obtained from them. then to appeal to
the State Board of Equalization the
purpose being to show to the Board
of Equalization that 800 worth of
property at its actual value in this
county is assessed higher and the tax
payers therefore made to pay more
upon it than 800 actual value in other
towns and counties in the State.
The committee will secure this in
formation at once and appeal to the
assessor, who is now assessing the
property for 1902, and from him to the
County Board of Equalization then if
relief is not obtained, the cause will
be carried to the State Board.
1t is directly to the interest of every
tax payer in this town and county to
interest himself in the matter and
give the committee any information
or service in their power. If this
reduction in the assessment is OBJ
tanned. it will not only save every in
dividnal tax payer money this year,
but the assessment will probably stand
for years to come, making an annual
saving of thousands of dollars.
The committee appointed by the
chairman is as follows: Messrs. j.
M. Dedman, F. d. Lander. E. E.
Erwin, Roland Gooch. E. H. Hatcher,
Eugene Anderson and John M. Burns.
On motion the chairman, Mr.. A. B.
Rains was added to the committee.

to end forever the Sampson Schley con-
troversy. The memorandum is adverse

he should not have feared to go into
dangerous proximity" Sampson is
rebuked for not reporting Schley' s
"reprehensible conduct" until week
after the battle of Santiago had been
fought and won, when he should have
been removed as second in command
previous to the battle but for Samp-
sons apparent conformation of the
alleged 'reprehensible conduct. I" The
court of Inquiry is criticised for not
having specifically condemned Schley
for his failure to enforce an efficient
blockade, and for not considering the
question of command and, lastly,
the President finds that while Sampson
was technically in command, neither
he nor Schley exsrted any influence
over ships other than his own, and that
the battle of Santiago was Gap

The President in his memorandum
says:

was fired, not pound of steam was
put on in the engine room aboard any
ship actively engaged, in obedience to
