In all 1885 Of personal property, of
which only 5000 appears upon the books
of the assessor, as representing the
movable and perishable estate of the
taxpayer, all of the rest being actually
or constructively exempt.
We have at each succeeding session OF
the Legislature appealed for action in
this behalf, but without effect, yet we
shall continue to urge the Importance
of establishing bureau Of sta tistics in
our State until adequate action shall be
taken.
Now to obtain the data for q report
upon the ''live stock" in Old Monroe,
we have no recourse except the Asses
sors Rolls. Well, at first glance this
would seem to the uninitiated to be al
equate, yet in looking over the list one
familiar with the people will be sur
prised to miss the names of nine out of
ten of the men he recognizes as stock
raisers, for the reason that while their
herds may be particularly fine, they do
not exceed the limit Of exemption, and few
farmers report calves, colts, lambs, kids
or pigs. The vast majority, in fact
nine out of ten of the farmers in this
or any other State, unless giving par
ticular attention to stock raising, do
not own over two COWS and calves, ten
sheep exclusive of lambs, and ten hogs
exclusive of pigs, or have more than
three colts on their places; and all such
are excluded from the assessors rolls,
while the tenth man, who may have one
more hog, sheep and COW than any one
OF the other nine, makes the "stock
showing" for the neighborhood. Then
again, there are hundreds just embark
ing in this business, ann as their pur-
chases "for start" are mainly from
the large growers in their own County,
even their success for the first year
results in the anomaly of a reduction

The above list is exclusive Of colts nm
der three years (of which the Assessor
takes no note in this State) but as we
obtained from Mr.. John Burdine, a
special report of the colts in the County
in 1878, which footed up nearly 600,
about equally divided between horse and
mule colts, we have no doubt but that
more than that number are to be found
now, as a great impetus has been given
to that line of stock breeding in the last
two years. 1t is also estimated that full
ly 1000 head of horses are held by freed
men and others in the county that are
not given in on account of the question
of ownership as between vendor and
purchaser, being so doubtful that the
parties controlling them find it easy to
evade assessment.

While the above, which includes for
1880, 254 Kentucky and Tennessee mules
imported since the 1st of January, shows
an increase of 800 in the last twelve
months, the excess could doubtless be
swelled to 1000 but for the colt mules,
exempt, and other difficulties alluded to
in regard to horses.
1t will be observed in this connection,
that under Democratic rule-from 1875
to 1860-the number of mules in the
county has increased 1923, and to far
lnmiliar with the style of cultivation

San, Francisco is in u terrible state OF
excitement again, over tho continuation
of the old feud between the kallock and
De Young families, which resulted in
the killing, last week, of Charles
De Young, senior proprietor Of the
Chronicle, by ]. NJ. Kallock, son of Mayor
Kallock. Charles Do Young 10 the man
who shot Mayor Kullock last August,
while the latter was n candidate for the
Office Of mayor, nnicting two serious
wounds--ono in the breast and
one in tho thigh. The De Youngs-
Charles and Mke--made some
severe attacks upon the private charac'
ter of Kallock in the columns of the
Chronicle. Kalloek returned the
fire in public speech, by cast
ing reflections upon the mother o.
De Youngs. The De Youngs were ter
rlby enraged ut this, and Charles inn
proved an early opportunity for shoot
ing Kallock. All this occurred las,
fall, but M Kallock's wounds did not
prove fatal, and rs me was elected may.
or, the excitement quieted down; but
recently pamphlet was largely circu
lated in San Francisco, reiterating the
scandals upon the private character Of
Mayor Kallook. This so enraged young
Kallock that he avenged the attack
upon his father by walking into the
Chronicle counting rooms and firing
four shots ut Charles De Young, tho last
shot striking De Young in the mouth
killing him almost instantly. Youns
Kallook was arrested and ia in Jail, hu
il cannot be denied that the shootin,
was provoked by the outrageous at
tacks made by the Dc Youngs upon The
Kallock family. Mayor Kallock is tn,

Young was the leader of the Honor

where the feud will end.
