A BURNING SHA Me.

In 1906, when the city of Hay
ii was about half as large as it is
now, it's assessed valuation was
something over S2OO,O00.0O, suf-
ticient for us to vote a bonded in
debtedness, at 80 cents on the
$4,000 valuation, to build a
S10,000.00 city hall.
The assessment for 1912, after
the board of equalization got
through with it, lacked about
S25O.OO being sufficient to pay
the city hall Indebtedness.
In this good year of our Lord,
1913, we find our assessed valua-
tion of S203, 10000, cut down by
the board of equalization to
$3.50, 10000, still placing it below
the 1906 mark, and yet this is
Hayti's greatest period of pros
perity. At 30 cents on the 500
this will enable us to collect
but S947. 10, or $500 less than
the city hall Indebtedness.
The valuation was assessed as
follows:

think it is no harm to take IL
newspaper from the postoffice
after their term of subscription
has expired, when they do not
expect to pay for it. That is en-
tirely wrong. The only reason "a
newspaper is mailed to you after
your subscription has expired is
because the publisher thinks you
want the paper to continue, and
he desires to give you time to
pay. If he knew you did not
want it he would be fool TO mail
it to you, because each paper he
sends out costs him a certain
cash outlay and labor. The very
fact that you take the paper from

These are the facts as shown
by the tax books.
That the people may know
some of the reductions made
by the board of equaliz alton we
will publish a few, but under
stand us, we do not know why
these reductions were made, and
attach no blame to the property
owners. Here are few of the
greatest reductions:
Elmer Murphy, lot on square,
assessed at $500; reduced to 500.
a. J. Doris, property in Kohn
addition, assessed at $1,000; re.
duced to $50.
II. A. McNail, in Kohn addi-
ton, assessed $500; reduced to
$40.
Mrs. B. F.. Allen, in Kohn adj
dition, assessed $500; reduced
to So.
O. N. Watts, in Kohn addition,
assessed S4O0: reduced to $40.
w. H. Finch. in kohn addition,
assessed 5000; reduced to 5000
Ed Gotcher, in Kohn addition
assessed 5000; reduced to 5000.

examples to show how the asses

It's name down another notch by
saying:
mo MURDERS IN THIS
CITY THIS WEEK"
No; and there were no mur-
ders here until you came upon
the scene and joined the
gang. Hayti was peaceable
city until your gang stirred up
strife, yet the man most sought
to be put out of the way still lives
to tell the story. You are nigh
ty pious now. Perhaps you are
planning another "Tabernacle
Edition" of your sheet.
BY the way, can you tell us how
many killings occurred in this
city before you arrived here and
started street scrapping last Ju-
ly? Well, we will tell you-there
were just TWO. The first one,
Thorp, was killed in self defense
in 1897. The next one was a
boy, Albert Shanks, killed by
George Hardin, deputy police
man under City Marshal Cal
Chism, on the night of July 1,
1908, six years after the first
killing. 1t was little over ten
years since the last killing until
the recent killings, or, in other
words, Hayti, in her 10Th year of
existence. had but two killings.
Just think of it? Can any city,
anywhere, show better record?
Two killings in 10 years!
Yet when these fuedists and
disturbers got strife stirred up
we have three killings in less
than month, two, VIM. Knight
and Henry Ransburgh, killing
each other on October 6, and
Willis Young killing Brad Meatte
on November 5, making the total
number of five killings during
the entire life of the town.
And there is hardly any ques-
tion but what the last three kill
ings are directly chargable to
the intensified feeling created by
the agitators, factionists, gang
sters, boycotters and mObocrats,
who have not only sought and
planned and moboliZed 20 assault

Rev. H. P. Ditchfield tells In the
June Treasury some more stories
about parish clerks. His own little
church at Barkham was many years
ago the scene Of deplorable episode.
It was not unknown that the clerk on
occasions used to patronize the village
Inn. which was kept by parish wor.
thy. Mrs. Collyer. One Sunday after
noon, when the weather was warm.
and the sermon long, the clerk slept
and dreamed. He imagined himself
the center of an admiring company at
the village inn. Hence, when the ser
moa was ended and the ascription
said, and he was expected to utter
loud and sonorous "Amen," he startled
the congregation by shouting Fill 'em
again, Mrs. Collyer; fill EN- again"
The congregation naturally was some
