FINE HORSES KILLED.
J. .N Kirven Suffers Loss of Horses
From Storm at Darlington.
Darlington, S. <3., May 20 ? For the
first time since April 16 this city and
vicinity was today visited by a rain
fall, which was accompanied by high
winds and considerable lightning dam
age resulting.
A heavy loser was J. N. Kirven, the
well known stockman, two of whose
celebrated horses, "Tidal Wave" and
"Baby" were killed when lightning
struck the building in which they
were kept. The same stroke also kill
ed a line hog, injured a mule, which
is expected to die, and set fire to Mr,
Klrven's barn. The blaze, however,
was quickly extinguished by a num
ber of farm hands, who had taken
refuge in the barn when the storm
broke. Several fences Were levelled
and many trees uprooted by the wind.
? Whtte the damage done by Uu* diH
turbance is a matter of great regret
to (his community, still the rain, the
first In about a month and a half, was
! a blessing to the farmers.

REPLIES TO FREEHOLDER.
Mr. Blackmon on Th? Rural
Police Proposition.
Mi*. IJdlior: Kiu<-e noticing lu your
your last issue au article h>1k?io<1 by
?? KiciIk ililn." Ililnk It in > duty to re
ply to It i?? self defease.
Mr. Freeholder stated that in order
to pay t lu* sulurlcM of tltw rurul ix)*
lire it woul?l necessitate an extra levy
of two mills on all taxable property in
the eounty, Now 1 wouhi like for Mr.
Freeholder to figure a two mill levy
on (live lnllllou dollars) ami
U& if the result is #10,000 (ten thou
nan?l dollars. Then if the two mill
levy on this amount is IJOjOOO. and all
foilld of these rural polfiv's salaries
cannot exceed #H,tMX) should they he
paid tin* lUgllGjM salaries the law will
j>erniit, there Is a remainder of
of course we tux payers do not fiflW
to tiave a two mill extra levy on our
property when a fractional part of one
mill will pay what Mr. Freeholder suys
it will take to pay4 Now. Mr. Free
holder Hhould have Htated facts In this
case, for he was in i*?dtlon to do so.
more especially that a misrepresenta
tion of this kind would do me an in
justice- Why? Because when I pre
sented a |>etltlon some would sign It
and say well It will make taxes a
little higher, hut I think It would l)e
well worth the money to .have them.
The next freeholder possibly would ask
the question how ahout taxes. Now I
want you to read the law on the rural
police salaries and his duties publish
ed lu this paper, and you will see wfcy
I told those who asked me about rais
ing the taxes that It \yould not raise
them but very little If any, l>ecause
the law says that the salary should
come out of the flues caused to be
collected by said police and the remain
der of these tines shall go to the good
roads, or bad roads, I do not remem
ber. Then comes In a provision that
if he does not collect a sufficient a
mount to pay his salary It shall l>e the
duty of the Auditor to add on taxes to
the amount which w?"lrt ,>e necessary
to pay him.
I, But suppose they keep In reserve the
flues to pay some other indebtedness
What fractional part of a mill will it
take on $5, 000, 000 to pay these officers.
Less than % of a mill ? the 72-100 part
of a mill will give you, If multiplied
on $5,000,000, the exact amount of
their salaries; ? the ?otal of which Is
only $3,600.
Now, If my statement and caculatlon
Is correct there Is a mistake In last
Issue in an article signed Freeholder,
of $0,400. You can plainly see why I
am replying to this article for the rea
ders of this article or the believer of
It would say that I misrepresented It
to them while they were reading the
misrepresentation published by Mr.
Freeholder. I will say this that If
Mr. Freeholder does not want to give
me a fair deal to please give us our
money's worth while In position to do
so. .... ? _ ? ? -
- We, the freeholders, who signed this
petition asking for a rural police, do
not expect the l?oard to recommend
such officer until we shall have present
ed a petition properly drawn and with
one-third of the freeholders slgna^
tures. Then we do expect Mr. Free
holder to get busy and take such steps
as necessary to do so, even though
these steps do not suit him, he Is only
one freeholder and Is likely to be mis
taken for such has been the case with
him. !" *"
Mr.- Freeholder-gayS lift Advocates
rurftT "PoIIceTiut does not think it the
proper time to have them commission
ed, but if one-third of the freeholders
of a towftshlp ask for It in the way
the law has provided for them to do,
then it Is none of Mr. Freeholder's bus
iness when they are commissioned, for
it does not appear to me that the Leg
islature made the law for him alone,
but for a good many others. A man

