There is a great deal of complaint in this part of the County among the tax payers. A good many after having paid their taxes at | the proper time have been subjected to the humiliation of being arrested and brought five or six miles to appear before a trial Justtcetoshow their tax receipt. It Is a time of the year that people haven't time to lose from their farmB, and ft does seem that It would be hotter that the officials of the County keep the tax books in better shape. Capt. W. C.

Tlio recent decision of Attorney Gener.il Earle that the surplus of banks is subject to taxation and must be returned together with the capital stock at its full value, lias created no less Interest here than at every other point in the State where there are banks. The question is not a new one here, having been brought up before the township board of equalization two years ago. when the returns ot the Greenville Natloual Bank were being overlooked. The board then decided that the bank was returning fully as;much in proportion as the average private returns aud the assessment was raised. The same question was revived at the last session of the board a month ago, and a similar decision was reached. In view Jof these decisions of the board reached alter careful study and investigation of the matter, it may be supposed that the failure of the banks to return their surplus for taxation is not without some good reason. A reporter for the Daily Nexus asked President Hamlin Seattle, of the National Bauk, about the matter. Mr. Beattle said that the popular inference from the Attorney GenomPk decision had Dlaced the banks, he thought, in an unfair fight. They were being held up for censure for not returning the whole valueof their poperty and pictured ao indirectly robbing the people by escaping taxation, when the truth was that nobody returned property at anything like its fall value. "It is a well known fact," Mr. Beattie said, "the average of the returns of property in this State is 50 or 55 per cent, of its value and hardly ever is any property returned at more than two-thirds its value." "It Is not a question of the absolute but of the relative values that are returned and If everybody's assessment should be raised the tax rate would be reduced and no hardship would fail on any one. If other property should be assessed for its full value the banks could not nor would they object to returning their surplus for taxation. But so long as other property Is assessed at50or55 percent.of its value, itis unjust to require banks to give in their's at Its full value." All that the banks wanted, Mr, Beattie repeated, equalization. If all property holders paid tar on the full value or their holdings, the baulrs would willingly do the same. But that was not the case, and it would be manifestly unfair to discriminate against banks by taxing every dollar of their capital stock and surplus. Tiff Knntdo euM ho rinnhf#?rl If tho whole I property of a bank, Including capital surplus and accounts, if put up at auction, would sell for face value, on a forced sale. And yet it was proposed;, to tax; it for every cent of its face. The Greenville National Bank, Mr, Beatlesaid, has paid taxes on its whole cap1 tal stock of $100,000 ever since it has been started and there were many yeare when the stock would not have sold at par. An instance was cited of the bank at Laurens, started a year or two ago. President Barksdale returned the full stock, 863,000, for taxation, but when the board of assessors came to it, they reduced the assessment 25 per cent, on the ground that that was in fair proportion with the average assessment rate in the county. President Beattle said there were two remedies to which the banks could resort. They oould either appeal for relief to the Legislature or they could pay the Burplus out to stockholders. He did not believe the banks In the State would consent to pay the tax on their surplus, without a flght. As to the legality of the decision, President Beartie saidne thought thre was no donbt, technically speaking. The General statute required all propertyjto be returned at its full value. If a case of private property being returned below value were brought before the a itnrnoT Onnpral hn would ha eomnelled to give the same decision. A similar question had arisen in Ohio, Mr. Beattie concluded, where it appeared that thronghout the State, a;settled rule with the equalizing officers was to value real estate and ordinary personal property at one-third of their worth, while moneyed capital was fixed at three-fifths and the State board of equalization without changing the valuation thus made of real estate and ordinary personality, assessed National Banks at par: the Supreme Court held that such unequal valuation was in violation of the constitutional rights of shareholders, and on payment of the tax justly due equity could enjoin collection of the residue. This decision was made in the case of "Cummings vs. Mer chants' National bank of Toledo," 101 U. S. p. 153. Dyson's Dots. Dyson, S. C., April 9th. 1887. County Commissioner Harling was here on time last Friday and met several gentlemen who were eager to bid for the bridge to be built across Wilson's Creek at this place Messrs. J.% L. Aull, J. M. Proctor. D. S. Hattlnanger and J. N. King did the bidding. Mr. Aull made the lowest bid and received the contract. The bridge is to be 195 feet lonir, being 55 feet longer than the old one. It will extend across the lowest place In the swamp, which will enable the public to cross during high water. The bridge is to be completed by 1st June. Mr. Aull is an old bridge builder and thoroughly understands the business, ho we expect a good job. Mr. K. U. Johnson, of Ninety Six, has pur chased S400.0U worth of machinery, ine same to be used for repairing the water mill at* this place. Mr. Johnson has done a good business since be has been in possession of the mill, and when he will have finished repairing his business will rapidly increase. Capt. James N. King, of Cow-grove, was in town not long since and tells us he intends to run a stationary steam gin at this place next fall. Mr. King is full of pluck and energy and as this lsa line sectlou for cotton, no doubt he will do a paying business. On account of the recent rains the farmers are a little behind, notwithstanding some of them planted cotton last week; others will begin this week. Tho prospect for a good grain crop In this section Is quite promising. We notice In your last issue the announcement of Capt. James N. King as a candidate for the legislature. The qualified voters of Abbeville could not have made a better selection ; and if Capt. King Is elected they will be ronrftfienti>r1 hv on a trho In n. nftrfent cr&ntlA man, a faithful servant and a genuine democrat. We regret on account of being Just across the line we are deprived of costlug our vote for him. Miss Julia Holstein, of Batesburg, is visiting her sister Mrs. T. H.

