School Tax.
ZIP.

The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Slate Grange. to con-
slider what improvement was needed
in our system of school taxation and
to bring the same before the Legisla-
ture, met last Saturday at Camden
and decided to submit the following
changes and suggestions.
That real estate be assessed on its
assessed value instead of its rshstal.
That unimprOved land shoui5s pay a
school tax on its assessed value as it
receives equal benefit with improved.
That the stock of the merchant and
manufacturer should he taxed for
school purposes as well as the live
stock Of the farmer.
That persons deriving their income
from bonds, railroad or bank stocks
or mortgages, should pay a school tax
That our present system of raising
money for the support of our schools
by each district voting tax or no tax,
should be done away with, and the
Levy Court be empowered to assess
an amount of tax sufficient to carry
on the schools of the county, which
shall be collected by the tax collector
paid into the County Treasury and
divided among the districts in proper
tion to the numberof children attend
ing the pub lie school.
They recognize the fact that all taxes
are paid by labor, and the only ques-
tion is, where shall they be assessed
so as to be easily and quickly collected.
They belive the above changes would
not only be just and equitable but that
they would greatly facilitate the col
lection of the school revenue.
The committee consisted of Thomas
F. DillwOrth, G. Gundy Brown and
r. II. Gilman. Mr.. Brown was re-
quested to have the above suggestions
embodied in q bill and to bring the
same before the General Assembly.

MANY persons suppose that the path
way of the country editor is strewn
with flowers; but how great is the de-
lusion ,and how sad some of those per-
SOILS have found the reality. Slow
payments Of little bills, annoying in
terviews with people whose individual
affairs are of no interest to anyone but
themselves. and who want free puffs;
soliciting advertising and writing ads.
for those who don't know what they
want to say; prying into every meet
ing for items; keeping the mind in a
constant strain for new ideas of your
own and others; reading dirty proof,
and thousand and one other annoy
ances contribute to his wretchedness.
Don't think that no ray of sunshine
finds its way through all of this cloud,
for many do. Once in a long time,
some good hearted fellOw-creature will
express his appreciation of the country
editors work, aud testify not only in
words, but in cash, that his feelings
are sincere. Then again, little spaces
of time are devoted to brief vacations,
and in these he finds occasion to use
his "annual pass" over railroad CT
steamboat, and stop at hotel without
paying out cash; but make no mis-
take, he has given for his railroad or
boat ''pass" a space in his paper that
merchant would have had 10 pay $50
per year for, and the hotel has had ad-
vertising that other business men pay
literally for. These and entertain
ment tickets, for which he gave "lOcal
puffs, which, ,ifpaid for would amount
to double the price of tickets, constitute
his free blows" He is invited to par
ties, weddings. anniversaries, ETC., be-
cause he is the editor,and he receives
few choice apples, peaches, melons and
small fruits for the same reason. But
we can assure any person who is not
familiar with a newspaper Office, that
the brightest, best and most cheering
encouragement that can be given to a
country local paper is, subscribe and
