for the present year, but they will be
Strengthened out for another year.
1t is better to see this matter through
now than to continue paying taxes
that should fall on other counties un-
til Gabriel blows the final signal.
However, regardless of how much the
assessed valuation of property in this
county is increased, there will be no
trouble about the levy for county pur-
poses, for in the Senate I amended
the County Supply Bill and provided
for flexible levy. So, if our assess
ment valuation is materially in
creased, then the levy will be de-
creased proportionately.
The facts that have given should
show that we are not hopelessly lost
and that there is brighter day for
Union County in the matter of tax

The Situation Explained.
Continued from page one)

sistance of the patriotic citizenship
of the State, and every man owes
it to himself as well as to his State
to see that all property is returned al
a fair valuation So that it will bear
its proper proportion Of taxes
Otherwise, those who do make fair
returns, regardless of where they live
in the State, will be unjustly bearing
the tax burdens of others.
The Tax Commission has already
fixed a uniform rate on the property
of corporations. Since it is provided
by law that real estate is not re-
turned annually, as personal property
is, but only once in four years and
this being the year for such returns
it was very necessary that the COM
mission take action at this time for
a reassessment and equalization OF
real estate along fair and equitable
| lines. Otherwise we would have had
, to wait another four years at least
for reform as to real estate assess
ment. So, if County Auditors, Boards
of Assessors and Boards of Equaliza-
tion throughout the State and the Tax
Commission do their duty, we shall
| have new deal in taxation in South
| Carolina and a fairer one than ever
before. If an injustice should be done
along the line even through the Tax
Commission, there is Board Of Re-
view as a final resort for any one in
jured, and Union County is fortunate
in having one of it's fair and upright
citizens as member of this board.
The question is asked: "How will
| this new departure from the old plan
| of taxation affect Union County?" It
is no change from the old plan at all,
| but merely carrying out what the
| constitution requires something
that has not been done before. 1t
will doubtless make some changes
within the county, lowering some as
sessments and raising others. How
ever, on the average this county has
its lands assessed too high already
as compared with lands of other
counties in this State. I believe that
| am correct in saying that the aver
age lands in Union County are now
assessed at close to so per cent of
their market value. I know of some
that are taxed on a valuation of more
than they would bring on the block,
while others should be raised But on
the whole the present movement
should lower the land tax of Union
County. Why? Let us make a COM
parison. 1t would be too tedious to
go through the returns of long list
of counties, and we shall take only
the following, with the average val
uation per acre for taxation in 1917:

Avoid It's Dangerous Stage.

There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency Of the disease to continue
its course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that
the disease cannot be cured by

You will note that before the tax
commission got busy on this class Of
property Pickens County was in 1915
paying on horses at $27.19 and mules
at $28.57, while Union County paid
on these animals respectively $57 90
and $52.37. Also make other COM
parisons. Should the invigorating at
mosphere Of Pickens make our long,
cared friends less valuable than the
climate Of our own county? Only
another evidence of the injustice Of
our method of assessment in the past.
However, in 1917 you will see that
Pickens was raised on horses and
mules to $46.02 and $48.29 respective.
ly, and Union was lowered to 5000
and $521O. For at least a part Of
this change I have information that
the tax commission is responsible.
We may expect favorable action in
the matter of equalization of land as
sessments.
Do not be misled by anything you
may hear as to other counties not re-
turning property in accordance with
the order of the commission, while
Union County is. If others fail in
their duty, I have the assurance Of
the Commission that they will be
raised to a basis of equality. There
may be some discrepancies in the
matter Of fixed state and school levies

Chesterfield's lands may be less val
liable than ours, but is' there any one
who doubts that the lands of Barn
we'll are as good or better on the
average than those of Union County?
Compare Orangeburg, the great cot
ton county, with Union. What about
the high priced lands of Darlington
and Marlboro Counties, much of
which sells for more than 5000 per
acre, being assessed at a valuation
of $5.35 and $5.83 per acre? Yet
Union, with most of its land selling
at anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per
acre, pays taxes On basis of $4.54.
Is any further argument needed to
show that we have been paying more
than our share of State taxes?
If so, take the assessments on live
stock and for our information study

sessed valuations Of horses and mules

RED CROSS NOTES
Junior Auxiliary Late in Starting But Good Progress is Now Reported Surgical Dressings Workers Needed

