lFronh Tuesdays Daily Heraldl

(Ff0m tuesday DAILY Hefald)
Taxpayers of Columbia will proba
bly, raise a small sized howl wher
they 90 to tn city hall to settle theh,
taxes for this year. For they will
find that with the same assessment
that obtained last year the rate has
been boosted more than twenty-five
per cent
The new rate now in effect is STAG
on the 500 Of taxable values az
against 81 10 the rate for last year In
other words the average home assess
sd at $4,000 Will have to pay SIS more
in city taxes this year sthan3i il had tc
pay last year au q =sH6.4
Considering the fact that property
in Columbia ia assessed for city tax
alton al near or at Its actual value
and perhaps some Of it at more thar
chat, this rate of almost one and a
half per cent is going to hit the prop
erty owners hard. Especially in view
of the fact that everything else has
declined and that a dollar is q good
deal harder to get this year than IL
was year ago.
1t Is explained that the increase OF
more than twenty five per cent in the
tax rate has been made necessary by
the tremendous decline in the value OF
+he personal property Of the city
However, it is not stated that the de
cline IN personal property was so great
that a boost of twenty-five per cent
in the rate was made necessary.

ner Brady, wife Of Dr. Braly, enc Of the
best known and most popular citizens
Of the city.
The accident occurred on South
Main street as MIR. Foster and mem
bers Of his family were coming into
the city From the best accounts OBJ
tainable ii appears that the car was
driven at a low rate OF speed when
The accident occurred and that il was
stopped within a few feet Of the place
where Mrs. Barry was struck. The
latter is said to have been crossing
the street. Che was behind a buggy
and hidden completely from the car.
In attempting to evade the buggy the
car turned and at the same time Mrs.
Braly pushed out in front Of the horse
and buggy and just as she was reveal
ed to view the car struck her.
Mrs Barly's left collar bone and one
rib were broken and it is feared that
she is internally injured She was
rushed at once to the Kings Daugh
tera hospital where every possible aid
fas rendered her IL was impossible
this morning TO state definitely just
how seriously inbred she was. The
car struck her with full force and
knocked her down and ran over her
The baby was thrown clear Of the car
aud is not thought to have sustained
very serious injuries.
Young Foster was driving the car
and with him were his father Kirk
Foster. his sister, Miss Etna Foster,
aud his brother, Clyde Foster. Just
as soon as the car struck Mrs Brady
it was stopped and every possible aid
was rendered to the injured woman by
the occupant Mr Foster and his faith

man was so overcome that he was al.
most wild with grief. It was impossi
bfg said Mr.. Foster, father Of the
yoh5g man, to find words to express
fliGh' sorrow and regret at the occur,
renee. The Fosters are well known
and highly esteemed residents Of the

Mrs. Barly and her husband are eX-
cGedmgly popular and much esteem

termined. At noon the superintendent
