A WORD TO SUBSCRIBERS.
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.

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?

is there arrangements made, as to
the number of subjects for the time
allowed as to the days. 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

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

Secretary.

To the merchants or Colleton:
This is the month thau Thanksgiving

that the clerks you have hired are

largest stores of the county writing
to ask the merchants of the county
to make a new record this year and
give us all a day off.
Most of the stores or the county
