what our Western neighbors think of the

The Tax Assessment.

We expected that fault would be found
with the action Of the State Board of
Equalization, but We did not expect such
senscless statements as have appeared in
some of the country papers. Orange
burg and Marion counties seem to be
suffering most cxcruciatingly from the
action of the Board. We propose
stating few facts relative to the assess
mcnt and the law under which it was
made.
The property of the State, as returned
by the County Auditors. and equalizcd
by the County Boards were as follows:
Real Property, $76,125,025.
Personal Property, 3s,s2s,44
Total, S114,953,lTl.
1t is admitted, VIC believe, by the
Charleston Nems that the property of the
State, if fairly assessed, should reach
S200, 600, 900. The State Board Of
Equalization agreed with the Ne,cs, and
raised the assessment of the Real Prop
erty of the State Sl9,046, ,063, distribu.
ting it among the various counties after
full consideration of the return made
BY each county.
T. AS a sample 81 the assessment made
in the counties generally, take the
case Of OIangeburg Here is county
right thro&gh the centre of which runs
the Edisto river, and which contains
some of the best lands in The State
And yet this county returned 120,3i7
acres of arabic land at a valuation of
1921 ,879-making an average of Sill
100 per acre for the best lands in the
county On the face of it this is an abb
surdity. The meadow and pasture lands
III the same county are returned at an
average OF S1.25 per acre, and the wood
lands at Il average Of 81 per acre. From
a letter in the Ne'cS of May 18th, dated
Columbia, we take the following: I'll
learn from an intelligent farmer that
lands in the upper portion of ST. Mat
thews' Parish (Orangeburg county have
appreciated 33l ner ooa. in value since
1867, aud that owners don't care TO soil
