State Board of Taxation.

The State Board of Equalization of Taxes
has arranged meeting at Mount Holly,
on Wednesday, January "a, for the pur
pose of hearing complaints or suggestions
on tax questions
Under the instructions of the board,
ately to the assessors of every taxing dis
/ trict in the State:
4 by section of the act creating the
board for the equalization of taxes, it is
board to investigate the method adopted
by local assessors in the assessment of real
and personal property in this state, and to
ascertain wherein existing tax laws are de-
fective or are improperly or negligently
administered, to the end that they make
such corrections as are necessary, and to
report from time to time to the Legis-
lature
I'm order more effectually to carry out
the intent of this act, the board has re-
solved to hold a series of meetings within
the next few weeks, sitting at the county
seat in each county of the state, to hear
both assessing officers and taxpayers on
the matters set forth in that section, and to
receive suggestions along these lines.
''To that end, the assessors in the coun-
ties will be requested to attend these
meetings and give information as to the
practical working of the present tax sys-
tenn in their respective taxing districts.
''These meetings, of course, will not in
clude the hearing of complaints brought
before the board under the statute on pc
tition. They are purely for the purpose
of information and mutual assistance.
In accordance Herewith, this board has
appointed days as set forth above at 1920
a. m. for these meetings, at which time
you are invited to be present to assist us
in carrying out the purposes of the reso-
luton.
1t would please this board greatly to
meet the citizens of your county who may
have suggestions or views to present on
the subject Of the proper administration
of the present tax laws, as we'll as
your township or municipal authorities. |
We would be obliged if you would kindly |
extend this invitation to them. We trust
you will make it point to be present,
as we desire your assistance, and an inter-
change of views between us may be greatly
beneficial"
The letters will be sent out in the name
Of Major Carl LentZ, president of the board

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of-the ear. THERE'S only
one way to cure deafness, and that is 10y the
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
BY an infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tub.
is infiamed you have rumbling sound OF i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely cIu.,,l.
deafness is the result, and unless irtlamuia-
ton can be taken out aud this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will b. de
stroyed forever; Line cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrii, which is nothing but an

The Tribute to Wade Hampton.
Raleigh Evening Times

Raleigh Evening Times
There is Just one distinguished citi-
zen of South Carolina who will not
be thrilled over the recollection of
Wade Hampton's magnificent record
and fine service in behalf OF the white
people when the equestrian statue is
unveiled in the city Of Columbia on
November 20. That distinguished
citizen is Beniaman Ryan Tillman.
Forgetting that he was q hero in time
of war and in time OF peace the fol
lowers of the Tillman movement
turned Hampton down in the legis-
lature and elected another man
whose sole asset was wild talk and
the power of creating class hatred.
Wade Hampton was the greatest
statesman South Carolina produced
since the day of John C.. Calhoun.
His effort to redeem the state from
negro and carpet-bag rule was no
less conspicuous than his brilliant
achievement on the field of BATTLE
He saved the commonwealth, he was
the head of q democratic organiza-
tion that drove out white and black
thieves, and whipped the enemy SO
completely that not II vestiage OF the
republican party is left standing
thirty years after the first battle was
fought at the polls Hampton's name
is hsnored and revered by people
among whom decency and principle
and appreciation are bred in the
bone. They have never countenanced
the shameless attack upon him and
to elevate IL man wholly unfit to
wear his shoes in the senate OF the
United States. But Wade Hampton
will still be loved and his record
cherished when the name of Tillman
is seldom heard. The old chieftain liz
dead now. He is resting after the
struggle and the hardships, but when
his eyes closed for the eternal sleep
it was with the consciousness that
he had never shirked n public duty,
never had proved false to q friend or
a trust. And yet this fine tribute
that will be paid him now will not
blot out ofmemory the contemplate
treatment accorded him by those he
had served, those he had saved from
the black yoke upon their neck. 1t
was bad enough to repudiate the
great man when his hold on life was
brief, but it makes the blood boil to
recall the conduct of his enemies who
sent him back, heart-broken, to his
home, while Tillman took up the
robe of office which he could not
worthily wear.

the Santa Fe Central brakeman, in
