Whereas, God in his infinith wisdom has deemed it best tc remove from us our reverec fiend, brother, and Sunday school teacher, Mr. Frank Cox, who died Monday morning. April 8, 1912. Therefore be it, Ived, that we make i1 ur~ opinion of hinr was .that he was an earnest ~zealous, active christian charac Zter,- whose religion was a con stant -companion in daily life that his ability as a Sunday school teacher was marked, ani that the impress of his teach ings has been ot timely benefil iwiour spiritual lives.

William Collins, an old Con federate veteran, aged eighty one years, died at the home oi his son-in-law, Darling Durham, est Saturdas night, April 6th. {e was not sick for any length f time; Ebis death was rather sudden. The remaims were aid to rest on Sunday following at Morganburving grouii near r-aters Creek Church by the side of his wife who preceeded him several years. At the time of his death Mr. Collins resided 1e0 on-the farm of Capt. W. B. All- boi good near Pickens. Mr. Collins boi was a good soldier, having serv ed throughout the War in Capt. Pulliam's Company, 2nd South ,n Carolina Rifles. He leaves sur- co viving his widow, a second wife, A and three children. The funer- 1 al services were conducted by A Rev. J. E.

S It seemes that the taxes in - this county instead of being re | duced, increase each yar. I - Why this is we are unable to saT. Last year we paid 19J c - mills and this year the levy will 11 - be 191 mills. Property increas. t - es each year. We have on the a - tax books nearly a quarter mil- t lion dollars more than we had a I - year ago and yet the levy is one b - half mill more. In the instruc - tions sent out by the Comptrol- j ler General to the County Audi tor as fixed by-the act of the,4 last legislature the levy this * ,year is as follows: a For State purposes 51 mills For con., school tax 3 mills a For ordinary co.. pur. 6 mills t For past I.debtedness I mills t1 For chaingang 24 mills d For rural police i mills t( For sinking fund debt 11 mills Total 191 mills A levy for the past few years I of one half mill has been levied for constabulary, but according to the instructions sent the auditor no levy has been made for this purnose this year. Does this mean that the office of dis pensary const Ible has been abolished in this county and rural police substituted? We have been told that Representa tive McCravy procured the pas sage of an act providing fora rural police in this county, but a what the provisions of the law are we are not informed. But, c inasmuch as there has been no levy provided for the payment tb bof constable, we take it for ~ granted that this office has been a abolished. We would be glad y for someone who knows to in- v? form our readers about this. There does not seem to be any necessity for th3 two officers in this county, :onstable and rurat s rpolice. That. it seems to us, would be overdoing the thing in 'view of the fact that we alreadyc have a sheriff and the m gis Etrate's constables who have the s same duties. The county equalizations Sboard met in the Auditor's office' Slast Saturday, but no material( Schanges in the returns of proper Sty for taxation was made. The assessments on some of the au Stomobiles was raised. These c machines are becoming quite an item in the taxable property t C -of the county. Annual Report of City Council e April 1st 1912.
