Sinful Folly of Assessment
a writer, who lives tn Connecticut.
<iv«s us Mis following, which is worth
reading carefully :
Ths writer, who has paid taxes in I nion
for fifty years and has put more goou
money Into the town treasury than any
other resident now living tn town, has
been willing and glad to pay without a
murmur his just proportion to *» rd ‘ h *
common good But when he finds that
the assessment has suddenly jumped up
several thousand dollar* at 186 per acre
for sprout land, alder swamp and all. so
that be cannot possibly rent the land,
buildings and all for sufficient to pay the
taxes, may he not feel aggrived and op
pressed? It looks as though he would be
obliged to sell a portion of timber land
each year to pay taxes until the town
gets the whole of it. or some one ha*
said: ‘Ton might as well deed it all to
the town, for the town will eventually
get it by taxes if you try to bold it.’
"What encouragement does such a nar
row and shortsighted town policy give
for the development and maintenance of
such tine forests as formerly graced the
town? The writer, having always lived on
the place that he now occupiea has a few
trees left that have grown up with him
and which he has watched with a good
deal of interest, until they seem like old
friends. Now the action of the assessors,
in putting the burden of taxation 01F the
little timber land of any value remaining
tn town, virtually say to him. ‘You can
not keep these any longer. They must be
slaughtered by the lumbermen, like all
the rent. When thousands of dollars'
worth of lumber have been taken out of
town each year it is to be regretted that
the assessors. in their seal to raise the
grand list, should encourage this process
of depletion by excessive taxation of the
remainder It is a shortsighted policy and
will result tn the future impoverishment
of the town, rather than in its good.
Forestry is a subject which is attracting
great attention throughout the country,
and aa most of the land in Union is es
pecially fitted for this industry, the pol
icy of the town should be to foster tho
growth of the fine forest rather than their
destruction. '*
I am glad to copy this letter, because
these over-taxes are not confined to Con
necticut. It happens right here in Geor
gia- I know a town very well where tax
assessors have made real estate a positive
drug on the market. The taxes are In
many Instances so high that the owner is
obliged to go down in his or her pocket
to get enough outside money to pay these
outrageous tax demands. Vacant property
is taxed until the owner will be obliged to
give It to the town to relieve the weight
of the burden on themselves.
I have a three-acre farm land patch in
the suburbs that brought me only six
dollars last year as cash revenue and the
the eity does not give it one dollar and
the tax. state, county and municipal, was
&S on the thousand dollars, so that out
lying patch (of three acres) assessed wan
$506 value, when it cost the owner leas
than sllO to purchase, and since the pur
chase, several yean ago, was made, the
entire real value has been paid out. soak
ed up tn taxation.
Os course nobody will invest in such
property, because it is only game to the
tax assessors. Unless it can be traded off
in some sort of fashion, the town is oer
taln to get it at last, out of any own
er's hands.
Such sinful folly is like killing the goose
which lays the golden egg. When a town
is governed by a set of men who have
neither sympathy for tax-payers or sound
sense In promoting business prosperity.the
end of that towns is sure, either in Con
necticut or Georgia.
These bloated tax assessments are town
killers, because It has grown to be a
practice to oppress everybody, but the as
sessors themselves and their kinnery and
dependents when they get a fling at the
business That is the real hardship and
tyranny.
Unless all signs fail, there is an ap
proaching revolt certainly coming.
Forbearance ceases to be a virtue when
taxation gets to confiscating figures. With
Mate and federal governments piling on
taxation to the limit, and town taxes so
heavy that you cannot sell your real es
tate because nobody wants to buy in such
cruel municipalities, somebody is going to
rise up one of these days and lead in a
revolution against tyranny and injustice.
Connecticut can yet learn something
by visiting these parts, for there is seeth
ing Indignation in many localities against
this evil right now.
