Our Tax Assessing System.

1t is questionable whether it was
wise to repeal our assessing system in
this county. 1t will be remembered
that complaint was made Of taxes escap-
ing under the system which required
the Auditor to take the returns, and a
, law was enacted requiring these re-
turns to be taken BY the township
board of assessors. The first year the
law work splendid, and large amount
of property that had heretofore escap-
ed taxation was put on the books and
the tax collected, but later the town.
ship assessors grew lax, and it was
! found to be an expensive method.
therefore upon the insistent demand
OF the Auditor and equalization board
tLis law was repealed at the recent
session OF the Legislature, and the
former law restored. Yesterday the
County Board of Equalization met, and
it was discovered that the Auditor was
unable to get the people to make their
returns to him, and there is now
great deal of the property not returned
for this year. He will be forced to go
over his books and add this property,
together with the so per cent penalty,
but this is not all, many taxpayers have
under valued their property, and this
will have to be looked into also.
To give our readers some idea, We
have obtained from Calvary township
the following table of personal proper
ty.

Sardinia Home Demonstration Club.

The ladies of Sardinia, under tht
direction OF Miss Katherine Richard
son, have organized Home Demon
stration Club, and already several very
enthusiastic meetings baVe been held
The club meets twice each month, anc
the ladies find this none too often. Home
Betterment is the line of work we have
chosen for our first study, and we have
begun by having a demonstration a.
each meeting. Quite number of oul
club members have made flreiess cook
ers, and in this way cooking has be-
come less burdensome.
Our ladies are very much interested
iu the Demonstration work and the
club has grown from seven to seventeen
members. Miss Richardson has kindly
promised to have held in our town q
short course in domestic science and we
are looking forward to much pleasure
in this work.
The club hopes to accomplish great
good in the work we have started, and
we find the social side of our meetings
more pleasant. At our next regular
meeting hope to Lave demonstration
showing how to care for the sick, al
which time we are to have a trained
nurse to give some lessons.
We hold our meetings in different
homes and in this way we develop a
more cordial feeling. and as each home
is different we find more to give US
though, which only stirs up more in
tereSt.
The club members are allowed to
bring along their fancy work if they
like, and after the program is over we
exchange ideas along that line.
We are hoping in the near future to
hold community fair where we will
have on EXHIBIT all kinds OF canned
goods, fancy articles aud many other
tulugs. All OF these will be gotten up
by our ladies of the demonstration club.

Mr. W. n. Young the gentleman

Mr.. ". H. Young the gentleman
who has been at the farm of Mr.. A. G
DAVIS since January building modern
tobacco barn and erinenting with a
heating apparatus, will be at MIR. Dav-
ISIS only few days longer. But while
here he wants every man that conLen-
plates planting tobacco to visit him
and see the oil stove curing apparatus
demonstrated. Mr.. Young leaves the
early part of next week to make a trip
into Georgia and Florida, when he
hopes to return for a few days before
going to his home 10 Michigan. Every
man who visited Mr.. DaVis's farm
came away fully convinced shat he has
solved the tobacco curing problem, and
that he will revolut;onize the system
iu the United States This is import
ant in several ways, it not only makes
curing easier and less expensive, but
there is probability OF inducing the
manufacturers of the stoves to erect a
plant for the manufacture Of them in
Manuiug. An establishment OF this
nature would afford employment to a
good many people, some of whom
would be high salaried and be fine
acquisition to the town. We will GER
tainly weicome the industry to Man
ming.

and many of these dodgers are the
loudest in their complaints when the
county falls behind and cannot pay its
just claims. 1t will be recalled that
The Times was somewhat severe on
the township boards for permitting
property to escape fror the tax books,
and especially the real estate, but what
we had to say should not have been d.
rected at the Calvary board, this board
did its duty, faithfully and well, and
the record they kept will show that
while they worked under the law just
repealed.the personal property increas-
ed each year, and the tax from dogs
alone was enough to pay their expens-
es, but not so with many of the other
townships. 1t has been shown that
through the Indifference of the boards
thousands of acres of land slipped from
the books, and had to be added by ad-
ditionals, and from the reports of yes
terday's meeting We are inclined to
the opinion that the solution OF the
problem is yet to be solved.

Enforce the Law.

The aut mcb 10 truck owners, we
are in.ormeL, viii not agree to comply
with tae law requiring them TO pay
licens:. Of 500, and it is up to the
supervisor to see they are made to pay
or hava the courts to decide against
the validity of the law. We hope he
will cause the arrest OF the first viola
tor of he law he can find.
Thi. Act was passed in the interest
of the county, and not in a spirit OF
lire. l. would serve the vendors OF
bottled goo3s right if every merchant
| in Clarendon would refuse to handle
their product until they comply with
| the law: il these gentlemen who oper-
ate machines that break down our
| bridges and make travel unsafe are
not paroniZed bv the taxpayers unless
they comply with the Law. it would put
stop TO the defiance.
One of these automobile trucks load
ed weigh in the neighbor of nine tnous-
and pounds, and it must appeal 10 the
reason of every taxpayer that such
weight is 100 much for the ordinary
wooden bridge 10 stand, then when
aided TO this enormous weight there is
considered the force OF the machlne
striking q wooden structure going at 4
speed of fifteen miles or more an hour,
: it is easily seen that it is calculated to
DESTROY our bridges Who must pay
for this destruction but the taxpayers
of the county, then when non-taxyers
do the damage and defy q law enacted
for protection, it is time that our citl-
zens should insist upon a compliance
with the law.
l. would be money saved to the
county if the owoe-s OF automobile
trucks would withdraw their machines
altogether. this would be better than
the collection OF 800 license, but if
they insist upon running their locomo-
=. tives upon our public roads then they
should be illing to at least help pay
the cost of repairing the damage they
do.

 When Man Protests
 Against Her Singing

From the St. Louis Globe Democrcat.
 New York.--A voice in the night, so- prano; a bang on the wall muscular; the the whistle of a rifle bullet and a wound In the great toe, right, were clements of interest in the case of Mime. Aida de Ma rion, an actress. who was held In $500 bail for special sessions in the West Farms court. Mme. de Marion, was born in Spain, educated in Germany and an noyed in the Bronx, was charged with violation of the Sullivan law on the complaint of Isador Robbins of 500 East 10th street.
 According to the testimony of MT. Rob bins, he was asleep at his home when q wild cry brought him out of his pillow It was Mime. de Marion, and the fact that a piano accompanied her indicated that she was singing. MT. Robbins as serted that he wrung his hands for a time, and then anxious for sleep or any relief, banged upon the wall which sepa- rates their apartments at the address given. The song stopped.
 MT. Robbins said that as he jumped back into bed a pane of glass was shat tered, and his wife, who had taken no part in the whole matter. jumped out of bed and began limping about the room. She had been shot in the toe.
 MT. Robbins opened window and set up such cry that even Policeman Press. of the Fremont station, heard him. Then Mime. de Marion was arrested.
