IBW Itt ASSESS I. & L STOCK, omptroiler General Explains Method by Which BuHding and Loan Stock Should be Re turned for Taxation. Columbia, June 2.-There seems to some general misapprehension as the procedure in arriving; at the assessment of building and loan prop erly, judging from the many letters of inquiry Comptroller General Jones is receiving. / How the assessment should be made is explained in the lowing answer which was being it out to inquirers yesterday : *y?e, will say that your building id lean association started with 500 July 1st, $1 per month. You to make your return for taxa tion January 1st, 1905. ' Say 500 shares at Si per month six months, $3,000. The installments id in on each share January 1st, 5, are $6. Say 50 shares borrowed and cn which have been paid in stallments of $300. Four hundred and fifty shares non-borrowed on, install ments paid in $2,700, $3,000. The aa sedation would return 60 per cent of $2,700, which is the value of or the Iinstallments paid in on the non-bor rowed shares, which is $l,6 Q. ?'The condition of the association on January 1st, 1906, is supposed to be as follows: .Five hundred shares total installments paid in to January 1st, 1906, $9,000, equal to $18 per share paid in." Ssy 100 shares borrowed on, value of shares at $18 $1800, Say 400 shares non-borrowed on at $18 per share, Si,200. You. would return for taxation second year 60 per cent, of .the value of the non-borrowing stock, which / would he $%S20. 'Of course you would add 60 per cent, of the proportionate part of the * profits to the non-borrowing stock. The third year you would proceed in the ame way. You can now readily see that the association is assessed 60 -. per cent of the amount paid in by the non-borrowing stockholders, plus ? 60 per cent of the profits accruing to - inenon-borrowing stock.''

Dalny. Dalny, which was the last town on the Liao-Tung Peninsula between.Port Arthur and the Japs, has f llen, thereby putting an ancient Oriental people in possession of one of the most modern Occidental towns that genius nd morey could create. Since the dt?\'3 cf Har mn Al Raschid, there bas not op-n so marvelous a creation from the will of one man as this beautiful town, which was built to order before a soul moved into it. The town is laid out in four sections, which con verge towards the center, much as slices of pie. One section is for dwell ings, one for the administration, one for business and one for transporta tion. The houses were beautifully built, the streets well paved, water and electricity were put in and then the Czar ordered enough Russians, I both cf the domestic and military species, to report at Dan ly in order to make it a city. So the inhabitants of "Far Off," which is the meaning of Dalny, in Russian, settled them selves down for a future l.fe of ease and prosperity in a beautiful town. Then came the stupidity and cupidity of the government of Russia, which drove the Japanese to war, and now within a few months this fairy city has fallen into the hands of the en emy. Cities may be built to order, but they cannot be kept alive if they are governed by men or despots whose fundamental principles are in oppo sition to right and justice.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Greenville, Miss., Jnne 3-As a ?esnlt of a fight which occurred on the Sims & Williams plantation at Trail Lake, Miss., 30 miles east of here last night, John Sims and his manager, named Cato, were killed by negroes and three of the negroes have been killed also. The country is in a state of intense excitement and it is feared further trouble may ensue between the whites and blacks. The slaughter started about 10 o'clock last night, when Sims and Cato were shot down in their store by a negro named Sam Clark. Sims was engaged in checking up his cash when Clark came in. Before he could make any ki ad of move Clark raised a .Winchester and fired, the shot taking effect first in the back and* then break? ing the collarbone. He died instantly. Clark immediately turned on Cato, the manager, who was in another part of the store and shot him in the right -side, me ball coming out on the left side. Cato staggered out to the back of the store ?md as he reached the door a negro convict guard named Van Horn, who was in waiting, struck him over the head with a rifle. Cat? died at 7 o'clock this morning and the phy? sician gives it as his opinion that the blow over the head caused his death. News of the tragedy was immediately sent to Greenville and Sheriff John Crouch, with a posse, went to the scene. . The negroes, Van Horn and Clar-k, : had made their escape before the posse arrived, but the trail of Van Horn was I found and he was tracked about a quarter of a mile into the woods. Hero another negro convict guard named Mayfield interfered with the posse . and he was shot down in hi's tracks. . Vari Horn was captured and taken to Leland, 14 miles distant, where he was placed in the jail. He remained in jail all night under a strong guard, and at 8.0*0 o'clock this morning he was taken cut and lynched by a mob. While the sheriff and posse were busy with Van Horn the other negro, Sam Clark, returned to the Sims store with the intention, it is said, of killing Buck Williams, the other partner; the bookkeeper, named Crow, who was also at work, and others. Crow, however, after the previous shooting had armed himself and ii negro who worked about the placee named Aaron Fuller. When Clark made his appearance he was shot and killed by both Crow and Fuller. It is belie ved at Trail Lake that the shoot? ing is the outcome of a meeting held in the vicinity of Trail Lake by a negro secret society and that the ne? groes involved were picked put to do the Killing. COUNTY PATROL IN BE0R6I1 Systematic Police Patrol Estab? lished in Richmond County. Augusta, Ga., June '3.- In accord? ance with the recommendations of the recent grand jary, Judge Wm. F. Eve, county commissioner, has divided the rural districts cf the county into two beats, . and beginning June 1st, they will be daily patrolled by the county policemen. The recommendation of the grand jury, there being but two county po? lice, was that the bailiffs of the city andi superior courts, be also required to patrol the county along witli the police. After investigation, Judge EVI? found that this duty could not be required cf them, and that it would interfere and conflict with their other duties. For this reason Judge Evi3 was forced to arrange for the patrolling of the \rural districts with two men. The first beat is composed of the 123rd, the 124th, and the 1434th dis? tricts, and will be patrolled by County Policeman Seago. At the present time it ifs being patrolled by Deputy Wm. D'Antignac, Policeman Seago being engaged in special duty under the di? rection of the county board of health. The second beat is composed of the 12(!9tb, the U9tb, and the 112th dis? tricts. It is being patrolled by County Policeman Foster Sherlock. Tbe policemen receive $2J per day fer each day of service and are required to furnish their own horses. They are not permitted to patrol any of the in? corporated villages on their respective beats, these being looked after by the village marshals. Tp.e hours of service ar1, eight hours daily. "As far as possible, and where it seems practicable. I desire to carry out the recommendations of the recent grand jury, as I have in the past and expect to in the future," said Judge Wm. F. Eve yesterday afternoon. "Where it is feasible and the results are satisfactory, the recommendations will be permanently adopted. The pi trolling ot' the beats established has already been inaugurated. " WEEK END RATES. Excursion Tickets to Popular Resorts Now on Sale by Atlantic Coast Line.

