The ceeh-ln-edranee plan under which The Frees and Standard has heen operatlnp for eereral months has proven moet satisfactory, and ure would not so back to the -old loose pay-when-you-piease plan. In fact there Is no necessity for doing as, for the results of the present plan are eminently satisfactory. Occas ionally we hear of a subscriber who says he will not renew, because If we are afraid to trust him he will not trust us ( but this number is rap idly diminishing. We explain te him that It Is not a question of trust- lag him i as an Individual, but of knowing who to trust in this way. If he will not be convinced we then show him over our “grave yard” containing the names of those who have “fallen by the wayside" and whose subscription account shows from one to three years in arrears, and by a little figuring we convince him that we were getting an aver age of only about 60 cents for a year's subscription, which would hardly pay for the paper used In printing his fifty-two. Now we get 100 cents for fifty-two copies and know we are getting it. This pro cess of reasoning is usually satisfac tory, and we get a renewal. Then too, the matter of error is eliminat ed, and we are not bothered by complaints as to mistakes in sub scription accounts, which in Itself is worth a great deal to us. We write the above to let our friends whose subscriptions are ex piring this month know that we are still sticking to the cash-in-advance plan strictly. We trust all of them will renew. In October our new subscribers greatly exceeded our de linquents. TAX IKIDGKKH. yaars of having tho Visit tho dtfforoat norths ortmty to eolloot tax- os. Tho Prose M4 Standard Is of tho opinion that this onstooa * hr* ontllvod its usefulness rid thst tho county treasurer should spend his tfmo at his office st the Court House. More people are dSsoommdd- ed oaeh. day the treasurer Is gwuy than are aecomasodated at the places visited. It Is no hr.rdsbln to sap net tho people of every eeetlon of tho coastty to com* to Wnller- bore to pay their taxes, or If th»w do pot vrlah to come, with the present mall facilities over tho coun ty, there Is to reason why the mat- tor pf paying taxes crinof bo at tended to at tho cost of two cents post ago to each Individual. Not only are the patrons of the office who desire to pay taxes discommod ed by hsarlng the treasurer's office closed, but at thlg season of the year when nil the 'schools are lo operation, teachers are pot to ever* Inconvenience by not being able to got their school clalmsUcashed. We, therefore, trust that this is the last year the county treasurer will undeHake this tour of the county, because It Is useless wid fruitless and fr> addition he is running great er risk than la necessary for a public offlclcl to run In carrying about with him sums of moi>3y. 1- 25.515 2.415 22,075 3,460 22,630 86.850 Perhaps a study of tho auditor’s books at this time will not be unin teresting, with a view to ascertain ing the “ctflcial” wealth of Colleton county. For this purpose a brief mention is made of ihe .taxable per- J socal property fpr the county as shown from the county auditor's abstract. Some of the figures fol low. 2437 horses returned at..$lJ0.155 2132 cattle at ; 2877 mules at. . . . 1725 sheep had gouts at . . 7158 hogs at 197 gold, silver watches 611 pianos and organa at 4703 vehicles at 2500 dogs at 12 500 Merchandise at. ; , . . 14 3I300 Manufacturers at 3,160 Manufactured articles at .. 179,900 All Moneys 2,200 Bnnks 57,410 „ Railroads and Corporations returned at 822.245 The total personal property in the county including railroads and cor porations, amounts to 12,094.105. A study of the above figures is worth while. It is evident from the totals for the county that there muat be a large percenuge of the people of the county tax dodgers if not in one thing in another. Supposing there are 30.000 peo ple in Colleton county there is only one homo or mule for every 5.6 per. _ eons; one cow to every 3.3 persons; one dog to every 4.2 persons; one “gold or silver watch to every 152.3 persons; one piano to every 5 per sons; one dog to every 12 persons and only 82,200 In cash in the coun ty. Any person at ail familiar with conditions in the county will see at a glance Just what a farce such re turns are. There should be at least twice the number of cattle and three times tho number of hogs, to pay nothing of dogs. And is it not laughable to think i or only 197 watches in the county! ' Why there are several time* that number in Walterboro. How light would taxes seem If everyone would make just and bon hat returns! Here is n work for our legislators. Let them deviee some method for Uktag returns whieh will put the taxable property of the coun ty on the tax books. What are your plana, Mr. Legislator?

Leaving this arrangement to the convention and suggesting that it be done im mediately after organization. It is optional with the convention to re- arrange the order ot procedure in the presentation ef subjects. The secretary request^ that the school prepare the letters by the printed forme sent to each school. Send a good working delegation. Let us be on time. Como expecting a good uieeting. We are meeting at the ■extreme end of the territory, hut we go to a church full of genuiu* hospitality, and they welcome us with open hands. Let us jovfully ac cept their cordial invitation. Bjr the Program Committee . The committee on music are ex pected to select the songs for the song service, and as there has beer, no numbers selected for practice among the several Sunday school* composing the convention, it is sug gested that such numbers in Gospel Hymns bo arranged as sha'I make the song service one of helpfulness said give enthusiasm to the meeting. Nothing can be more helptiil than Joyful soulful singing . J. C. Lawson, Secretary.
