M~~m~xis. C% S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WENESDAY, March 12,1890. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION. We were an attentive listener last Tuesday, at the meeting of the board of equalization, and we are much pleased with the present aspect of things. The extreme low valuation of property in this county has been a "thorn in the flesh" to us, and we are now truly gratified to note that we believe the present board will correct the evil. We are not in favor of plac ing property too high, but we think it should be placed at a fair market value. If a man has a piece of land that will make him a bale of cotton to the acre, and is convenient to a shipping point, it is worth not less than $25 an acre, and a return less than that is an injustice to other tax payers. Our swamp lands have here tofore been listed at twenty cents an aere! These lands are now bringing two dollars an acre, and in a year's time will b'ring three or more. It seem to us very clear that the board of equalizaton having taken the oath they took laa Tuesday, to see that property was returned at an equitable value, cannot allow this land to go on the tax books for much less than two dollars an acre. Some with whom we talked thought one dollar an acre would be a fair value. Well one dol laris only one half of the real market v e, but then one dollar is five times what it has heretofore been listed at. A gentleman tells us that he knows of four plantations, side by side, of equal giz and value, yet they range in value onthe tax books from $3.50 an acre to $10 an acre, and not one of the farms could be bought for less than $25 an acre. It is just such cases as these, that the board of equalization Shasto look into. We presume that every township board is familiar with every farm and other piece of prop arty in their. township. The plain duty then, of each board is to care Sfully canvass each separate return: if the property is listed about its proper valueleave it; if listed too high, lower t iflisted too low, raise it. Few pieces will be found, however, to be listed btoohigh. But every piece of prop erty, real or personal, must be listed individual value. If two men farms adjoining, and one has so improved his farm as to be worth R donble what his neighbor's is,' he Juut list his property at double that of his neighbo's. If two men buy cows at ten dollars apiece: one neg lecta his, and she gives him only two ~.quarts a day;while the other improves bilaso that she will give eight quarts Sa day: then the man must list his ~hk2Jz~tcow at a higher price than ~ he two-uart cow. The board is not) Sto considi what was the value of the property, buteofte aeconfident that the present bor ilnot adopt any such unjust Splan as has heretofore existed, of say -;ing that every tract of land in a given Stownship shall be valued at the same Sprice per acre. Such a course is a Sgroes injustice and altogether unfair. ~ But we are confident that each mem -ber of the board will follow the law ai the case, and see that every tract Sobland and other piece of property is1 isled at its own value, independent of hevalue of other pieces of property. ~-2We heard itstatedlast Tuesday that ro eparties in sending in returns baii7 neglected to state the value of lbinands. Such returns are in fact ~ireturns, and should not be allowed &b~ tbe Auditor. The law requires Sthat the value be sworn to by the tax payer, and how can a taxpayer swear to what he does not say ? All altera G tios made by the board of equaliza Stion, must be made on a separate Z peeof paper, and niot on the return. mo~ake any changes on the return a ~x realty a piece of forgery, unless ~ the tax payer has been notified. SWe believe the present board of '--egnalizatinwill see to it, that the probperty of Clarendon county is list 44e at or near its actual value. It is Sand will be so done in other counties. Bard of Eqnnatin Meeting. The County Board of Equalization etTuesday in the court house; and Swas called to order by County Auditor D J. Bradham. Every township ex cept Sandy Grove was represented, and the following persons presented na: hmselves as the members of the township boards elected to serve on .the county board: M oUsrZIoN-W. B. Coskrey. -3 )ainDNG-James-E. Davis. Suir Swm-E. G. DuBose. -Coscooa-E. R. Bichbourg. Sr. JAMEs-J. H. Mc~night. SL'TzE-B. D. Thames. Sr. PAULe-J. H. McCollum. FBxINSHIP-J. 0. Brock. Car~vinx--D. F. Lyde. Fuoio-HK B. RichardsoD. B~anr Gxovz DotYGAs-W. J. Gibbons. Xxw Zzox-W. D). Gamble. Mzowxr-K. B. Barrow. Haiwor-S. M. Plowden. Pxawnzs Mzz~r,-T. J. Cole. Bazwzxorox-B. P. Fulton. Sr. MnX--J. W. Cole. Those who had not previously taken the oath of office were duly sworn in by Clerk of Ccurt James E. Davis. IThey were required to take an oath to -fairly and impartially equalize theg *value of property in the county, and to see that the property was returned at its just and real value. They were also rcquired to take the anti-duelling oath. - After the oath was administered, the board was then duly organized by *re-electing CoL John 0. Brock chair man. This eleetion also makes Col. Brock a member of the State Board *of Equalizaion. Capt. Bradham read the law govern ing boards of equalization, and show ing that it is a wrong idea for the boards to place all the lands and other property at uniform prices, but that each