A NEWSY LETTER
FROM SCRANTON.;
SCHOOL CLOSING?BALL GAME CASUAL-j
TIES?BAKU AND STABLES BUBNEB
-OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Scran ton, May 2-">:?The first
year's term of the graded school
closed Friday, the 21st. The last j
day's work was not interrupted by J
any special exercise?. Friday uight,
D(J L Mann delivered a splendid
address on education at the Baptist:
church. He was given an appreciative
heariug by a well tilled house.
Prof W L Bennett, principal of the
school, and his assistant, Miss Helen
Haddon, gave earnest and faithful (
service in the performance of their j
duties. They left Monday morning!
for their respective homes, carrying
with them the hearty good wishes of
their many friends for a pleasant j
and profitable vacation.
^ A match game of baseball between
k the Olanta and Scran ton teams was;
L played on the local diamond SaturP
day afternoon. The game was at-1
u tended by some unfortunate casual- J
ties which marred tbe pleasure of!
Lj^the contest. J>r C II Pate, an en-I
PRhusi&stic baseballist, while pitching;
for the Scrantou team, swung out
his arm with such force that the
^^bone was suapped between the elbow
and ehonlder. Dr Lynch adjusted
the broken limb, which is doing
Tery well. Corbet Baldwin received j
bad cut on his forehead in aj
Tu mble to gain a base. Another j
K- lwret oue or tw0 ^"gers broken
& 'vjot*' ball. The game ended !
Liu a draw.

WOULD PUBLISH TAX RETURNS.
Our Harpers Correspondent Believes j
Publicity Would Solve Vexed Problem.
Editor Couuty Record:
Your correspondent wishes to
make a few remarks for the consideration
of the overburdened taxpav- i
pers of our county. We recommend i
that the citizens of Williamsburgfi
county be called iu a mass meeting i
some time before next General As-11
sembly meets to ask our delegation j
to enact a law providing for the !<
publication in our county paper off:
every tax return made in the couuty ]
of Williamsburg in 1910 and each
year thereafter. Then we will see i
the property of our county go on the J
tax books. Print each taxpayer's re* i
turu separately. Taxes are a public
obligation, so let the amount each ?
man returns for this purpose be t
made public. s
Now, Mr Editor, I think if you ^
will take this matter up in your pa- l
per and push it to the front, letting f
our taxpayers see the justice aud e
benetits to be derived from this
method, it will be put in force by (
our lawmakers. Ti e pullication of t
returns will have this effect: When i
my neighbor fails to put his property
on the tax book it is natural that I, c
having returned all of my property, 1;
would report to the township board t
the shortage of my neighbor. In r
tais way ttie scnooi tax woum ce o
doubled, our schools would run 0 r
and 8 months, and within two years v
our levy could be considerably cut c
down and all the taxes equitably paid, r
I simply offer this for the cousidera- a
tion of the readers of your paper
and I would like to hear from some s
other tax-payers 011 this subject. I j
believe we need some relief from the J.
present conditions of taxation. I t
offer the above as a key to the relief. t
The taxes from the increase of prop- 0
;.-ty values will pay the expense of v
mbiication more than twice. Let s
-ne hear from you, Mr Taxpayer. ^
The excessive fall of rain has e
caused considerable damage to crops a
in this community. On the 20th r
lust, about 0 o'clock p m, this com- r
munitv was visited by one of the n
heaviest rain-falls in several years. a
Great damage has been done the oat
crop. The writer has had several nnfe
enf in the field for t
CiLICO VI UUV vwww \.M? - _
the past 5 or C days.
The people of this community
have arranged for puttiug a suitable
fence around their cemetery at Harmony
church and otherwise beautifying
the cemetery grounds. The
fencing has been ordered and this
work will be completed in a few
days. We congratulate the people
of this section upon this worthy act
of taking special care of the restingplace
of friends and loved ones who
once lived and loved them.

Workon Railroad Resumed-Fine Corn
and Tobacco Crops
Editor County Record:
Beautiful rains, in full full sup-!
ply, have visited every section and <
corn is looking well; even the stunted i
corn on the Williamson plan refused <
te dwindle. The time for working
rnd fertilizing it is on hand and I !
look for a big crop.
But cotton! Poor little stunted \
cotton! Some of it has been up 3 or;
1 weeks without putting up a heart J
:eaf yet. (
The old tobacco pipe,however, cau
3egiu to to crow and get ready for a
jountiful tobacco crop. It is growQg
hnely and no grass in it.
The oat crop, too, is in it^ lory
lince the rains, especially wjw> ui- 1
;rate of soda has been applie
;ee here! If you want to keep *e
jood side of your better half don't
et the little turkeys get at the oatield
until the soda has been dissolv:d,
for one one of our neighbors lost
'very little turkey she had iu two
lays time after they put the soda on
he roots, about 20 of them. I did
lot know they would eat it. j
Mr S B Boston's already nice a
I welling has been expanded with a j
