m t __ I THE HORRY HERALD, Thursday January 18, 1906. I AXA1U I VAl l I S Improvement* in Marion Conntv Compared With Those in Horry. To the County Hoard of Assessors. We see in last week's Herald that you have resolved to raise the valu ation of real estate in this county 50 per cent " We don't question the honesty of vour motives and fully realize the financial predicament this countr is in. She used to be out of debt and had tuouey ahead ? of which her people often boasted? while her sister county, Marion, was several thousand dollars behind Now things are, exactly reversed. Marion has paid up her big debt while Horry has fallen as far behind and that, too, without having done anything! Marion has hunt $fS,UUU jail, a $5,000 lire 'proof vault, lias built hundreds of bridges and dams recently and still climbed out of debt, while Horry hasdone comparatively nothing except to get into debt. Horry's linances arc in an ignominious mess! She has been swindled and filched more than any one knows, and who can tell just how much has been paid back? If any one knows, let him speak right out. Hut Horry has plenty of company. A number of other counties are behind and the State i> in the same fix. Thev got that way even when the enormous dispen-ary profits were in evidence; the question now is, "How shall we fill up that extravagant, hole?" Well, t here are three ways of raising taxes higher. You must either increase the number of mills or raise the valuation of prop, erty or do both. If it must be done (and it must) the most sane way is to increase the valuation of property, 'as the Attorney General has in Ml licmil > 'J;I 1,11 HI), MJ I" ll.<U\f UK.outside world believe we possess more weaLth and pay a lower rate of taxes. A^rain, we are endeavoring to pot our property assessed at its real value as directed by l be Constitution. That would be fair if every body or all the counties w?>uld do so; but it would be unfair for you to put real estate up 50 per c*. nt in Ute-ry unless the other counties nit their real estate on the same plane: and 1 contend that if some other counties should rai>e the valuation of their property IbU per cent, and llorry should let hers stand as it is justice would ho more nearly satisfied than at present. Take Marlborough county for example I have lived in that county and know that nearly all the land is cleared and in si hit'h state of cultivation. It is claimed to be the richest county in the St site ? farms: su?l I i n tr I Ihiim Iwt vnni> more than $100 per acre. Yet her lauds are assessed at $5 per aere. Tukainto consideration the great per ventage of uncleared and waste land in this county and the price Of land as compared with that j of Marlborough and then compare the assessment. Economists! teach us that "anything is worth what't .vill fetch." Well, if you were to go to Marlborough to buy laud you would find cleared land selling from $50 to $150 per acre while in Ilorry it is selling from $5 to $25 Woodsland in this county is selling from 50 cents to $5 per acre, while in Marlborough it is being bought by the timber companies at from $!4 to $20 per aere. In other words lands in - Marl borough county are today ' fetching" ten times as much as they are in Horry. Now see if they are assessed ten times as high. Again, take a look at some personal property. Mules in 1004 were valued in Marlborough county at $40 while in Horry thev were valued at $70. If the mules in the two counties had been of the same qual ity, Horry's mules would have been assessed at about 70 per cent, higher, but the mules in Marlborough are worth no less than $40 per head more than those in Horry, which makes the inequality still worse. Now suppose that both counties raise mo valuation <?i muies :>u per conl?don't yon see that the ineqality and unfairness are maintained? Why not let our assessments remain some what the same and let some of these undervalued counties catch up. General Jones is feigning ^that he wants the outside world to think we are rich anil have low taxes; but the truth is, gentlemen, that our extravagance and the death of that abominable dispensary, that taught us to be so, have knocked a great big hole in the treasury that must be filled.

A Beautiful Home Wcddinjr. On Decern I >er 20th, 1005, a large crowd assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. C Stroud to witness the marriage of their eldest daughter, Mi?- Mattie. a charming girl, to Mr. A. M. Worley. ^he briopJ party was stationed in a room near the parlor. Promptly at 12 o'clock Miss liessie Stroud with Mr. Willie Worley inarched into the parlor and took a position on the left and were followed by Miss Jen I nie Worley with Mr. Jesse Nance | who took their places to the right; Miss Moliie Tyler with Mr. Kemp Ccllie to the left, Miss Janie Pord I with Mr. Pearl Watson to the right Then came the bride and groom to be and took their places. The Uev. Moses Pridgcon, facing the couple, performed the ceremony very quietly. The bridal party then retired to the room and remained until dinner was announced. All were invited to the dining room where a nice dinner v as served. The bride was beautifully arrayed in white and her veil was gracefully caught with white ribbon. The bride never looked lovelier than she did on this occasion. Miss Stroud is one of the most cultured young ladies of this neighborhood and is possessed of a lovely Christian character which has won for her a host of friends and fortunate indeed is he who has won her for his own, and he is to be congratulated on having won her heart and hand Mr. Worley is one of the most prominent young men of Columbus county. N. C. The mu ic was sweetly rendered by Miss Prankie Watson. After all 1 1 - * 11tiii enjoyeu a lew hours together tin4 bride and groom, accompanied by a number relatives .and friends, left for the home of the groom'* father where a nice supper was , prepared. We all wish them a long and happy life. A Fnend.
