Hughson was porter of one of the
Pullman cars caught in the food at
Johnstown, Pa, and it was mainly
through his heroic efforts that Mrs. E.

enabled to reach place of safety in
the mountains. His appointment is
due to the recommendation of the

afternoon, just after having partaken
of a hearty meal. Mr.. Bamberg had

had been advised by his physician to
take rest, but he insisted on continu-
ing at his work. He complained of
feeling unwell after eating dinner last
Friday, and in few minutes, before
a physician could be summoned, he
was dead Heart disease was the i'm
mediate cause of his death. Capt.
Bamberg was patriotic citizen and
one Of the best and most successful
business men in the State.

gefty pays about three or
times as much tax as country
property.
Is it ever right to do evil that good
may come of it? Some people think
so. If We increase the valuation of
our property, we shall have to pay
more State tax and more constitution
al two mill school tax; so to avoid
paying our just part of these taxes
we will falsely represent our wealth
to the world.
We believe in doing right for the
rights sake. If the property of Clar-
endon county is worth S5,000,000, we
believe in saying so to the world.
We have written the above in all
kindness We have thought on this
subject long time, and We candidly
think there are evils that ought to be
corrected. Possibly we are ourself in
error; if so we shall be truly glad to
have any one show US wherein the ac-

der-estimating the value of property
is right, just, and correct.

MIR. J. r. Grinstead, Sonora, Ky.

Mr.. J. R. Grinstead, Sonora, Ky,
says: My children have sometimes
had boils and other signs of blood
impurities, with loss of appetite, etc,
at which times I have found Swift's
Specific most successful remedy, in
no instance failing to effect a speedy
and permanent cure.
"Swift's Specific is a great blessing
to humanity" says Mr.. P. E. Gordon,
of 725 Broad street, Nashville, Tenn,
"for it cured me OF rheumatism of a
very bad type, with which I had been
troubled for three or four years. S.
S. S. cured me after I had exhausted
everything else
Mr.. Russell Myrick, of the firm Of
Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith,
AK, says he wishes to add his testi-
mony to the thousands which have
already been given as to Swift's Spe-
ciic- He says he derived the most
signal benefit from its use to cure
painful boils and sores resulting from
impure blood.
When taken for a few days, potash
mixtures impair the digestion, take
away the appetite, and dry up the
gastric juices which should assist in
digesting and assimilating the food.
Swift's Specific has just the opposite
effect; it improves digestion, brings
appetite, and builds up the general
health.

Our county, as 1t stands, IS publish
ed to the world as the fifth poorest
county in the State, when in fact we
should rank at least among the aver
age counties of the State. There must
be q cause. What is it?
In the first. place we think the
County Board Of Equalization largely
at fault.
They say that the best arabic land
in Clarendon county is worth only
$3.50 an acre, and that the poorest is
worth $500 an acre; they say that un-
cultivated land, 10 matter how well
timbered, or in what favorable loca-
ton, is worth for the best only $1.25
an acre, and for the poorest sI00 an
acre. They say that our swamp lands,
no matter, how well timbered or how
valuable, are worth only t'oenty cents
an acre.
There are farming lands in this
county that could not be bought for
$50 an acre, and large numbers Of
farms that could not be bought for S25
an acre. We doubt much if there is
farm in the county that could be pur-
chased at So an acre for the arabic
land. Very little land in this county
can be rented for less than 50 al acre
a year, though some of it is rented as
low as 81 an acre, and much Of this
land valued by the Equalization
Board at So or $3.50 an acre, rents
for from So to 81 an acre year.
But another view of it. This fixed
value of land is q gross injustice to
the poor tax payer. There are some
lands that are not worth more than
one-tenth what other lands are worth.
Yet all must be assessed alike. If a
man buys tract of land at s25 or $40
an acre, and he knows it is worth ev-
cry dollar OF it, yet the Equalization
Board will say to him, ''That's all
right: we will relieve you Of just tax
alton TO the value of so or so per
cent Of your property" Such is
geoss injustice to those tax payers
who pay or the value OF their prop
erty. Thus, it is evident, two wrongs
are done, and no right comes of it.
It is not so bad, in value, in per-
sonal property, but in principle the
evil is the same. There is the same
discrimination. The Board says a
horse, and COW, anda hog are worth
30 much, and so much is all it can be
valued at. We have been reliably
told OF instances where a man under
oath returned his property at what be
conceived to be it's just value, and
the board would largely cut down its
value. However, the injustice done
10 the true value of property is not
so great in personal property as in
real property.
The Board OF Equalization have,
according to business principles, an
erroneous conception of equalization.
Common justice demands that it
should be equalized according to its
true value. The man who owns a
farm of 500 acres worth S25 an acre,
should pay taxes on Sl2,500; and an
othe- zaan who owns a farm of 500
acres worth S. an acre, should pay
taxes on $2,500 That is equalization
according to business principles.
The greatest good at present accom-
plished by the Equalization Board is
to draw their per diem and mileage.
One other thing. Town property
is not subjected to this equalization (:)
process. Town property is returned
at what is considered its market val

