"It is estimated that the gasoline
tax of 2 cents *a gallon will raise a
million dollars a year. 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?

North of Lake City by breaking
through a trestle caused trains over

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

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.

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.

"OLD DAN" MURPHY
BREATHES HIS LAST.
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.

Well Known Colored Citizen Dead.
Jeff Fultlon, age 47, respected colored
citizen of this place ided at his
home on the South edge of town at
7:30 o'clock Friday evening. 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.
