TAXES ARE HIGHER.
Auditor Werts Turned Over DupE-
cate.-A Look at the Tax Du-
plieate.

Auditor Eugene S. Werts, several
days ago completed his duplicate OF
the taxable property in Newberry
county, and the books were placed
in the hands of the County Treasurer
for the collection Of the taxes for
State and County purposes.
The tax levies are higher this year
than they have been for severalyears.
In the incr osed valuation Of tax
able property instead Of the levles
going down, or even remaining the
same, they have increased.
The total taxable property IN
Newberry county, according to the
abstract made up by Auditor Werts,
is $7,O75,598.O0; the total tax charg-
ed against the property of this coun-
ty for all purposes is $131,972.l7; for
State purposes the total is $37,l46,-
I8S; for county and all other pur-
poses including schools $94,82o,29;
making the total given above.
The total amount of tax for ordl-
nary county purposes. including the
one mill for roads, and the one mill
for past indebtedness and court house
| is S38,915.77. All Of this is for the
running expenses Of the county e1-
cept one-half mill, which is used to
pay the court house debt. The three
mills for constitutional school,
amounts to $21, ,226.79.
In the Newberry school district: IN
addition to the three mills, there IS
levy of six mills. which gives Sl3,-
596.4l for school purposes in this
District, and in addition to that in
| No. | Township, We pay for schools
(three mills) s7,577.76.
In No. l Township the total tax
able property is s2,525,92O.
The next largest township is No.
9 with S712,l75, and the next is No.
4 with $7O1,325; these three Town.
ships pay more than one-half of the

The Festival of the Reformation
will be celebrated at the Lutheran
Church Of the Redeemer Sunday.
The sermon will be preached by
Rev, J. E. 'Whitteker, D. D., of Lam
caster. Pa. Rev. Whitteker is a
sAendid preacher, and fine orator.
His book, 1.-THE Separated Life, .
which has just come out from the

ment and considerable interest
throughout The United States.

There are 1917 horses returned;
valued at $S0,410.
There are $500 mules returned at
value Of $26O,755.
There are 1920 cattle valued at
$j3,6j5.
There are only 1880 sheep and
goats returned at a valuation Of
$1,2S0.
In No. 2 Township there is only
one return Of two sheep and goats.
In No. there are 329 sheep and
goats.
There are only 4,O87 hogs return
ed at a valuation Of $1O,23O. It will
be seen that the hogs are valued at
less than $3.50 each.
As against the 1880 sheep and
goats valued at $3.50, there are
3,464 dogs. A license tax Of fifty
cents per head is paid from which is
realized $1,732 which goes to the
school fund The dogs are also as
sessed as property on a minimum
valuation fixed by law Of five dollars
each. Under this head there are
2.263 dogs valued at $l3,l95.
The largest number in any
is in No. 9. where
596 are reported. and in No. 4
401. 1t may be that this large num-
Der of dogs accounts for the small
number Of sheep and goats.
There are 6,292 polls charged.
In Township Nos. l, s and 9 there
is a special railroad tax, and in sew
eral of the school districts there Is
special tax for school purposes.
The total tax for the county for
school purposes is $39,935.W, this
includes special districts and the
regular tax.
Comparing the tax returns of l9OS
with those Of 1909 We find that there
has been a small increase in the tax
able property. The insurance pre-
miums which were returned i'll 1905,
are now not returned under the new
insurance laws. The totals Of this
item in 1908 was $124,7O1. Even add
ing this to the returns for l9O9
makes the total only about 100000
more than in 1908. The total TAXA
bic property. accordin" to the audi
tors books in 1908. was S1.063.23|
which included. as stated. the III

surance premiums. AS a matter Of
fact the increase is just about $l0,-
900.
1t will be interesting to compare
some Of the figures. The following
show the returns for 1908:
Horses 1,215, valued at $S2,910,
against 1879 for 1909, valued at $780,
40.
|: 1868 cattle valued at $53,925.
4,O57 mules valued at $27O,9O5.
1926 goats and sheep valued at
1850.
3,695 hogs valued al $9,605.
There has been a marked decrease
in the number of dogs. In 1908 there
we're 2,745 valued at $13,835, against
2,263 for 1909 valued at $13,l95.
There are 107 more dogs this year
under the fifty cents license tax than

Practical Lessons.

Animal raising, particularly
hogs, are earnestly attracting the
attention of agriculturalists. jour-
nalists, psychologists and all the
other ologists in the catalogue.
There must be something in it.
Here are some practical results.
Mr.. Nat Coussons, of Dubberly,
a farmer, last week finished pack
ing down 2.342 pounds of home
raised pork. In addition he sold
$500 pounds at IL cents which
realized him about S250.00. His
hogs were fattened on oats, peas,
potatoes. sorghum, etc., and %
bushels of corn.
j. Ii. Ratcliff, of Webster par
ish, farmer, butchered a hog
that weighed $50 pounds. He
made 800 pounds of lard which
be sold at IL 1-2 cents and lot
of sausage for the same price. He
realized $40 from the single hog,
equal to a bale Of cotton.
j. L. Clark, of Irma, bought at
the State Fair at Shreveport, in
1907, four blooded red Jersey pigs
for which he paid $132. His
neighbors called it extravaganza.
The next spring he sold enough
