Mr.. Brabham on Taxes.

Editor Bamberg Herald:-1f you
had been as fair in all of your edi-
torials to me as in the last, much
less would have been written. You
yourself must know, and 80 admit
that taxation is out of whack some
where and somehow.
But when you say that land Is
being assessed at one-tenth of its
value, then l must take issue with
you. Perhaps there are few small
places that would command $4,000
per acre, but even then that Is be-
yond its real value.
In the last II years I have sold
1900 acres Of land-800 acres In
Bamberg and 700 acres in Colleton.
One hundred and fifty-one acres have
been reserved and when you can ind
a purchaser that will give me ten
times it's assessed value, it too, will
20. In the sale of this 1900 acres
very little, sold at private sales,
much beyond it's assessed value, and
much of this land sold is still under
bond and mortgage, and may never
be paid for.
Fourteen cents cotton has placed
superficial value on nearly all
Southern values, and when cotton
falls, and just as sure as the sun
rises, it will fall sooner or later, and
the buyer of high priced land will
be like man whom know invested
in an automobile. His machine soon
failed to work, and of it said: only
two classes buy automobiles; mill
lionaires and darn fools. l belong to
the latter!" The man buying the
average land of Bamberg at ten times
it's assessed value will surely stand
in the latter class.
Of the problem of taxation, much
thought is necessary. Public money
is being sown broadcast as chaff.
Never in the history of this country
were taxes higher, and none of the
States debts are being paid. A halt
must be. had. New methods must be
adopted and less money must be spent
on public affairs, or the people will
rise up in the might as in '76.

Market in Better Shape.

New York, Feb. 26.-The cotton
goods market has been easier In
the gray goods division during the
past week. Trading continues in a
conservative way, retailers buying
steadily but in moderate quantities
for early and prompt shipment. Re-
tailers' operations in print, ging-
hams, wash goods, dress goods and
domestic departments have been
larger than in ready-to-wear or in
notions, laces or hosiery. It is in
ferred from this fact that retailers
stocks of staple merchandise are in
very snug shape and any increase in
buying at the counters will be quick
ly reflected in the primary markets.
Values on branded cottons have
held fairly steady. Fall River sold
about 10000 pieces of print cloths,
of which half were for spot delivery.
There has been better demand for
made-up sheets and pillow cases and
other staple domestics in the jobbing
houses, but the demand is not broad
enough to force jobbers into the pri-
mary markets, hence the mills are
gradually increasing the volume OF
curtailment.
The yarn markets are easier and
prices have become very irregular.

County Wants to be Abolished.

It's an unusual thing for a county
to want to go out of business, but
Georgia has one. Heard county will
likely petition the next session of the
legislature to be abolished. The
movement is a elimination of a
growing sentiment of several years
standing against what is claimed to
be an excessive tax rate. Citizens of
Heard county, will through the rep
resentatives, ask that the county be
abolished and its three parts restored
to Coweta, Carroll and Troup coun-
ties, from which it was originally
drawn in about 1882.
Heard county is one OF the few
counties in the State which has no
railroad running within it's borders,
the nearest connection being at Ho-
gansville, in Troup county, which is
about three miles from the line be-
tween the two counties and a dis
tance of 16 miles from Franklin, the
site of Heard county. There are on
ly two corporations doing business
in the county which are subject to
taxation, and as result the revenue
from such is excessively low.
The county is profusely cut by
waterways, the Chattahoochee river
running almost diagonally through
the center and a heavy expense is
brought upon the authorities in keep
ing the bridges over these in repair.
In order to meet these expenses the
tax rate has been placed at $50 per
thousand, which is considerably in
excess of the rate of Coweta, Car
roll and Troup counties, where it
ranges from about $3.50 to SIS
per thousand.
A growing spirit of rebellion has
been manifested by citizens of the
county for the past two or three
years, but it was not until last No
vember that the feeling began to
take any formidable shape, when a
mass meeting of all the citizens was
called to meet at Franklin on the first
Tuesday of the following month.
This meeting while attended by a
great many was not as successful as
was desired, so the matter is being
allowed to hang over until the first
week in March, when another meet
ing will be held during the regular
term of the superior court, and lar
ger attendance is expected.

'HORRY CITIZENS INDIGNANT
Blease Gets Large Share of Their
Censure.

Conway, Feb. 28.-Court was call
ed this morning it being escertained
that no Judge had yet arrived was
adjourned sine die.
All jurors, witnesses and the so
licitor and stenographer we're or
hand yesterday but consented to re-
main over until to-day in the hope
that presiding judge might reach
here during the night.
Indignant Crowd.
It was a large crowd of indignant
people that met here yesterday, many
of them having left work Of import
ance at home, when it was learned
that no court would be held and that
they would probably be called back
at time when they could i'll afford
to leave their farm work.
Governor Blease came in for {
great share of censure and this af.
ternoon there was talk of an indigna.
tion meeting being held. This, how
ever, was quieted down.
It is estimated that the failure tc
hold court at this time has cost the
county $500 to say nothing Of the
expense incurred by a number of cit
izens who appeared as prosecutors
and as defendants witnesses.
Costly Delay.
The clerk of court, W. L. Bryan
to-day issued pay warrants to jurors
and bailiffs aggregating 1925. The
many States witnesses present were
not paid. The Jail here is crowded
and has been for several months
bond having been refused number
of persons held in two murder cases
Twenty principals and witnesses are
in Jail and a number out on bond
The urgent necessity of court here il
apparent to every one.
The solicitor, Mr.. Wells, yesterda!
before reaching Conway wired thu
clerk to hold the jury and afte
reaching here made every effort tt
secure a judge but to no avail.
