FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.-We have taken
some trouble to obtain the following sta.
tistics: ''"'
The value Of land within the town.
as returned per assessors books, is $3.50.
240; the value of improvements, S499 900
aggregate value, 1885,, ,13O, on which thera,
is tax of SS.1G2.30. The heaviest tax.
payers are Mrs. Joseph Traylor. r. s
whitehead, G. &. McRae. DR.. E. Archer.
Jas. l.. Bradley's eStatc, w. G. Taylor. W
Il. bfander, the Richmond and Danyille
Railroad Company, and the Manchester
Cotton and Woollen Company. Ballard
Edwards and Jacob White, two worthy
colored men, are also owners of considera-
bic property. The town owns real estate
TO the value of SO, ,0G0; the church or non
taXabie property is $50, 400. .E-,
The total amount Of personal property is
over $4,000, on which there is a tax OF
S193:35, eXempting pictures, books, and
mechanics tools. The household and
Kitchen furniture is put at 81, ,295, the in.
comes at S29,275. There are 81 800 worth
of pianos, and 800 in gold and silver plate :;
IL clocks and watches, 81 horses and 1855
head Of cattle-carria.es used few and far
between. The heaviest taX-payers in this
line are Gary & Brothers and G. C. MeRae.
The number OF white ttheholders is 565. of
colored 3O4-giving white majority of 36l
The last registration only gives 142. Can't
the assessor find the delinquents, or must
we realize the gratifying fact of an increased
| majority since the May election? These
figures show Manchester to be growing,
and we trust By our next assessment they
may be increased, and the material pros
perity OF our people increase in the same
ratio.
