)RT MILL, S. C., TIIUB
TAX LEVY BY COUNTIES
In Several Counties Special Provision
Made on Account of Change In
Dispensary Law.
Columbia State.
Below is published the principal
details of the annual supply bill
j passed by the 11)07 generul assembly.
Being in the main a mass of figures,
the average reader will be inclined to
study alone the figures relating to
tne levy in his particular county, yet
a careful study of the entire measure,
particularly of the special levies
made by the various counties, will
prove interesting.
The state levy is tixed at 4 1-2
mills, 1-2 mill less than last year. To
this is added in every county
throughout the state the constitutional
3 mill school tax.
The county levy ranges from 2
mills in Charleston and Oranpeburp
to 11 mills in Lexington, the extremely
hipli levy in the latter county
beinp required on account ol" a
larpc amount of interest to he paid
each year oft bonds pivon in aid <>
the Columbia, Newberry an I
Laurens railroad.
The following counties make special
levy for pood roads: Clarendon,
Cherokee, Chesterfield. Colleton,
Florence, Greenville, Kershaw.
Laurens, Oconee, 1'iekcns, Spartanburp,
and Union.
Union enjoys the unique and commendable
distinction of hemp the
sinple county in the state which
makes a direct appropriation for its
Confederate veterans. In addition
to gettinp their pro rata of the $2o0,000
appropriated by the state, the
veterans of Union receive the bene
fit of a levy of one-fourth of one mill
on all the taxable property of that
county. Charleston likewise occupies
an equally unique position in
that a tax of one-eight of one mill is
levied for the militia of that county.
The proceeds of this one-eighth mill
tax is paid to the board of otUcors
of the state volunteer troops in the
city of Charleston.
The levy in Iticliland county is
among the very lowest in the state.
