A lady who had spoken i'll of her
neighbor went to Catholic priest
for confession. After she had told
her wrong doing the priest gave her
handful of nettle seeds and told
her to 60 scatter them over the field.
This done she returned for further
instructions. "Now," said the
priest, "go pick them up and bring
them back to me-" "But that is inn
possible cannot do it," "Neitber

for the evil words you spoke" re.
piled the priest. A good lesson for

Il u
has been to fix low values for lands
to keep the income of the State at
minimum figures, for the declared
purpose of limiting the annual ex-
penditures by the Legislature. In
ante-bellum days that was the policy,
and so we find Gov. Hammond 60
years ago stating the annual receipts
and expenditures at about 100000
for the whole State. Things are
different now--besides the State
government, we now have county
governments, city and town govern
ments, and, of course, an immense
increase in money wants. A pub
lished list of public officials in South
Carolina of date 1912 compared with
similar list now, including uni
formed policemen, to ensure the
arrival and departure of railroad
trains at all the stations in South
Carolina, would be startling reve-
lation, and great shock to all tax
payers! Yet we are busy making
new counties, creating new offices
and enlarging outlays! The reas-
sessment of lands must necessarily
bo most difficult matter, on account
of the natural differences in the soil
of the State, differences in condi-
tions and in cultivating them.
To select dozen pieces of prop
erty out of thousands of separate
holdings in a county, find the figures
of assessment and sales, and rest the
taxation for the whole county on
that small basis, would hardly be
fair or conclusive as to real values.
Here are some interesting figures
worthy of your careful inquiry and
consideration
Census Comptrollers'
Report Figures, 1901.
Total farm pro-
perty..... 80. .S153, ,591, ,159 $s5, 1924, ,115
Value buildings. 26,855,67O 12,419,738
Value machinery 6,829,77O 6,916,697
Live stock. ..... 20,199,S59 1854 ,455
Acres of land.... 13,9S5,014 1S,23O,6
Here we have deficit of $68, ,147,-
932 in farm values-further, the
census figures of acres of land is
only $13,985,014! And the Comp
troller's figures of acres of land is
$18,230,605! These serious differ
ences cannot we'll be disposed of by
the figures of dozen pieces of prop
erty in a county. Thought, time
and labor must be freely expended
to harmonic these contradictory
statements, and it is clear before you
go further that they should be ex-
planned
Only few remarks in conclusion
the owners of the cotton mills in
South Carolina are largely home
folks-they are as much interested
in the advacement and prosperity
of the State as those who own it's
soil. They do not like being olassed
separately for taxation, which is in
open violation of the organic law of
the State. Relatively to other
States, we are small community,
and should for all reasons be united
community-classed separately for
high taxation will hardly promote
harmony.
ask that the last years assess
ment and rate, for the Courtenay
mill, remain as it was; ask further,
that the board examine the statistics
and tax figures of Oconee county for
last year, and see what proportion
of the whole cash receipts were paid
by the cotton mills in that county,
and l think that they will not only
be greatly surprised in the proper
tions, but they will find full justifi- :,
cation for moderation in mill assess
ments.

A Georgia paper, having asserted
that Major Gen. w. III. II. Walker
was the only Georgia general who
was killed in the war for Southern
independence, correspondent of the
Constitution shows that seven briga-
dier generals from that State were
killed in the field. They were Bar

in action. They were: Bee, Duno-
want, Gist, Gregg, jenkins, Perrin,
Stevens. Villipigue and GLADDEN..

Gen. Merriam, director of the CEN
sus, predicts that the population Of
the United States and its colonies
will number 10O,OOO,OOO in 1910.
The census of 1900 gave something
over 76,000,0OO. Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines probably add
100000 more, making 88,0OC,OOO.
Twelve million more will make the
hundred, SO the prediction appears
to be safe one. We might annex
Hayti, however, to make it certain.
