The above statement is of interest to the
commercial world for several reasons: First,
il will be seen by reference to it. that the
expectation of cotton in 1866 was less than
any of the succeeding years, and yet that
its value was greater than any OF them,
with the exception of 1870 and 1871, when
the expectations were owe double, and yet
the difference in value between 1866 and
1870 was only $9,79l, 4SS, and the difference
between it and 1871, when the expectations
were the largest of any year since 1866, is
but 1885,, 3l4.
This will show the fact that the average
price of cotton was greater in 1866 than In
any of the succeeding years.
By further reference it will be seen that
with the exception OF 1869. when there was
a falling off of a little over $4,000 bales be-
tween the expectations of that and the pre-
yious year, that the expectations Of cotton
have been steadily ON the increase, while
the average price has been steadily on she
decline, with the exception OF 1869, when
there was rise.
The tobacco statement will show that the
value of the expectations, as well as the
Quantity, has been steadily declining since
the year 1869, and that the largest exporta-
tions in any of the given years was made In
that year.

came due in two wears. and at a time
when We would be rid of the floating
dcbt and in this way we would be II
OF debt in five years, and in no year
would the County be o~vcrburdned
with taxation. Is there an honest man
in The County who would not rejoice
to see our county free from debt!
The valuation ofthe taxable property
of the county was about five million
dollars: and in order to carry out the
policy adopted by the court VIC levied
60 cents on the 800, to pay the ten thohs
and dollars intcrc t on the r. L. bonds
and the twenty thousand dollars toat-
ing debt. making thirty Thousands; ard
in addition to this we only levied Sl,l0
| onthe 500. to meet the current cXpcn-
scs Of the county for the year 1910,
whereas the present court levied SID
on the $500. in the year 1871 for current
expenses of the county, an excess OF 70
cents on The 800, over and above the
dillOulii ltNIct ny inc olu ctl !" f
anne purpose the previous year.
And in addition to this the present
court having re%pudiatcd the Il. Il. debt
and made no levy to pay the interest on
the bonds, and there being no floating
debt, were only required TO levy 'Ocents
on the $iO0to pay iudgcmentsthat were
| obtained against the comfy, amounting
to five thousand dollars.
So You see the tax levied in 1871 to
meet the current expenses was twenty
five cents higher on the $l0o, than in
! the vcar 1870. q difference in the tax. OF
twelve thousand five hundred dollars;
and had there been a fpating debt OF
$4,000. to pay. AMI had the present
court levied $1,000 20 pay the Interest

court, the previous year, oar taxes this

Sir, lest some nav be deceived by
the comparative statements being made
relative to the current expense of our
County for the wears 1870 and 1871. and
the policy pursued by the new conrl,
permit me to say a few words throu@h
the columns 0 fyour paper, on ihat sub
jcct.
The present members Of our County
Court who haze been in odir" about
enc year promised in The campaign Of
1879, thai ii elected they would reduce
the EXPENSES of the County, and ihat
tax paydrS might expect better times.
Let ID see If they have redeemed
their plidge.
1t should be remembered by the tax
