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."

BOWSER,HE ROLLS
takes a Little Whirl at the Skating
Rink.
HE FAILS TO SHOW 'EM HOW.
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

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

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

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

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."

The Printer's Bream.
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."
