The New Way ofTax Listing.
Monroe Journal.
The Waxhaw Enterprise SAYS:
Doubtless much dissatisfaction
will arise from the new plan Of
tax lis ing. The old method Of
listing has l,een very suddenly
changed and that too without
warning Machinery Act" the
name given this bill, was not
even mentioned during the last
campaign, So it is naturally sur.
prise to the tax payers. Taxpay.
erI have heretofore valued their
own pc soual property and made
oath that the same was correct
But now the assessor will visit
you home, inspect your house.
hold and kilchin furniture, go
with YOU to your pasture, count
your hogs, coSs, sheep and 9th
er animals aud then place a val
uation ON them. 1t you have a
watch he will have to examine
it, see what kind of movements
it has AMI how ming je wells it
contains.
Possibly the people who ilann-
ed this legislation understand it,
and are ready for the change.
but the great majority OF the
people know nothing of it and
are greatly embarrassed with
such radical change without no.
tice.
Brother McNeely is,, we think,
mistaken in his view OF this sub
ject. Tue fact is that there is but
one change from what the law
has been, AMI hat is in favor OF
the Taxpayer. That change is
the simple requirement that the
!isr-taker will visit the p .op!e, in
stead of the people going to the
list taker. The law has always re
quired that property be listed at
it's true money value. No honest
man will I've put to any trouble
whatever, as the law still re-
quires him to furnish a list of hi
property as heretofore. OF course
whore a man desires to conceal
his property, he is less likely to
succeed II the assessor is at his
house.
Squire A.C. johnson, al OLD
list taker, savs that the only
change he sees is that the tax as
SCISSORS will he pat to the trouble
and expense of making the visits
than he was before.
Of course the Machinery act
was amended in this respect f,l
the purpose OF getting on the ia,
books property that heretofore
has not been on or has b zen un.
deryalued, but the honest tax
payer shonll not complain at
this since the dishonest one has
been getting an advantage that
he should not have had. Any
change of thls kind that is meant
for good should not BE- condemn
ell before it is tried just because
it il a change. People should srp
port a measure that is honestly
intended as a betterment, til
the. e has been time to see wheth
er it is a good or bad change.

Oae afternoon the boys teacher
called ut the home, and asked for

And the father sat thinking.
BY and by he heard a click at the
gate. and knew the boy, was
coming, so he went to open the
door. And the boy knew as he
looked up that he knew about
the three days. And the father
said:
"Come into the library, Phil,
And Phil went, and the door was
shut. And the father said: "Phil,
your teacher has been here this
afternoon. He tells me that you

Ia L;vlng Memory Of q .. D. c. Dug.
ger.

On sunday morning, Aprll III,
the community around Willow
dale was sh pcked when it became
known that Mrs. D. c. Dugger
had passed away during the pre-.
vious night. Truly a cloud oI
sadness and gloom has settled
oyer the homes of many in this
vicinity, Tor to many it was like
the passing away ofa sister.
"Aunt Mary" was a woman OF
sterling worth, aud purity OF
character. As q neighbor she was
kind and obliging; as q friend,
she was devoted aid true. She
was ever ready to lend q helping
hand in time of troule, and to do
anything in her power Tor those
in distress, and ever ready to
contribute to the wants ol t b e
nee'iy. Sic had, ioryears, bean a
great sufferer, and many times
we thought her near death Is door
but the good Lord saw fit to re-
store her. But for the last two or
three years her health had i'm
proved, and she was able to at
tend to her household duties,
which she so much enjoyed. Oa
the morning of the 9th, after
having finished her mornings
work, she pail a short visit to a
relative near hy, and on her re.
turn home was taken violently
i'll, and from that moment. she
suffered intensely until about 2
o'clok Sunday morning. when
her suffering reased and her gen
tie spirit winged its way back to
the G ID who gave it.
Her work on earth is done; the
toll and suffering are at an end,
and we feel assured that she now
dwells III the presence OF her Saw.
ior, who redeemed her soul from
death, and kept her through the
many years OF her Carlstian life.
She proiessed religion and joined
the Brushy Fork Baptist church
about 33 years ago. Later she
moved her membership to Cove
Greek church. and about two
months ago, when the Willow
dale church, 40 near her home,
Was constituted, she was one OF
that number, and Was the first
OF that band to pass from the
church militant to the church
triumphant.
Her home is left desolate, and
will never be the same to her ma
ny relatives and friend who oftAn
went there, seeking her advice
an friendly counsel. To hAr de-.
vote hu ,bAn | the li!ht of this
world has gone o It, tbs sun has
set to rise no more on this life.
