"Actual Value. ="

There seems to be great deal OF
discussion MS to whether both real and
personal property is TO be assessed at
it's true and actual value or not. In
order that the taxpayer may see the
section of the new law which relates
to this subject we herewith publish it
verbatim:
"All property. both real and per-
sonaI. in any county. except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, shall be
assessed as of the first dav of April of
each year at its true and actual value
that is to say at thesprice for which
such property would sell if voluntarily
offered for sale by the owner thereof.
uDon such terms as such property.
the value of which Is sought to be
asertained, is usually sold, and rnot
the price which might be realized il
such property were sold at forced
sale. THAT part of the section which
relates to the rannual Assessment of
real estate does not take effect. until
January /. 1907
According to the above we do not see
how property sscan be assessed below
ths price that it would bring if the
property were sold according to the
rule relating to real estate. There is
no doubt but what this is a good law.
for it puts the rich and poor in the
same footing; thereby establishing "a
Just and equitable system Of taxation.
For instance; the man who owns a
piece of property worth $4,000 has
inst as much right to pay in proper.
tion to its value as the humble laborer
who owns his home not worth more
than $500, but has it assessed at S400
or more. Thus 1t can be readily seen
that this new Law catches the tax
dodGer who has succeeded in escaping
paying his just share of taxeSfor many
wears.

A NEW LIFE BOAT.
INVENTION OF a NEW ENGLAND
sEA-FARING MAN.
1t VIII Hold Up One Hundred People
and Is Claimed to Be Unsink-
able in the Toughest
Seas

Boston.-The new life float invented
by Capt l.. w. Myers, who has been
In charge of the United States light
house in Lubec Narrows. promises to
be a wonderful aid for the saving OF
lives during shipwreck.
During the past 80 years the In
ventor has followed the seas and has
had considerable experience on sailing
boats and steamers, and saw there was
an opportunity Of improving on the
present style of life boats and life RATS
such as are carried on the largest
steamers which go TO all parts of the
world.
1t was about Is years ago that he
first began work on the model of the
boat which he has now built, but dur
ing these years he has made many i'm
provements and changes on the orig
inal design.
The boat is similar In shape to sad
iron, but is built substantial, light, com.
Portable and compact, so that two OF
them will not take up more room on
the deck Of steamer than one OF the
ordinary life RATS.
The craft is 16 feet long, seven feet
wide. three and one-half feet deep and
has 156 air-tight compartments and will
float about $500 pounds of dead weight
says the Globe. She will accommodate
20 people inside and az many on the
outside, but in case of necessity more
can be taken inside, and with the hand
lines on the side 1t would not be
difficult for the craft to hold up 100
people.
Inside are two water tanks, and pro-
visions can be stored away for 20 people
suitable for 20 days on half rations
while the anchor, oars. mast, sail and

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

He neglected to take Foley's Kidney
Cure at the first signs of Kidney trouble

disappear, the kidneys are strengthened

be taken on board.
When loaded the boat will draw about
Is inches of water, and at the present
time she will draw only five inches, so
that she will be able to pass over a
very shallow bar or rocks in safety, and
as the boat is called "non-sinkable, -
those inside or out will have a far bet
ter chance to battle with the heavy seas
than with the ordinary life raft of the
present day, and the usual life boat is
as an egg shell compared with Capt.
Myers boat
There are two heavy pieces of plate
glass on both bottom and top Of the
craft so that those inside can read and
write easily when the windows and
doors are fastened down, and cushions
are provided for those inside to sit on,
while straps are provided to place over
the arms when the weather Is very
rough.
To get fresh air inside two pipes of
two-inch are provided, each being fitted
with stop corks, so that no matter
which side of the boat is up the occu-
pants can be supplied, but when the
seas are not rough the two doors can
be left open, and there is plenty of room
outside ON the deck where one can go
with more safety than on life raft or
in life boat.
There are four doors fitted TO the
craft, two on the top and two on the
bottom, although ii does not matter
which side is up. as they are exactly

turn over In the sea when the doors are
fastened from the inside.
A sail and jib are also fitted to the
boat, also a rudder on each end, and
chances for four to six men at the oars

man can operate the craft without diff

She is built of heavy oak planks COW
cred with galvanized steel inside and
out, and even II a number of the water
tight compartments should be broken
| she would continue to float, as Capt.
Myers says she will keep up at least 100
| people in the water.
Around the middle of the boat are
heavy guards having Is guard lines
which can be held by anyone overheard
and with these ropes IS men can pick up
the boat and carry 1t along. 1t will not

even a small child can pull the string

( do is to wait until the seas wash her
over the sides of the steamer, and she
is bound to come up one side. top OF

to those inside.
The stems OF the boat are II inches
in thickness, and If anything should bt

a Team for Sumter Should Be Or
ga.ized.

The baseball craze is beginning to
spread al over the country. and the
interest in tee national game is be-
coming naoze manifest year by year.
Last summer the people Of Sumter
were n,ak.2g all kinds Of wild specu-
aations for the organization of a home
fes1n and the formation Of small
aeasae an. ing the surrounding towns
for sl.f. now near r-at-haad season. If
ANYTHING is to be done ia that direction
1T must be done Immediately. We can
not afford to wait.
First. the stock company. which is
to run the team. sAeaId be perfected.
and the officers and directors elected.
The reason fer this kasty organization
is apparent. Nothing can be accom-
plished until seme town takes the
Initiative; it is necessary that other
towns be invited to jein the league;
a schedule must be arranged. and
more important than anything else. a
squad of goed players must be signed.
The question then is. do the SUM
ter people desire a baseball team LOT
this summer9 If the answer be in the
affirmative the time is most opportune
now for steps to betaken in that OIL
rection. When the long. tiresome sum-
mer afternoons. the lack Of amuse-
anents in town at that time. and. above
all. the prominence that good team
would give tAe city are considered
there are few who would raise a DIS
senting voice to the organization or the
Game Cock city's baseball team. so
If the team is to be reality. let's be
up and doing.
