TAXCOIiLECTORS VISIT ' BATESBURG TOWN Treasurer' C. El. Deaphart and Auditor W. D. Dent were here Friday collecting taxes. Taxes along all lines seem much higher "this year than formerly and. many'.of our taxpayers owing to the financial condition of the country have postponed the payment of their tax for the present. Unless relief in some way ( is given our people the time is not far distant when it will be with diHlculty that many of our people will be able to pa^ the taxes -imposed. It falls heavily upon some of our business men this time on account of the business depression prevailing all over the country. Thanksgiving was observed by the C'AKI) OF THANKS. We wish to express our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends who so generously remembered uj with a bountiful Thanksgiving show cr. Mav God richly bless each of them.
