he caught until the setting sun reminded
him that it was time to quit. Then he
gathered all his catch together and strung
them upon a string; but low and behold
when he looked them over he found they
were, politically speaking, of the repub-
lican persuasion, at least they were all
suckers, and when the tariff was taken

Joints RaIded.

Or Monday number Of joints were
raided. There were three of them {.
One was a restaurant IN the Midland
block run by Mrs Eli, and her clerk,
james Alphin and j. Brock, q col
ored cook, were arrested while the land
lady showed the value OF her name In
escaping.
Another place raided was a room
over the Midland pharmacy and fell
low named Roy Jordan was arrested.
Another place on South Main Street
was raided and Harrison brothers were
arrested. Some whiskey and ''hop tea''
were found here.
Quite collection of cases of different
kinds of stuff is now in the hands Of
the officers. The men arrested are all
out on bond or hunting it, except Brock
who was committed.
There is some talk that these people
are only few who have been doing a
sort IF bush whacking business and
that the joints doing the biggest BUSH
ness have not been mOlested. Of this
however, we have no knowledge but
hope all will be treated alike.

To Eouallze Taxes.

The county commissioners met in an
adjourned session as board Of equal
cation on Tuesday and heard several
complaints. The one which attracted
most attention was the argument Of
John Roberts against the low assess
ment of the banks of this city. The
statute says that banks shall be assessed
at the real value of their capital stock,
surplus and undivided profits, and
that whatever they hold in real estate
shall be deducted from this amount.
The capital stock Of the Citizens Bank
is $40 1000, it has a surplus of $1,000,
making a total of $4,000. 1t holds
real estate to the value Of SO 900, leav-
ing balance at actual value of $751;
600. But as all other property is as
sessed at one-third of actual value,
they should be the same; but then it
would seem they should pay on S6,399,
but it was only down for SO 900.
The First National has a capital
stock of 100000, surplus and undi-
vided profits, 5000, making total
of S125.00O. 1t has real estate to the
value OF $4,000, which would leave
Sill, 900 if ASSESSED at actual value;
at one-third actual value, it would
make $37 900, but they are only listed
: for Sl7,O 900.
Mr.. Whiteside appeared for the
banks and made the plea that this was
as nearly just valuation as the other
business firms of the town and many
cattle men and others in the county
pay, that it was in the nature of raid
or a hOldup to require more, and that
the county could i'll afford to open up
the strife and contention that might
insue by taking up the qIarrels Of
the neighborhoods where one citizen
might wish to spite another. Some Of
Mr.. Whitesids's defense is doubtless
true. 1t is probable that the banks
are not more subject to censure than
most others doing large or corporate
business. But it certainly does show
a rotten system of taxation. The great
question is how to change it so as to
eliminate these conditions everywhere
prevalent.
