The treasurer of Laurens county re-
ports that taxes are coming in very
slowly. Investigation proves that they
are being paid as fast as usual for the
time of the year. There is doubtless
money in the country with which to pay
them, but the disposition of most peo-
pie is to put off the payment of taxes
until the last moment. 1t would be
much easier on the treasurer if those
who can pay now would not delay it;
besides that would to an extent help to
relieve the stress of money.
