Mr. Lee arose again and stated that the independent companies sold fertilizers as high as the Trust and he wanted an investigation. The next speaker was George H.

THE STATU HOARD OF EQUAI.l j ZATION MET IN COLUMBIA LAST WEEK. Hoard did NottiiiiK Much as to tliv Assessments on Real Estate, and the Values Sent in hy the County Hoards From a!l Over the Staet Keiiiain Unchanged With Exccn* tion of llorry and ColletonThe Stale Hoard of Tkpinlix.ation met in Columbia last week for the purpose of going over the assessments of proportv in various counties of the State. The most interesting property that is returned is real estate, and as to this, the loard aid nothing as to the matter of equalizing the values in the counties. The assessment as lived by the couniy b mivIs were left untouched by the board with the exception ol Horry and Colleton. As to consideration of the as j sessments in Horry and Colleton, the correspondent for the News and Courier has the following to say in his paper of last Friday: "Mr Derliam, of Horry, and Mr L'riee, of Colleton, insisted that their counties wore too high, and to sat isfy all parties Mr H end ticks olTored ati amendment that the increase in Horrv would not exceed f>() nor < <m 11 and the increase in Colleton should not exceed 25 per cent. This amendment was agreed to, unci after considerable wrangling and protest the board adopted Mr Adair's resolution, accepting of the returns exactly as they have been sent in by the county auditors and leaving the assessments as they were hxed by the county boards, with the exception made for Horry and Colleton counties through the influence of Mr Derhatn and Dr Price." It appears from this that the increase in 1 lorry cannot exceed 50 per cent. I.aurcl. Ccorgc Officer and family moved over Monday.
