would exceed the truth In asserting that four
timea the number Of hehous Grimes have been
| committed In this State in tho past Aftern years
rs were pcrpetrated In the ninety years Of our
| previous existence as q sovereignty. Before the
war assassination was almost unheard Of, while
now 1t has become common, and but few
counties have failed 10 have ono or moro oases.
In Abbeville County there have been three
cases Of assassination and robbery in tho past
four years, all Of old, inoffensivo citizens.
First Harmon and wifo, for which six negroes
were shot without trial; then tho Franklins,
| brother and sister, who wero found murdered
in their house, of which crimo jeff Davids q
negro. was convicted OH oiroumstantial evidence,
but has not yet been executed, because Of the
doubt of his guilt, and now comes tho killing in
his own house of Wm. Mattox, on tho 18th
ultimo, by parties unknown. From tho ac-
| count given in the Abbeville papers of this
bloody deed 1t was certainly bold act, as thero
wero others in the house, and yet after calling
him to the door and demanding his money they
shot him down, and others fleeing robbed the
house. It is supposed from foot prints there
we're threo in tho crowd Only o few years ago
case of murder and arson occurred at Poinaria
and in tho lower counties these kilngs have
been more common. If record of oil tho high
grade of crimes committed in tho past fifteen
years could be published it would mako fearful
showing, and yet tho wonder is it is not greater,
when so many men, white and colored, 60 armed
daily and drink too freely of whiskey. Tho
evil is great in our own State, but greater still
in tho North. Wo are glad to SEQ bills hayo
been introduced or noticed in tho Legislature 10
punish tho carrying Of concealed weapons and
to restrain the sale of liquor so us to mitigate
its evil. Such laws instead Of injuring any one
will benefit the people, the country und morality,
while they will largely reduce taxes. Some
contend tho true remedy is punishment, but we
think it rather consists in prevention with pun
ishment in proper cases. In Abucvillo, though
swift punishment followed tho murler of tho
Ilarmons, yet soon after Tho Franklns were
killed, and though Jerc Coleman was executed,
yet now comes another horrible murder. It
seems those counties where punishment has been
inflicted breed moro crimes thnn others where
no execution has taken place We need pre-
vention and punishment both.

Crime.

The prevalence Of crimes Of The higher class
in the United States is matter of serious con-
sideration. In tho North and South, East and
arsons and burgaries are constantly seen. In
the South they arc Of far less frequent occur
renee than in the North, where in the large
cities thoy occur almost daily. In Tho South,
too, the great bulk Of crime is confined chiefly
to the colored population, which, corrupted by
politics and seeking to live in ignorance and
idleness, leok too often to robbery and murder
for their necessities. This will doubtless con.
stantly decrease as this race becomes better in
formed and with the present wholesome admi-
nistration Of tho law. With the white race
orime has increased considerably since the war,
resulting doubtless from tho generalization of
the war; tho loss Of property and the recklessness
flowing from 1t. The large consumption Of
whiskey and the carrying of concealed weapons
ore but incentives and ready instruments for ita
perpetration. Both these should DO restricted
in Justice to the tax payers, not to say tc
humanity, for there con bc no doubt hut nine.
tenths Of our court and Jail expenditures flow
from crime. The civil urtrarely occupies ou,
juries above three days and tho expense o.
juries would be trife. Our spring court wat
occupied eight days on criminal business, mostly
cases Of murder, with oil the attendant expense
Of trial Justices, constables, Jail fees and court
Crime Is the eating sore which consumes on
county taxes and leaves the balnnce shee
annually against us. Wa do not believe W

Taxable Property.

The Register, which is good authority in
statistics, publishes n table showing how the
various counties of the State rank in taxable
property. Charleston county heads tho list,
the assessed value Of its property being over
$sO,0o0,0o0. The Counties of Rchland and
Greenvlle have property in value over $5 000,-
900, and tho Counties Of York, Abbevlle, Spar
tnnburg, Barnwell, Anderson, Aiken and
Sumter, in tho order named, each havo over
$4,0o0,O00 of taxable property The Counties
of Newberry, Fairfield, Edgefeld, Coleton,
Orangeburg, Chester, Darlington a1d Marion,
in the order named, rank next with taxable
property of over $3.000,O00. The Counties of
Beaufort, Union, Laurens Lexington, Marlboro
and Korshaw have taxable property each Of
over $2,000,000. The remaining nine Counties,
to wit: Oconee, Georgetown, Williamsburg,
Hampton, Clarendon, Lancaster, Pickcns,
Chesterfield and Horny, III the order named,
have over 81 100000 Of taxable property. Of
the thirty three Counties Oconco, with q taxa
bio property Of $l,9l3,42o. stands number IS,
while Pickens, with taxable property Of
$l,277, ,214, is number 5! in The list of COUNTIES.
Tho aggregate assessed value of tho property Of
tho State is $129,314,737, being m increase of
II will be noticed thut tho value Of property in
Oconee County has increased over 100000 in
the past few years, and we are informed tho
returns Of personal property this year show an
increase in its value over $4,000, Walhalla
adding about $4,000 increase. This exhibit
shows that our county is looking up and that
our people are on the high road to wealth and
prosperity The Register proposes to follow up
this subject and to show the variation of valna-
tions in tho different counties for the class
of property. Having access to The State Offices
it can do this, and the work will be beneficial
in arriving at on equitable relative valuation of
tho property Of the State. We think our pro-
perty will be found higher in proportion than
that Of other counties, taking into consideration
our small population and the broken character
Of much Of our lands.

The Public Debt.

Tho Register, again on statistics, gives a
statement Of tho public debt of South Carolina
and other Southern States, and an estimate OF
Its percentage Of tho assessed valuation Of the
property of tho various States. Tho value of
our property on tho 8lst day Of October, 1870,
amounted to $12o, ,3l3,737, and our public debt
at the same date to $8,55i, ,462 02, or little
over five per cont. of tho property Of the State
as valued for taxation. 4he rate Of taxation is
All cents on tho hundred dollars.
The total value of the taxable property Of
North Carolina is $l42,9l8, 102 and tho State
debt as reduced and funded is put down at
$4,000, 900, or over eight per cent. Of tho
assessed value Of its taxable property. Tho
rate Of taxation in that State is 323 cents on
tho hundred dollars.
The taxable property Of Georgia, rs valued,
Is 1896, 660, $50 and tho State debt amounts to
$1O,644,50O, or about four and half per cont.
Of the taxable property. The rate Of taxation
is fifty cents on the hundred dollars.
The property of Florida is assessed for taxa
tion at $20,47l, ,227 and the funded debt in
January, 1870, was $sl,284, 700, with about IN
equal amount Of unfunded debt, the funded
debt being about four and half per cent Of
tho taxable property and tho unfundcd debt
about the game proportion. The rate of taxa
tion Is seventy cents on the hundred dollars.
Tho taxable property Of Alabama is $ll7,-
486, $50 and the State debt as reported Noycm-
ber 80.h, 1870, was $7,80o200, or about six
per cent. Of the total valuation Of taxable pro.
perty. The rate Of taxation is seventy cents on
the ono hundred dollars.
Our readers will Of course understand that
H. oc
only taxes raised for State purposes Where
the levy for county and school purposes is
added the rate is moro than doubled. In Oconce
County the past year we paid taxes for State
purposes, county taxes public schools and
special levy for past Indebtedness over ono
hundred cents on tho hundred dollars With
an increase of population and wealth the rate Of
taxation will diminish.
