A The county board of equalization met at the county seat yesterday to go through the tax returns of the whole county. The township board for Old Store township and the town board for the town of Pageland made general raises in the property values, and is to be hoped that all the other township boards did the same. It is estimated that the real estate values have been raised about one fourth in Pageland and nearly that much in the township. An effort was made to equalize, the'returns as nearly as possible, which of course caused quite a raise in some instances. This position with Mr. W. T. Edgeworth. Mr. T.
