Mr.. clohan's statement

Dear Sir:-One of the Oldest tricks
known to the police is where the
sneak thief grabs pocket book, starts
TO run, cries stop thief diverts at
tention from himself and thereby es.
capes with his booty.
The real question is whether Mr.
Henshaw has been assessed on his
seventeen tracts CT land on the rule
he advocates the true and actual
value" To divert attention from this
he calls attention to the fact, unknown
te me until last evening, when ! saw
his diverting article in the paper that
was only assessed fifty dollars for
household goods fer 1911. evid entity
the intention being to create the i'm.
preston that in limited way / was
as great tax dodger as the champion
heavyweight tax dod .ser Of the coun-
ty.
The truth is, that we sold our house
and went to boarding in October, 1910,
and have been boarding ever since;
consequently should not have been as
sessed with any household goods for
1911. In looking over the tax bills
find that my household goods were as
sessed in
1908 at $3.50, total personal, $l,506
1899 at 5000, total personal, s465
1910 at $500, total personal, SAILS

Resolutions.


After the above report had been
read and unanimously adopted resolu.
tons, expressing the sense OF the
meeting in regard to the unfair tax
valuations of orchards by the Board OF
Equalization, were likewise adopted,
as follows:
Whereas the report of the commit
tee on taxation just adopted, shows
that the actions of the two members
of the Board Equalization, Mr. J. A.
Sites and Mr.. ]. w. Stewart Strong,
are Inconsistent with and antagonistic
to the spirit of our institutions and a
blight upon the administration of gov
eminent, bringing about condition
that should not and must not exist in
our enlightened community: and
Whereas, the conduct of these two
men in the affairs of their Office shows
an utter disregard for the solem1 obi
cation and oath each respectively took
before entering upon their duties. eth
er by intentional nalfeasance or total
incompetency; and
Whereas, the only remedy given
under the statue is to petition the
Board of Public Works for their re-
moval; now therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we request the
Board of Public Works to remove
Messrs. J. w. s. Strong and J. A. Sites
from the Board of Equalization oil
Berkeley county.
Resolved. further, that the presiding
officer OF this meeting do now appoint
committee of three, of which he
shall be one. for the purpose Of pre-
pairing charges, prosecuting the same,
and demanding the removal OF these
men from Office.
Resolved, further. That the expense
incident herewith be paid out OF the
treasury of this society.

ARMY AND NAVY

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
Society of Naval Architects and Mar
inc Engineers, at it's annual meeting
today, accepted with expressions OF
regret the resignation Of Naval Con
structor w. j. Baxter, as it's secre
tary. Illness was the reason Mr.. BaX
ter gave for resignilg the office he
had held since 1903.
Several papers were read today. The
general meeting closed tonight with
dinner at which Secretary of the Navy
Meyer was one of the speakers.
Secretary Meyer declared that bat
tie practice is but lest OF engineer
ing appliances, and said this condi
ton is bringing about changes in per
sonnet and organization. I'VE see
plainly now" he said, that Il man
can be both a line officer and al en-
gineer. In fact, he can not he a good
fighter unless he is an engineer"
Explaining his ideas OF amaigamat
ing certain staff corps with the line
of the navy, the Secretary continued:
The underlying principles have
been that all the combatant elements
aboard ship should belong 10 the same
corps that is, the line, and, further
that all the technical personnel that
co-operates to produce Jhe finished
ship should also belong to enc corps;
that is the line.
I'm the new line all officers will be
line officers TO begin with and will
then take up some speciality on shore
in exactly the same manner that the
ordnance, engineering, ale ctrical or
torpedo specialties are now taken up.
1t is not at all the intent that each
officer shall take up all specialties,
but that each officer shall take up
at least one specially. The gain viii
be in fiexibility. The wonderful degree
of Improvement which has been at
tanned by our battleships should be
extended to every part of the service
both afloat and ashore"
