And at the Auditor's office in Sumter on all other days, from Jan. 1st until Februarj 20ih, inclusive. Tti? law nquires that all persons owning property, or in any wise having charge of such property^ either as agent, husband, guardian, trustee, executor, administrator, sc., return the same under oath to the Auditor, whor"reqn?sls all persons to- be prompt in making their returns and save the 50 per cent, penalty, wiicL s*ill bs added to ike property valuation of all persons who fnil to rjake returns within the time pre ? scribed by law. A good way for the taxpayer who has much property to re*urn, is to make a mem? orandum of tte number of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, or? gans and pianos, buggies wagons and car? nacs, dugs, merchandise, machinery, mon? eys! notes and accounts (above indebtedness) furniture, ?c., which will'save the taxpayer and enable the assessor to progress in ihe wort. ' Taxpayers reurn what they own on the Srst day of January, .1892. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full,- also make a separate return for e-jch party for the township the property is in, and where the taxpayer owns realty to insert the postoffire as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property to give the party's name wiu, owti3 the {and they live on a? their cesidetce, which aids the taxpayer as well as the c-unty treasurer ia making the collection and preventing error?. Every ?mle citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of January, L8&2, except those incapable of earning a support from beu:g maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable po?te. All returns that are made after the twen? tieth day of february next have to be placed on the additional list and fifty per cent, pen? alty added thereto, unless prevented hy sick? ness or out of tnt* countv during the time of listing. Kot knowing the time of listing is no excuse. And all owners of real estate might do their tenants who cannot rend or take a newspaper, a great favor by making their returns or telling then th* time of list? ing, and that if th-y fail to make th-ir re? turns iii time that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent, unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of tuxes is all done now ia the same year, and we have to aggregate ?he number and v-lue o' all the j horses, cattle, mules, &c, as well as the acres j of land, lots and buildings aad their v.ilue, that ti.ere is iu the county, and have same on fiie in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year And from thal time to the first day of October each i year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate J has to be completed and an abstract ol the work in the Comptroller's office by that lime which will show at ag?ante that the auditor has no time to take in returns, or do any? thing eise much, between ?he fi st day of March aud the iir&t d*y of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. There? fore hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of making their returns in lime. PETE it THOMAS, Dec 9. Auditor Sumter County MACHINE"SHOP.
