TO REASSESS PROPERTY.
A Matter of Great Moment to The
Taxpayer.-The Scale Different
in Different Counties.

Columbia, Nov. 3-On January I
the taxable property Of the State will
be liable to a resassessment.
It is most important and far
reaching problem, and has for all
time been, how TO get property on the
tax books at full valuation.
Comptroller General Jones is Of
the opinion that the constitutional and
Statutory laws ought to be enforced
and that property should be assessed
r: It's Iull value, that is upon one
hundred per cent. basis, and that it
Is clear violation of law to under
take to arbitrarily assess property on
4 fifty or sixty per cent basis when
the law directs otherwise. It has
grown out Of the custom and 1t is
a habit that appears to have sup
planted the law.
Mr.. Jones thinks that full valuation
will not mean additional taxation, but
he is anxious to have all property pay
upon an equal basis. Some property
and some counties, he thinks, are now
paying on higher basis than others.
He can do nothing but point out and
undertake to have the. remedy ap-
piled and hopes to have every county
in the State placed on the proper
basis. There is now on the tax
books of the State real and personal
property-all property-an assessed
valuation of $2Io,ooo,ooo. Mr.. Jones
is satisfied that the aggregate of the
zeal estate, personal property, bank
stocks, cotton mills, railroad property
and other classes of taxable properties
is word1 $6oo,ooo,ooo, and he thinks
that the present assessment ought
after January next to run up to twice
what it now is and reach the $4oo, o,ooo,-
600 mark with ease.
Mr.. Jones says he hopes to have
Che taxable property in the State
reach that figure, and if it does there
will be no proportionate increase in
the taxation, because with large as
sessment more money would be raised
and the rate of taxation is always de-
pendent on the amount of available
property for taxation.
r. If there were one board in Colun-
bia to handle the entire matter of tax
alton and each county did not pull
quite so hard for it's own property
folders, there would be an entirely
different state of affairs in the mat
Ter Of assessments.
No intelligent inquiry has been
made for the State as whole as to
che present basis of market valuations,
as compared with assessed valuations
and until this is done it is difficult to
see how real estate and farm lands
are to be gotten to anything like their
value on the tax books, except in
those counties where the officers are
orthodox and do their full duty.

The Game.

Association football is undoubtly
the oldest OF all English national
sports. IL has now developed into a
number Of highly organized games,
and the difficulty Of finding its actual
origin is as great as that of discover
ing the commencement Of athletic
contests.
The game is played by eleven men
on each side one advance forward,
six forwards, three backs and one goal
keeper, The game is commenced by
place kick from the center of the
field OF play, opponents not being al
lowed within ten yards of the ball.
The object of the game is to advance
the ball toward your opponents goal
and then kick 1t through, which Is
the only method Of scoring.
After a goal is scored the losing side
kicks Off, and after charge OF ends
at half.time the ball is kicked of by
the opposite side, which originally did
so. When the ball passes over the
touch-line (sde line) it is thrown In
by player of the side opposite to that
which played IL out. The player
throwing the ball must stand on
touch-line facing the field OF play and
throw the ball in over his head with
both hands, the ball being played by
another player. When the ball is
played behind the goal-line by player
of the opposite side, it is kicked of by
any one OF the players behind whose
goal-lne 1t went within the goal area,
but If play ed behind by anyone of the

SUICIDE AN HONORABLE DEATH
Strange Belief Among the chukehees
Of Siberia.

Strange Belief Among the chukehees
Of Siberia.
A Russian correspondent was talk
ing about Siberia.
"In that strange land" he said, the
strangest thing is the suicidal ten
dency of the Chukchees. Among the
Chukchees. actually, suicide is one oil
the most common forms of death.
THE Chukchees live in northeastern
Siberia. They are small and copper
colored. They dress in skins and ride
reindeer Tallow and raw kidney are
their chief delicacIes. In every Chuk'
chez house hangs death coat.
"A Chukchee doesn't kill himself by
his own hand. He appoints his near
est relative--his wife, son or daughter
to do the deed And the delegate
never rebels, never declines this sad
and horrible task
"Innumerable are the causes OF sui.
cide-jeaiousy, unrequited love, an in
durable disease, melancholy. poverty
and SO on.
II knew a man who was prosperous
and apparently happy. Suddenly de-
sire for death seized him. In three
months he said, L will go home to
my fathers And he calmly settled
his affairs and at the appointed time
babe his wife to knot cord about his
throat and his two sons TO pull upon
this cord till he should be strangled.
He died, they told me, joking
THE death coat which hangs in
every Chukchee house has hood. 1t
is for use in suicide. The hood hides
the facial contortions of the dying.
There are Chukchee families where
in suicide is hereditary, wherein 1t is
point Of honor for the sons to kill
themselves. a natural death being re-
Earded in such families as disgraceful
anu scandalous, a sign of the most un.
pardonable cowardice.
The Chukchees, despite their sui
cidal tendency, are a happy and
healthy people, moral, truthful, Draws
and temperate"
