EE The following story relating ?:o a = very novel way of paying taxes was EE gathered at the Richmond county EE court house from one who has re- EE cently returned from Evans. Colum- = bia county, and who actually saw ||| taxes paid in that manner, relates an = Augusta, Ga., dispatch. |= It seems that the officials of Co- EE lumbia county have hit upon a most! E= convenient and unique system tor > = collecting taxes in that they allow the !== citizens of that county to pay their' = road taxes in corn, not the liquid but == the commodity. The corn is valued j|| at one dollar a bushel and is accepted =i at that rate in lieu of cash in the pay ment of road taxes. Many of the citi- ~ zens are taking advantage of that novel way of selling a crop and paying (their taxes by the wagon load. The probable reason for this; unique method of collecting taxes is ! the fact that money is so scarce and the freight rates so high that the profit from a crop would be very little more to the farmer if it were ^ sold than if it were used to pay the taxes and also the fact that Columbia county needs corn as food for its stock. The idea has its appeal and its advantages to both the county and uig lairnci. Funeral Directors and Embalmers Motor Hearse J. COONER & SONS Bamberg, S. C. j Iehrhardt i community! fair i!
