OLIyETTE WAS FINE.
Manhattan Opera Company Pleased
Audience Here.

Olivette, sung by the Manhattan
Opera company on last Tuesday even
ing AT the city opera house, was by
long odds the best show that has been
to this city in long time. The audi
ence was quite slim, giving but poor
inspiration to the players, who really
deserved a good house and who in
spite of the small crowd and some
continuous talking and laughing a
mong those in the audience sang and
acted their parts in most pleasing
style.
While the chorus was not especially
strong in the music line. the principals
in the cast possessed fine voices and
were actors of ability. Especially did
Miss kittie Nice Perle and Miss Nella
Brown please; the duet by them was
particularly good, eliciting much ap-
plause. Messrs Stall. Warner and
Vaughn had good voices and carried
their parts we'll; while Mr.. Wilbur
Cox was first-rate comedian Great
ing many ridiculous and laughable
scenes.
There is just enough plot to Olivette
TO hold attention and altogether it is
a very pretty little opera. The opera
house management deserve commen-
dation for bringing such companies
to Laurens.

PROSPERITY OF THE FARMER
Agriculture is Undergoing Great Chan
geS I'm The South.

This year we shall raise 1000 000,-
realize what that means. says writer
in Success. Ii is a harvest greater
than the bumper crop of 1906. These
1900, 100000 bushels will be worth to
the farmer over $500 900 900, or over
three times as much as the corn was
worth in 1886. Last year the value
of all farm products in the United
States was almost $4,000. 900 900; this
year it will be over SIS 900 900 900. This
is more than the entire wealth of
America in 1850. In 1850 the farms
OF the United States were worth less
than $4,000 100000, today they are
worth $2S0OO 100000. Every day the
farms Of the country are worth SO ,400,-
600 more than they were worth the
day before
1t is a good thing for the people at
large that the farmers are getting
their share OF the general increase in
wealth. The $2S.00O 600 900 that they
get each year amounts to only 500
apiece when it is distributed over all
the farmers and farm laborers in the
country. But the per capita amount
is growing and is bound to grow still
more.
During the next twenty years we
are going ~ 80" great revolution in
farming. Agriculture is to be more
intelligent and moro intense. new
plants are to be introduced, better
use is TO be made of the land and an
acre VIII produce twice as much as 1t
now produces. The benefit of this
new production should not be monopo-
1ized by railroads, elevator companies
and harvester trusts. 1t should go to
the people, and II should show itself
in better food. clothing and housing
ard in more widespread education for
the great mass Of US.

suit in the district court against the
state board of equalization asking
that that board be compelled to as
sess all roads on the mileage system.
Now that he is on the board OF equal
ization it is understood that he will
make the same fight before that board
for the new system of distribution
The effect of the change, if made.
would be to greatly increase taxes in
the more prosperous and thickly pop
ulated counties of the state and low
er them in the poorer counties. 1t is
probable that the railroads will op-
pose any such change also, for in
some counties there are miles of line
where almost no business is done and
they would become burden of eX-
pense If placed under a large mileage
taxation.
The present system distributes the
assessments according to the popula-
tion of the counties through which
the roads pass and the volume of
business done over them. For in
stance. taking the Rio Grande road
the total valuation is 3 million dol
lars. Between Denver and Pueblo
and between Newcastle and Grand
Junction the assessment per mile
reaches $4,000. The greatest amount
of the Rio Grande business is done
between Denver and Pueblo, while
the use of the tracks between New
castle and Grand Junction by the
Midland road makes the business
there very heavy. Between Pueblo
and Salida the assessment drops to
$4,000 a mile; between Pueblo and
Alamosa to $500 a mile. Between
Alamosa and Durango and between
Salida and Telluride the assessment
is S5,5 a mile, while between Tel
luride and Durango it is $4,000 n
mile. The effect of changing the
railroad assessment system would be
therefore to change the entire county
system.
1t is understood that AttorneysGen-
eral Barnett wants the system to be
changed this year. His suit in the
district courts by which he sought to
mandamus the board of equalization
demands that all assessments for the
past two years be altered, II has not
yet been settled.-Denver Republi-