Let our farmers be progressive, OBJ
tain improved machinery, cultivate
less land and make more on 1t, rent
out iudiciously and under their own
supervision their surplus land, and
make everything on the farm that they
can. Let every man and every class
of men work together for his own
good and that of his neighbor-and
a glorious future is undoubtedly ahead
of US.
Then when everybody, farmer and
mechanic and merchant and capital
ist, all work together for the general
welfare of the county,-then may we
expect to see Clarendon, if not taking

4 BRIGHT FUTURE.

Manning has her bank organized,
and will be ready for business in two
months. Summerton was to have
met yesterday to organize a cotton
seed oil mill. Manning is feeling
around for canning factory, cotton
seed oil mill, and steam laundry,
each of which we need, and very
probably will have in the course Of
few months. We have now large
lumber establishment in the town and
several others in the county, fitted up
with the latest and best improve
ments- We have a great many other
mills and industries in the town and
county. We need cooperation, the
electric elbow touch. Our business
men and capitalists and those with
only few dollars to spend must all
unite, must act together, must cease
to be croakers, must lend helping
hand to every worthy enterprise, must
not think that every other man is q
6end .incarnate, but with a strong
heart, and working on solid and safe
business principles, must ali act to-
gether with one long, strong pull, and
Clarendon county viii rapidly ascend
the hill. of progress
Why stand we here idle? Why
hide our talent? Why live selfshly
shut up in our shells, of little good to
ourselves and of less to the commu-
nifty in which we live? Let every one
open up his heart Let friendship
and love and charity and confidence
and benevolence and square dealing
and good will towards all men be the
actuating motives OF our lives. Let
every one determine to make sue
cess of life, or at least an earnest ef-
fort in that direction.
We believe there is a bright future
ahead of US. The live business men
that have come among US have infus-
ed a new spirit in our people. The
three new railroads in the western
part of the county have reused the
people; the large and magnificent saw
mills along the line of the Central
Railroad, and the fastest passenger
trains in the South,-all these things
are arousipg our people, and they
have determined to be mole progress
sive, and to do more for the upbuild-
ing Of the county. Pinewood, which

In the above table it will be no.
ticed that the polls in the year 1887
IS fell off 432. This was caused by
reducing the age OF paying polls from
60 to so years.
By taking off Motifs township and
adding it to Florence county we lost
S69, ,460 in property and 113 polls.
The above table shows that the val
uation Of property in Clarendon coun-
ty in 1S76-77, when the county was
wrested from Radical rule, was $10,9 1863
more than it is now, startling as
sertion, but true if figures are
correct.
It shows that in just three years OF
Democratic rule the property Of the
county had deprecated s562.417 in
value, and that the polls had increas-
ed only 81.
Then it shows during the follow
ing ten years a slow steady appre-
ciating value Of property, until, as We
stated above, we have got our prop
erty back to nearly its value in the
sdark days of Radical misrule."
It shows that Clarendon county is
one Of the poorest and least progress
i've counties in the State,-in thirteen
years time the property depreciating
$1O,69s.
The above table also includes the
railroad property, the present year it
being S193,S00. lIotts township was
valued at S69,46O. Taking away
Motts and adding the railroad prop
erty then would make an actual in
crease Of S124,34O from this source;
or in other words this sl24,54O Will
have to be added to the Sl0,961, max
ing total deficit, or depreciation of
property in Clarendon county fer
thirteen years OF Democratic rule, of
$135,301. This means that during
the past thirteen years the property Of
Clarendon has deprecated in value,
emitting the railroads, nearly 8 per
cent. Is there sane man in the
county who believes that this is the
trae condition of affairs?
We have recently Published several
tables OF ceunty statistics, and those
who have read them carefully are
pretty well posted on county affairs
It is said that figures never lie; may
be so, but those figures above handle
the truth in an exceedingly careless
aud reckless manner. They don't
even tell half truth. The very idea
of publishing to the world that Clar-
endon county is worth in all and ev-
cry kind of property only si,S04135
IS ridiculously absurd and preposter-
ously untrue. The property of Clas-
endon is worth at least, at small val
uation, s5,0OO,O0O. This is no reck-
less assertion, as We will prove
