J. W. ANDERSON.
Ivbieriptien One Dollar a Tear In Advance.
A First CUm Paper, entered ss and Class mail
matter at Covington Post Office.
Covington, Ga., Nov. 15, 1898.
TAX REFORM IS THE CRY.
Tax reform is the cry in Georgia.
The Star started the cry early
in September, when the state tax
rate for this year was first levied,
and now the legislature has taken
the matter in hand.
Something must be done, to
give the people relief, or they can¬
not stand the burden.
It is not expected that the rate
fixed for this year can be reduced,
but it can and must be kept from
getting any higher for next year.
We published the rate for each
year for the past 12 years, and
showed that the state tax rate had
been increased two hundred and
fifty per cent during that short pe¬
riod.
This fearfully rapid increase in
the rate of our taxation must be
stopped, or our people cannot pay
their taxes in the future, especially
if the price of cotton remains at its
present figures.
The lault lies in the appropria¬
tions made by the legislature du¬
ring the period above mentioned.
If these appropriations are contin¬
ued at their present figures, then
there is no hope for relief from our
burdensome taxation.
It is a serious problem our pres¬
ent legislators have to solve, but
they must solve it, and solve it
quickly and effectively.
The report of the state
shows there is a deficit of
000, which must be provided
ways in which it can be done, and
both are very unpopular measures
—with the politicians!
One of these is to increase our
present rate of taxation, and the
other is to reduce the public school
and pension appropriations!
Which would you prefer they
would do ?
If left to the people of the state,
they would say reduce the appro¬
priations, and likewise the state
tax rate.
We do not want the appropria¬
tions for schools and pensions re¬
duced, neither do we want our
taxes increased. But, one or the
other must be done, and we believe
it is best to reduce the appropria¬
tions. V
When the legislature has settled
the question of tax reform, has ac
c-pted the soldiers’ home, and
started the ball to rolling for a gen¬
eral curtailment of expenses all
along the line, it can then adjourn,
with the applaudits ol the people all
over the state: i « Well done, good
and faithful servants ; come home,
and enjoy the fruits of your patri¬
otic action in adjourning before
your 50 days had half expired !”
But will the legislature do this ?
We fear not!
The annual report of the Mont
de Piete municipal pawnshops of
Paris shows a profit of 54,000
francs after paying out (inclusive
of expenses) nearly 105,000,000
francs. It is so managed as to
make as little profit as possible out
of the people, and has been in ex¬
istence for 120 years.

The election passed off all right.
North Carolina has redeemed
hersell.
The colored troops did not rally
at the polls on Tuesday.
The democrats made gains every¬
where, in Tuesday’s election.
There were hot times in the old
town of Wilmington, N. C., on
Wednesday—after the election.
Mr W. A. Holland, who lives
near Dublin, has one of the forefeet
of a pig which died on his place,
and the foot is a curiosity. It has
six toes, five of which are w r ell de¬
veloped and one rather small. One
of the toes resembles the big toe of
a human being and the foot looks
much like that of a man. Mr.
Holland has no theory to offer for
the freak.
The result of Tuesday’s election
in North Carolina wall be to set the
negro back in politics in the south
at least a quarter of a century, even
if he ever catches up again. His
incapacity to hold office and govern,
brought on the fight which has re¬
sulted in his complete overthrow.
He had just as well understand
now that he cannot dominate the
white people of this country.
North Carolina Redeemed.
The result of the election in
North Carolina, on Tuesday, was
They carried everything, elect¬
ing a solid delegation to congress,
except in one district, and they
have both houses of the general
assembly.
The election passed off quietly
all over the state, although it had
been one of the most heated cam
paigns ever witnessed in the state.
In Wilmington, the day after the
election, a riot occurred, in which
eight or ten negroes were killed, and
several whites seriously wounded.
The negro printing office was de¬
stroyed, and the building burned.
A new city government has been
organized and everything is quiet
once more. The white people are
in full possession ot the city, and
no further trouble is anticipated.
It lias been a glorious revolution
in politics.
