and land values, presumably by reason of
the fact that in it's present stage the gold
industry of Henderson county is undevelop-
ed and hence is not valued highly.
1t is an interesting fact that Henderson
county is almost an arsenal in itself, hold
ing enough fire arms to go along way in
quelling Mexican revolutions If properly
handled. These fire arms are valued at
$5,491, almost as much as all the libraries
and scientific instruments Of the county, the
value of these being only $3.50, Of which
$40 belong to the colored race.
Coming down to the animal or stock life
of the county the horses, mules, jacks and
jennets are numbered at 2,776, valued at
$220,143. The numbe rof goats, cattle,
hogs, sheep and dogs is fixed at $15,447. A
large part of these animals are dogs, de-
plorably so, and the number of other ami
mails could be increased by many fold to
the enrichment of Henderson county with
all it's stock raising possibilities. The value
of these animals is given at only 1871, O38.
In the luxuries of the county as far as
pleasure vehicles are given the colored peo-
pie take no part. Autos, phaetons, pleasure
boats, etc., are listed at a value of only $10,-
083, the colored race having no part in this
list Of taxables.
Gods, wares, merchandise and similar
property is valued at $182,23O in Hender-
son county.
The tax list o fthe county will show a
healty increase from year to year by reason
of the rapid and continuous growth of Hen
Jacksonville as well as other parts of the
county and the rapidly rising prices on real
estate throughout the county and the gen.
eral increase in property values of all kinds.

Hendersonville, N. c.

The books in the Office of Tax Collector
v. G. V. Shepherd, who says that he runs a
bureau Of information where news of all
kind pertaining to the county can be had,
show tina this is the amount of the taxable
property in the county.
A glance over the tax books will give an
observer some curious facts about valua-
tions, listed property, etc. The information
is there and in the abstract form in which
it is presented to the inquiring taxpayers,
it makes readable matter in most instances.
In a county with a population of some
thing like 1900 it would seem at first
thought that there are more than 2,319 polls
Or males between the ages of twenty-One and
fifty years, but then the women are omitted
from this list. Out, of this number 819 are
listed in Hendersonville township, there be-
ing only 1872 colored in the county.
The number of acres of land in the county
is fixed at 194,543, the number of town lots
being 1851, valued at 81 ,040,445. In Hen
derson county 3,135 acres are listed by col
ored people. Lands are valued at $685.
678, of which $3O,83O worth belong to col
O1CU PCOP4O' Ii oSSAOSoGO NoAuO VI 4OoA
estate in the county is given at $3,062,713
of which amount the colored people own
$54,48O. The aggregate value of lots and
lands in Hendersonville township is listed
at 81 ,887,211.
The personal property of Hendersonville
township is given at $599,496, the aggregate
total of taxables being given at $2,445,287,
as owned by white people, there being a
much smaller amount belonging to the col
ored race.
ALI property of the county listed under
the head of personal property is given at a
value of $1,230,247 for the whites and $751;
845 for the colored. The bank stock Of the
county is no small item, it being given at
1926, 1898. The aggregate of real and person
al property and bank stock is given at S.
1883.
The value Of mineral, timber and quarry
lands not listed under the title of real es-
tate is fixed at $7,76O of which about $1,000
is in Hoopers Creek township, where the
lime mines are in operation. The vast
amount of gold treasured in the pockets and
recesses Of the mountains of this county are
not valued highly or it is listed as real estate