On motion of Mr. Stephens, each

the public road between I^ancaster and

range throuxh him for a date to go
over the proposed route with the Gov-,
eminent Engineer.
A resolution was offered and passed,
that proposed, cosd be so Improved and
constructed that* ailf grades will be re
duced to 5 per cfent, the road widened
to 30 feet aud straightened wherever
practicable.
A sub-committee was later appoint

Committee, composed of the following
| members : W. L. I)ePass, John W.
t Corbet t, and 8. F. Braslngton. This
committee was authorised and instruct

interests represented in Camden ? for
the puijwse of raising funds to aid in
k{TiIs work. This committee will call on
the business men and all others inter

the proposed route, reaching from the
City limits of Camden to Clyburns.
The amount asked for from the City

EIGHTEEN WARRANTS
Issued For Violation of Federal
Quarantine Laws.
'flu- Kovernuiout men in this county
employed in ti?k eradication work
state thai they arc meeting with great
success that many of the farmer* are
taking readily to the work ami ho far
nine dipping Yfits have Ihuu erected
In various parts of thin county. Far
mers who have tun I them placed on
their places are J. s. Dunn, L- 1.

M. Smith. (Jap. T. l.lt t l??, ICIinore J9s?

inutility vat will noon be under con
struction at Lugoff.
A Chronicle mini, in company with
Mr. Hearden, the lns|H?ctor' who luis
churgo of th?? work in tliia township,
Visited (hi* farm of Mr. (?eo. T. I4ttle
Monday afternoon, to witness the dip
ping i ?f about fifty head of cattle on
this place. Besides carrying the cows
through thi? process Mr. Little gives
his largo herd of hoga a hath every
two wm)kn in the solution which frees
tiie swine of lice. Mr. Honry Owens
who Is the overseer on this place tolls
uh that Hince the plncing of the vat
that lie notices a decided scarcity of
tiles on the plantation, and he attri
butes It to the fact that the flies are
attracted by the solution and the min
ute they taste of the im>1soii they are
seen to sicken and die. , \
The Inspector tells us that on Mr.
K. T. Mlekle's place it has been the
custom to dip every animal on the
farm ? including hogs, sheep, goats and
dogs ? that he finds the solution ex
cellent for ridding dogM of fleas.
Another place in the county where
the dipping is attracting attention Is
on the farm of Mickey -J ones Co., at
Liberty Hill. . Every two w^eks crowds
gather to watch the cows us they are
made to dive into the vat, and it is
said that It has become so Interesting
to the negro farm hands that they
can l>e seen to stray off from the vat
and in a few minutes return, leading
a couple of cows that they have got
ten, from nearby places to make the
plunge. In this way they are not
overlooking any of the cattle, and ma
ny of the farms ^fuid pastures will be
released from the quarantine about
the latter part of- July.
So far they have met with but little
resistance on the part of cattle own
ers in getting them to see the need for
the dipping of cattle. However, a
good mapy parties have violated the
law in regard to driving quarantined
cattle on the public highways, and we
understand that warrants have been
Issued and turned over to the sheriff
.to be served on eighteen who have dla*
regarded this law and they will be
made to appear before the courts. The
law under which these warrants were
sworn out reads
"Any person who shall move live
stock from these premises wlthbut
written permission from the State Vet
erinarian or an authorized live stock
inspector, shall be guilty of a misde
meanor, and on, conviction shall be
punished for each and every violation
by a fine not less than ten dollars nor
mo.re than one hundred dollars, or by
imprisonment not less than ten days
nor more than sixty days, or by such
fine and imprisonment." ?
