Residence Phone 88 The Situation Explained(Continued from page one) sistance of the patriotic citizensh of the State, and every man ow< it to himself as well as to his Sta1 to see that all property is returned i a fair valuation so that it will be? its proper proportion of taxe Otherwise, those who do make fa returns, regardless of where they liv in the State, will be unjustly bearin the tax burdens of others. The Tax Commission has alread fixed a uniform rate on the propert of corporations. Since it is provide by law that real estate is *iot r< turned annually, as personal propert is, but only once in four years an this being the year for such return it was very necessary that the con mission take action at this time fc a reassessment and equalization < real estate along fair and equitahl lines. Otherwise we would have ha to wait another four years at lea: for a reform as to real estate asses: nient. So, if County Auditors, Boarc of Assessors and Boards of Equaliz? tion throughout the State Snd the Ta Commission do their duty, we sha have a new deal in taxation in Sout Carolina and a fairer one than eve before. If an injustice should be don along the line even through the Ta Commission, there is a Board of R< view as a final resort for any one ir jured, and Union County is fortunat in having one of its fair and uprigl citizens as a member of this board. The question is asked: "How wi this new departure from the old pla of taxation affect Union County?" ] is no change from the old plan at al but merely carrying out what th constitution requires ? somethin that has not been done before. ] will doubtless make some change within the county, lowering some a: sessments and raising others. How ever, 011 the average this county ho its lands assessed too high alread as compared with lands of othe counties in this State. I believe ths I am correct in saying that the avei age lands in Union County are no< assessed at close to 50 per cent c their market value. I know of som that are taxed on a valuation of mor than they \yould bring on the blocl while others should be raised. But o the whole the present movemer should lower the land tax of Unio County. Why? iJct us make a com parison. (It would he too tedious t go through the returns of a long lis of counties, and we shall take onl the following, with the average va uation per acre for taxation in 1911 Barnwell ___________ $45 Chesterfield Darlington __________ o JB Marlboro - -- -- -- -- -- 5.8 Orangeburg __________ 4.3 Union 4.5 Chesterfield's lands may be less val uable than ours, but is' there any on who doubts that the lands of Bam well are as good or better on th average than those of Union County Compare Orangeburg, the great cot ton county, with Union. What abou the high priced lands of Darlingto and Marlboro Counties, much 0 which sells for more than $200 pe acre, being assessed at a valuatio of $5.35 and $5.83 per acre? Ye Union, with most of its land sellini at anywhere from $5.00 to $20.00 pe acre, pays taxes cn a basis of $4.54 Is any further argument needed t show that we have been paying mor than our share of State taxes? If so, take the assessments on liv stock and for our information stud; the following figures covering the as sessed valuations of horses and mule per capita in a few counties: Ilorses Mules 1016 1017 1916 1911 Anderson $37.07 $45.30 $40.50 $51.1 G'wood 36.10 43.20 40.24 49.SI Cherokee 10.00 4*6.34 45.80 53.0 Marlboro 38.40 48.07 42.64 64.0! Pickens 27.10 46.02 28.57 48.21 Union 67.00 50.30 52.87 62.11 You will note that before the ta: commission got busy on this class o property Pickens County was in 1011 paying on horses at $27.19 and mule, at $28.57, while Union County pan on these animals respectively $5".0i and $52.37. Also make other com parisons. Should the invigorating at mosphere of Pickens make our Ion;; eared friends less valuable than tin climate of our own county? Onl; another evidence of the injustice <? our metnoa of assessment in the pasl However, in 1917 you will see tlia Pickens was Taised on horses an< mules to $46.02 and $18.29 respective ly, and Union was lowered to $60.3! and $52.10. For at least a part o this change I have information tha the tax commission is responsible We may expect favorable action ii the matter of equalization of land as sessments. ? Do not he misled by anything yoi may hear as to other counties not *e turning property in accordance witl the order of the commission, whili Union County is. If others fail ii their duty, I have the assurance o the Commission that they will b raised to a basis of equality.

Though she had suffered with rheu! | matism so badly she could not walk c" at times during three or four years, ^ and had been troubled a great deal l(* with a number of other ailments, Mrs. s' J. T. Durham, of 2210 S. Main St., 1_ Anderson, declares that "Tanlac relieved my rheumatism and other trou> bles and got me in good shape in e three weeks, after a lot of other medicines had failed to help me. "I sufFered with rheumatism so badly I could not walk at times," continued Mrs. Durham, "and for several l~ hours every morning when the rheu* I matism was particularly bad I would i have to sit in a chair after being | helper from my bed, and then my !1 ! muscles would get so I could move c arpund by pushing a chair before me. x j I generally was able to get around enough to get dinner, though I could i never get breakfast. One of my legs 0 i was badly drawn, and I hurt all over j and suffered torture. T had rheuroa! tism badly for three or four years, but I had been in bad health fo.* about n : nine years, when I began to take ^ Tanlac. I also was troubled a great ' deal with indigestion and headaches, l? and my nerves were almost 'gone to K pieces.' I could not sleep well and my system was weak and run down, :s and I felt tired out all the time. 5" "The Tanlac soon got me where T could do my own housework, for it lS quickly relieved the rheumatism and y that drawing in my leg. I am strong r and I feel well now. Tanlac certainly is a fine medicine for rheumatism, I think. I very seldom ever feel a pain in my body now, so well did Tanlac break up the rheumatism. The e medicine also built up my system in e general, gave me a fine appetite and relieved the indigestion. I could not n taking Tanlac ,but it got me so I could eat anything I wanted. I can n sleep well now and the Tanlac relieved the nervousness. I sure do ? feel fine and the improvement in my condition is due to Tanlac." y l" For sale by Palmetto Drug Co., ."

So, if our assess3 ment valuation is materially inf creased, then the levy will be det creased proportionately. u The facts that I have given should ^ show that we are not hopelessly lost and that there is a brighter day for union County in tho matter of taxj ation.
