The Equalization Board.
The County Board of Equalizatio
met on Tuesday in the office of tl:
auditor. All the members were pre
ent except the member from No.
Township. The following are ti
other members:
H. H. Folk, A. J. Gibson, E.
Keitt, R. C. Carlisle, D. V. Barre, ]
C. Smith, D. A. Cannon, A. F. Lan
ford, J. N. Feagle, and P. M. Derric
There was considerable among tl
members as to the value to be plact
upon the lands in the various towi
ships. The following is the valuatic
per acre by townships as fixed by tl
Board:
'No: I Tow nship ...........................5.
"a .) ..
" " 5... ..................... 4.
" 10 "................ 4.
"' 11 "................ 4.
The following resolution was ah:
adopted:
Re.sotred. That the laud withini to
miles of New berry Court House hea
sessed at t$9 per acre and that the lat
within one mile of Prosperity be a
sessed at87 peraere, andl that the chai
man of the Township Board of Asse
so:s inform the Auditor who are ti
owners of said lands.
The Board decided to make
change in the returns of personal pro
erty. The valuation of p)ersonlal pro
erty therefore stands just as left by t i
Township Boards of Assessors.
The valuation of real estate in ti
towns of Newberry and Prosperity
unchanged and stands just as giveni
by the owners.
It seems to us that the Board has y
a very low valuation on the real esta
in the various townships-a great de
lower than any land could be puV
chased in Newv berry County.
At the rate per acre placed upon tl
land in the county the assessment
the real estate in the towns of Pi
perity and New berry will be nearly
quite as much as the valuation of
.the other land ini the county. WVe w
have more to say of this again.

Death reigns in all portions of ot
time, in all places, under all circun

find it. Death is no respector of pe
sons. It spares neither age, sex,

monarchs pass, the way that the me
of letters tread, the path of the warrio
the short and simple ways of the poo
all terminate in one enormous how
which is appointed for all the livin;
"It is appointed. unto men once to die.
There is the end of this life. "And 1
died."
Death is sad under all circumstance
but it is peculiarly so when it appea
so suddenly unannounced. This w
the case last Sunday morning when
was sadly whispered from ear to ea
"Ir. Henry S. Boozer's wife is dead.
The swift and unerring messengc
