Evidences Of Activity and Prosperity
Everywhere Visible.
JAcKsoN's CREEK, Oct. 25.-A few
days ago We received notice 10 attend
a court Of reference at Ncwberry.
Being of a law-abiding nature we
went. We crossed Broad River at
Ashford's Ferry, and travelled through
q portion Of the county that once
tecmed with wealth, and from the
excellent looking crops and cheerful
appearance of the people, we would
infer that most Of it::was still in pros
porous condition. We arrived at tho
town Of Newbcrryin due time, and
after finishing with the court we saunt-
cred out to see the Sights, if any there
were. All around could be heard the
sound Of the hammer, saw ind trowel.
Rebuilding the burnt portion of the
town seemed to be the special order Of
the day, and to make the buildings Or
namental as well as useful tho ambi-
ton of the owners. Among these IRE
Mower 81 Lane, Cash s. Langford,
Crotwell, and Pool & Schumpert. The
last named aro rebuilding tho old
Newberry Hotel with o view to tho
comfort Of the travelling public. When
finished it will have all tho modern
improvements, and will be first~class
hotel. Among the business men we
met l.. M. Speers, who formerly had
q marble yard in Winnsboro, and is
now of tho firm of Leavell and Speors,
dealers in oil kinds marble, and un-
dertakers. They have tho contract
for building the monument to tho
Confederate dead ofNewborry county.
The Fair grounds are beautifully laid
ofin the eastern suburbs Of tho town,
and extensive preparations are making
for the accommodation Of all tho citi-
zens of the county who may wish 10
exhibit. Upon tho whole, Newberry
at this time presents the appearance of
1.-Two place. Yet we think old Fair
field, notwithstanding hor war record,
is keeping pace with the best of thom.
1t is O much safer place for the labor
ing classes than Kansas or any other
Of the homes for the poor man wo find
on paper with fortunes to be made in
a twinkling.

good crops, and are busy gathering and

THE BUSINESS BooM.-After q series
of years of depression, Winnsboro is
rejoicing in real old business revival.
1t was feared that tho drought and the
rains had greatly injured tho cotton
crop. But tho dry warm spell devel-
oped large number Of tho latc bolls
and brought up the general average
considerably. The crop will be small,
but 1t is much better than was expect
ed, and the flrrnness in tho market has
wrcathcd many farmers face in
smiles. Tho price has ranged steadily
above ton cents for some time, and cot
ton has been pouring in. Tho sales
In town for the week ending Saturday
25th were heavier than were over be-
fore known, and at one time over
eight hundred bales were piled at the
depot awaiting shipment. The mer-
chants were kept OH rush the whole
week, selling goods and taking in
money not only OH current accounts,
but also on old debts. Trade which
had been run Off by railroad discrimi-
nations ia coming back. This is due
largely to tho exertions Of tho NOR
chants who have been moro than ever
wide awake this year. The farmers
have livol cheaply and attended close
" to thoir work, md they find them
aelvcs now with surplus in theit
pockets, to invest in other things than
the more necessaries Of lifo.
Businoss has been brisk this week
also, On Tuesday tho transactions OF
tho Bank reached over twenty-five
thousand dollars, one item being a
single draft for over fourteen thousand
dollars, the proceeds ola lot Of cotton

part Of the county was injured by the
drought. Tho crops OH Watcrce River
arc above the average. From all parts
of tho county come the samo reports.
Although nobody has made a fortune
still wo feel warranted in saying that
tho tide has taken turn and we aro
once moro OH the way to prosperity.
The Bank paid out in actual cash
across its counter SD, 900 for cotton in
six days, ofwhich 1926, 900 was paid the
first thrcc days Of this week. This

TAX RETURNs.-An erroneous i'm
preston prevails that in returning
property the owner has to swear to
the value of his land. This is mis-
take. lie returns thcnumbcr of acres,
and the equalization board fixes tho
price. AS matter of convenience
the owneris requested to estimate the
value Of the land as a guido to the
Board, and in very rare instances are
any changes made. Tho changes come
from difference ofjudgmcnt, not from
an intention to charge tho person maxi
ing the return with fraud. Instances
have occurred where two persons hold
ing adjoining tracts of land of the same
kind have returned them at very diff
tcrcnt valuation, because different men
have different ideas of value. In such
a case the equalizing board, realizing
tho spirit of the law to be that tho
similar lands must pay the same tax,
either raise the first ones return or
lower the others. 1t makes no diff
fcrhnce to the State, for tho simple
purpose of taxation, whether all its
lands average one dollar an acre or
ten, provided that similar lands are not
valued at one dollar in one county and
at ten dollars in another. The duty of
the State Board is to reconcile these
and make the valuation
over the whole State, and
the act Of the State Board does not fix
tho actual value of the property, but
merely the relative value Of property.
In somc States real estate is assessed
at onc-third its value, so that la /
worth thirty dollars an acre is returned
at ten dollars, and land worth twenty
dollars is assessed ut six and two
thirds dollars. So ifn man in Fairfield
returns his land at five dollars, and
the Board raises it to six, this does not
mcan.t that the land is really worth six,
but that if somebody else has similar
lands returned at six, this land must
be put at six dollars too, the question
whether one shall be raiscd to six or
the other reduced to five depending
entirely OH whether the general aver
age Of the same kind of land is five
dollars or six. This is all the Board
does. When land is below the aver
age, it is put up; when above, it is
lowered. This secures uniform
valuation. Some people raise an out
cry about land being ovcr-asscssed.
This makes no difference, provided the
increase Of valuation produces q pro-
portionatc decrcdsc in the tax levy.
The money necessary 10 run the gov
crmcnt is fixed sum yearly, which
has to be raised by taxation. If ten
mills is enough on valuation of one
hundred and thirty millions, it would
take twenty mills if tho assessment be
reduced onc-half. We're the assess
mcnt doubled, the lcvy would be but
five mills, but the sum realized would
be the same, and each mans tax would
be the same under either assessment.
We're the levy fixed sum, it would
make difference about the assessment,
but since the levy is inverscly proper
tional to tho assessment, the product
or the tax paid will remain constant
quantity. If people will reflect they
will sec that this is tho proper view to
take Of this matter.
