Kinds County Gazette
We are not, ordinarily, in favor Of extra
sessions of the Legislature. or OF interfet-
ence with the tax laws after the tax be
comes due We think. however, that this is
an excepti0nable year, and that great hard
ship will enSue unless some action is taken
which will extend the time for the payment
of the taxes OF ISIS. The epidemic, The
shortuess Of the crop aud the inability OF
the planter to get his crop TO market at The
usual time, lowing to quarantine, etc.
have combined to throw the business OF the
country at large three months behind an or
binary season, and fairness would prompt
that the time for the collection of the taxes
of the year might well be extended three
months and without additional cost.
The members OF the Legislature from
Kinds are all very practical, sensible and
business men. and have at heart the good
of the whole people. and we suggest that
they consult their constituents on this sub
ieet and if they find public sentiment IN
favorof an extra session and an extension
OF the time for paying the taxes that they
urge the Governor to call an extra session
a. the earliest possible day.
HOW WOulu an Arrangement IKE til'

DR.. Writ Johnston, Secretary State Board

ing that we should make provisions for the

Initiative steps in this matter, | beg leave
10 request you to issue notices to the mem
bers Of the State Board of Health TO meet
ii Jackson, on TUESDAY, the 10th day of De-
cember. You will please urge upon all
the great necessity OF their attendance. In

fant subjects that should be brought before
