Some time ago I caw a piece in your pap?
I mujnatIngind idTOCttlni electric llght? fc
I Abbfvllle. We oannot. allow Rucb a suegei
tion to be still-born. Abbeville is movlne 01
vr??rd and forward. While sitting in the Ne'
Hotel a few evenlnsrs since, I beard sora
drummers say ibat Abbeville, in a basinet
point of view. Is abend of most towns in th
State. Their statement i? sustained by th
facts. Evidences of thrift and enterprise ar
evident on every band. N?w houses ar
going up, new people are movinc in, and nei
si ores are being opened. Then the Georgii
Carolina and Northern Railroad shops hHV
practically added to onr town and populntlo
a suburban vlllsge of some four or five hor
dred inhabitants. I am told that one day lat
week some ten thousand dollars were pal
out to the railroad employees as monthl;
wages. The monthly payments hereafter wi
be even larger. This money will be circulate
among oar people and add greatly to our f
nacciai prosperity. ?? c un?c umuuu
and handsome churches which would d
credit to any city. They are a standing raor
umentof the generous heart of our peopli
and then we have one of the most eleean
and best equlped school buildings in the Stat
and best or all it is managed by an able rorp
of teachers who are backed np In their effort
by a strong and Influential board of Trustee
r Educatlooily our people are united and th
large number of boys and girls with books 1
band on their way to school a person can se
every day npon the streets speak well for th
educational spirit of our citizenship. An
next and now we must have the electri
lights if we wish to keep pace with the pre
gresslve towns or onr State. Rock Hill ha
had them for several years and so has Andei
son. All of us admire the pluck and energ
of Greenwood. If we wish to be admire
ourselves we too must manifest a spirit c
enterprise. I saw that a bill was introduce
in the Legislature the other day making Cbei
ter a city m name as it is In fact.
l\ext tan 1 uuue IU KU w niluncii UNI *uwv
duced with reference to Abbeville, but w
must have oar City liahted by electricity flrsi
What say oar people? .Agitate the questlo
and keep pegging away like yon do on re
oatR and soon electric lights for Abbevlll
will be an accomplished fact.

. cular printed beiow to the Auditors of the
' State:
Pear Sir?Returns for taxation from the 1st ?
of January, 1894, to the 20th of February,
must embrace both renl and personal pron
erty. Auditors cannot be too careful In taking
these returns. Returns of every species rl
of taxable property should be secured, and J
in every case where the Auditor or his assist- w
ant has reason to suspect or believe that there
is any desire or purpose on the part of tax- U
r payer or his agent to evade a full return of all th
* property, he should by proper questions and
e investigation bring out all the facts and secure
a full, complete and Just, return of all
taxable property as required by law to be
made.
it Great care should be exercised In the selectlon
and appointment of the townRhlp boards
of assessors. None but clear, fair, Impartial
>- mtn of good sound business Judgment and in)r
formation should be appointed members of J
these boards. If these boards will exercise ~
discretion, and take pains in getting at and iJI
d placing on returns every species of taxable
properly, ana jusio equalise,
dividual lax-payers In their respective towD- ?
ships or tax districts:; and tne county boards
of equalIzatlon, composed of the chairmen of
the township boards, will exercise the same
discretion, care and judgment as between 1
townsnlps, and in all cases of appeal, the I
crying evil of gross inequalities of assessjr
ments will disappear and no longer be heard.
I Gross inequalities of assessments do now C.
exist, and the remedy Is largely in the hands
of Auditors in the discharge of their duties, and
In these boards appointed by the Auditor
ors to value and equalize assessments. /
ir There is no law for assessing and equallz- >
i. ing taxable property upon a basis of (16 2-3 w
i. per cent, or any other basis than its "true
K value in money." Our laws require all taxa- T
e ble property, real, personal and Dosses-<ory, 1
iP to be placed upon the tax books at the "true j*
e value in money." Lands worth 81. 85, 810, 111
e 820, or mere, should be assessed at that value,
e no more and no less. Bank slock worih 820
e above the pur value of 8100 should be assessed
p at 8120 per share, and others in proportion.
Si Bank stock worth less than par value should
e be assessed at Its value, and no more. Cor- _
n poratlons. other than banks, stock of which
Is non-taxable, must have a taxable Interest 4
;t equal to the real or market value of Its stock I
<3 and this market value of stock will furnish a J
y fair basis for assessment of the taxable inter
jl est or such corporations as it may have in
d machinery, material, etc.
|. The productive powers of taxable property,
i] real, personal or possessory, Is an important ri
o factor lu fixing the "true money values" for j
). taxation. Lands producing one bale of cot- Bi
ton or twenty-flve bushels of corn or oats per
it acre are worth more than those producing
e one half or the>e amounts. So with oilier
>s classes of taxable property. Values are iuflu;S
enced by Income derived from such property,
j. The greater percentile of the burden oftaxa- >n
e lion rests now too heavily upon the less proD
ductive properties of the State aud should be ?'
P remedied.
p Fersonal friendships, neighborly intercourse
d and primary elections should not Influence
c Auditors nor boards In these matters of as>.
sessments, but they should be actuated by the
p broad principles of absolute Justice to all tnx..
payers and the full, true value in muuey
v placed upon each and every taxable interest,
a class and character of property In the Slate.
if the boards of assessors do their work In a o
d haphazard way, and tbe boards of equaliza- >
5. tlon do not correct these gross inequalities. Kwe
shall Insist upon Auditors proceeding In
each case, as Is required by Section 289. etc..
e General Statutes, as construed by tbe Letclst.
lature in 1892, after the construction by the
a courts of this and other germane sections,
d Your especial attention 1b called to the fact
e that millions of dollars In credits, such as ?
bonds, mortgages, notes, accounts, cash,, etc.,
now escape partially or wholly from their r
Just share of taxation. Let us have every I
dollar of taxable property In the State at Its *
true value in money upon the tax oooks and c&
the levy as now made can be reduced by a|
something like one-half. ?
