TITLES OF Cal IFORNIANS
ARE IN Tile BAL ANlCE NOW
SHERIFF BYRD CALLS
ATTENTION TO LIST
OF Delinquent Taxes Pub
Iished Herein and the
Tax Laws.

In accordance with advice received
from the state tax commissioner,
sheriH Percy BYRD in this issue pub
fishes the list Of delinquent tax
payers for the year 1911.
sehrih Byrd has issued the fol-
lowing signed statement:
Pursuant to law, nobody's taxes
are carried, the sherifB now has no
alternative but to publish the list Of
taxes unpaid. Attention Of the tax
payers IS directed to some important
facts noted below:
L. The object in publishing this
list is to give notice to the owners
of real estate and personal property
that the taxes have not been paid.
q. Delinquent taxes published to-
day may be taken up at the sherff's
office for a short time without addi-
tional cost
8. The publishing of a name on
the delinquent list does not exoner-
ate one from payment of taxes.
1t is a warning OF what is worse to
come. The county court at the
June term win appoint collectors for
collecting the remaining tax. This
WIN make an additional cost.
a. Taxes on real estate after hav-
ing rbeen approved by the county
court at the June term, will be sent
to the auditor at Charleston, where
they may be taken up by paying an
additional fee.
Is. examine the list carefully. You
may have overlooked some receipt.
1t may be charged in some name
OTTER than yours, because the trans
fer has not been made. Real estate
stands good for its own tax regard
less Of the name in which it is
charged.
C. Show this list to your neigh
bors. discuss it with them. Find
out who pays the tax when not
charged to the proper person. NO
tify them and me, and by so doing
help a good cause.
Very truly yours,
. PERCY BYRD.
Sheriff and treasurer of Harrison
county.

Before the National Republic
can Committee at Con-
test Hearings.
ARIZONA is FOR ] TAFT
Six Delegates from That State
Seated for Him after
Discussions.

CHICAGO, June Ito d4spose
OF Arizona and California cases tine
National Republican committee set
a meeting for 8 O'Clock today. with
the prospect of an all day and night
session.
The California case promised to
bring the title of the whole delega-
ton ilto question owing to the con-
fiict between the California primary
law and the cali for the national
convention.
Z The convention call provided that
the voters of each congressional dis
trict have the privilege Of choosing
two delegates to the national con-
vention. Under the California law.
although the returns showed some
Taft delegates had been selected,
the secretary of state acting under
the state law, gave all the delegates
to Roosevelt because of his large
majority in the state.
Later the secretary decioad that
the boundaries between the Fourth
and Fifth districts were not clearly
defined, thus complicatfng the case
as.itSBas presented to the committee
today.
In the louisiana case, which the
committee expected to reach late.
the regularity of the state organiza-
ton is directly at issue. There are
two sets of delegates at large from
Arizona, one for Taft and one for
Roosevelt, the latter having been se-
lected after Taft men organized the
state convention.
F'orty-f9e members of the commit
tee were, present when its delBbera-
tiqns were resamed today.
After much discussion the Arizona
Taft delegation of six delegates was
seated and the committee took up
the California case.
The Arizona delegates at large
were seated for Taft.
Taft delegates from the Fourth
California district were seated, and
the contest from the First district of
Louisiana was taken up.
Recourse to Roosevelt men elected
as presidential electors in the differ
ent states is the announced plan Of
William Finn. of Pittaburg, should
the convention nominate Taft. Finn
made this statement today in a Wig
orous attack on the national COM
mittee. His position was endorsed by
Governor Glasscock. of West vir-
ginia, who declared that all theN West
Virginia electors will vote for Roose-
welt IN the electoral college regardless
of the action of the convention.

ON FIG URES
SHO w CASH VAL JJE
OF Increases in Allowances
for Veterans Of the
Civil War.

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, June 12.-An
interesting estimate of the present
or cash value in terms Of Iife-lnsur-
ance, of the increase, of pensions
accorded to veterans of the Civil
war by the new act of Congress
erective May IL, was made public
here by actuaries of the Modern
Woodmen of America. 1t is explained
that this complication disregards
whatever benefits of the legislation
may accrue hereafter to the widows
or dependents of the pensioned
soldiers now living. Present value
means the amount of cash which,
improved at four per cent compound
interest, will yield the sum necessary
to pay the increase of pension as
often as it will fall due, according
to the American Experience" mortal
ity table.
