Another great man has gone from

We hear a good deal of Georgia far

when we know of so many who find it
hard to pay $2 for a year’s subscription

Equalization of Taxation.
We publish in another column this
morning a very thoughtful article on
the “equalization of taxation.” address
ed to the Legislature, which we take
from a late number of the Rome Cour
ier. The subject is one of the highest
importance to the people of the State,
and the next Legislature should make
•ueh enactments as would compel a
fair valuation and taxation of property,
o that the burden of supporting the
State may be justly divided. We hope
that every tax payer into whose hands
this paper may fall, will read the arti
cle referred to carefully.
Of all seasons ot the year there is
none better than this for the consump
tion of lemonade—not the ice-water
across which the shadow of a lemon
has passed, which is sold by the street
venders—but good, honest, pure lem
onade, wherein you get the entire juice
of one lemon in a single glass. It cor
rects the stomach, promotes digestion
and appetite, and worth any number of
schooners of beer as a refrigerant. Try
it; and if you want to drink lemonade
in its perfection have it concocted with
seltzer water. It will save you many
doctor’s bills before the end of the sea
son.
In the North American Review for
July, President Julius 11. Seelye
writes of “Dynamite as a Factor in
Civilization,” taking of the subject
the reassur ng view that dynatnitism
being merely a symptom of present dis
content, is necessarily a transient social
phenomenon, which will quickly dis
appear as the institutions of govern
ment are brought more into harmony
with the interests and aspirations of the
masses ot the people. In “The Last
Days of the Rebellion” Lieutenant-
General P. H. Sheridan recounts the
operations of the cavalry divisions un
der his command during the week pre
ceding the surrender of Lee, and offers
a highly important contribution to the
history of the late war. William S.
Holman, M. C., makes a striking ex
hibit of “The Increase of Public Ex
penditures,” and insists upon the ne
cessity for unceasing vigilance on the
part of the people, lest the burdens of
governmental administration become
intolerable. “Democracy and Moral
Progress,” by O. B. Frothingham, is a
philosophic forecast of the probable
outcome of “government by the people
themselves.” Z. R. Brockway, Su
perintendent of the Reformatory at El
mira N. Y., points out some “Needed
Reforms in Prison Management;”
Thomas Sergeant Perry writes of
“Science and the Imagination;” Geo.
E. Waring, Jr., of “Sanitary Drain
age;” Elbridge T. Gerry of “Cruelty
to Children;” and finally there is a
Symposium on “Church Attendance”
—the question whether the churches
are growing to be less of a power for
good now than in former times—the
aymposiasts being “A Non-Cburch-
Goer,” Rev. Dr. Wm. Hayes Ward,
Rev. Dr. James M. Pullman, and
Rev. Dr. J. H. Rylance. Published

Death of Ex-Governor Jenkins.
Ex-Governor Charles J. Jenkins,
who died at his home near Augusta on
Thursday night, was born in Beaufort
county, S. C., on the Gth of January,
1805, and was 78 years of age. He
removed in early life to Georgia, and
was a member of the Legislature as
long ago as 1830, and Attorney Gen
eral of the State in 1831. From the
dawn of his manhood to the day of his
death he was a conspicuous and ever
influential actor in Georgia politics,
and throughout that long period his
integrity was never questioned or the
purity of his motives doubted. He
was eminently a man without fear and
above reproach. He was often chosen
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives of Georgia, once a Judge of the
Supreme Court, a leading member of
nearly all the constitutional conventions
held in his time, and the first legal
Governor of Georgia alter the war, from
which position he was removed by
Gen. Meade. He was afterwards Pres
ident of the State Constitutional Con
vention of 1877—his last public ser
vice. When removed by Meade, he
refused to surrender to his bogus suc
cessor the treasure and the great seal of
the State, for which he was appropri
ately thanked by the Legislature. May
he sleep long and well, with wreaths
woven from the praises of his country
men above his grave.
Young Men in Congress.
There is said to be an unusually
large number of young men among the
members elect to the forty-eighth con
gress, but the youngest man who has
ever been elected to congress since the
adoption of the federal constitution was
John Randolph, of Virginia, The
New York Columbian of February
1810, has the following: “His fellow
citizens considering him a prodigy,
elected him their representative to con
gress at the juvenile age of twenty-two
years. We shall never forget the day
when the beardless legislator presented
himself before Mr. Sedgwick the speak
er, to take the customary oath. Struck
with his boyish appearance, he deman
ded, with that sternness which was pe
culiar to him, whether Mr. Randolph
was of age. “Ask my constituents,
sir, who sent me here,” retorted he,
which silenced the speaker and aston
ished the other members of the house.”

