rt- is not definitely known just ex

.curred or in what manner the gun wa
discharged, bur ir is learned that h
and several other children were in
room together playing with a gun am
!in some manner the gun was discharg
ed, the load entered the body of \ oun;
Ernest in the side, a little in the had
inflicting a mortal wound from whicl
he shortly after died.
Medical a-sistanee was immediate];

touched a fatal spot and the immorta
soul of the little fellow took its ever
lasting flight to the God who gave it

Lexington's Finances.
The autracfc made by County Audi
tor, W. D. Dent, shows that the rea
and personal property of Lexingtoi
county for 1911 was 15,601,897.00, an<
that for 1912 calls for a total valuatio
, $5,395,317.00. This decrease in valua
tion being dne to the fact, that th
county lost $288,500.00 in valuatio:
from that portion of Lexington whicl
annexed to Richland county. The to
tal to be collected for the fiscal yea
1912 aggregates one hundred an<
.thirty thousand eight hundred an
eighty-six and 91-100 dollars, as fol
lows:
State, mills lory 9 31,023.0
Coonty and past indebtedness,
6mills levy ..... 32,371.9
Speoial county, bridges 1^
mills levy 8,092.9

$3 commutation road tax... 12,342.0
Dogs 2,023.5
* Total $130,886.9
The above amount exceeds thi
amount collected in 1911 by more thai
$10,000 being largely due to the $3.0
commutation tax being charged alonj
with other taxes.
