Chatting with the correspondent in

day, Senators Mac Williams made the
following statement and gave his con-
sent for it to be printed:
The appropriations made by this
Legislature in all probability will ag-
gregate five millions of dollars, or very
near that amount. Our assessment
roll is three hundred and fifty-six
millions. Taxes will be paid on about
three hundred and twenty millions,
thus allowing about ten per cent for
Idelinquents. It. then, can be readily
seen that our state millage will
amount to in the neighborhood of fiji
teen mills. 1t is eight and half mills
now. And am not taking into ac-
count the two mills for compulsory
cattle dipping and other proposed adj
ditional assessments for various pur-
poses. / have endeavored to point
out this to the senate time and time
again, but apparently without avail.
If this legislature is not careful our
taxes will he doubled next year.
The resignation of Tax Collector J.
B. Horne. of Jefferson county, which
was submitted on April so. to take
effect June1, was accepted by the
governor today, it was announced.
Since the resignation was rendered
the chief executive filed charges with
the senate against Mr.. Horne. These
have not been withdrawn and probably
will not be until after the resignation
has taken effect and the office is va
rated by Mr.. Horne.
