of the w4y they propose to manage

A Now Swindle,

Another swindling scheme is be-
ing worked. A merchant receives
a circular stating that certain old
coins, notably old large sized cop
pers of certain dates, are valuable,
say from 50 to $75. The circular
advises him to keep the schedule for
purposes of references to such coin
as may come in his possession. In
few days stranger enters his
store, makes some small purchases,
and in paying for the same exposes
a number of old-fashioned coins
about which he presently begins
to talk. The merchant asks to see
them and finds that they are iden-
tioal with those quoted in his cir
cular at fabulous prices. He offers
the man 81, $40 and $50, perhaps,
and becomes the possessor of a
coin which the sWindlers purchase
from New York and Boston dealers
at 81 per hundred. But he doesn't
kick himself until he tries to mark

A Good suggestion.

Charleston Gazette.
One thing the tax commission
should not overlook, and that is
tho necessity for provision in the
law by which proceedings can be
instituted to raise those ASSESS
ments that the board finds to be too
low. Put in it the power of the
bourd of equalization to take the
initiative in the matter of equall-
zation of values-to raise those
found too low, and lower those
that have been placed too high,
The way the law now is, if an as
sessment is made too low, by mis-
take or fraud, or in any other way,
there is no way in which it can be
remeLied until the next ten year
period rolls around. That is mani
testify not right, as the present
condition of the assessors' books
in Kanawha county amply and
satisfactorily proves. The .county
court, in it's equalizing capacity,
should have the power to raise any
assessments that it may find too
low, after giving the owner of the
property due notice, of course, and
hearing what reasons he may urge
to the contrary.

In this case there was a grave lack

the defendant not been "nigger"
he never would have been convict

circumstances, the environment of
