from office :. I. Carter and b. T.. Bart,
assessors OF Fayette county.
Under the new tax Law $, the state
tax commissioner IL charged with the
duty Of supervising the assessment
Of property for taxation, and In carry
ing out what he conceived TO b. his
duty under the law Dillon u few days
ago went to Fayette county to look
into the matter Of assessing the lease
hold estates of the county. He found
that the assessors proposed to place the
valuation of that kind Of property at
figures much smaller than he thought
proper, and 80 suggested certain
amounts that would have made the
total about Ave and half million for
the county.
He gave these figures to the assessors
and warned them that unless they
made the assessments somewhere
fital ttCtsA ht Wthiti btiih hh A&tsth W
GUST them.
The assessment WAS finally made az
ter the commissioner had threatened
to resort to mandamus proceeding but
the figures given did not conform to
Commissioner Dillon's idea Of the true
and actual value Of the properties, but
the aggregate value Of the coal Ieasehold
az returned by the assessors being $780,
900. while their ualue as estimated by
Commissioner Dillon and which the
assessors refused to adopt II 80, $50 900.
In the petition filed by him Dillon
alleges that the assessors have willful-
~ and fraudulently discarded the law
and violated their oath Of office, and
that they were Influenced to do 80 by
the owners Of the property
The case IL one OF the sensations Of
the year, which has heen prolific Of
sensational proceedings In the attempt
to carry out the new. tax laws.
The coal lease holders In Fayette
county were last year assessed ut $751;
900.

There sis lamen:able lack Of in.
terest in the organization Of sons Of
Veterans in Anderson. The local
camp is in oomatose' condition
throughout the year, only coming to
life about the time Of the annual Re.
unions, and some one desires to 20 "a
delegate to these meetings. Even
then, it is almost impossible to secure
proper attendance for the trausao.
tion of necessary business. This
should not be 80. The attendance on
the occasions of the Reunions is very
proper and indeed necessary, but sure.
~ the organization has other and
create! reasons for EXISTENCE than
this alone. AS is set forth in the
general constitution the Sons of Vet.
erans wero organized to perpetnate
and keep alive the memory and deeds
Of onr fathers, among other things.
There is great work tor it, ind We
hope to see the Camp here stir it,
selfsstrom the lethaary into which il
has fallen and do something to justify
its exfstenoe.

Grand Representative Thos. G. Wat
son, of the Odd Fellows of Florida,
who has been absent from the city
for the past two months visiting
prominent cities in the East and in
Canada has returned, accompanied by
Mrs. Watson, who made the trip with
him. While absent Mr.. Watson at
tended the sessions of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, |. o. OF, during the
third week of September, held in
Toronto. Canada, and which were pro-
nounced by Mr.. Watson to be the
most delightful and interesting OF the
many he has attended.
The reports of the officers" said
Mr. Watson yesterday afternoon in
speaking of the grand lodge sessions
10 Journal representative, showed
the remarkable gain of over 10000
members during the year 1905, and
the total number of persons belong
inC to the order on Dec. 81, 1905, ag-
gregated 1,6O0.712, which places it up
on the pinnacle of the various frater-
nal organizations on the globe.
The total amount expended for re-
lief for 1905 was $4,6S0, 3S7.74, and this
did not include the amounts sent by
members of the order to California for
The relief of Odd Fellow sufferers from
The earthquake, which amounted to
inlly quarter of million dollars.

hership." continued Mr.. Watson, 'is in

GRAND REPRESENTATIVE
WATSON RETURNS HOME
ATTENDED SESSION OF I. O. O. F. IN TORONTO
AND SPENT TWO MONTHS VISITING
VARIOUS CITIES IN CANADA
i., AND THE EAST.

Netherlands, Sweden. Switzerland,
Ind dozen other countries. The in
fiuence of the order is widespread,
and its system OF government is al
most perfect, its achievements during
the past century being marvellous, and
challenging the admiration of the
whole intelligent and thinking peo-
pie"
After the close of the session Mr..
and Mrs. Watson visited several in
teresting cities in Canada, among
them being Montreal and Quebec, the
latter being one of the most interest
ing on this continent. Every city he
visited, said Mr. Watson, showed evil
dence of prosperity. workmen being
in demand in ali branches, with few
strikes, which was very gratifying.
Tine first accounts of the storm in
Pensacola that we read" said Mr.
Watson, were very depressing. The
northern papers contained large
head lines, and one of them said:
1 Pensacola Wiped Out of Existence by
Cyclone or Tornado but as soon as
we could get communication by wire
we found that the earlier account had
been greatly exaggerated"
| Since his return Mr.. Watson has
not had an opportunity. to view the
ravages of the storm along the water
front, but he feels confident that Pen
sacola will soon assume her former
proud position, in fact is fast doing sc
now, and that the hurricane will be
remembered as only an unpleasant oc
currence of 1906, with all signs of itt
visit wiped out