Cuttino. Minutes of meeting of April 13 were read and confirmed. The question of enlarging Turkey Creek Canal by widening and deepen? ing the same, as proposed several times by the Board of Health was dis? cussed at length. The board not be? ing familiar with the general condi? tions of the canal, as outlined in the report of Major W. Loring Lee, who recently surveyed the canal; and be? lieving that the enlargement of the canal, if such be possible, will be of more benefit than simply cleaning it out for a part of the way as is now being done ; desired to investigate the matter fully. Upon motion of Dr. Hofman, the president was instructed j to appoint a committee with the pres? ident as an ex-officio member of said committee, to confer with Alderman Robert F. Haynsworth, Chairman of Committee of Public Works, and Engineer W. Loring Lee who recently surveyed the ':anal, for the purpose of obtaining such information, sud taking such action as might probably make Turkey Creek canal a better sysem of drainage^ for the city of Sumter. The committee consists of Dis. J. C. Spann, Van Telberg-Hof man and S. C. Baker. This commit? tee is to report to a special meeting of Board of Health in a few days.

It was decided to per j mit City Council to complete such work as was started beiore June 1, ?and to do any other work requiring ? excavating as they might see fife dur I ing the summer months, except such work as in the judgment of the health : officer might be detrimental to public I health. Any excavating which the I health officer at any time deems un? wise to be stopped, or to be reported ! to the Board of Health for their de? cision. Dr. Van Telberg-Hofman stated that the Funeral Directors Association of South Carolina was in session in Sum? ter. He said that owing to the close relation between the heaHh board and the undertaker in the suppression of contagious diseases by enforcement of modern sanitary laws iu the prepara? tion, removal and transportation of dead Dodie?, and the fact that the local undertakers had invited the Board of Health and Health Officer to be present at the m?etings of the association, that the local board should take official recognition of the pres? ence of the undertakers and embalmers of the State who are meeting in Sum? ter.

It furnishes the "kids" so much fun hot afternoons.* Faithfulness, punctuality, and cour? tesy in any laborer is praiseworthy. I am thinking of Joe Grantham. Who does not know "old Joe Grantham?" Years ago when the mails could have been carried on the back Joe got the contract ata small price todo ?this work. Now, it requires a horse and wagon and mnch lifting. Yet the law says there is but one way to get; more money, commensurate with the werk. He must give ten days notice of his resignation, the government will advertise for bidders, and then he must bid again. But he might not get it again. Herein the danger lies. This is the only way. No one in authoritry can change the law. Unfortunate ! Joe and the old grey must continue to haul those messages of love, commercial communications, "please remits," etc., until the tide of his life flows out. (The old grey will outlive him. ) Joe is always in the thick of the fight at a fire, and on Sunday he's a leader in the choir. And how many times? "mail this on the train forme, Joe." It's all truly appreciated, but the old grey says it don't satisfy that yawning chasm between his shoulder blades and hip bones. Mr. Bright Williams, president of the Bank of Darlington, killed aJarge American eagle on bis plantation last Thurcday with a Winchester rifle. It measured seven feet from tip to tip. Mr. Williamson has sent it to a taxi? dermist to have it mounted. Ills that come from Summer's Heat .\ mother need not fear to greet, When with "TEETHINA" she's sup? plied.
