Cerrtury-Old Ledger Unearthed In
Marietta, O., Makes Some Rather
Interesting Reading.
Marietta, O., in 1797 paid $409.04
for the maintenance of the government,
according to a ledger Just
brought to light from its hiding place
of many years.
December 2S, 1797, was the date ot
the first entry in the book. Six years
later Ohio became a state.
The county at that time was three
times as large as it is today. The tax
duplicate showed a total of $1,310. In
the territory allotted to Washington
county in 1797 were the towns of
Marietta, Gallipolis, Middleton, Adams,
Waterford, Salem and Bellepree now
x>eipi e.
Six collectors were appointed, with
headquarters in Marietta, and these
men made their rounds in the "wild
land" at the risk of their lives for a
wage of $0.55. Indians surrounded the
county, and In some instances the villages,
so the tax collector was often
lucky to return "body whole."
In 1798, according to the ledger, the
district was divided into nine sections,
instead of six, and nine collectors
were chosen. Names of the men are
given and their places of residence.
The commission chose a board ol
three members and named a chairman
in that year.
Meetings were held at the home ol
Joseph C. Lincoln, a Revolutionary
war hero, and a member of the original
Ohio company which settled in Marietta,
the first town in Northwest ter
ritcry.
Judges received 75 cents a day
whenever they worked on the bench
the ledger records show. There wer<
quarterly sessions and a judge foi
each session. Six cents a mile wai

! SAYS THE HERALD IS WRONG.
Allendale Citizen Tells Why Highway
Link Has Not Been Built.
The following is from the last issue
of the Allendale County Citizen. The
Herald meant no offence to Allendale
county in what it said of the Allendale
link of the highway, and if we
were in error, we gladly stand corrected:
j "The last issue of The Bamberg
Herald carried an article with reference
to the completion of the Savannah-Columbia
road through Bamberg
county, and discusses, at length,
j the proposed link in the same road
I in the counties of Allendale and
i Orangeburg. The Herald is well
; pleased with the Bamberg county
{ link, declaring that the road is so
; ennd that it is almost impossible to
1 refrain from breaking the speed laws.
The Herald, we think, has been misinformed
as to Allendale county's attitude.
The Herald says:
t " 'Now that this link of an import.
ant highway has been completed, the
people of the county are interested
in the construction of links in the adjoining
counties of Orangeburg and
! Allendale. It is understood that the
. Allendale authorities have had a prei
liminary survey made, and that funds
i have been arranged for for the construction
of the highway through Al!
lendale county. However, while no
public announcement has been made
1 to this effect, it is also understood
that considerable opposition has developed
to the building of the high'
way as the route has been mapped
[ out. This route puts the road several
. miles from Allendale, and it is said
that the town is up in arms because
it will not come to Allendale.
" 'Various mthods of pleasing the
f people of Allendale have been pro
? posed, it is said, one Deing tnat a
i 'spur' be built from the highway to
r Allendale. The state highway com,
mission, it is stated, will not look
with favor upon changing the route
' so as to go through Allendale, as this
would not be a direct line.'
1 "In Qrder that The Herald and the
I pople of Bamberg county, as well as
those of Allendale county who have
, not been closely reading the activij
ties of the Allendale county board of
commissioners, all of which are regu'
larly published in this paper, the
1 Citizen is going to tell just why work
has not begun on this important link
? of the important highway.
"The survey of the road from Salkehatchie
swamp, through Ulmers
. and Sycamore to Fairfax, has been
i completed, but the funds now available
for the work necessary on the.
bridges over the swamp is not large
. I large enough for all of the work..
: j About $60,000, including the federal'
i i aid, is available. This is sufficient for
- j the bu'lding of the road, but is not j
. enough to build the road, bridges and
, causeways. In the absence of a fund
! adequate for the ent're work the
board of commissioners of this counl
tv. began communication with the
> state highway engineer, with the re-<
- suit that the highway department
i said that it would be agreeable if the
> county built the road this year and
the causeways and bridges next year, J
J and it is quite likely that work on
the road will soon begin.
"However, this does not mean that
the construction of the bridges and
; the building of the causeways will be
long deferred. We think we can
Dromise our friend, the editor of The i
Herald, and the people of this and
: Bamberg county, that funds will soon
. be available for the proper construc,
tion of highways and bridges through
out Allendale county. There has never
i been any disposition on the part of |
s the people of Allendale to divert the
i road so that it would run through Al
lendale, as the route proposed and
1 surveyed seemed the most direct.
F "In the meantime, we want to assure
The Herald that the Citizen is
l shoulder to shoulder with it on any
: movement that will bring good .roads
i to this section, regardless of cost."

