:?Cheap, one light spring wagon, newly repaired and painted. In Rood condition. Ride B.

Last evening I was talking With a printer aged and grey. Who told me of a dream he had Just afier Christmas day? While a-snoozing in his office The vision came to view; He saw an angel enter, dressed In garments white and new. Said the spirit, "I'm from heaven, The Lord .]ust sent me down To bring you up to glory: Put on your golden crown. iJjl/u vr; luduc: j.j.i,xic7i. (From few received lull pay;) Whiie you've grown poorer and poorer Your business did deeav. "So we need you up in glory, For you have labored bard Until your brow is heavy? You've earned a. great reward.'' Then the angel and the printer Started toward the glory gate; But when passing close to hades Tae angel murmured "Wait? "Here's a nook I wish to show yon? It's the hottest place in fceiJ, Where the dubs who bjai ihe printer In awful torment dwell." The printer saw before him Old patrons by the score; An easy chair and fan he grabbed, And asked lor nothing more. He sat and sat and watched them, Saw them sizzle, scorch, and burn; And his former debtors saw him Whichever way he'd turn. Said the angel; "Come up higher, And the pearly gates we'll see." But, the printer only answered? "Thi9 is heaven enough for me." ?Exchange.
