RAILROAD TAXES INCREASED.
Excess Over Last Year is Ovor $11,500,000?Increase
of Southern's '
Taxes is Over Six Millions.
& News and Courier.
J Columbia, September 5.?The as- '
sessments on railroads in South Carolina
were announced this afternoon,
by Comptroller General Jones, chairman
of railroad assessors. The figures
were determined on at a meet- 1
ing of the board several weeks ago, 1
but have not been made public, and
there has been much concern among
railroad men in regard io the matter. '
C omptroller General Jones to-day refused
to <taj| .a meeting of the board
lo reconsider .certain assessments un- f
less a majority of the hoard petitioned
for a meeting and the figures have <
been sent, to the auditors of the several
counties.
The assessments are increased over
. the assessments of last year by
more than eleven million, five bun- !
dred thousand dollars. Of this in- 1
crease, the Southern railway bears
over six millions, being raised from
fourteen and one-half millions to
twenty and one-half millions. The !
Atlantic Coast Lino system, inclin]-'
ing the Charleston and Western Car-''
olina, bears about five millions, be- '
ing increased from eleven and onehalf
millions to over sixteen millions.
The Seaboard Air Line bears about
one-half million, being increased from
four millions to four and one-half mil- '
lions. The independent roads, the
small lines, bear increase of over one
hundred thousand dollars.
The oxiu't figures are as follows for
the two years:
1000. 1007. I.
So. Railway. .$14,403,008 20,025,000!
A. C. L 11,002,078 10,558,818 !
S. A. L 4,000,204 4,500,000 ,
Independent 1,738,000 1,843,330
Total .. . .$32,040,310 $43,527,148
The increase in assessments is not,
of course, based on any improvements
that the railroads have made during ,
the year, for these improvements have
ot, by any means, been commensurate
with the taxation, but is due to
an effort to bring assessments up to j
the 100 per cent basis. As a result,
the railroads will pay taxes on a
higher basis than any other corporations
or individuals, since in many
eounties real estate and other propei*ty
is assessed at less than sixty per
cent. However, this is the year for
the railroads to get it in the neck.

The Change.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Nie clouds were all tumbled and ragred,
And the morning was laden with
rain;
V little hoy knelt at the casement
With his nose flattened out on the
pane;
The drops trickled down on the window,
And the tears on his cheeks ran a
race;
)h, lie was so sad! The dav was so
had,
I'hal somehow it showed on his face.
le cried and ho fretted and scolded,
fill the little dog wont from his
side
M'raid, and t he lit le white kitten
ffopt into the closet to hide,
\nd the lit lie tin soldiers were standing
Way up in the attic alone,
E*or the little hoy knew of nothing
to do,
lint kneel at the window and moan,
Pho clouds journeyed on o'er the
heavens
Till a little light streak of the sky
<h..ne inlo his eyes, till they brightened.
And I he tear.-' op !:i< Paeo were all !
dry:
Then the glad sun hurst out like a
blossom.
And a smile spread all over his
face:
Alien the sky was all blue, his happiness
grew,
Till joy was all over the place.
rite dog wagged his tail and was
merry
And the kitten came down through
(he hall.
>he purred, as he stroked hor, and
told her:
"The day is all right after all."
^nd the little tin soldiers were lunching
Until they were tired of the drill,
\nd a sleepy-eyed boy, with a heart
full of joy.
Climbed into his bed and was still.