The following curious item is from
the Hancock, (0.,) Courier: “An
article is going the rounds of the press
relating how a cherry tree grew up in
the grave of a preacher in Philadelphia,
and when it was sought to disinter the
remains it was found that the roots of
the tree had encased and absorbed the
entire skeleton. We remember a very
similar case in the town of Delaware,
in this State. In the old graveyard in
that town an apple tree grew up in a
new made grave and flourished as no
other apple tree in the neighborhood
did, and in the course of years bloom
ed and bore fruit. It was known as the
“Dead Man’s Apple Tree,” and many
of the ignorant and superstitions peo
ple could not be prevailed upon to eat
the apples for fear they were poison
ous. It was not far from the college,
and there were always enough stu
dents who had no fear of consequences
to eat all the apples, and candor com
pels us to say that they were not very
good. About twenty years ago when
it was sought to remove the remains to
the new cemetery, the place where the
body had lain found to be a mass ot
small roots almost in the form of a cof
fin, but not a bone or a piece of the
cofiin could be found. The Dead Man’s
Apple Tree had been fed and nourished
on the bones of the dead man.”

The Tax Question of Sumter by
David.
“And the people said shall Johnathan
die? Uod forbid. As the Lord liveth not
a hair of his head shall fall to the ground.
So the people rescued Johnathan that he
died not.”
Such was the language in which
public sentiment found utterance when
Johnathan, the son of Saul stood con
demned to die by a decree of his father
for the insignificant offence ot putting a
single drop of honey in his mouth,
when famishing for food. The people
saw no wrong in the act and determined
to defend him.
They saw that it was a grand pre
cedent of resistance to a tyranical and
oppressive law of a bold and aggressive
tyrant, who lived upon the public and
like the fabled demon or vampire fas
tens itself upon the living body of its
victim and drew the last drop of blood
from it. The fiat had gone forth, that
even Johnathan, his son shall die if he
dare transgress the law by yielding to
the urgent demands of nature. Such an
edict was not in harmony with the love
of a father for a son, nor with that wis
dom that should characterize the ruler
of a great people.
Saul was annointed a ruler over the
house of Israel to watch over, guard
and protect them in all their rights and
interests as a nation. - Those high and
exalted privileges were abused, and
the extraordinary powers rested in him
perverted so as to become an engine of
torture, humility and death.
The Grand Jurors of Sumter are
significantly called the guardians of
the people vested with powers and
privileges, corresponding with those re
sponsible duties required of them by
the Constitution and laws of the State.
One of the highest of those privileges
and duties is that of recommending
of such measures as in their judgment
will promote the best interest of the
people. This great privilege has for
reasons unknown to us been abused by
the recommendation of measures that
have incumbered the county with a tax
that is oppressive and disastrous to
the highest interest of the people.
Like the edict of Saul that takes
life as a penalty for gratifying of the
natural wants of man, the measures
that are recommended if carried out by
the officials will sap the very founda
tion of prosperity. Our chains are
forged by the guardians of the people.
We hear them clanking in the streets
of the city and in the valleys and on
the hills of Sumter. Like the fabled
vampire officials of every grade with
authority of law conceived in the brain
of the Grand Jurors are fastened upon
the municipal and political body, and
while the people writhe and groan un
der the scorpian stings of officials, our
ears are deafened by a voiift in thunder
tones from the Grand Jnrors of Sum
ter recommending measures taxing the
people that are more oppressive, more
damning and intolerable than the
first. The officials of the past
ruled with a rod of wood, those of
the present strike with a rod
of steel. Every fiber of our being re
vaults at the great wrongs sought to be
inflicted upon a confiding people by the
guardians of our rights. You may
call this strong language. I tell you
that it is but the law and distant mut
terings of the volcanic fires that burn
in the breasts of the voters of Sumter.
Our burden, like the punishment of
(Jain, “is greater than we can bear.”
Like suppliants before the Czar of
Russia, we bow before the Grand Jury
and officials of the county as king light
