OUTRAGEOUS.
$500 For a County Tax Roll.
Robbery Of Marion County Tax
Pays

BY referring to the county court
proceedings printed elsewhere it will
be seen the Salem Statesman charges
and collects lump sum of $500 fol
publishing notice OF lands sold fol
delinquent taxes. There are also
smaller items allowed for local notices
of the sheriff's tax sale
This bill of $500 is an outrageous
tax imposed upon people already un-
able TO pay their taxes. IL is tax
OF from 81 90 to $500 added to the cost
in each case of a lot or farm sold for
taxes, and makes it that much more
impossible for this unfortunate class
to redeem. Why, in such hard times,
such enormous bill is taxed up can
only be explained by the fact that the
Statesman is hard up and forced to
rob the people.
Sheriff Croisan had his list of de-
liuquents published in twOnewspapers
(including the Statesman at cost Of
Sl60, which was not paid by the
county at all. Another sheriff had
the same kind of work done in THE
JOURNAL when times were the best
ever known here for from 20 to 30 cents
a description. Why as times grow
harder these charges should be in
creased on the taxpayer is mystery
cleared only by the suggestion of an
over voracious appetite Of a bankrupt
publisher.
The charge of $500 in a lump sum
has no basis in reason, justice or busi-
ness common sense. Why should it not
have charged at so much per line or
per square,as to any other individual?
How did the Statesman estimate
that this was worth exactly $500?
Did it need just that sum at that
time?
The sheriff orders this advertising
and then collects the printers bill off
the delinquent taxpayer. The sheriff
does not fix this charge. He appor-
lions it among the persons who buy
the land at tax sale. A large part the

comfy bids in: A large part is
never paid. The sheriff may not
collect this $500 taken out of the
county treasury. Chances are he will
not collect near that.
The publication in the Statesman
Is at an outrageous price to the tax
payer, and what is worse it is so
full of errors that careful buyers
of tax titles would not bid. They
would not risk their money
on imperfect descriptions and incor-
rect names. Scores of pieces of prop
erty in that list had the money to
redeem them put up and ready to buy
until it was found no title could be
secured with safety on such a publi-
cation.
THE JOURNAL calls attention to
these facts solely to protect the pub
lie, as it is a well known fact news
paper has nothing to gain by exposure
of extravaganza in public affairs.
Even from a political standpoint the
Statesman, as the alleged Republican
party organ, will not be upheld even
by Republicans in making this out
rageous charge. If such things are
upheld in the name Of party it will
drive hundreds more Of good men out
of the party. No one who knows the
Statesman's circumstances and meth
ods can believe that it is done with
milking the tax roll, or that it will
not bring in still larger bills 10 be
paid perhaps in few months and
perhaps in few years from now.

Compliment 10 Miss Farmer.

The Lynchburg News pays the fol-
lowing high compliment To a popular
young lady of this city:
There recently arrived in the city n
young lady artist. whose talent and
ability promises TO give her some day
a high rank among the artists or the
world. She is Miss Otey Farmer, ~
daughter Of Professor ii. l.. Farmer,
a wel-knOwn musician OF Virginia.
Miss Farmer has just returned from y
six-years' stay in Germany, Frace, and
other European countries. most or the
time of her residence abroad having
been devoted to the study Of art.
she has with her a large collection
of the various sketches and paintings
which she made while IN Europe and
also number which she has made
since her stay in this country. one
exquisite production is "Schiller's Core

Miss Farmer has also made a number
Of studies in charcoal. and IL would seem
seem that her work in this line was a
perfect as in her paintings. Miss Far
mer expects 10 devote herself to both
landscape and portrait painting. In
her portraits she has a happy faculty
OF bringing out every expression and
every light and shadow on person

likeness. In her studies OF faces, there
is the widest range in expression.
Miss Farmer has studied under Pro-
fessor Otto Leu son OF the well-known
Densselsdorf professor. August Leu:
Gustave Koken. in Hanover. Theron and
Humbert. in Paris. and others.
Since her stay In Lynchburg, Miss
Farmer has been engaged In painting tho
old Thurman house. on Harrison street,
where Allen G.. Thurman was born. Miss
Farmer considers this one OF the most
picturesque houses in Lynchburg. She
has also painted a number OF scenes

producing in a most accurate manner the

expects to study for some time In Wash

her career as an artist"
