1t was on a street corner, where
there was poor devilin a blue uni
form grinding an organ. He was blind
in one eye. He had big scar above
the other eye. One Of his ears was
slashed off. One leg was cut off be.
low the knee. The other leg was
severed above the knee. His left
arm was cut off above the elbow. His
right hand was mutilated so that
only the little finger remained, With
that finger he turned the organ
handle and brought forth doleful
tunes. A big brute Of a southerner
came along and stopped in front Q
the organ, looking the crippled
soldier all over. Then he drew a ten
dollar bill out of his pocket and
tossed it on the organ. AS he start
ed away the old soldier called after
him to know if he had not made a
mistake, saying that no man had
ever given him a bill before. The
southerner turned about with a
fierce look and responded that he
was willing to give S1o any time tc
see Yankee sliced UP like the organ
grinder, because that was the way he
would like to see every b!ankety
blanked Yankee carved up. Well

AT the last meeting Of the board
of commissioners considerable dis
cussion was had regarding the asses
ment OF taxes for 1891. In some
portions of the county tax payers
had offset the value of their personal
property by the amount of their debt
while in other precincts 1t was under
stood that debts could only be de-
Quoted from credits. This has lead
to considerable confusion and much
injustice. Some of the heaviest tax
payers have escaped all personal pro-
perty tax by deductipg their debts
from their personal property. The
matter will be better understood by
brief reference to the statutes. Sec.
18 of the laws of 1890 Chapter 1872,
provides: "That any person, COM
pany or corporation in making up
the amount Of personal property re-
quired to be listed for himself, COM
pany or corporation shall be allowed
to deduct from the gross amount
thereof any indebtedness Of him.
fself company or corporation if the
same be owned or held within the
state" Under this law it will be
seen that the tax payers is PERMIT
TED to deduct his debts from his
personal property. The law doe.
not make it the duty of the auditor
or assessor or any other person tc
take any notice Of offsets unless the
same are claimed by the tax payer
and said deduction by section 19
must be verified under oath. The
laws Of 1891, section 2, chapter 100
amends the law of 1890 so as to'read
as fellows:
4 S 2. AMENDMENr.] "That Sec
ton 1S ofsaid chapter be amended to
read as follows:
Sec. I8. DEDUCTIONS FROM
CREDITS, HOW MADE.] In making up
the amounts of credits which any
person is required to list for himself
or other person, company or corpor-
alton, he shall be entitled to deduct
from the gross amount thereof the
amount of all bona fide Indebtedness
of himself or of any such person,
company or corporation; but no ac-
knowledgementNof indebtedness, not
founded on actual consideration, be-
lieved when received to have been
adequate, and no such acknowledge
ment made for the purpose of being
So deducted, shall be considered a
debt in the meaning Of this section.
Nothing in this section shall be so
construed as to apply to any bank,
banker, company or corporation ex-
ercising banking powers or privi-
leges, or to authorize any deduction
allowed by this section from the val
ue of any other item Of taxable pro-
perty than credits"
1t will be noticed that by the law
Of 1891 debts can be deducted from
credits ONLY and not from personal
property generally. The laws OF
1891 was approved March 9TH 1891,
but there being no emergency clause
attached, the law did not take effect
until July 1st. 1891, and as our as
sesments are supposed to. be com
! pleted before that time, they must

About Seed Grain.

courier is aGltatlnG tile seed gram
question. That is right. No more I'M
portant question confronts tho farmer,
there being dependent upon it, the re-
suits of whole years time and toll.
Particularly it seems to me is it q
question of great moment under exist
ing circumstances. Rarely If ever have
we seen such variance in the condl-
ton of our wheat supply, and an
average SO low. 1t is true Of course
that there is lots Of good whoat in the
country, but that it is not distributed
SO that all may have their requirements
without special effort is equally true.
Unfortunately We have many farmers
whose cropis yet in stack or shock,
who have not even their seed
threshed out, and who must either de-
and upon the thresher to get it for
them ol procure it elsewhere. 1t is
probable that many of these men OK.
poet to thresh out their seed in the
spring and right here is where the dan
ger lies. Should they do so I am afraid
they will find the scriptural adage,
"rhat which man soweth that shall
he also reap" not verified literally, for
should the experience Of myself and
many of my acquaintances be repeated
they will reap nothing. Grain tina: has
stood in the shock over winter might
grow all right, have never tried it, 50
do not know, but that which has stood
over winter in stack, while it may to all
appearances be in no way damaged, 1
have never known of an instance where
it has been sown that.a large percent
age of it has not failed to germinate,
and in every case it would have
been far better if it had failed totally
for then the field would have been
promptly re.secded and possibly good
crop realized, whereas if the original
partial stand is allowed to go crop of
weed seed follows or if re.seeded
there follows crop maturing at two
different periods. Farmers tell us that
they will test their seed and by so doing
avoid all risk, but how is the testing
usually done? Ry placing the seed in
a box of earth and sitting it behind the
kitchen stove. Is it not easy to imagine
that seed would sprout under such
when if placed IN the bosom
of cold, wet mother earth exposed to
the sudden and marked changes Of
incident to early spring
time 1t might utterly fail: Ihave no
faith in such test. Farmers arrange for
seed threshed at the proper season and
kept dry, get it in the ground early and
