TAX EQUALIZA'TION
Contented Itself With Making
essary Changes in Corpora
tion Assessments.
aid Courier.
oluibin, Aug. 2.--Said a mem
ber of the,state board of equalization
as lie was going down the steps of the
court house, after the adjournment of
the state board: ''Well, let's go and
raw our money for the work we have
ot done.'' Other members who were
vithin hearing distance, approved the
expression of this member.
Within the block Chairman Hill, of
the state board of equalization,- said
he did not know what the newspapers
would have to say about the matter
and the action of the board, but that
it did not meet with his approval at
all. He thought the board should
have done something more than it did,
and at least made some effort to equal
ize real estate values.
Another active member of the com
mittee, and who was particularly
zealous in getting cotton mills assess
ments up, said: ''I think this is my
last ineeting with the state board of
equalization. I can iot do any good,
as the board does not seem inclined
to do anything.''
Several days ago a wag wrote this
memoranidumin about whliat the board
would do by way of prediction:
'Soak the corporations, leave real es
tate alone, draw their pay and ad
journ. '
The fact of the matter is that the
state board has done what. it did four
years ago-nothing! When it comes
to assessing real estate it loses heart.
Whatever effort was made in the di
rection of equalizing property was
done through the influence of Comp
troller Jones and the county boards.
The curious part about the whole
thing is that most of the members
of the state board state hlonlestly and
candidly that they had undertaken to
keep their assessments on real estate
as low as possible. because t1hey be
lieved that the ot her counties were
going to do the saime thin.
Yesterday afternloon anI elfort was
made to find out from the various
counties what. they had really done in
the ial ter of assessments. The state
ments C,ontinued until Greenville
cotuty was reached alphabetically,
when Mr. Cleveland stateo that the
real estate values inl that .ounty were
not 60 per cciit.; that they did not
try to get their property up to.60 per
cent., and th'at the effort really was
to get it as low as possible. This
seemed to break up the whole plan,
bzeeause it was evident that the board
would not have independence enough
to raise the Greenville assessment, be
cause that would involve the raising
of other assessments on real estate.
This morning when the board met
Mr. Derham undertook to have all in
creases limited to 1.5 per cent. over
last years assessments.
Mr. Adair, of Laurens, moved that
all abstracts on real estate be accept
ed exactly as they had been sent in
by the county officeers.
This meant that the board was to
do absolutely niothing to equalize real
estate, and that its work was to. quit
when it got through, with the corpo
rations assessments.
Mr. Derham, of Horry, and Mr.
Price, of Colleton, insisted that their
counties were too high, and to satisfy
all parties Mr. H-endricks offered an
amendment that the increase in Horry
would not exceed 50 per cent., and the
increase in Colleton should not exceed
25 per cent. This amendment was
agreed to, and after considerable
wrangling and p)rotest the board
adopted Mr. Adair 's resolution, ac
cepting of the returns exactly as they
have been sent in by the county au
ditors and leaving the assessments as
they were fixed by the county boards,
with the exception made for Horry
and Colleton counties through the ini
fluences of Mr. Derhiam and Dr. Price.

A brakeman retired to a farm and
started to lead the simple life. Hav
ing a piece of new land to break, he
hitched up a team of mules, wrapped
the lines around his waist ini farmer
fashion and sorted to work. He had
gone but a short -distance when lhe
saw a stump ahead and immediately
began giving the railroad ''stop'' sig
nal, with both hands. The plow struck
the, stump and the brakeman went
head first over the plow. Picking
himself up, he ran angrily to the muli
es and roared. ''You flop-eared scoun..
drels, don 't you ,ever look back for a
signal?".
