10 one needs to be reminded that
the times are hard and that money is ex-
cecdipgly scarce; nor does any one need
to be told that the straitened c,rcum-
stances of the taxpayer will not pro-
teet the tax collectors from the PEN
alties provided by the law for
failing to make the required settle
ments.
Our governments, whether city,
county or State, must have money
whether the times be hard or whether
they be easy. But, fortunately, there
is some discretion within certain limits.
The city authnri les have the collection
of the city taxes within their own
control. The Sherills and other State
tax collectors are not obliged, for some
weeks yet, to make their settlements.
These things being so, and the exist
encc Of great financial pressure being
an admitted fact, the condition Of our
people demands, and We trust will re
ccive all the indulgence that can pos
law.
These arc no ordinary times: n great
money famine affect; the land, the i'll
effects Of which will be mitigatcd or
intensified just az We Lear with or OPP
press each other. Under the forms of
the law, and in strict literal obedience
to its provisions, much mischief may
be done, indeed much irreparable
damage may he done, that can lie
-ayerted by the exercise Of n proper
forbearance and judieious Indulgence
on the part OF those having control OF
the unpleasant work of collecting the
revenue for the sup. ort of our various
governments.
But while we deem it our duty TO
necessity of considering the stfaitened
circumstanccs of the Taxpayers, it is
equally incumbent osl rs to remind
payers that thoy must by no means
abuse the indulgence that may begiven
to them. The taxes are now due and
there is no legal obstacle to their inl-
mediate collcction; and the tax collec-
tors are bound, by heavy penalties, to
perform their duties within certain
times. Let the people remember this,
therefore, and use every effort to pay
up as promptly as possible. At the
same time let the officials remember
the cXiGcncy of the times, and grant
every indulgence that can possibly he /
given.

Grant doubtless found therein prcce-

of course a foregone conclusion that
the two had iy ssme means 10 get to-

IT Is said that at times the President
and the Treasurer were about to give

Lot. Given Away.

Our entcrprisng frienl, Col. l.. L..
Polk, proposes to give away alternate
lots lii the growing village of LuneVille,
Anson county. The Carolina Central
Railway is to run directly through the
place, to which point it will he com
pleted in n few months.
There is no better section of the
State than that portion Of Anson.
Being Just where the mud ends and
the rocks begin, marking the dividing
line between. the cotton and grain
sections of the State, it is destined to
be the depot of Il large and diversified
trade. The centre Ofa wealthy, indus
trious and moral people, and in n
healthy section. it must rapidly grow
In population and trade when the rail
road. now being rapidly pushed for
ward, shall reach that point.
The il3 ica of these lots at least viii
not deter settlers from investing aud
we should advise those who desire to
locate in a growing place to examine
for themselves.