Owing to the closing down of the schools here during the time of the nationwide drive for junior member ship, the New Britain Auxiliary is late in being organized. Chairman l.. r. Slade, of the Junior Auxiliary com hitter now reports good progress in the campaign. The work in the pub lie schools has been placed in the hands of a committee composed as folloWs: Edward l.. Weeks (chair- man.) Miss Mary A. Campbell, Miss Cornelia Magoun, George B. Mathews, Miss Mary A. Tormay. Each of the elementary schools is arranging for separate entertainment within the next month. Later, there will be one entertainment shared in by all the elementary schools The proceeds from these entertainments are to be supplem ented by voluntary contribu- tions. At the Grammar and High schools, the money will be raised both by entertainment and contribution. Next Sunday, St. Mary's parochial school will give a picturization of the life of Christ. This will be shown at Keeney's theater in the afternoon at 200 D. m., and is to help the Junior Auxiliary enrolment.
 Come to the Red Cross rooms on Court street and help make surgical dressings. This is a plea to every wo- man in New Britain to do something for the New Britain boys and others who are fighting for us. We, who stay at home, must do our part, and one of the greatest needs is surgical dressings to save the lives of the wounded men at the front. These dressings are folded pieces of gauge, all to be done by hand and carefully wrapped. The work is very simple and easily learned. The rooms are open morning, afternoon and evening, except Wednesday and Saturday even- ings and Saturday afternoons.

Disgusting Habit of Belching Quickly Overcome by This Local Lady-Quaker Herb Extract Given
 Credit for the Result.

A well known lady of this city (name given at the Economy Drug Store) was afflicted with a weak, nervous stomach. She had to be eX- tremely careful in her diet, because nearly everything she ate or drank seemed to ferment and cause gas to form. This gas would rise, causing heart palpitation, dizziness and con- stant belching. This belching created almost 3ndescribable distress and in- convenience. During conversation this lady was constantly obliged to put her hand before her mouth, belch and excuse herself. It was "ex- cuse me, excuse me-" every few min utes with her. She could not help it, the condition of her stomach simply forced action. She had resorted to bromides, phosphates, soda, etc, that these things actually made conditions worse. She became so miserable that she hardly cared to talk to a person. A few weeks ago she called on the Quaker Man at the Economy Drug Store, 365 Main street, to ascertain if Quaker Herb Extract would pos sibly help her. She obtained a treatment and last Tuesday she called and reported as follows:
New Britain herald., 1918-02-28

Quaker Herb Extract certainly helped me. It has cleared my stom- ach to such an extent that my food now digests properly, gas no longer forms and best of all I am no longer obliged to belch. This is surely a blessing. I had always been fond of boiled cabbage, but during late years I dared not to eat it on account of the terrible distress which was sure to follow. Last Sunday I ventured to eat a, large portion at dinner. Oh my! how I enjoyed it. It left no dis tress whatever. Since then I have been eating anything placed before me. I must admit that I feel like a new woman, all due to Quaker Herb Extract"
 All sufferers from stomach disor- ders, rheumatism or catarrh should call on the Quaker Man at once. He can be seen at the Economy Drug Store, 365 Main street, daily from 10 a. m., to D. III. On Saturday night until o'clock. It costs nothing to talk to him. Call in the morning if you can. You can now obtain bottles of Quaker Herb Extract for $2.5O. This is special for sake of in troduction only.

MEMS CLUBS BEHIND
 PATRIOTIC RALLY
St. Marks Organization Decided to Permit Public Hear George
 B. Chandler

There is an interesting story of public-spritednes behind the patrd- ouc mass meeting for men, at which Hon. George E Chandler is to speak at the Grammar School hall, Thurs day evening, March fl.
 MT. Chandler originally accepted an invitation of the St Marks Church Mems club to speak at it's March meeting, which was scheduled for March 14. Having secured him to speak before it, however. the St. Marks Mems club felt that MT. Chandler's message should be heard by more than it's 75 Or so members and it was planned to invite the mem bers of the other mems clubs of the local churches to attend.
 With this in view each of the local church mems clubs was asked by the St. Marks club to appoint two repre- sentatives to serve on a committee of arrangeme for this meeting. When this committee met a couple of weeks ago it was thought that the part be- ing played by the mems clubs with their church affiliations might be misunderstood by the public and so deprive many men of the opport11- nifty of listening to so influential and broad minded speaker as Mr. Chandler.
 As the object of all those on tho committee was to make the mass meeting as successful as possible, it was thought advisable to invite the local War Bureau to act as public sponsor for it. The bureau accepted and it's chairman, E. W. Christ. has consented to act as chairman of the mass meeting. The joint mems clubs committee on arran gementS has taken charge of all the other details of the meeting and is working over time to make MT. Chand1er's speech big success.