farm or tract of land, and each horse or other piece of personal prprymust be returned at its in diiuland real value, and that all .the township or equalization board .ha to do with it is to see that each indiidalo piece of property is return d at its actual value, not too high or oo low. The matter was freely dis ussed, and it was shown that the old vay of the equalization board placing dl the land in a township at a uniform )rice was wrong in principle, and )ught not to- be further allowed. The aw says that the property in a town ship shall not be reduced in the aggre !ate, but it may be increased as the: judgment of the board dictates. For instance, if the aggregate value of the property in a township is $200,000,: ird the board feels satisfied that Smuith, who has returned his property for $100,000, has valued his property 25,000 too high, but that every otiler person in the township has placed a just and fair value on his property, they cannot change any of the re turns, for (1) being satisfied that all the other property holders have made just returns, they have not the right to make any change in them, and (2) as the law says that the aggregate shall not be lowered, they cannot re duce Smith's value, as that would low er the aggregate. So in this case they would simply leave the returns as made. But, on the other hand, if they feel satisfied that all the taxpay ers in a township have made just re turns, except Snooks, who has return ed his property for only $10,000, when really his property is worth $50,000, the law is very clear that it is the duty of the board to raise the value of his property to what they consider the real value. If, however, again, the board thinks that some in a township have made returns too high and others too low, then they can reduce those made too high and raise. those made too low, provided that after these changes are'made the aggregate value of all the property in the township is not lowered. The aggregate of a township may be increased to double or ten times the original value of the tax returns, but it cannot be lowered one cent. The law presumes, we suppose, that it is not human nature for a township of property holders to want to pay more taxes than the real value of their property would justify. The county auditor requested the members of the board to be certain to return the tax returns by or before the 20th of this month, or he could not make his report to them when they meet the first Monday in April. The auditor stated that the lands in the county had been returned at prices varying from twenty cents to fifteen dollars an acre, and he thought the average value of land in this county, according to the present re turns, would be about $3.50 an acre, aginst an average value for the past four years of $1.59 an acre. He stated that there bad been made this year over a thousand more returns than last year. Mr. N. B. Barrow moved to adjourn, to meet again the first Monday in April at 12 o'clock. The motion was carried and the meeting adjourned. Letter from the Levi Brothers. SUMTra, S. C., Mar. 4, 1890. Editor Manning Times: Dear Sir: Will you say ihrough the columns of your paper tha t we are gratified at the result of our advertis ing in the Tnxs. It has done us good, and at the same time we feel that we have been a benefit to the people in letting them kniow tha w,~ not ~very day persons call at our es tablishment and inform us that they saw what the Masrso TnIs had to say about our store, goods, and prices, and it is very gratifying to us to rea lize that our efforts to inform the peo ple of our immense stock is having its effect. We propose to continue to give this information to our patrons, and at the same time invite comnpeti tion, as we believe that every busi ness, and especially this of ours, needs rivalry and competition to make it succeed. We have assumed the posi tion of leaders in the mercantile bus iness inSumter, and in order to main tain that position we realize the fact that our goods must be sold very cheap, and our purchases must be made accordingly. Therefore we have taken great pains in making our spring selections, and we challenge any hou~se in Sumter to show up a finer, prettier, and cheaper lot of ladies' dress goods of all grades and patterns, trimmings, white goods, embroideries, laces, and in fact every article belonging to'a first class dry goods stock. Then there are our clothing counters filled with the very latest styles, manufactured especially for us. Hats of the nobbiest and lat est shapes. Our shoe department will compare favorably with the finest shoe stock in the State, as we make it a rule not to handle any shoes but those made of the best leathers and only, from the most reliable manufacturers, because we are convinced that no one article injures a trade quicker than a poor shoe. We have been and are still supply ing sub-unions in this and Clarendon counties, and while our profits have been very short, yet the large quanti ties of goods sold to them makes it pleasant and agreeable to us and to those purchasing from us, therefore we are determined to hold on to this trade,; and the only way it can be taken from us is for some other merchant to sell his goods cheaper, and this we will not allow. We extend an invitation to all of our friends in Clarendon county to come to see us. We will be glad to see them at