Vienna, July 29.-The Allgemeine

indisposition of Charles NJ. Schwab,
president Of the United States Steel
corporation, describes him as posi-
lily the most perfect type Of modern
American, AID expresses admiration
al the ceaseless activity permeating
such a life which, it says, offers one

bases of Americas economic system,
rest upon the capacity to accomplish

While Collector Dunn is at his office,
ready and willing to receipt for taxes,
it cannot be said that he is to the least
extent rushed with business. For tax
payers here are prone to play the limit
in paying taxes and thus hang on to
their dollars until the very last mo
ment.
This entails more work upon the
collector. Taxes must be paid, the
laws says, in preference to any other
debt
The county commissioners, week
ago, assessed the rate to be paid
this year, which is 80 or 50. so upon
each 81, 900 of property retarned. This
includes both state and county tax.
Sumter taxable values this year,
everything included, amount to 81, ISL,
9?4, and while this is a sharp decrease
from last year the rate levied last week
will raise an amount sut1ic ent for all
needs. But for certain contingencies
the rate this year would be reduced,
The portion coming TO Sumter coun-
ty will be something like $4,000.
Comptroller General Wright has
advised the tax-collectors of the state
relative to the collection of poll and
professional taxes, as it seems that the
state has lost largely on this score
Under the head of professions are
included doctors, dentists, lawyers,
architects, CIVIL, mechanical and cleo
trical engineers; presidents of railroads
and electric light companies and 9th
ers of the rich who come properly I'M
der this head.
Americas has no railroad presidents
but she has all the others, besides doc
tors and lawy ers galore.
Tax collectors are urged to push col
lections during September, October
and November, and not defer it until
the last moment. Collectors must
close their books by December Goth,
and Comptroller Wright will proceed
against all who do not make prompt
and correct returns.
Not even death can stave off this
debt, SO the quicker your taxes are
paid the better for you.

TWO IN RACE AND
MORE TO CONE.
Contest For Postohce Vacancy Will
Be Spirited.
ASK ENDORSEMENT OF POWERS
Messrs. Mitchell and Cobb Are Local
Aspirants For Postmastership,
While Several Outsiders would
Like to Have the Plum, Too.

The contest for the postmasteiship
of Amerlcus may now be said to be
fairly on with two local aspirants in
the race and full outfeld Of dark
horses. When the appointment will
be made and who will be the lucky
winner are matters of much interest
here just now.
AS heretofore stated, Assistant Post
master Frank p. Mitchell will be an
applicant, and already his friends are
at work in his behalf and will give
him very strong endorsement.
At late hour yesterday it was stat
ed that Mrs. Smith might be given
the appointment for the unexpired
term ending in February. Should
she desire to have it she would, IN
questionabIy, be given strong local
support and the appointment, no
doubt, would come to her,
In such event the personnel of the
force in the office would remain the
same as now and every assistance
would gladly be given her
Among others, 1t is generally under
stood that Captain John A. Cobb is an
aspirant for the office and he, too,
will be strongly urged by his friends.
But there are several others who
would like the office, for the long term
anyhow
And the politician with pull is be-
ing interviewed on the subject.
1t was stated yesterday that Mr..
Henry Wetteroth, formerly of Ameri-
Gus but for a year past a resident OF
New Jersey, might likewise apply for
the position. 1t was said that he
would return here shortly to press his
claim, but whether or not this is true
is not known.
Mr.. Wetteroth Is a republican, and
was an applicant for the postmaster
ship when it was given to the late
Capt. s. A. Smith four years ago
He is an excellent business mar, and
has plenty of friends here who would
welcome his return.
Then there are others, a whole covey
OF them, who have an eye upon the
plum, one of them an Americus young
man the mention Of whose name would
be received with surprise and favor
Letters were also received here yes
terday from applicants in other towing,
asking endorsement
Mr.. Mitchell, as stated already, is
the only white republican here.
1t is not yet known who will secure
the endorsement of the leading color
ed republicans, those having influence
with the administration. 1t was
learned yesterday that these leaders
intended to have meeting last night
for the purpose of deciding upon sons
one of the applicants.
AS the pending appointment will be
for the unexpired term only, ending
in February next, it is not believed
that it will be very long delayed
The salary of postmaster here Is $500

AMERICUs is SLIGHTLY AHEAD
Receives More From Insurance Than
Paid Out.

Just at present Americus is a trihe
ahead in the matter of life insurance
benefits, having received more in the
way of death benefits this year, up to
date, than the premiums amounted
to all together. One of the popu-
lar agents here, who keeps tab on the
situation, said yesterday that the
death claims paid here since January
would amount to $780, 900 easily. On
ly half dozen persons among those
who died this year were insured, and
two of these carried policies aggre-
eating $75, 900. Soithe balance is in
our favor up to date.

DECLINE TO TACKLE AMERICUs.
Unless Local Team viii Shoot On
Atlantas Ground,

The Atlanta Gun Club is willing to

cording to the terms of the challenge
sent that club by Mr.. Henry McCles-
key, PROVIDED, the Americas gun
ners will make the pilgrimage to that
Mecca and shoot on Atlanta's, grounds
which, as a matter of course, they will
not do. Americas issued the challenge
to Atlanta, and her gunners and the
money is ready, Atlanta, on the score
of having won in contest with Mon
roe, Ga. this week, claims the state
championship o trap shooting. 1t is
to be regretted that her club will not
risk this self bestowed championship
by accepting the challenge of the
Americas Club.
