sands of acres Of trucking lands with
in ten miles OF Norfolk which could
not be bought for two or even three
times that price-and even at tour

cheap
This is really not our concern and
we have no doubt that both OF these
newspapers have told the truth, but
we should like to know in the first
place what was the Dillon County land
assessed for taxation and what is the
value placed upon the thousands OF
acres"--literally thousands OF acres,
don't forget that!--within ten miles
OF Norfolk that cannot be bought, a
great deal of it, for less than S2UU the
acre and some Of it for not less than
$500 the acre. What is ,nis land re-
turned for taxes? Is it s. or $40 or
assessment? If land that is worth
$500 The acre is returned Tor taxes at
$50, as much OF it is in other parts
