PlLING Up THE TAXEs-Some months
ago, it was stated that the State officials
had determined to increase the assess.
ment OF property throughout the State,
80 that they might be able to squeeze
a large additional sum of money out of
tie people, without increasing the rate
Of taxation. This has been handsomely
done in Union County, where sum Of
S8l0. 900 has been added to the assessed
value of the property in the County.
The Unionville Times says that the for
mer valuation, which was 50, G23, sos,
wus twice the real value of the taxable
property, and that the people are made
to pay tax of IS mills on 500 of true
value. under the guise OF a nominal ia,
OF Is mills. This is very hard upon the
people OF Union, who, however, will
surely have plenty OF the company
which misery loves.

SccrEs DE4=zzz. ~. 4. John Eao:.,
Superintendent OF tho Grsniteville. Fac.
tory, died very suddenly. yesterday
morning. about 10 O'Clock. We learn
that the deceased had left his residence
at his business hour in the morning,
complaining at the time Of an acute
pain in the side, bnt had not been seen
sbout the factory, as usual, when in
qniry was made for him both there and
at his residence, without success.

persons, in all directions, and the. con-
clusion had been generally reached that
Mr.. Knott had left on the train for Au-

OF deceased, went to tho private apart.
ments of the factory, and discovered Mr.,
Knott. in sitting position, with his
eyes aud mouth closed, and every POSI-
ton OF feature and limb indicating
quiet sleep. But the rigidity and icy
GOODNESS Of the body soon dispelled all
hope. The body was found about 1
o'clock, but it is supposed that Mr.. K.
died about 10 O'Clock. An inquest was
held, and verdict rendered OF death
from apople1y. This verdict is, how
ever, generally refuted-the supposition
being that death ensued from heart dis
ease, as the calm appearance of the
body precluded the idea Of it. Mr..
Knott was an old and wealthy citizen of
Graniteville, an Englishman by birth,
and gentleman whose death will create
pangs of regret i'll numbers of families
in the town. He was large stockholder
in the Graniteville factory, as we'll as
Superintendent; the latter position
having been held by him for the past
eight years. He has resided in Granite.

he leaves wife and son, aud daughter