? ed but one-half of our troops was
? equally false. Records of Sims's office
show that we escorted 82.75 per cent.
? of the American troops.
"His statement that we escorted
. only one-third of the merchant vessels
that come here is false. The records
show that we provided 45 per
cent, of the ocean escort vessels.

small a part we played upon the sea
in time of war he proceeded to tell us
that in time of peace we should play
no part at all. He declared that
Great Britain, because of her geographical
position, must control the
sea and that we could depend upon
her transporting our goods to foreign
markets and therefore we did
not need a merchant marine. He declared
we should develop the Great
West instead of developing a merchant
marine.
"When I took issue with him he
declared that even if we thought a
merchant marine advisable that we
could not develop one, because we
could not compete with Great Britain
without the payment of subsidies, and
for this the people would not stand.
"So convinced was I that his Anglophilia
made it impossible for him to
entertain a purely American view
point that when 1 returned to mis
country I advised one in authority
that for an American view they might
as well appeal to the British Admiralty
as to Sims.
Thinks English Ttesent Flattery.
"Having visited the battlefields of
Ypres and the Great Fleet during the
war. I was impressed with the magnificent
part played by British arms
in the war, and nothing this hyphenated
politician could say will either
add to or detract from the glory of j
the English people. His efforts u, !
flatter them by slandering the army j
and the navy of the United States will
meet with the contempt of every true
Englishman as it does of every true j
American.
"Sims says he was admonished at;
the Xavy Department not to let the J
English pull the wool over his eyes, j
it is none of our business pulling!
I
their chestnuts out of the fire. We j
would just as soon fight Great Brit- j
ani as Germany.' Daniels emphati- j
cally declares he did not tell him this, i
If no one told him, then Sims's state- \
ment is deliberately false. If a su-j

then Sims is violating confidential instructions
and deserves the condemnation
of every American and a dishonorable
discharge from the navy.
"While Pershing was fighting for
an independent army co-operating
with our Allies, Sims was urging that
all our naval activities be directed
by the British Admiralty. Admiral
Wilson in France, maintained our
NAVY YARD MAX TELLS EXPERIENCE
WITH FERROLAX.
R. X. Black Says Xew Discovery Has
IYoven a Blessing to Him.
"There may be other medicines
as good as Ferrolax, but you will
have to go a long way to find them,"!
said R. N. Black, a well-known employee
at the Navy Yards and who
lives at 184 King street, Charleston,
S. C., a few days ago.
"I don't believe any man ever suf
iered irom neadacne any worse tnan
I did," continued Mr. Black, "and of
'all the different medicines I have taken
during the past trying to get relief
from this trouble, Ferrolax is
the only thiDg that has ever done me
any good at all. I not only suffered
from headaches, but my entire system
was in a badly run-down condition,
and I just felt weak and worn out all
the time. I had very little energy or
strength and never felt like getting
up in the morning.
"Then I heard about Ferrolax and
decided to give it a trial and it turn
ed out to be the very medicine I needed.
Why, in a little or no time after
I commenced taking this wonderful
medicine I began to feel better and I
just kept on getting better until I
am now completely free from those
troubles and feel as well and strong
as I ever did in my life. Yes, sir,
I am a strong believer in Ferrolax and
am more than glad to recommend it
to the world."

Admiral Strauss went to England, j
and while I do not know how true it

all out of step but Sims.

! bel.eve he is telling the truth when
I he says that he did not tell the truth
in that letter. He says now he made
those untrue statements because he
believed the Department wanted him
to do so and he wished to support his
superior officer. Further, that he did
jiot want valuable information to
reach the enemy. Does anyone believe
this? Isn't it more likely true
that he knew the Department would
produce this letter and by it prove
all his charges untrue and he therefore
anticipated its production, even
though it necessitated his making the
humiliating confession that what he