upon the nature and extent of the tax
sought to belayed upon us and we get
no answer save the mutterings upon
the streets throwing the blame upon
the Grand Jury. God said “let there be
light and there was light.” We adopt
the language and ask the leading ques
tions. Is it a fact that the few prop
erty holders who live within the cor
porate limits of the city have a tax as
sessed upon them of $29,000?
Is it true that the State and County
tax of Sumter amounts to the sum of
$22,000. Such is the inference drawn
from the language of Sumter and Poor
Johnathan and the voters have the right
to know from the officials if it is true.
Is it a fact that an increase of $30,000
is asked to vest the Commissioners
with power to assess and collect a tax
upon the real and personal property of
Sumter to an indefinite amount approx
imating an annual sum of $20,000 for
road purposes? If so the people have
the right to know it. Poor Johnathan
affirms that these four assessments
make in the aggregate $105,000 to be
collected out of the property holders of
Sumter less than $2,700 pole tax.
The records show that the taxable
property of Sumter is $3,200,000 and
it is a fact that will not be denied that
at least three and one fourth per cent,
upon the $3,200,000 is required to raise
the sum of $105,000 tax. This plain
mathematical fact will not be denied
and yet the reckless recommendations
of thejnry force officials of the county
to ask the voters of the county to sanc
tion by their votes those withering,
scorching, damning and suicidal meas
ures.
The problems yet to come will make
the ears of bankers, landlords, and
merchants, to tingle and the muscles of
the hand to involuntarily grasp with
the strength of Shylock the keys of
their safes. We are told that you may
Kill a man’s whole family,
And he will brook it,
But keep your hands
Out of his breeches pocket.
I ask the Grand Jurors and the offi
cials will less than $l3O pay a freed-
mans’ tax who owns a property of
$5,000? Will a mercantile house with
a capital of $50,000 pay less than
$1,625? Or will a banking house with
a capital of $200,000 pay less than the
sum of six thousand, five hundred dol
lors if those measures are carried out.
They know this to be a fact, and they
must know that a policeman with a
property of two thousand dollars who
walks the streets day and night guar
ding and protecting their property for
six hundred dollars a year will pay
sixty-five dollars tax in the year 1884.
“Shall Johnathan die for resisting these
measures? As the Lord liveth not a
hair of his head shall fall to the
ground.” David.
Equalization of Taxation.
Suggestions to Which the Attention
of Georgia Legislators is Espe
cially Invited.
Rome Courier.
Opposition to unequal taxation was
one of the chief grievances of which
our revolutionary ancestors complained.
But, deep-rooted as the sentiment then
was in the American people, we have
never yet, in Georgia at least, adopted
a system of State taxation that makes
this burden equal and fair. We virtu
ally leave to each property-owner the
fixing of the amount of his own taxes,
for it is seldom that ever the most ap -
parent under-valuation is corrected.
The consequence is that the most hon
est and upright of the tax-pavers have
to pay for the penuriousness or dishon
esty of others, for as the general assess
ment or rate of taxation has to be
graduated according to the total amount
of property returned, it follows that
any undervaluation affects the whole
body of tax-payers, and most materi
ally those who give in their property
highest.
There ought to be a better system.
The valuation ought not to be left to
the variant and arbitrary dictation of
the several property owners. The
Courier has on several occasions urged
this matter upon the attention of the
Legislature, and now that that body is
about to meet again, we once more refer
to it. Other States and most of our
cities have adopted systems designed,
to correct this evil, and there would be
no difficulty in applying something
similar to the whole Stato of Georgia.
We renew the suggestion heretofore
made, that County Tax Commission
ers, or Boards of Equalization, to con
sist say of three members, should be
elected by the people of each county to
appraise the value of all realty in their
respective counties. These Commis
sioners might be elected every four or
six years, at our regular State elec
tions, and their duties prescribed by
legislative enactment. They should
visit the various farms in the county
for which they are elected, examine the
lands, improvements and advantages,
