Time for Paying Taxes The time for paying taxes for tho past year was out on tho first day of this January. At that time according to the laws of tho state a ponai ty of one percent was imposed on all who remained un paid. On tho first of February a penalty of two percent was impos ed and still many remain unpaid. The penalty increases every month and the longer one waits the more the taxes will bo. lt was stated in the Treasurer's fb. oiUcc thc other day that a number had as yet neglected to pay their taxes. This is accounted for in various ways, One reason given is that several people, notably tho cotton holders, wanted to hold theil1 crops and they figured that it V^?/' would be Cheaper to pay this pen alty than borrow money. Anoth er, ol' course, is that the matter has just slipped the attention of some ol' them, while others still have simply not paid because they were not minded to. In the oilico ol* the county audit or returns are being made for this coming year. I t is stated that the returns are being made slowly and that people are taking their own time ami consulting their own pleasure. It is well to recall that the 50 per cent penalty goes on after the 20th February. That is if a man has $100 worth of pro perty ard neglects to make his re turns until after the 20th of this month then lie will be taxed on Slot) worth of property, This is the fifty percent penalty and how it works. In talking over the matter it was learned that the people of Ben nottsvillo are more behind in mak ing their returns than any other place in the county. They are be hind in making their returns and behind in paying their taxes, lt is not known what the cause is un less it is the spirit of indifference. It may bo that people feel that they aro right here on the spot and can make their returns any day. The only trouble is that tho clay which they choose might bo after thc 20th of this month and then the trouble will come. - -?4?? . .- -? ^ Marriage of McColl Man.
