Question Of Taxation Discuss
in Cheraw.

CheraW, Feb. 26.-The Che
raw Ayceum had its regular
1onthlg lmeeting at the club
rooms last night. The subject
fcr deBatH was, SHOULD Prop
pety be 'Assessed for Taxation at
Its full valued" Owing to the
extremely cold weather there
was a small attendance, but The
subject was ably discussed.
William Godfrey, who is a
tnernber of both the county and
State board OF equalization,
opened the debate. He pointed
outsthe inadequate system of list
ing property in this State, by
which $4,000 acres in small
tracts here and there in the
country, or by old and unreliable
surveys, were not on the tax
books at all, anG said that the
f0p1lon OF the lOrrenS system
t1and registration would cure

that there was great inequality
IN returning property, not only
in the different counties but in
different sections of the same
county, ranging all the way from
! to 90 per cent, and in Il few
cases TO 100 per cent, of the true
value. A mule in rich Marlboro

CHAPTER XVIII.

Gloria had not been reared without
an understanding Of the various lay
ers Of society. OF those close to her
own station in life she had an intimate
and intelligent knowledge, but as she
went down the scale her acquaintance
ship grew slighter and her understand
ing more vague. The poor creatures
whom as a class Little Ella now rep
| resented to her were almost as foreign
and as misunderstood as would be a
lama of Thibet. Having no knowledge.
she could have no real pity.
Gloria had never dreamed. even
when she tried to put the worst pos
sible construction on what few things
she knew. that the world could be SO
cruel. Never for an instant had she
thought that 1t was possible for men
whom she regarded as upright and
honorable to be engaged directly or in.
directly In exploiting vice and igno-
rance. 1t had never occurred to her
that men whom she might know, some
of them owned dreary blocks of novels
and tenements from which high rents
were secured only because the people
who lived in them were not respect
able. Poor and honest tenants could
have paid but poor and precarious
rents.
AS little Ella told her story of the
System" at Gloria's request, her voice
grew shriller and shriller as the in
dictment grew graver. She talked
rapidly. sometimes turning aside from
the direct channel of her revelation,
to explore some little eddy Of q spe-
cific instance which made her account
a reality. Gloria could have credited
something to exaggeration had 1t not
been that just at the moment she
thought the girl was beginning to
draw on her Imagination some Incl
dent would be introduced suddenly to
make the whole thing CHASTITY real.
For the first time the daughter OF
David Kerr learned of the peddlers Of
showy dresses. the venders Of cheap
perfumery, the stealthy disseminators
of cocaine. and the many other leeches
that fatten on the unfortunate OF the
underworld. She learned that all the

erinarian. placing the county under
quarantine so far as shipping OF hogs
to and from the county is concerned.
Notice of the quarantine was served
upon the sheriffs of all the counties
of the state and upon the railroads.
Hundreds of hogs have died within
the last few weeks in Boulder, Long
mont and other towns. Efforts of the
ranchers to stamp out the dreaded
cholera proved futile and the quaran-
tine was the last resort to prevent
further loss to the hog-raising indus
try of the state.
, simultaneously with the quarantine
order, Dr. Yard sent out notices to the
manufacturers Of virus or vlrulent
blood, calling their attention to the
fact that only graduate veterinary sur
geons who hold state licenses are per-
mitted to administer virus In the treat
ment Of hog cholera. This notice was
made necessary, DR.. Yard explained,
because manufacturers sold to hog
raisers direct and the latter. not IA
mlliar with the use of the virus did
more damage than good by using It..
The railroads have been warned to
comply strictly with the statutes gov
erning the shipment of hogs within
the borders OF the state. The State
Board OF Stock Inspection Commission
ers will appeal to the courts. If neces'
