HELPING DESERVING POOR

A citizen of our town was re-
Gently requested to help an indi-
gent old veteran. He refused
upon the ground that the object
of charity was shiftless, idle, and
a drunkard, and he preferred
giving to deserving people. The
excuse for refusing to contribute
was plausible, but the fact is,
there is not one case in a hundred,
where charity is needed, but what
vice, intemperance and laziness
are the causes. The deserving
poor, except in rare instances,
have noneed of charity, so-call-
ed, and wouldn't accept it if Of
fered. The virtuous. industrious
poor man, often gets into straighs
but don't want gratuitous contri-
buttons. Justice and fair pay for
services, or value received, are
preferable to any gift, as they
mean independence, which is the
backbone of prosperity, progress,
and true greatness.
The man who refused charity,
because Of the character of the
needy one, viii probably, never
be called upen to aid in helping
the deserving poor, from that
stand point, but there will not be
a day in his business life when
there is not a call for him to ex-
ereise the golden-rule measure
when dealing with his less for
tunate fellow-beings. 1t is real
charity to contribute to the needy,
who are such from any cause but
it is equally as noble and philan-
thropic for the prosperous and
independent to deal generously,
justly, and lend helping hand
to the worlds army of strugglers.
Whatever your position or where
ever your place in life, help peo-
pie to help Themselves, and there
will seldom be need to help in
charity, be the object deserving
OF undeserving-

THE PROSPERITY OF CUR
: COUNTY.

Individual honesty and integ-
rity are TIE main bulwarks Of our
nations strength. We expect
and demand it, in our dealings,
as man to man, and are ever
ready TO run the law on the
unfortunate delinquent. But, it
so happens, that there is a strong
tendency in human nature to ring
in a bargain, when dealing with
the corporation; the county, the
state, or even Uncle Sam himself,
no matter how honest we count
ourselves in private transactions.
1t is this mate instinct which is
the instigator Of assessment
frauds, whenever the value Of
property is appraised for taxation.
For years the question Of how
to make the financial tongue and
buckle meet, has puzzled ogr
public officials, and many have
urged raising taxes. But this
could not be done without inius-
hce to the struggling, nor could
general taxation be reduced with
out freeing those financially in.
dependent from their righteous
share in keeping up public ex-
!penses.
Our efficient Tax Assessor, Mr..
Linburn Cullen has solved this
puzzling problem in Lafayette
county, by making a close ant
conscientious investigation of The
value Of property, since high,
priced cotton, and fine crops have
=, put US on the high road to pros
perity.
Strange though it may seem
although most of US realized tina
property had advanced in value
and we were all ready and anxiou
, for progress, we never took int
consideration the consequent ad
vance in public expenses, AM
, didn't let taxes bother US. L

fall heaviest upon those enjoying
the most of this worlds goods an,

The increase in personal prop
. erty and real estate within tn
past year, has been phenomenal
! Horses, cattle, hogs, &C., hav,
increased greatly in number ant
