The Auditors Office will be open
from the 1st day of January to
the goth day of February, 1902, to
receive returns of Real Estate and
Personal property for taxation in
Laurens county.
1t will save much time to tax
payers, also greatly facilitate
the work of the Assessor, if ev.
cry person before leaving homo
will make out a completes list of
every item of personal property
in the following order: Horses,
cattle, mules, sheep and goats,
hogs, watches, organs and plan.
os, buggies, wagons and car
riages, dogs, merchandise, ma
chinery and engines, moneys,
notes and accounts above indeb.
tedncss, and all other property,
including household.
1t is always required that the
Auditor get the first given name
Of the taxpayer in full.
Under this head of place of
residence on tax return, give the
township.
All male citizens between the
ages of twenty-one and sixty
years, on the let of January, ex.
bept those who r incapable of
earning a support from being
MANNED, or from other causes,
are deemed taxable polls. Con-
federate veterans excepted.
And alltax-payers are required
to give number of their school
district. They are also request
ed to state whether the property
is situated in town or in the
country.
After the Goth day of February next
fifty per cent. penalty will be attached
for failures to make returns.
In every community there are persons
who cannot read or that do not take a
newspaper. Those more fortunate may
do such persons a great favor by telling
them of the time to make returns or by
returning for them.
The assessing and collecting taxes is
done 10 the same year, and we have to
aggregate the number and value of all
horses, mules, cattle and other pieces of
personal property as well as the acres of
land, lots and buildings and their value
that there arc in this county, and have
the same on file in tho Comptroller Gen.
erals Office by the Both of June of each
year, and from that time to tho first day
of October the Auditors and Treasurer's
duplicate have to be completed and an alb.
stract of the work in the Comptroller
Generals Office by that time, which will
show at o glance that the Auditor has no
time to take returns, or anything else
much, between the LIST day of October,
but work on the books and the blanks.
We hope, therefore, that all taxpayers
will make their returns iu time.

The Laurcns Lyceum Course.

MIR. Editor Please allow me space
for a few words upon an important
matter. The Laurens Lyceum Course for
the season closes with the next lecture,
which, l understand, is to be given in
the near future. The thanks of the en-.
tire community are eminently due Dr..
Washington, t. G. Lucas, and any others
who may have aided them in the prose-
cution of the plan, for the entertaining
and ~elevating course of attractions. But
while we sincerely thank them for the
past, we must at the same time look to
the future and plan for the coming season.
Let me exhort the entire community
to take an active interest in this great
educational institution, for such it is.
Laurens cannot afford to be behind her
neighboring cities in such enterprises.
Let me urge the young people, who Lam
persuaded realize that l am their friend,
to take an active interest in the work.
If all would support the cause, the cost
would be very light.
| would suggest the following plan {:
Let US, on the evening of the next lecture,
meet a half-hour before it is to begin,
talk over the subject, and elect a COM
mittee to arrange for the next season.
OF course | would suggest the election of
those who have served us so faithfully in
the p, as this Committee.
With best wishes for every enterprise
that looks to the betterment of the com
munity, l am,
Very sincerely,

Must the Negro Go?

We clip the following from the News
and Courier, a dispatch from Mem
phis:
"Mr. Kuntz is touring the State OF
Arkansas in search of a spot where he
proposes to launch q scheme which, IL
successful, will reyolutionize the cot
ton-picking industry Of the South.
"kuntz and his companions are trav-
cling on u special train, composed of
three vestibule sleepers. Hunts pro-
poses to colonize q large number Of
monkeys from Africa and South Amer
lea, which, he says, make excellent
cotton-pickers. He is looking for a
large tract Of land, which Will be
bought in and a stock company formed
from the number OF capitalists now
with him. He then proposes to embark
for Africa and bring back two ship
loads of monkeys. He says he has
given the subject much study and has
spent many days in the African jun
giles, and understands monkey talk as
well as the Ethiopian language"
Then what becomes of the negro
cotton picker? What sort of a greet
ing will he give Jocko? A body of
Southern Christians built just after
the war when they were very poor a
college at Sewanee, Tenn, in the midst
of the mountains for the economical
education OF their children. About
400 boys attend. Until recently the
wives Of the Mountaineers did their
laundering, when for economy o steam
laundry was established. And now the
free and independent mountaineers
threaten to dynamite and blow to atoms

have driven two OF .hem out of the

1t is about as good Democratic doctrine
(poor indeed) as clearing rivers and

measure may conserve the timber, and
prevent sudden floods in the great
rivers that rush through our State, VIC
hope our Representatives may sustain
the measure.
