A f t he elect Ion to be held nex I i ura iaj', April 6th, the voters of Walesboro will have an opportunity in take a etep forward by voting for I -n.l.s to.Ftreet improvement. The i ivv which a&thorlzes the election ior iIk.sc bods also authorizes and re M'lires the property owners to pay I'iie-ihird of the cost ' Of paving the htrcet and-one-half the cost of the Bide walk. If the bond issue carries the town will have between $25,000. and J ;1i,000 to spend on the improve nif iit of the streets, and the law re quires this money to be spent on the rontrel streets' of the town.

Un der the glare of a street lamp yegg men backed a wagon up to the door of the Richmond Postoffice either cn Saturday or Sunday night, pierced the vault with steel drills and made off with f lOqjoOO In stamps, and $160 cash. A watchman in - the building was undisturbed while, the robbers entered through a street window and did the job." . ' -';;vi:. '. ' " " The office had been closed since 6 o'clock Saturday evening. When a clerk opened the doors this morning the .robbery was discovered. Post office Inspectors and cify police hur ried Into action and decided that the looters must have used a horse and wagon to get. off with their bulky booty. v; Vv'VV Cashier Mckim' Marriott had gone to the country for the week's and is now on his " way back In the tate law there can be no Increase in the poll tax of the town, as the Jaw provides that the poll tax can never exceed $2.00, , It is therefore area that there can be no increase in the taxes of parties who pay no prop erty tax. A tax of 8 cents on the $100 worth of property will be a suffi cient amount for paying the interest on the bonds and for providing for a slaking fand for the payment of the bond atr maturity. ; The present property tax of the town is .95 cents on the hundred dollars, ami if the bond jssue carries it will not be nec tary to raise (his tax to more than $1.05 on the $100; and by carrying the bond , iesue , and paying . this amount the town will have .between $25,000 and $30,000 available for tbe pnrpese of street improvement.. , If the bond issue does not carry it will be necessary for the commis sioners of the town to levy a tax cn property for the 'purpose of raising enough money to make cer tain improvements on the streets We can not afford to see cur streets next winter in the same condition as they Were last winter. In order to Iut them in better condition it will be absolutely necessary for the commis sioners ot the town to increase the r..te of taxes, and they will necessarily Lave to increase the rate more if the bond issue fails to carry, because if the lond issue fails to carry, the commis sioners will only have available just the amount of money that they raise in taxes. Then, too, the road to' the depot will soon be put in good shape, hut if the bond isue fails to carry the commissioners can not spend as much money on the depot road as they oth erwise could spend. Some of the money which they ould spend paX. the depot road would have to be tak en to put the streets of the town in better condition. -'; " v We understand that estimates have been made which show that the pav ing of the streets in the town can be done forabout 00 cents per square yard. There are about 18,000 square yard3 of street In the territory which h to be paved, and about 6,000 square ydrds of side walks. The aide walks ( an te paved for $1.00 per square yard. IfwilUake an expenditure of a little less than $25,000 to pav the street3 and sidewalks in the territory proposed under the amendment to the town charter. The town charter was amended at an election last fall, and the commis sioners now have the power to levy a property tax of $1.25 on the hun dred dollars worth of property. It is to be hoped that the voters of the town will not make it necessary for the commissioners to impose much increase in taxes; but if the bond is sue fails to carry the commissioners will, necessarily, have to materially increase the tax rate in order to raise money withwhich to do the necessary work on the streets. Even if this in rease is made they will not be able do the kind of work they could do aider the bond issue. Therefore let very registered voter in the town go o the polls next Tuesday morning nil vote "For Bonds for Street Im rovement." Our town will then be a better shape and better conditions v ill , prevail along all lines. Getting rce of the dust fiom the streets will ! worth more to the town and to the prehant " than : the increase "will mount to.' The property on the treeta which are to be paved will lu re use in value more than double the a!ue that the property owners will ' required to pay. , ; : ,,. ;-. the thieves evidently had time, they overlooked an containing $2,000 in cash. end res- , Though plenty of envelope 1 Stamp Thieves Caught.

Monroe Journal Having exhausted bis own resour ces and those of his lawyers; ana staggering under conviction of hav ing shot a few balls through the win dow of Nebo colored Baptist church of Waxbaw against the sides of his brother minister, Rev. McDonald, Rev. John Crawford, colored, brush ed aside the technicalities of earthly courts and appealed direct to the supreme court of Providence. While the Rev. Crawford was resting in jail last Friday morning, awaiting sen tence, Sheriff Griffith heard a sound as of the rushing of mighty winds coming from the direction of Craw ford's cell. Going to investigate, the sheriff beheld Crawford on his knees praying with tremendous voice that the heart of the solicitor might be softened, that the judge be overcome with mercy and loving kindness, and that Providence would lead from the prison cell into the clear sunlight of liberty 4dis ol' Barnabas, who am' done nothin' and yit is covered with shameful shackles." It is not known what effect this prayer had on the heart of Judge JLyon, but it must have softened it, as ; he fined Craw ford only $50 and costs, which the preacher paid cheerfully. rrur't rala U'aala Sail Barre? mt ttCatr The Anson Farmer's Union, at Its regular monthly meeting Monday, appointed Messrs.

We have al ready booked a car of McCormick goods to be shipped April 15th; all the goods we can get into this car will be shipped to us with no freight to pay. Last year we shipped eight binders from Charlotte, seven by freight and one by express. The seven by freight cost us $4.00 each charges; the one by express cost $8.00 chages. We could have saved the farmers who bought these eight all the freight and express money that went to enrich the the railroad company and express company if they had given us their orders in time ?ime to let them come out in our car load of mowers and rakes.

Four years ago, we sold as high as 500 in a Single season; now we do not sell one-tenth of this number. Why is this? The farmers of this county are as quick to catch on to new and improved methods as any class of people we deal with, and they recognize in the Cole Planters something better than the old style Lytch.

Com'ny Many people have tried so many remedies for eczema without being materially benefitted that they have come to the conclusion that there is no cure for this most distressing dis ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and that - Hobson's Eczema Ointment will effect a cure is shown by the fbUowing unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson, who for many years was a citizen of Wades boro. Mr. Wilson says: "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was completely cured. "V.WILSON. "Thomasviile. N. C. Feb. 22, 1910." We sell Hobson'8 Eczema Ointment under an absolute guarantee.
