The lockwood Manufacturing COM

said. things might reach q point
where people would hold courts OF
their own on street corners and deal
with the strikers.
He said the men who wished to work
for the lockwood Company had
right to strap revolvers about them
and carry shotguns as they went 70

could with these arms protect them

How Gray Became a Datto.

It seems that the old-time story of
the civilized citizen who became a
chief in the South Sea Islands has
come true again This time the set
ting is in the Island of Paragua, which
is one of the Moro group. The name
of the man is given as Gray, and, as
the story goes, eh was born IN the
State of Delaware and left this coun--
try as a sailor. He was shipwreckedi
and after many adventures he landed
in Arabia. He became a convict to
Islamism and again followed the sea
for living. Again fortune was appa-
rently unkind to him, for he was ship
wrecked for second time, this time
at the Island of Paragua. He made
himself generally useful, and after all
his adventures he had become prof.
cient in the languages Of that part OF
the world. By entering into island
politics he became very influential,
and in time he attained to the rank of
datto, with all of the authority of a
chief. He was there at last accounts.

in the Montgomery Advertiser, lis a
God-send to the Southern farmer be-
cause it is winter crop. The price
of the seed is 81 bushel. One bush
ell to the acre, drilled in the cotton
rows that are now clear of grass and
in good tilth, along with manure
about September l. will supply green
feed of the very best kind for stall use
from February l until July, by cutting
it, as with the other. The vetch is a
top root plant and the best of i'm
proyers of land. It does not grow well
on poor land, because it is a respect
able plant and don't enjoy bad com
pany. On good land it will grow two
feet deep and cover the earth with the
vine out Of sight in early spring and
summer. This, the writer adds, is
not theorizing, but the result of many
years personal experience.

COLUMBIA SETS The PACE.

Columbia, August S.-Columbia has
taken the initiative in a great many
goods things, but now that there is a
great deal of agitation about the as
sessment of real estate and other
property recent action onthe part OF
this city ought to be well considered.
There can be no question that one
great trouble is that a great deal of
taxable property never finds its way to
the books.
On account of the constitutional pro-
visions the county assessments have to
be accepted by the city, and so as to
get complete returns for the county the
city council of Columbia regularly en-
ployed a competent engineer and a
couple of assistants to survey accurate
ly every foot of land in the city of
Columbia. Block after block was sur
veyed, the exact frontage Of every lot
in the city was taken down and the ma
ture of the buildings on the premises
were noted. After this survey, which
took months, the notes we're turned
over to draughtsmen and they careful
ly prepared maps of every block in the
city. The size of each lot was mark
ed and the name of each property hol-
der was noted on the drawings, which
have all been bound.
These maps were turned over to the
board of assessors, which had been
carefully selected, and the board was
given the services of the engineer as
secretary. The members of the board
we're each allowed five dollars day
and the secretary was paid. The board
was not told to get through with it's
work in a single day, as is the. case IN
some counties, but was advised that as
long as there was anything to do to go
ahead with. the work and they would be
paid.
Result: The county will have near
ly million.dollars' worth Of property
added to its tax books.
The city, having some of this prop
erty on the books on its own account,
will not have quite that much Of an
increase, but almost that much. The
bulk of the increase is due to getting
property that was not on the tax books,
and the chances are that, it would not
have been there had the city not insti
tuted regular campaign to get every
p1SC0 VI property III GuO ClGy 1iuieo ou
the tax books.
It cost the city of Columbia about
81, 500 for the work. The county bene-
fits by the work, but the city pays the
bills, but in a single year the city
will get over s15, 600 in additional tax
es by the sytematic work that it Ehas
had done.
OF course, there are counties and
city authorities that will say that they
have every piece of property in the
county or city on the tax books, and
they will be positive on this point,
but when an engineer gets to work he
will find that the valuable property
often shrinks in size when it comes
time to report it for taxes, and that
no matter how careful they have been
that a great deal of property has
escaped. Eaa
If the cities and counties Will under
take the work they are liable to find
it pretty much as good an investment
as it was in. Columbia, provided the
work is turned over to a business-like
board of assessors, who will not slur
over the work, but go carefully into
the books and surveys and make the
necessary comparisons and proper
valuations.