and place upon them, under oath, such
valuation as they may agree upon; and
the valuation should not be on the
basis of ready cash, or what the prop
erty might bring if sold at auction for
all cash down, as many owners estimate
in giving in their returns, but it should
be a valuation based upon the com
mon mode of selling real estate —that
is, one-third cash, and one-third in one
and two years each. The valuations
thus determined should be recorded in
a book kept for the purpose, filed with
the Ordinary or Board of Commission
ers of Roads and Revenue, and it should
stand as the appraisement during the
term for which the Commissioners are
elected. A report of the valuation
thus made should be transmitted to the
Comptroller General, and any glaring
error in the common rate of valuation
for any county should be subject to his
correction. This would make the
County Commissioners the judges of
the several pieces of property in their
respective counties, and the Comptroller
General the supervisor of the general
county returns. Of course, there ought
to be provision made for revision by the
County Commis ioners after they have
made their appraisement, at which
each property owner feeling himself
over-taxed shall have a hearing. Theie
ought also to be provision for adjust
ing the valuation to any casualties that
may occur during the term of the ap
praisement, such as loss by fire or
flood, or additions of value in case of
material improvements.
As we have said, other States,
whose systems we need not particular
ize now, have adopted methods of equal
izing taxation somewhat similar to
that recommended. We may mention
the States of Vermont, Massachusetts,
Ohio and Maryland. Alabama has
also a better system for correcting un
dervaluations than Georgia has. Our
legislators could not give their atten
tion to any part of the State’s economy
that more needs reform than this mat
ter of equality of taxation. Judicious
legislation on the subject will not only
distribute the burden of taxation more
equally, but it will either largely in
crease the revenues of the State and
counties, or result in a material reduc
tion of the general rate of taxation.
We trust that the approaching session
will not bo permitted to come to a close
until such legislation is enacted.
Perry Home Journal: Those of
our friends who shipped Irish potatoes
from Perry this season have gained
more experience than money. In fact
the cash returns in many cases have
failed to pay for the barrels, or crates,
in which the potatoes were shipped.
A combination of causes, small pota
toes, mixed sizes, and high freight,
produced this result. From the pres
ent outlook Irish potato culture will
be indulged in to a very limited extent
in and around Perry next year. It has
been fully demonstrated here that ex
ceeding care and diligence is necessary
to succeed in truck farming.

AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaint* .are so insidious in theii
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifled with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
“In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. I tried Ayer’s Cherry Pec
toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perma
nent cure was effected. 1 am now 62 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral saved me.
Horace Ka iuurotiier.”
Kockinglmin, Vt., July 15, 1882.
Croup.— A Mother’s Tribute.
“ While in the country last winter my little
hoy, three years old, was taken ill with croup;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of aykk’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
Avas tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs.’ Emma (ledney.”-
159 West 128th St., New York, May 16, 1882.
“1 have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
in my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and cclds we have ever
tried. /N.J. Crane.”
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882.
“ I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis,
and after trying many remedies with no suc
cess, 1 avus cured by the use of Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral. Joseph Walden.”
Byhalia, Miss., April 5,1882.
“I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral, believing as I do that
hut for its use 1 should long since have died
from lung troubles T\ Bkagdon.”
Palestine, Texas, April 22, 1882.
No ease of an affection of the throat or
lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved
by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and it will always cure when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.
