TOTAL OF VALUE IS
GAIN over LAST YEAR
Sumter Shows a Small Increased
Value.
A SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION
Showing Each Glass of Property Re-
turned For Taxation. The Total
Shows Gain of $4,000 Over the
Returns Made For Last Year.

Sumter's increase in taxable values
this year, as announced in the Times
Recorder several days ago, is about
So, 900 in round figures, and puts us
out of the class of counties showing
large gains this year.
The fault, however, was that of citi-
zens who did not make returns.
Sumter might have shown a gain OF
one hundred thousand dollars in prop.
erty values if taxpayers generally had
come up and made returns of property.
Several hundred made no returns at
all, ann in consequence we show q
very small gain, when it should have
been greater.
Following is classified list of prop
erty returned for taxation, and the
value thereof.
The total number of polls is 1867.
Of this number $50 are white and 1887
are colored. There are 50 ''profes-
sionals;" doctors, lawyers, dentists
etc. of whom two are colored.
Our people have some cash on hand,
1888, 9S5 being returned.
In land we have 1881, 654 acres, and
of this 3d. acres is owned by color
ed people.
Our banks are worth $3.50, $50, and a
surplus of $14, 500 was likewise re-
ported.
The value of city property is 81, $50,
926 and of this amount $173,633 is
owned by negroes. The amount of
merchandise returned by merchants is
1854, 1877. OF this $342, 206 is owned by
white citizens, while colored mer-
chants returned 81, 981.
While Americus goes awheel, our
"bikes' are only worth $847.
Our household furniture is worth
$245, 078, while our jewelry goes in at
$22,94
Manufacturing interests are put
down at $31, 1926, Our horses and
stock foot up 5000, ST.. Our cotton on
hand March LIST was worth $17,627,
while all other property not enumerat-
ed was given in at the value of $54, 1913.
The total valuation of, all property
returned was 81, 707, 888.
