TAX RETURNS.
There Has Been Gratifying Increase
in the Valuation Oh Real Estate.

Auditor Wilder is still hard at work
on the tax returns and there are still
two townships to be worked up. AS
soon as these two townships have been
completed the county board of equali-
zation will be called to meet. All of
the townships except -Mayesville
show a gratifying increase in the
valuation of real estate, the increase
ranging from Is to SO per cent. while
the average increase by townships is
about 40 per cent. Mayesville, the
single exception, shows a decrease of
13 $40 per cent. The banner town
ship is Manchester, which shows an
increase of 50 per cent. over the last
returns. When the county board of
equalization completes its work, it is
hoped the returns will be really and
truly equalized.

TAX COLLECTIONS.
State and County Taxes Collected By
Treasurer Lee.

County Treasurer Lee stated Friday,
in response to an inquiry, chat the to-
tai amount of taxes collected for the
year 1905 largely exceeded the collec-
tons for 1904. The increase was not
due so much to better average collec-
tions but to the largely increased
amount of property on the books.
Above the usual percentage of taxes
were left uncollected when the books
closed on March y. The amoGnts col
lected in 1904 and 1905 were S62, S75.-
49 and s74,O49.5S respectively in
crease of s11,173.O9 in 1905 over 1904.

The Sumter County Medical Asso-
citation met last night with full at
tendance of members. The usual rou-
tine business was transacted and the
special programme arranged for the
meeting carried out. The only matter
of general interest was the adoption Of
a resolution endorsing the action OF
the State Medical Association and
many of the county associations in de-
Gliding the fee for all insurance exam
nations at S5. This action was taken
as a. result of the concerted effort OF
the life insurance companies to cut
down the examination fees paid ply
sicians.
