' ""f1 I CARD FROM DR. KARMAX. To the Editor of The Dispatch-News: Will you please -allow, rne- space , in your columns in which I am going to write about the high and unjust taxes, which I hope I will be able to show you some of it and why and what is the cause of it. The first ? . * man I found out which was the cause of it was the State Superintendent of Education. When we had a good one teacher school that was taught 5 months' in the winter ana in tnese i five months from 700 to 800 hours; were, taught. The cost of it was $250. There was from 40 to 50 pupils that went to the Delingo school. Some of the patrons told me i ' I that J. E. Swearingen advised them to have an election and put two or more schools together and have a graded school and vote four more mills on for the school, if they would do that he would give the school State aid of $100 then the children could he taught ready for College here at home. The patrons did this and they taught the school one winter. The highest scholars at that time were in the ninth grade and the next winter there was four of the scholars ready for the tenth grade, and my daughter told me that they were not going to teach the tenth grade, so she hear^. i The next winter she went and reentered the ninth grade over and in the | mean time I stopped and saw tne ; principal and asked why the tenth grade was not taught. He said, "J. E. Swearingen told him that he should not teach that grade." The principle said he was ready, willing and wanted to teach it. I went and saw the State Superintendent about the tenth grade being taught and he said he wouldn't endorse any man teaching over three grades,, if I want- j ed the tenth grade taught put in one I or two more teachers. The principal! only had twenty-seven scholars at that time. Now ladies and gentlemen, do we need any such a man in office. The Pineview school has now from 100 to 115 pupils and is taught 7 months, the cost is about $1500 and the children only get about 700 hour's teaching. A few winters ago there was a State Teachers Association called in Columbia and J. E. Swearingen ordered the trustees to pay the teachers for being there. Some of the teachers s^id that they got paid. Also j ... - . . 7 J when the flu was in the school and : the school was closed on account of it, he ordered them to be paid again. Now. voters did we have such confusion in the school before J. E. Swearingen got to be state superin-j tendenfV { Also do you call that just taxes? v (; t * If yoa clo,- I don't; furthermore the j Gospel don't. /When my daughter went to Br$?kland school before she was evef examined at the commencement of the school when nobody knew what kind of examination she would j , > I make, she came home and said that j it wasn't any use for her . to go on j that she would not get any certificate j from the board at Columbia. I went down and saw the principal; about it and-to know what was the! mater. He said one of the boards told I him that she would not get afiy cer-1 / j tificate and that Swearingen did notreconize any of the doings: of Pineview school. It looks to me like aj man in office should know no one i and know every one that is just and J right. The State aid that J. E. I Swearingen is giving to the school to vote more mills on. Is that not paying to the schools to vote more mills on the taxpayers? It looks to me as j such. Do we need a man in office | that keps getting taxes on the tax- i payers. It looks to me that the.voters would better be governed by the Gospel's teaching than J. E. Swearingen's teaching. Now he is a candidate for State; Superintendent of Education and if j you' voters will take my advice that I j gave you six or eight years ago on him; to get some other man in office and let him tend to his own affairs. I heard some people say that they voted for him for sympathy be- \ i cause he is blind. Have we not got a. blind hospital to take care of such j as Swearingen and I and when you-j vote for him for sympathy you just i as weli appropriate $1,000 to me for', I think I have been as useful to my j country as Swearingen. The legislature has appropriated thousands of dollars to him at his request and who j pays that but the taxpayers. It looks! to me if Swearingen is going to pay the expense of the school he ought to pay it a!? together and. not have the county helping to n?y Before' J. E? Swearingen got in office there was no one but the county paying the expenses of the school. Each county board before Swearinen got in issued | the teachers the certificate. Now i I they got an extra board in Columbia for that business. It looks to me like the board is costing the taxpayers. \ It looks to me like Swearingen dorTl care if the state gets bankrupt. Now1 tb the voters again 1 ask you to let Swearingen tend to his own direct af- j fairs amd let's see if we can't get an ! office-holder in his place that won't cost the taxpayers as much as it has been costing. Hoping that in the future you will take my advice as I am writing for the beterment of the jjcupitr DR. J AS. HARM AN. GOOD PAPER. We feel that The Record in its ex-1 cellent 25th anniversary edition last} Sunday deserves much credit forj I their thought and energy in getting j j up and sending out such a valuable j j and attractive issue. Its illustrations.J of numerous business houses and pleasant faces "way back in antebellum days" up to the present time were striking and remindful of what has passed and the growth of business today. Though with a great deal of satisfaction1 it carries us back to sad! ness, because many of the old Columi [ bian9 with whom we have had years? of business transactions and pleasant j , relations have passed over the river j with their kindnesses and association only to be remembered. We also feel that directly and in directly the columns of the old Lexington Dispatch and its influence was h?lpful in the upbuilding of Columbia, because being our main mart, we have always contended that which was good for Lexington and her people was also good for Columbia and her people. "Uncle Josh." , , ? t IN LOVING MEMORY OF MRS. MANANAH PJSH DUNBAR j Weep not that her toils are over, Weep not that her race is run, Gorl grant that we may rest as calmly, When our work like hers is done. He bids her rest for a season, For the pathway had grown toe steep, And folded in fair green pasture : He giveth his loved one sleep. Mrs. Dunbar was a daughter of Wiley and -Percilla Rish, was born November 24, 1846, died May 9, 1922 making her stay- on earth seventy-five! * J years, three months and fifteen days. She was married.to James Elmore Dunbar February 3, 1872, to this un.ion was born seven children, one having preceded her to the spirit land. She was a member of Florence Bap-1 I tist church for over fifty years. A j faithful member, a devoted w.ife and a loving mother has gone to receive her reward. She leaves a husband, and brother, M. C. Rish of Broxton, Ga.; three sons and three daughters, fifteen grand children, a host of relatives and ^friends to mourn her departure. She was. laid to rest in Florence cemetery. Our hearts breathe the prayer that the bereaved husband may be able to realize as never before that God had in view the spiritual welfare of the loved one. May he be able to say with David, "She cannot come now ba"k to me, but I can go to her."- May God's blessings rest on the heartbroken husband and the children.

The next dose of calomel you take J may salivate you. It may shock your, i liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel is dangerous. It is mercury, quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening } ou . Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than asty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. Don't take calomel! It can not be trusted any more than a leopard or a < wild-cat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone which straightens you right up and makes you feel fine. No salts neees- ? sary. Give it to the children because it Is perfectly harmless and can not salivate. _ ' ' New York's Police Commissioner has gone to Europe to study crime conditions.
