QUESTION ANSWERED..
Arc Towns Helped by
Building Cotton Mills?
Some Pertinent Figures From the
Auditors BoOks-Marked Increase
in Real Estate Values.

GLOW do cotton mills help q town."
WAS n question asked an ADVERTISER
roportcr last week. The reporter con-
suited the books of the county auditor
for light on the subject, Here are
som of the results.
The AK books for 1891 show real
estate in Laurens township i'm 1890
valued at $6O2, 125. There was no cot
ton mill here then.
I'm 1895 the work on the cotton mill
here was commenced but only it's land
WAS assessed-it had no buildings. The
total assessment for the land i'm the
township that year was $3.50, 665. The
cotton mills land was assessed at $6,0l5.
Taking this off there appears an in
crease in the value of Laurens township
land for five years, from 1891, of $42, 525.
The books for 1902 show the land in
the township to be valued at $776, 740,
or and increase in six years since 1896,
and excluding the cotton mills real
estate both years, o~f$'32,O00 In other
words, lands in this township, includ-
inw buildings. other than the cotton
six wears 1892, 900 against $42, 525 for
five wears previous. Moreover, the
figures for 1902 include the real estate
of none of the smaller Incorporated
factories. If they and the mill real
estate we're added the increase would
no to about $780, 600.
Now these figures are for the town
ship, not the town, but 1T is Il fact that
no material change has been made in
the assessment of the farming lands in
the country. The number of acres in
the township remains the anne 1t is
Il fair presumption that the increase
has been in the town property for the
most part. And the increase has been
lust about three times as great in six
wears since the mill was built as in
live years before it was built If the
lands and houses of the mill itself are
included, the increase has been about
five times us great,

A report that the Eastman Photograph
Company OF Rochester. N. Y. is buying UP
or negotiating for all of the Photographic

by some local dealers yesterday and ac-

through deny that there Is anything to Il.
but they are not supposed to admit any
thing. We have not been approached, nor
do we expect to be. We would not dis
pense with our branch. and If the company
cuts our supply of we will handle other

Forrest D. High does not credit the re-

purchase of st. Louis stores.
Il was reported that the firm of H. A.
Hyatt had already been purchased by the
Eastman Company. but this was denied
emphatically by H. A. Hyatt, who said
that he had not even been approached.
