EDWARDS cos. VALUATION.
Auqusta's Assessors Have Placed i
at 81 ,260,141.

The assessors of the city of Augusta,
yesterday, fixed the valuation of the
real and personal property of the Ed
wards Manufacturing Co. at $3.50, l4l.
This is an increase over last year OF
$10,141, the valuation for 1902 having
been placed at $1.250,0O0. The city
council abated the tax on the sum of
$500, 600 so that the company paid
taxes on Il valuation of $l30,0O0.
Whether an abatement will be made
bv the city council this year is not
now known.
In assessing the value for 1903 the
assessors fixed the same on all the real
estate owned by the company, outside
of the mill plant, the same as they 90
on all other property of the kind owned
in the city. The company made Il re-
turn. at the request of the assessors,
giving the amount of the personal pro-
perty. This included the mills, the
machinery, stock, DAM etc, upon all
of which a valuation was placed aver
aging $10.25 a spindle.
The assessors say that they desired
to value the property OF the Edwards
CO. fairly, and to do this they investi-
gated the amounts assessed against
similar property iE all the cities of the
State and believe they have used the
company as fairly as other cities have
used their manufacturing establish
ments. If any doubt arose they gave
the company the benefit thereof.
The State assessors value mill pro-
perty at the rate of $l4 a spindle, which
includes all the real and personal es-

A TERRIBLE LIST
OF CrucIties Against Jews in Russia
Cars Strict Orders.

St. Petersburg, May 1.-THE minis
ter of the interior has circulated a long
official account OF the recent anti
Semitic outbreak at Kischenem. He
says 40 persons were killed and 424 in
iured and that 100 houses and GOO
shops were looted. The minister at
tributes the rioting to religious i'll viii
and reports of ritual murders, leading
to a clamor for an attack on the Jews
and says the immediate cause of the
outbreak was the ill-treatment of a
Christian woman by Jew.
The interior minister, on the direct
instructions of the car, has notified
the governors that they will be per
sonally responsible for their failure tC
take proper measures to prevent similar
acts of violence.
