That is a just tax. The revenue for roads should come from the vehicles that use the roads. Why should lands and other property be taxed to build and maintain roads for the users of vehicles? Might as well tax the vehicles to build up the farms."?Dillon Herald. We dont quite understand The Her aid. It is a fact that there are other vehicles than those that use gasoline which are nearly or quite as destructo roads as automobiles. Take for instance the big log-wagons of the two and four horse wagons hauling ties to market. It strikes us that these, too, .should be taxed for road maintenance. In the final analysis the farmer gets the greatest benefit from good roads and is as severe on them as any other user. However The Record does not cshtend that the gasoline tax is,not a just one. We believe in it thoroughly and hope that it will remain a source of the state's tax , income. But would it be fair to make the., gasoline consumer, who is the automobile owner, chiefly, defray the expense of road maintenance for the farmer who hauls saw-log \ Tailroad ties, cord wood and cotton over the sanie thoroughfares?

Tracks Just North of Lake City. The derailment of an Atlantic Coast1 Line freight train Friday night just! North of Lake City by breaking through a trestle caused trains over that line both ndrth and south bound to be detoured around by Lanes and j Sumter. No one was injured in the! derailment which consisted of about eighteen box cars loaded with citrus fruit from Florida and bound for the northern markets. As a result of the wreck no mails were received in Kingstree during Saturday.

Addition of receipts from the old three-mill corporation license tax and the domestic corporation license tax, these special taxes thus far have aggregated $1,802,063.37, according to the treasurer's statement. Young Man Hurt in Fall From Tree. While on a 'possum hunt in woods near Olanta, Paul Smith, son of Mr. Bartow Smith of Hebron, was seriously hurt last week in falling from a small tree which he had climbed in pursuit of "game." _The young man had not fully recovered from an attack of dangue fever and had suffered a queer attack earlier on the hunt when comrades had to assist him over a ditch. It was thought that he was perfectly normal when he began to ascend the tree. The fall head foremost injured his spine just between the shoulder blades, and rendered him unconscious until the following afternoon. The boy claims he remembers nothing about climbing the tree or of falling. He was brought to the infirmary at Kingstree where he is now under treatment. His friends hope for a speedy recovery. ( o Community Market a Success. At the Community Market, which opened here last Saturday a number of cooked products, butter, eggs and fancy work were sold. The window display last/ Saturday attracted the attention of quit*, r .umber. It > is pointed out that all butter .offered for sale by the community market undergoes a close inspection before it is placed on sale, thereby assuring its good condition and handling. ' . The Comunity Market will be opened again on next Saturday, November 25, at which time it is hoped there will be made as good or better showing than on the opening day. o Send Food to friends. To satisfy the yearning for the fleshpots of the South, felt by negroes who~have emigrated to the North, Greenwood negroes are sending homecaught rabbits, home-made butter and other delicacies to their relatives in Philadelphia, Chicago, and other centers of negro accumulation. In return, they are neceiving castoff clothing. One Greenwood negro attempted to send a dressed rabbit through the mails to a negro in Chicago last week. When told that the rabbit could not be sent through the mail without difficulty in packing and the signing of several blanks, he decided to send a live rabbit by express. The recipient of the rabbit did not believe an Illinois rabbit tasted like a rabbit from home, he said. Send us your order for Job Printing. We only do the best work. 666 cares Bilious Fever. V~i?

Veteran Convict Died in State Peni- j tentiary Thursday of Last Week. "God be with you, boy; I'm going.'' With these words on his lips, D. C. Murphy, better known as "Old Dan." the veteran convict at the state penitentiary, died in his bed at the state prison last Thursday morning about 4 o'clock. Murphy, who has been somewhat in the limelight during the past several months, was convicted May 15, 1895, of murdering Robert Cope, treasurer of Orangeburg county, and nAM4/???AA/l A Kft U A U'OC .>CIIICIICCU iv Vt Iiaiigv..!. 11V ???? charged with having waylaid the official and after Shooting him to death, of having robbed the dead body of tax moneys collected during the day. He maintained his innocence until the last. Shortly after his conviction the sentence of Murphy was commuted by Governor Ellerbe to life imprisonment, and, from Governor Blease, every executive has been appealed to for clemency for the man. Several boards of pardons have recommenced clemency. During his term, Governor Cooper offered clemency to Murphy, but the man refused on the ground that "I don't desire to go out into the world at this time, as it has advanced a quarter of a century ahead of me; I would be lost; and this is the only home that I know." However, lately he has expressed his desire to be freed and the question of his pardon was under review by Governor Har-. vey. During the first part of his sentence Murphy escaped but was apprehended iiv Georgia and reimprisoned in the penitentiary, where he remained a model prisoner since; so much so that the superintendent, Col. A. K. Sanders, members of the board of director? and the prison guards signed petitions for his release and made personal appeals in his behalf. Some months ago, Supt. Sanders took Murphy in the prison automobile to a local motion picture show, and the aged convict was thq most astonished man living. It was the first time he had ever ridden in a motor-propelled vehicle and the clicking camera was a revolving delight After the performance, he told newspaper men of his sensations, which were like a page from the "Arabian Nights" to hifti; the world's progress and hurley-burley so startled him that he decided to remain in the quiet of his prison home. Murphy had a well-equipped commercial sense. Because of his exemplary record and his venerable age. he was allowed by the prison authorities to run a srqall store inside the prison walls. He kept a stock of tobacco, candies and- the like on hand for sale to his fallow prisoners and thp occasional visitoK He had accumulated quite a modest sum of money from his enterprise. Several months ago Governor Harvey visited the prison and Murphy "set e'm up"; he said that the governor of the state couldn't pay for anything out of his store. Murphy was a very quiet old man, a quaint humor and a real philosophy of life. He delighted to talk with those whom he thought understood him. Thursday morning, according to his cell-mate, Jake Faulkner, Murphy complained of the "heart-bum" several times. Near 4 o'clock, Faulkner remarked: "Dan, your feet are mighty coLd." "Yes," was the reply; "I'm feeling funny; I never felt quite like this before in my life." There was silence for a short time, then: "God be with you, boy; I'm going." Then "Old Dan" sighed and passed out. The aged convict has a son and his widow living: in Georgia, and it is supposed that the body wi'"' je sent to them. * Former Governor Acquitted. Sidney J. Catts, former governor of Florida, was found not guilty by a jury in federal court at Pensocola Monday which tried him on a charge of peonage. The jury deliberated only nine minutes. The former governor was alleged to have held two negroes, Ed Brown and John Henry Rogers, in bondage on his farm, after they had been pardoned from lifetime sentences during his term of office. o noi supprr. There will be a hot supper at Cades Baptist church on Friday night, September 24th, at eight o'clock, given by the ladies of the Cades Baptist church for the purpose of raising funds for church building expenses. Every body is invited and urged to come and enjoy the supper, thereby helping a great cause.# Come and bring your friends, we will make it pleasant for you.?adv. D. J. Kirton.

He was a son of Frank Fulton and a well known figuie in the community. He had operated successfully here a cleaning and pressing establishment for the past twelve years. He was always polite and courteous to his patrons, a tribute The Record can justly pay hini after having been in the same building with him for eleven years. We at ail times found him obliging and ready to render a fdvor when called upon. Heart trouble was the cause of death. He had been in declining health the past year. Funeral sendees were conducted by his pastor, Rev. Baker of the A. M. E. church, Sunday afternoon. The deceased is survived by his wife and two children. Card of Thanks. Mrs. L. D.
