In th-* payment of this tax it is intendc 1 to ?.) assess it that none ned be over hardened and yet n<jie bo allowed toescipe without payii:;: an eqnal portion, aeuordin? to the tnie ?alaecf the property o*ne 1 ! y ?-;j?*h one. Bat here is the great trouble. While one fx-rm.n returns property at one ; hundred per cent of i tx value, his neigh j hor perhaps returns at only seventy-five ' per cent, and ".n many iu stances at not more than fifty per cent, ai.d some e*en l*fS-?. Now this inequality in many instances! nn doubt is caupted fry an honest differ- j ence in the judgment of men; now thin j dilference of judgment is no reason why A. hIiouIi! pay twice as much tax as B j w lien if t hoi r property were offered for | Hale to the highest bidder, it would ! bring equakaino-mts. It mak?-s noiKf- ! fer<nce whether property he returned at 50, 100 or 200 p.-r eent of its value, so ; ihst it all he leturncr. at the same rate. ; \^'e have what is known as -equalizing hward#, 1 ut owing to the fa<-t that they | are required to equalize the value of | property in many instances that jhey j Jhrpre never scon and ki ow nothing of, i ? heir work is necessarily to great ex- j tent a failure. This failure is due to the i fact thnt ths territory wh'ch the board | has under supervision is too large. THE KEMfOV SUGGESTED. Divide each county into small rchool districts, and select from each district three suitable men t-.? assess the proper j tf in their respective districts. Let there be in each county a county board com ipo'sed of one m< nd>er fnrn each school [district. Then l ist let there be a State ^ hoard composed of one or more members from each county. j Let^ the State board meet an ! decide j i on a uniform rate of assessment. Fori instance? divide land into a u.iniher of different grades, according to pr?.duc-j tivenefis, location ?&c., and determine l what each grade sha'l be assessed at. Then have a number of grades for dif ferent kin'ls of stack and peperat* in, some ut ay as near as po*sibl> according - to value, an1 then determine what each grade shall be* pssessed at- And so in reference to other kinds of property^ Then let the proceedings of the State board he published. After the members have returmd tv their respeetire coun ties, let the comity board be cail >.r to gether. and let the -members who at tended the State boar I explai i ;:s near as possible the g ad!:iz *>f d'.'Te.* nt ki :ds of property. After this let the school j Disii^ct^boar me t. and after having | the pbtn of the State beard in reference to grades and valuation of property ful'y explained by the member who attended the county board, proceed to assess the property in their respective disi -ien.

Yet we find ; the horses ia Abbeville rctnnied at an avarare of while tho^e of Laarens . are only returned at an average of $4^, Who will explained ? It will be seen that there is also a dif- \ feranee of $20 per head ia the adjoining counties of Somter and Richland Bat when we come nearer home we find that two of Kershaw's adjoining counties, Fairfield and Samter, return their horsfs *t an average of $6 raofo per head than we do ; while our other four neighbors, r Darlington, Richland, Lancaster and Che>terfiel- all average below Kershaw. Bur as great as the difference of the aver age returns of horses is in different coun ti.s, when we come to dogs, we find the difference still greater- The average re ? ims for do^s in the .State is a little over ? ?>. Hampton ceunty returns at an average of about 81-5 per head, while Greenville, Pickens an 1 Anderson re turn at oah a fraction above an average j i of SI per head. Surely the dog popula- j i tion of thesf counties must tx? composed of -'curs of low degree" indeed. The average returns of pleasure oar jriasresin the different ^counties varies i from less thani in some counties to | more than $40 in other*. The average returns of mules in th* S-ate is about S*0, whih? Georgetown re- , turns at $*2 and Spartanburg at only $4t>per bend. These- two eases represent I lie extreme*.
