nearly equal to those in this county.
And then, as Mr.. Garfield points out,
ut Is apparent that real estate, owned
largely by well-to-do and wealthy peo-
pie, does not bear u proportionate part
Of the tax burden, whereas perS Onal
property, owned largely by the poorer
people, bears larger percentage of
the tax.
This table submitted by Auditor
Garfield should have a great deal of
weight with the assessment boards of
the different counties and with the
state board.
Gen. b. II. league, of Aiken, has
come in for considerable criticism be-
cause of the manner of distributing
the fund of $1,000 provided by the
state for the transportation of the
Gettysburg survivors to the scene of
the battle. General league has re-
piled to his critics by pointing out
that the disposition of the fund was
left entirely to his judgment and that
he had disposed of it as he thought
best, that when at first it appeared
that but few would make application
for the fund he distributed the
money as it was called for in amounts
large enough to pay full railroad fare
to each applicant. being just as ig-
norant of the total number who would
apply as was the Legislature.
We do not see how else Gen. league
could have acted. The state had pro
vided inadeQuately for the occasion
and it was left to him to make the
best Of it, If, as it at first appeared,
only a few of the soldiers had made
application for the fund, all would
have been well and good but when, at
late day the applications began to
flow in, there was nothing else to do
but to carry out the policy first set
tied upon, that is, supply full rail-
road fare as the applications came in
and let the blame for the lack Of funds
go where 1t should, to the legislature.
If Gen. league had waited until the
last moment to dole out the little fund
which he had in small bits, it is more
than probable that but mighty few
of the old soldiers would have gotten
to Gettysburg and the rest of them
would have been forced to stay at
home because they did not have suff-
cient funds to fill out their apporton-
ment to buy ticket According to
Gen leagues plan, siXty-two, at least,
were guaranteed transportation, but if
the plans suggested since the dspo-
sition OF the fund had been carried
out there is no guarantee that any of
them would have gotten there 1t was
the intention that some, if not all, the
survivors of the battle were to go to
Gettysburg and Gen. leagues dispo-
sition OF the fund guaranteed that
much.

That New County Project.

1t is gratifying to know that the
citizens of the proposed new county
are beginning to get interested. They
should carefully consider the project
and discuss it in a business way. The
first thing to be considered is the
the county seat with the Court house
and all the county offices would no
doubt be a benefit to some persons.
The citizens living nearer the coort
house of Laurens and Spartanburg
than Woodruff would suffer in con-
venience. A map of the proposed
county has not been received, but the
portion to be cut from Spartanburg
county is on hand The commission
ers are entitled to a chrome for that
line. 1t does not run in compliance
with the commission received. That
line will tend to weaken the vote in
it's favor Of the new county. There
is another consideration. More than
half the territory will come from
Spartanburg and about three-fourths
of the voters will be from this county.
Where there Is natural division like
river between two sections of the
county, the larger section in which
the county seat is fixed will domi-
nate the smaller and give it little
chance. They will have the privilege
of paying taxes, serving on the jury
and electing their school trustees.
That is about all they will get accord
ing to the way 1t works in new coun-
ties generally. AS soon as it can be
secured map of the new county will
be published and all other facts which
is our desire to lay them before the
people so that they may consider the
question fairly and vote intelligently.
There is going to be considerable talk
in the new county territory before
the election. First, get all the facts
as to lines, shape Of county and the
motives which brought about that
change in the proposed line. Let
everything come out. Publicity will
do no harm. The matter is not ex-
citing much interest in the old part
of this county. No information has
been received from the Laurens side,
but it may he inferred that many vot-
ers will object to coming across the
Enoree to get to their court house.
They will prefer to go to Laurens.
IL the plan carries, it will cut off at
/ least one"fourth of the area OF this
county, but perhaps there would be
/ less than one-tenth OF the taxable
property to go with it. Let the
question be wisely and calmly con-
sidered. Let there be no strife. If

Rev. E. v. Babb's Work,

The First Baptist church of Easley,
Rev. e. V. Babb pastor, Is making
fine progress. Recently it demonstrate
ed the truth of a spiritual law that
has much to do with the whole sub
ject of church prosperity. After the
present beautiful house of Worship
was built there was debt. A spirit
of economy took possession of the
church and it was thought that while
this debt was being paid the church
had best go to two Sundays. This was
done. But there We're those who felt
that full time preaching was, after
all the best way to get the debt paid !;
that the debt was dependent on the
churchs prosperity and the church's
prosperity was dependent bn full
time preach. With the beginning of
this year the church came back to full
time preaching, not, it is. true, be-
cause it had found that that was the
way to pay debt, but because of
the great popularity Of Pastor Babb.
But the other thing has happened.
Pastor Babb thought it was good
time to go after the debt and himself
made search for $4,000; and in a
short time found about $4,000 The
next move will be for Sunday school
addftion.-The Baptist Courier.
