All that we ask is to be put on exactly the
same basis. We e a corporation. A
corporation is m, ely an association OF
individuals. But in this matter of taxa
ton there is one very material difference.
The general rule in making returns is not
to assess property over two-thirds Of its
value. individuals often go less than
that; but very seldom more. A corpora
ton cannot conceal its possessions even If
it should desire. Its affairs are always in
such shape that anybody can find them
out. Now do you think it fair to assess a
corporation at higher proportionate rate
than individuals are assessed Perhaps
q few shares of our stock, for instance,
would bring more than par; but such a
fact would not establish the value of the
whole capital stock. Suppose we should
attempt to sell it all, who would be will
ing to give us par for it? Then it is clear
that the market value of few shares is
not q lust measure for the value OF the
whole. We consider that at 66s per cent.
our return is as fair and liberal as that Of
any of the other banks in the county, or
for that matter, as fair as that of any indi-
vidual.
Mr.. Wilkerson suggested that perhaps
the reason why the Fort Mill and York
vile banks failed to return their surplus
and undivided profits was because they
did not have any. Mr.. Culp said that
this was correct as to the Fort Mill bank.
It paid out its surplus and undivided
profits in the shape of dividends previous
to the lst of January, and, therefore, had
nothing to return but its capital stock.
"It would be very poor banking" said
Mr.. ]. H. Miller, mot TO try and keep
surplus on hand. Of course we might get
rid of our surplus and profits previous to
the lst of January and thus avoid return
ing them for taxation but it seems that
the individuals to whom they are paid
would have to make returns, and the
result should be all the same. l don't
mean to say, gentlemen, that the Fort
Mill or Yorkville banks have not made
their returns properly-nothing OF the
kind; but, gentlemen, it seems to me that
having been in business as long as they
have without making any profits, their
returns are too high, and in all fairness
they should be reduced"
The discussion was continued at length.
Quite number of questions were pro-
pounded to Messrs. Miller and Kerr.
Both gentlemen showed themselves to be
thoroughly informed on the subject.
Finally, the board agreed to accept the re-
turns of the Rock Hill banks as they had
been made; the Savings bank at the
equivalent of los on its capital stock, the
First National bank at Git, and the Fort.
Mill and Yorkvjlle banks at 80 each.
Cashiers Miller and Kerr were satisfied
with the result, and went on their ways
rejoicing,

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, April 6.-Those who de-
not visit our public library, will never
know what pleasure they lose. The Ii
brary room is on Main street, and is only
a few steps from the business section oi
the city. It's open each day from 3 O'Clock
until dark, and any one going in will
surely meet pleasant greeting and will
soon find that he or she is welcome. There
are on the shelves we'll selected collec-
ton of books numbering at least 6Oo
or 700. These include the standard
works of fiction by authors now dead
and some now living. On the tables
will be found such magazines as Harpers,
The Century, Cosmopolitan, Strand; witt
the illustrated newspapers generally found
in first class reading room. These mag
azines and papers furnish files that are
often of value. Miss Lillian Jones is the
librarian, and she manages the room
in such a manner that those going once
are very apt to 60 again. privilege OF
using the library is free, but only contrl-
buting members are allowed to carry
books or papers from the room.
There seems to be always some building
going on in our midst. For a long time
the number of workmen needed In build
ing our factories made it hard to get any
thing done, and in spite of the fact that
these are nearly completed, there see ms
still to be no lack of work. Cottages In
course of erection and not in connection
with the factories, are to be seen in many
quarters.
Easter Sunday was as bright and pretty
day as any one could desire. Full con"
gregations were reported from all the
churches.
Miss Lee Wilker entertained number
of friends this evening at tea given to
Mrs. Overman, of North Carolina, who is
visiting at the college now. Miss Wilker
has fitted up for her own use the tower
room adjoining the art studio, and al
who enter there may be sure Of having a
pleasant time. Any entertainment at the
college will be found a pleasure. The
faculty there are not only skilled in teach
ing but are artists in entertaining. g. 8.
