Greenwood, S. C., April 10,1888.
A citizens meeting was held at the Male
Academy on last Wednesday eve. A large
orowd or our best people was present. The
meeting was called to order by Prof. J. R.
Blake. He requesting Dr. W. B. Mill wee to
aotaa chairman reaa the following resolutions:
Wbereas the sale of lntoxloatlng liquors is
.prohibited by the Charter of our town as well
as by the recent overwhelming vote both in
nnr t/iwn and CountV.
And whereas the moral sense of our people
thbs expressed Is outraged by an open disregard
of pabllo sentiment.
And whereas it Is the duty of all good citizens
to support the law, to uphold the moral
sense of the community, ana to protect themselves
against the demoralizing tendency of
neh lawlessness.
Therefore Resolved, That we the undersigned
citizens of Greenwood pledge ourselves
to unite In briDglng all offenders be-1
fore the oourts of Justice and securing their
conviction and punishment.
Resolved, That public notice be given of
this oar determined purpose that offenders
may be warned to desist from this evil and be
relieved from a very disagreeable duty.
These resolutions was signed by a large
number of our citizens, who are determined
that they be carried out to the letter. We are
glad to see our citizens alive on this all important
subject.
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.

Greenville News.
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.

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

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.

Mashed Potatoes.?The secret of

the moment they are done, and served
as soon as they are mashed and mixed ,

"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,

PERPETUAL EVAPORATOR
T^HESE WORKS WERE ESTABLLSAED In
1847 by Messrs. Qco. Sinclair and James Anderson
and purchased by mo in the year 1856, and
from that time till now carried on successfully by
myself. My friends and customers will bear witness
of the large and stupondousjobs executed by me. It
was at my works where the largest and almost only
job of its class ever executed in this city was done
viz.: the making of the pipes for the City Water
Works in the year 1858.
My stock of patterns for ARCHITECTURAL
WORK, COLUMNS for Store fronts, is large and
various, and in RAILINGS for Balconies, Gardens,
and Cemeteries I have the largest variety and most
modern patterns; many of these are patented and I
have purchased the right for this 8tate.
In the machine lino I can furnish my patrons with
STEAM ENGINES and BOILER8 of any size and
description. My CIRCULAR 8AW MILLS have
carried off the prize at every State Fair held In this
city, and in their construction I have taken pains to
combine simplicity with the most useful modern imnrnvomenlH-and
mnv flatter mvRelfthat HIV CIRCU
LAli SAW MILLS And favor with every sawyer who
understands his business.
The many orders I am steadily receiving for SUGAR
CANE MILLS prove that the public appreciate
the mills of my make, and so it is with my GEARING
for HORSE POWERS. GIN WHEELS. GRIST
MILLS and other MACHINERY.
I have the manufacturing rizhtspf many PATENTS
such as castings for COTTON AND HAT
PRESSES. 1IAWLEY CORN SHELLER and three
or four FEED CUTTERS and other implements.
I will be pleased to send my circulars to any applicant,
together with price list or estimate. My prices
ire moderate, and I assure tho public that they are
lower even than those of Northern manufacturers, and
that my work will compare favorably with that of any
Bther maker. Address
