Mr. Grier represented the cotton mills of the State, through the Asso ciation, which the mills are not fully satisfied with the 50 per cent basis, it is realized that this was the best that could be had. ' The most vigorous argument against the action taken by the board waa that of Mr. Jeremiah Smith, of Horry, who said that the coastal landa are assessed enough now; that there Is much real estate that is val ueless to the farmer on account of awamp lands and other property that does not produce anything, and that the farmer is now bearing sufficient taxes.
