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.

untold agony for nearly forty days
and through all his sulYering he was
never known to complain, but bore
his pain and afflictions with perfect
patience and never murmured,
and his path to the spirit land seemed
bright and shining. He passed
away as though he was going to