any time, and if they de sire to make purchases we are prepar ed to sell to them as cheap as any! house in the county.I Believing that through the columns of the KMA2-G TnIrs we have been greatly -benefitted, we take this meth od of acknowledging the same. We are, Very respectfully, LEVI BROTHERS. There has been a terrific fuss at Constantinople in consequence of a German photographer having rashly attempted to take an instantaneous photograph of the Sultan as his Maj esty was proceeding on horseback to the mosque. The guard rushed upon him, smashed all bis instruments, and dragged him off to prison. The Koran forbids the depicting of the human form, and his attempt to photograph the Sultan was regarded as high treason of a peculiarly diabolical kind. f he had not been a foreigner he would probably have been quietly strangled, or otherwise got rid of; but, thanks to the energ- tic intervention of his ambassador, he was released after month's imprisonment on condition HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MIs. S. A. _ETTLEs. A CHEAP AND VY NICE WAY OF FrR -ISHING A DiNING Rool.-Paint all the wood work in two shades of cream. -olor, so as to have the room light. Scrub the floor well and fill all the cracks and holes with apaper putty made by soaking newspaper in a paste composed of wheat flour, water, and ground alumw, as follows: To one pound of flour add three quarts of water and a tablespoonful of ground alum, aud mix this thoroughly. The floor is then coated with this paste, and a thickness of manilla or hard ware paper is next put on. If it is desirable to have extra thickness, an other layer can be put on. This must dry thoroughly. The manilla paper is then covered with paste, and a layer of wall paper put on. A pattern with out any red in it is best as the red will run. Over this paper when thor oughly dry rub three coats of sizing. Two will do, or you may put on as many as four if you choose. This is made by dissolving one-half pound of white glue in two quarts of hot water. After this is thoroughly dry give it a coat of hard oil finish var nish, and when this is entirely dry the the floor is ready for use. This method is not expensive, makes the floor air-tight, and can be cleaned by washing or scrubbing. If the var nish is renewed as it begins to wear, the floor will last for a great while. Make a square of ingrain carpeting for the center to be used in cold Weather. One of the chief requisites for a dining room is a sofa or lounge where one can stop for a moment's rest. A very convenient one can be made out of a dry goods box. Stuff and cover the top, a nice piece of cretonne will look well, or dark red worsted if preferred. Place hinges on the top so that the box can serve for a receptacle for rubber overshoes and the countless little things children love to leave lying around. A frill of the material used for the top can be plaited around the box. A large pil low of course must be added. Drape the mantle with maroon canton fan nel, slashed about one-third the 'way across, and orne end caught up with a bow of satin ribbon. With a canton flannel cover for the table, to be used on state occasions only, and a hanging, lamp not for state occasions finishes a room costing very little. This is not grand of course, but sweet and clean and restful, and above all, home-like. ConN STARcH, BANOc MANGE. AND CxocoLATE S.uc.-Take two table spoonfuls of corn starch and mix with cold milk very smooth; warm to boil ing point, two pints of milk, in which some lemon rind, sugar, and a few drops of essence had been put, and pour into the corn starch without the lemon peel, while stirring all the time. Let simmer a few minutes while stir ring, and pour into a shape. Melt a' little fresh butter in sauce-pan, stir in half a spoon of corn flour and some chocolate finely scraped, with sugar to taste; pour in warm milk, stirring all the time, and beat up with the yolk of an egg. Having turned out~ the blanc mange at serving, pour the chocolate sauce over it. To whiten the hands, melt an ounce of camphor gum, half an ounce of glycerine, and one pound of mutton tallow, and apply every night. Salt and water will prevent the hair from falling out, and will cause new hair to grow. Do not use so strong as to leave white particles upon the hair. To restore gilding to picture frames, remove all dust with a soft brush and wash the gilding in warm water in which an onion has been boiled; dry quickly with cloth. Mildew is easily removed by rub bing common yellow soap on the ar ticle, and then a little salt, and starch on that. Rub all well on the article and put in the sunshine. A good cement for mending a stove that has a crack in it may be made by mixing silicate of potash or soluble glass with wood ashes. This cement will not stand moisture. NOoDLS.-MiR a very stiff dough out of three eggs, a little salt and flour, roll into very thin sheets, allow to lay a few moments, then roll all up, together and cut into shreds with a~ sharp knife, shake apart and allow to. dry (one can dry thoroughly, put away in a paper poke and use at any time.) These can he added to beef broth, chicken soup, or may be cooked about fifteen minutes in salt water, clipped from the water and browned, butter poured over for seasoning, or they are very good seasoned with plenty of milk, butter and cream with a little thickening.
