imposed by the State but the costs
and fees of the various ofllcialS who
serve the tax executions, and the hold

I p r cent, 00 all taxra in»t
Jan. 1. and an additional I per cent,
on February I, and per cent, on and
after March I. The act I* cumber
some and complicated In it operation*
and would give very unsrtlsfactory re
sults for the following reasons: So
small a penalty as 1 percent, is an en
couragement and inducement to small
taxpayers to hold off the payment of
their taxes, and if this law is put In
operation it will very greatly increase
the .number of delinquent taxpayers,
and correspondingly decrease the
money available for governmental
purposes. ' "
“Again, tlie graduated increase of
penalty involves the making up of
three penalty books instead of one as
heretofore and will tend to complicate
and confuse the accounts with the
treasurers, and will make it almost
impossible to obtain accurate balances
in making up the amiual settlements.
Furthermore, the making up of these
.several penalty books during the time
of taking returns for the ensuing year,
imposes a task upon the auditors
vhich is well nigh a physical impossi
bility. By the time the lirst penalty
book could be made up the month of
January would he far spent, and the
same wmld he true aa Vj February
and March...

Died on a Train.
The Augusta Chronicle aays a white
man, aged atmut thirty years, was
found dead on the outgoing Central
train of Wednesday morning, just
after leaving Waynesboro. Conductor
Thomas m^ie the discovery when he
approached the man to collect his
ticket. On his person were found
piipers which identified him as James
Finney, of Herndon, Ga. Two tickets,
good for passages from Herndon to
Augusta and return were also found.
Captain Thomas remembered that the
man'was put on the train at Augusta
by four white men. They remarked
that he ought to lie watched, as he
was about to develop a case of “mon
keys.” Passengers noticed that he
seemed to tie in pain, complained a
great deal, and repeatedly asked for
water. He did not seem to be deeply
under thejlnfluence of liquor.