Filial Honor. i Young people sometimes know so very much more than their elders?at least, according to their own estimates of their knowledge. They pride them- ' selves on advanced methods of thought , and freedom from "old fogy notions," but possibly they find, on reaching middle age, that years do bring their own peculiar teachings, which youth is not yet capable of receiving. Said an overworked mother in a moment of bitterness: "I am afraid that I don't enjoy my children as much as I did when they i were little. Then they were merely ? clinging, affectfflhate creatures; they never judged what I did, or doubted i but that I was the most remarkable woman in the world. Now they seem , so much wiser than 1 that it appears i to be natural for them to find fault with me. "Nothing I do is considered very praisworthy. In fact, I am always in ' the wrong. If I try to join in their conversation,, tney evidently tninK mother's ideas ain't worth much ; she hasn't had the latest advantages. "It's true I haven't. I've been too busy to become a cultivated woman, but it seems to me affection taken by itself ought to count for something in i the world." Yet her children did love her; they , only omitted to "honor" her daily life. The day after her death her son stood beside the coffin, looking at the worn, placid face, and said through his tears: "I could never understand why mother wasen't happier. She had every comfort in her years, but she always looked worn and discouraged." Had he been of clearer vision he need not have sought far for the reason. It is usually our own warmth or 1 .rl r\ r- ri J ~ U 4-U ^ mi'K ui luiiuciiic^ ?11 lL/ii iLiahcs tuc faces about us bright or gloomy?a truth to be remarkable before it is forever too late. Mashed Potatoes.?The secret of having nice mashed potatoes is that all the ingredients?cream, butter and potatoes?shall be hot when they are mixed together, and that the dish shall be hot when served. The potatoes must be cooked quickly and mashed the moment they are done, and served as soon as they are mashed and mixed , with the other ingredients. A disapproving smile is sometimes ' as effectual as a frown. i ?*lw<i2i6lA6 mgg "An I llnvc I^oved You," BY REV. D. D. TAPl'IX. If all men loved, ns Jesns taught, Tlielr feuds would forthwith cease; For, each would chose,?as each one ought, "The things that make for peace." But Christians rend the Master's will, And, his example know, With stringent motive to fulfil All that he bade them do. And, what more definite than This, Or, urged with higher claim, That our love should be like his, Who wear his sacred name ? Whatever men of strife may urge, What customs once were rife,? Should we not haste the church to purge Of all that mars her life ? The world will never take the lead, In ushering in his reign, Whose peaceful sway,?in very deed, Shall "wrath of man,?restrain." Then, let the church her mission prove, Put forth her latent power, To teach the world the law of love And Is not this,?her hour ? Tovsfield. Mass. When one that was in great anxiety of mind, often wavering between fear and hope, did once humbly prostrate himself in prayer, and said, O, if I knew that I should persevere! he presently heard within him an answer from God which said, If thou didst know it, what wouldest thou do? Do what thou wouldest do then, and thou shalt be safe. The humanity consists not in a aqueamish ear; it consists not in starting or shrinking at tales of misery, but in a disposition of heart to relieve it. True humanity appertains rather to the mind than to the nerves, and prompts men to use real and active endeavors to execute the actions which it suggests. Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming, (kunnnh nnpnnrn II r? f !l O tl lr fill n PSS ! foi' through prayer procureth blessings, giving praise doth keep the quiet possession of tbem. There is 110 middle path. The life of the indiviual, the life of society, must come at last to make self-indul.gence, self-seeking, self-will, its foundation?or else sacrifice.?Maurice.

It is nothing to begin ; perseverance is everything. Insurance License. Executive Department, Office of Comptroller General, ? C A nrl 11 Kt. ISKfi. I CERTIFY, that Mr. T. C.
