MORE SOCIAL EQUALITY.

1t looks very much as if the
Republican party has deliberate
ly set out to make the question
OF social equality the leading
issue in the next campaignA Mr..
Hanna's invitation to Judson
Lyons to be present at a dinner
given to his friends at Washing
ton on Saturday last, coupled
with Mr.. Roosevelt's late esca-
pade with Booker II. Washing
ton, point strongly in the direc-
ton of our caption.
That Mr.. Hanna is an able man.
not even his bitterest enemies
will deny. He could not have
gotten his position both POLITICAL
ly and financially had he been
otherwise. But with all his great
ness he has made a mistake that
will rebound upon his party and
add to the chances of his oppo-
nents in 1904.
Between Roosevelt and Hanna
there is no choice. Therefore,
let the Democrats look to their
former triumphs and use this as
one of the great incentives for
victory. A failure upon the part
OF the Democrats in the next
presidential election will bring
about crisis in the color line
that will mean more to the whole
country than appears upon it's
surface.
The South is we'll able to care
for herself in this as in all things,
but we would regret to see the
hatred such an issue would en-
gender, the crime such hatred
would inevitably bring about, and
the misery such crime would in
fllct upon each and every COM
munlty. Safety lies only in the
triumph of the Democratic party.

tFrom the Lynchburg va News)


In an editorial in this paper a
few days ago on the Fitzgerald
colony in south Georgia, the
types made us say that the colony
was composed of 1000 negroes
from the northwest, whereas we
wrote 1000 citizens from the
northwest. A careful reading
of the article ought to have con-
WINGED the intelligent reader that
the word negro was a misprint.
Yet several of our exchanges, in
Guiding the Washington Post,
failed to detect the mistake and
discussed the Fitzgerald colony
as negro settlement. So far
from this being true, no negroes
are allowed to live in Fitzgerald.
From the very beginning the
proclamation went forth, No
negro need apply" 1.-THE colonists
are thifty, intelligent, industrious
white men from Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri. Their success
has been phenomenal. The
colony of 10000, which Mr.. Fitz-
gerald expects to lead next
spring will be composed of SINH
lar material, and it may be pre-
dlcted with confidence that the
same success will attend next
years movement.

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.

EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
1t appears that errors are IL
able to be made in the descrip-
ton of real estate by the receiver
and collector of taxes. You get
receipt from the collector and
there is an error in the descrip-
ton of your real estate, which
means that you have no credit
for your money paid and that the
tax on your lot or tract of land is
still unpaid, and that said lot or
tract of land may be advertised
for sale and sold away from you,
and you all the time thinking the
tax was paid. But perhaps you
discover the error in the receipt
in time and go to the collector to
have it corrected, He does so
accommodatingly on presenta-
ton Of your evidence. So far,
good, but what if the error is
copied from the receivers slip or
record, it will remain there for
all Its having been corrected on
the receipt, and will not your lot
or tract be advertised for sale
anyhow, in spite of your receipt
for the tax? Is THERE ANY WAY
TO HAVE THE ERROR CORRECTED ON
THE RECEIVER SLIP OR RECORD AS
SOON AS IT IS DISCOVERED ON THE
TAX RECEIPT, TO PREVENT THE
LOT OR TRACT FROM BEING PUT UP
FOR SALE? The average people
have little knowledge on the sub
ject.
Perhaps, Mr.. Editor, you are
able to give valuable information.
The matter is evidently of i'm
portancc. People want to feel
secure in what they have paid
for. This is necessary for sue
cessful real estate business, By
giving some light on the subject,
you will undoubtedly oblige more
than one.
CITIZEN,
Yes, our system is far from
perfect, but is perhaps good
enough in a county where the
subdivisions of land are several
hundred acres as the original
land lots in this county, but in
this community with eleven
thousand lots and tracts, the sys-
tenn is very unsatisfactory, but
as this Is the only instance in all
the 1877 counties in the state, of
course change in the system
cannot be reasonably expected.
LIST the lax payer must return
his taxes correctly as to number,
being careful that each lot or
tract is properly listed, then when
he pays his tax he should use the
same care to see that each num-
Der is included in the tax receipt.
With these precautions 20 harm
can come to the tax payer, pro-
yided he preserves his tax re-
ceipts, which might be filed away
carefully with the deeds them
To the man who is careless
about writing the numbers in his
returns and who neglects to see
that the numbers are properly
in the receipt, the sys,
ten, Qf returning and collecting
state and county taxes, is de.
lusion and a snare.
