Latest Ford Story

We have heard many stories abou
the Ford car, but the best we know o.
up-to-date, we got from w. A. Drink
water Of Little Willow. Last Sun
day afternoon he came to Payett4
with his family in the Ford, and or
his way home noticed the car was moi
working and stopped to make investi-
cation. On raising up the hood, he
found the carburetor gone, drove to
the first farm house where he pro-
cured corn cob, punched the peth
out and in few minutes had another
one made and fastened on with a
piece of barbed wire, and now de-
clares that his car runs better than it
ever did.-Payette Enterprise.

Main Street
Against Triunphs
Palmettos Fall into Second
Place

Tuesday afternoon Main Street
again tramplcd the Palmettos in
the dust 20 the tune Of thirteen TO
three. The Palmcttos seem to have
had a bad slump and the last two
games have been lost by a very
overw whelning score. Louis Gray
pitching for the Palmettos seems
to get more adept each day in hit
ting the bats of the Main Street
batters and it is a bad day when he
doesn't hit at least q dozen bats.
Charlie Pierce continues to catch
good ball. at least he catches those
which get by the batter and he still
continues to knock fouls over the
fence and otherwise play the game.
Slick Williams is just as goodCO
as ever at the initial sack and
caught just as many as usual. Clint
Walsh. the star right fielder for
Main Street is right on the job and
gathers III all the flys within two
and half feet. Clint also con-
tinues to strike out in all the
pinches but this is made up by his
brilliant hitting when eight or ten
scores have been made.

Home Team Wins First Game

Sumter practically won their
game at Hartsville Monday in the
first inning when they battcd At
llinson. the Hartsvillc pitcher, for
eight runs before a man got out.
Gibson was then put in and after
the first inning it was a fast, close
game with no scores on either side
until the ninth when Sumter
brought in one more. Ludwig
pitched a good game for Sumter,
allowing few safe hits. and those
that went to outfield always found
a resting place waiting them in one
of Sumter's outfielder's gloves. The
first inning was merry-go-round
and every one hit the ball. Glib
son pitched a good game but was
hit for several two baSsers. The
fielding of Sumter Yesterday was
errorless and at only one time did
Hartsvillc get man as far as
third. The last run was won by
Hawkins who landed a clean two
bagger to left field. 1t seemed to
be a surprise for Hartsville fans
the kind Of game Sumter put up on

Round Up of
Tax Dodgers
A Survey the State VIII In
crease the Revenue Five
Million Dollars

Columbia, Aug. 18.-A saving to
the state of five. million dollacs,or
more in actual revenue to the. state
Of South Carolina would result,
from survey Of the state, accord
ing to members Of the state tax
commission. in speaking today of
the needs of such a survey. w. c..
Query, of the commission, stated
that the legislature would be ask
ed next year to provide for such
q survey:
The survey would be for the
purpose Of making as-conplete R-,
yentorM Of the states tayaeae prop
eerty, getting @au 9fs.it On tE1e It
books on an equA basis: THERE
suit would be first of all that all
property in the state would be as
sessed on Nthe proper basis of valu
alton. The secondary result would
be an increase of the states reve-
nue., Mr.. Query said.
AS proof Of the value Of such a
survey, the tax commissioners re-
fer to the survey just completed Of
the city Of Columbia. a competent
engineer has made q complete sur
vey of all real estate in the city,
and the blue prints of this survey
show every piece OF property in the
city, with its present-day owner.
With this map the local board Of
assessors will assess the property
of the city, each piece Of l,ioDerty
in every Block in the city being as
sessed at its proper valuation. Mr..
Query states that the survey will
mean for the city of Columbia an
increase Of its revenue of between
100000 and $4,000. This sur
vey is to be used as the basis Of
assessment for this year, the board
Of assessors meeting at an early
date to start work on assessing the
real estate.
The survey provides also card
index system, whereby there will
be card for each piece Of prop
erty in the city, and as property
changes hands. the new owners will
be shown on the cards. The engi-
neer has gone back in the county
books for eight Years and put into
his survey maps ali property that
may have escaped taxation.
1t is estimated that a similar sur
vey to be started in Greenvine soon
will save that city approximately
S150,000, and a similar survey to
be made in Spartanburg will save
that city a like amount Of direct
tax reTcnUc.
