THE WEALTH OF THE COUNTY.
An nIncrease of Assessments of Halfa Million
Dollars.

Auditor Crumer has completed his
books and we are now able to give oul
readers the total assessments of real
estate and personal property for the
purposes of taxation in Newberry
County. Some time ago we published
the figures showing the value Of much
Of the personal property as compared
with former returns. But at that time
the matter of the bank aMd railroad
assessments had not been fixed. The
total increase, as will be seen, is a little
| more than half million dollars. The
increase is all in personal property and
railroads, as there is a slight decrease
in real property.
Auditor Cromer has Increased the
number of polls 626 over last year, and
if all the trustees in all the townships
will aid him as some have done they
could still be increased.
The following table will show the
increase:
1891.

The principal increase comes from
the railroad assessment. The follow
ing will show the increase Of the va
rious railroads over the former lssess-
ments. The Georgia, Caroliua end
Northern, and the Colum bia, Newherry
and Laurens were not assessed before
this year as these roads have been
opened for business in the last year:

There are six foreign land loan COM
panies that have been placed on the
tax books. The total amount Of these
six companies assessment for taxa
tion as obtained from mortgages on the
clerks book is $50,7GS.
The assessment of the Newberry |
National Bank has been Increased $780,
600.
The Prosperity bank is assessed this
year at $4,000.
There has also been some increase in
the assessments of the Building and
Investment Company and the Build
ing and Loan Company both of New
berry.
The Newberry Cotton Seed Oil Mill
gives an increase in the assessment of
$1,000.
The other increase comes from the
Increase in personal property in the Va
'ious townships.
This increase in the assessments will
add materially to the income of the
Graded Schools, as will ap-
pear from the following figures:

WHISKEY

is often used as a medicine, in which
case the purity of the article is of the
greatest importance. I. w. Harper is a
Kentucky distiller of national reputa-
ton. The product of his Distillery is
shipped direct to the retail trade; it
passes through no middle mans hands,
to be mixed, colored, and watered.
Consumers, therefore, have the assur-
ance that I. w. Harper's Whiskey is

THE GRADED SCHOOLS.
The Citizens MeetinG-Trustees Elected
Tax Eoted-Sc hools Opencd-Good
Enrolment.

On last Thursday morning citizens
meeting was held in the Opera House
to hear the report of the trustees OF the
Graded Schools and to elect four trus
tees, one from each ward.
AS is usual with citizens me"tir
IN NewJerry, only about two - IL
citizens atttenHed. 1t is their own
fault, however, as there was no prohi,
bition in the matter.
On motion of J. NJ. Johnstone, J. y.
! Culbreath was made chairman, and J.
X. i. G0ggans, secretary. The report
was read, as published in the town
! papers the week before.
Secretary Goggaus stated that the
! trustees had secured deed to the HOge
School building and could now put it
in repairs.
Chairman Culbreath then made a
short speech. He said we were upon
the beginning Of an enterprise that was
Just one year old but that it had made
itself felt upon our community and
that it would be felt in coming years.
In his judgment the establishment Of
Graded Schools was the best enterprise
Newberry had gone into since he had
been a citizen. 1t builds up the town,
and brings in population. With a first
class college in our midst, aud the
Graded Schools to prepare boys for it,
we had educational advantages second
to no town. We needed unity Of action,
however, to glue continued success TO
the schools.
There upon Mr.. J. O. Peoples
moved that the report be received
as information, which was done. He
then moved that the present trustees
be reelected, which was also done.
An auditing committee was appointed
to examine the books of the trustees
consisting Of r. l.. McCaughrin, J. o.
Peoples and J. NJ. Johnstone, and the
meeting adjourned.
Another meeting was held in the
afternoon to hear this report, which
was that the accounts were correct
with proper vouchers.
The election on voting the two mill
tax was held on the same day. Only
96 votes were polled-S2 for the tax
and II against.
THE SCHOOLS OPEN.
The schools opened on Monday with
a good enrolment. The total in all the |
schools was 432
There is no change in the faculty of
