County Teasurer Wells is not overly
rushed with the collection OF taxes Just
now. and the indications are that ne

before Christmas, as everybody is walt
ing hoping they will be able TO get bet
ter prices for their cotton. those who
have no cotton are waiting because the
low price of cotton is popular excuse.

The farmers everywhere are eNper-
iencipg dearth of laborers, cotton IS
rotting in the fields, wood for the win
ter promises to be scarce, house SER
wants are hard to ges, and wherever
there IS need for manual eSertlon help
is hard. TO secure, the little that Is OBJ
tanned is of an inferior kind, notwith-
standing these conditions there are
manv able bodied men and women IN
idleness. How can this condition be
remedied: We read in the newspapers
of the conditions being similar ever
where, there must be q cause Tor IT..
II so, what is the remedy:
There is no better way to increase
sales than to appear in the prints OF
the county newspaper. this is the opin-
ion OF active merchants, and results
have fully demonstrated the benefits.
The G. N. Davis & Son store at Davis
Station is one of the largest in the
county, and they carry tremendous
stock of general merchandise, the man
agement has decided 70 extend the
special sale to run all through the
month of November; their stock OF
goods will be sold to conform to the
present prices Of cotton, besides they
are offering valuable prizes as an extra
inducemenJ to attract buyers.
The town board of tax assessors have
been together in solemn conclave, and
what they did to some OF the property
owners was g. plenty. We hope they
have not Disseminated. Their work
will be looked we'll into on Friday by
the board of equalization, and while
this board is hearing the protests OF
those who have been raised, the prop
erty of those left untouched Will be
compared with that raised. The pur-
pose of the act authorizing the cown to
appoint board of assessors, was to put
the property OF this town on the
books in proportion to its value, but 10
prevent Discrimination. We hope this
has been done.
The indications are that November
l4th, will be a great day in Manning
as the projectors OF the monument
are receiving encourageins
promises of large attendance. From
every section OF the county the people
are awake to the importance of having
all sections well represented at the
court house On Monument Day. the
ladies especially are interesting them
selves, and when this is the case sue
cess is assured. Senator E. D. Smith
and Colonel James Armstrong, and
perhaps others will be here Ito en-
tertain the crowd. Senator Tillman
will come if his health permits, he is
anxious to be present to lend his voice
to the laudable object and to inspire
the people with those patriotic sentl-
uents which should prompt them TO
build monument to the memory OF
the confederate dead
