As an evidence of the injustice
done the State under the personal
assessment plan. which virtually
allows every man to become his
own assessor, we note the following
two cases:
The Erlanger syndicate recently
bought the Leves Steam Cotton
Press property. in New Orleans, for
$3.50, 900. It is assessed ON the
tax rolls for $l23,62O.
The Schlater property. in Tier
vile parish. recently sold at public
auction for $22,OO0. 1t is assessed
on the tax rolls at $1,000.
And similar cases can be found
in every parish and town in the
State. No wonder the State tax il

or two mills.

Just received the December num-
Der of the NORTH and South, a
neatly printed monthly journal pub
lished at Buffalo, N. Y, under the
management of j. T. Mclaughlin.
It is devoted to developing the
agricultural, anufacturing and in
dustrial resources of the South.
The present number contains our
article in full on "St. Tammany
parish, its location, health, pro-
ducts, manufacturing and indus
trial advantages, ETC." As the
North and South circulates through
out every State in the Union. We
have no doubt their enterprise, in
publishing this description Of our
parish. will result in attracting the
attention Of many persons who
never see the FARMER, and who
wnuld otherwise remain in ignOr-
ance Of the advantages offered by
our parish to immigrants. This
action. on the part of the publishers
of North and South, will be daily ap-
preciated hy our citizens, and VT
hore they will give this excellent
Journal substantial aid in its good
work. The subscription price is
only 60 cents per year. Address

LETTER FROM McCOMBE CITY
The LUMBER BUsINEss-RAILRoAD
MATTERS, ETC.

McCoMB CIrY, MISS. Dec. u, 81.
EDITOR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
Dear Sir-There is an immense
boom in the lumber trade at this
point. In fact, I Am in a position
to know that the demand for yellow
or Southern pine lumber is greater
than the visible supply. Orders for
our lumber come thick and fast
from all around st. Louis and Chi
cago, and the great Northwest. Up
there they are commencing to know
that for many purposes, especially
for flooring, our Southern pine tim
Der is far superior to theirs.
1t has always been a matter OF
surprise and regret to me that there
are not number of saw mills and
other wood factories scattered along
the Tchefuncta river. Surely they
would pay, and largely. Evidences
that tie Southern timber interests
require more factories are moi want
ing. There has been journal
lately instituted at Nashville, Tenn,
devoted exclusively to Southern
lumbermen and their. affairs.
Recently / met an agent WHIP
came to this place to contract for
timbers for the Pontcltartrain
bridge projected across the Lake for
the New Orleans and Northeastern
Railway Company
While it was in contemplation to
hnild the New Orleans and Norta-
eastern line directly across the Lake,
making Vaudeville a railway sta
ton. perhaps it WAS well enough to
allow the Abita Springs Rail~ay
project to slumber; Tut now that
the Granger syndicate have de-
cided to take their railway away
from us. we do iced o railroad

welfare of st. Tammany, and pro-
TESS to know something Of railway

Our Legislators have been al
work this week on the appropria-
ton and revenue bills. The ap-
preparation bill calls fo, 81, 49S, $50
for the expenses Of governments
during the year 1882. This is
1872. 307 more than the revenue
bill OF 1881 calls for. Some of tue
members appear to think that this
deficiency should be met by an in
crease in licenses on trades and
professions. But in our opinion
much more than the necessary
amount can be raised If the State
will insist upon q full and complete
assessment aud collection of taxes
aud licenses as they now stand.
Compel every man to pay his just
dues 10 the State. aud the tax and
license rates can both be lowered,
and still afford more than sufficient
revenue for all purposes.

something be done to Improve the
Bogue Falia, on which the town of
Covington is located, and which
needs small appropriation more
than all other streams in the parish

away with the necessity of hauling

roads which are ut some seasons of
the year almost impossible.
