The good yeas 1910, is now
enrolled in history. To many it
brought prosperity and happi-
ness, but the picture was net en-
tirely without its shadows.
Many good people suffered dis
appointment and pecuniary loss.
and in mauy erstwhlle happy
households there came sorrow
and bereavement. Here at home.
Death claimed some Of our best
citizens, while throughout the
country the last summons was
answered by great host, some
in the supposed higher spheres
of life and many IL the humber
walks. for disaster came to
many as they folio we'd their dai-
~ vocations on the railroads, IN
the mines down in the bowels Of
the earth, and on the ships that
brayed the tempests on the seas
But on the whole prosperity az

the fields yielded bountiful
harvests, the factories We're
kept busy in Supplying the de-
mands OF trade, and the rail

commerce and travel that clam
mored for service. Manning
and Clarendon county had their
part in the making Of this his
tory, and they are on a higher
plane today than ever before.
The natural resources OF this
county are being recognized and

/ tax on only ninety five thousand.
for the reason that one OF the
head officials Of this corporation
is on the board of assessors, and
! no doubt the whole State has all
sizes of this kind of graft IN ali
its counties.
Are the tax laws Of the State
made for the plain, honest people
to go by and the inscriptions
cunning to evade?: Why is it that
the county auditors do not go
down into this thing and place all
the property on the tax books as
the law requires them TO de-:
There are few among them that
has the sand to go into the lair
Of the lions, that guard the voters,
that drive the nails down in the
shingles that cover their heads!
Do these foundering officers of
the law think more ABOUT their
salaries than they do about the
good of the people or the oath
they take? Why don't the boards
Of equalization do their duty and
place all taxable property upon
the books upon an equal basis:
Is it fact that many Of them
are tarred with the same stick
along with the common tax dodg-
ers and the rest Of them keep
mum for fear of being called d
common knocker::" So far as
placing all property on the tax
books upon equal basis at It's
market value is concerned. the
county auditors Office is farce.
and the board Of equalization is
a huge joke.

AN INTOLERABLE OCTRAG GE.
Many Of US know Of cases
where some unfortunate who
owns nothing taxable save his
head and heels (polI and road)
has been chased for miles over
the country and finally run down
and in for from IS. to So. cost
ard the employer is compelled
to put up the cash for his un-
fortunate laborer or tenant or
his men goes to the chainsang,
while another well-to-do tax
dodger is just as lawfully due

SlO0. is allowed to false-swear
and go free.
Another case is the home

home and borrowS the balance
and after years of toiling under
the burden of high interes, taxs
and family expenses IS closed

lenders claim which is lawful,
but the holder Of these iron-clad
securities had not paid q dollar
taxes on these notes and mort
cages during the whole time
home bu!lder'a was struggling

Ask this moncylcnder why
he does not pay the taxes on his

LACE M0N0GRAMs LATEST
Worked Into Fabric for Marking Hand
kerchlefs, Lingerie and Fine
Portions OF Lines.

Point lace monograms worked into
the fabric are the very latest thing in
markings for expensive handkerchiefs.
lingerie and the finer portions Of the
dover chest linen. Like most very
dainty kinds of expert needlework. the!
price charged by professionals II
rather laege, and the bill rendered for,
decorating a number Of articles would
certainly appall even m heiress Of
many millions. But the making of
lace monograms is SO fascinating that,
the girl who takes 1t up will b. sure
to adopt It rs a permanent marking
for her lawn, batiste and Irish linen
belongings.
Unless the embroiderer Is exceed
ingly expert and possessed Of original
ideas she would best have a profess
sional needle artist design several
monogram arrangements of her ini-
tials and then make a choice from
them. This will give an individualism
to her marking, and she may use the
pattern In a variety of sizes, from the
one of half-inch dimensions suitable
for handkerchiefs to the very large
monograms which forms the chief dec
orations of the new dining and lunch
cloths, which are made of exceeding
ly fine heavy linen instead of damask.
Not every girl cares for a mono
gram, because such a marking seems
just a bit complex or involves more
work than one has time or inclination
to accomplish. The point lace stitch
is quite as effective in single letters,
provided the designer can lend them
sufficient individuality. In the case Of
quite large pieces Of linen, like the
bureau covers and the finest towels,
an initial may be enclosed in a round
or square point lace frame.
The point lace stitch Is a bit difficult.
to learn. but once the art is mastered
the work goes very rapidly. Although
the effect of such a marking Is de-
lightfully transparent and appears to
be as fragile as filigree, 1t withstands
a great number of launderings and In
case of a break may readily be re-
paired. 1t is important, however. to
repair the damage in time SO that the
single stitch which saves nine, or a
few more, may be taken, and for that
reason a girl should make 1t a rule TO
look over any freshly laundered lin.