Cement a Valuable Fann Asset
In the days to come we will find more
uses for cement about farm houses than
any other locality. While it may take a
million cr more tons to flx up the Panama
canal, that is one big job while there
are thousands upon thousands of farm
homes where a few bags of cement will
give untold service and comfort to the
owners, I will copy here one of the im
provements which lie In easy reach of
any industrious farmer, taken from the
columns of the American Cultivator:
CONCRETE FLAGSTONES.
A moot satisfactory way of utilizing a
rainy day is to spend it making blocks or
slabs for a walk to house and barn. A
load or t*vo of’sharp sand and clean grav
el may be kept in the cellar of house or
barn for this purpose Tho principal ar
guments against walks is the expense, but
if the work Is done by home help and the
proportions are maintained as they should
be. a single bag of cement will make a
long strip of walk that will last for fifty
years. The blocks ought to be 2 1-2 feet
wide by 3 feet long and 3 inches thick.
It is easy to make molds to hold these
blocks if two of the side are binged so
they will open Three blocks are cast in
a mold at one time by separating the
lasers with a double thickness of news
paper. The illustration shows the side of
such a ■raid open after removing a set of
blocks. The sides of the mold are nine
inches higher than Its floor. At intervals
of three inches grooves are made to guide
the operator in filling, the top layer being
“struck" with a lath to level it. The
molds are to be left for ten days in a
damp cellar, and If necessary moistened to
insure perfect setting before the attempt
IL made to remove the blocks. One mold
full thus makes a neat walk nine feet
long. In good weather carefully stake out
the site for the walk and with a pair of
horses plow out the soil a foot deep. This
space must be filled with gravel, sand or
ashes. Whatever the material the top
layer must be fine to bed the paving block
tn. If they should settle they may be
readily raised and a sprinkling of the
same fine material sprinkled under them.
If especially handsome walks are desired,
each block as it Is cast should be sur
faced with a thin layer of cement and fine
sand half and half, while the block is still
plastic. The tools needed are a trowel
and pounder like those shown. Pounder
and mold are home. made.
In other ways, especially in forming
building blocks, cement is invaluable.
There are many advertisements of good
molds for making these blocks. It would |
seem that Providence has opened away
to build reasonably after the timber
supply of the country is gone or short
ened.
A Kind Remembrance
I have been sick with grip, under the
care of the doctor, and such things will
pull us down, no matter how herole or de
termined we may be in resistance.
Everybody who ever had the grip can
tell you how it works in making you
feel miserable and I felt all these things (
when the ailment had me in its close
clutch. Just about the time I had to take
my bed in spite of a struggle to keep
on foot, the expressman brought a box
to the door and in the box was the hand
somest smal dog you nearly every saw. Ho
is a beauty!
On his bright, handsome new dog collar
his name, “Ridly.” was engraved. To
that was attached a fine chain with hand
holt for keeping him in bounds until he
became used to us.
The kind donor fixed up Ridly to travel
tn style. He was equipped with a large’,
soft crimson flannel cushion, a dish to
drink from and a bag of candy and
crackers to lunch on while the train
whirled along. He looked like he enjoyed
his trip.
And when I understood fully the effort
this good Hartwell friend had made to
add to my pleasure, I thanked him by re
turn postal card, although I coughed and
sneezed all the time I was doing it. I
thank him here, too. as I am improving
in health. •
My IS-year-old grandson gets the cream
of the whole business. Ridly took to him
like a duck takes to water. You hear
them together all over the house and
outside in the yard. When the boy starts
to school the dog watches from the win
dow and when school 13 out, there is re
joicing. you may be sure.
Because Ridly was in a strange land,
the little boy put the red cushion on a
chair at the side of his low bed and the
two spend the nights in sight and hear
ing of each other. I have been too blck
to have Ridly near me much, but I havi
had much pleasure in seeing the boy and
the dog enjoy each other’s company, and
every time I look at the smart little
dog my heart is grateful to the kind
friend living in the upper Savannah river
valley, who took so much pains to make
me pleased and happy in this thoughtful
act of friendship.
Stole for Family, Will Be Pardoned
Because she stole food for her children.
Mrs. Susan Morgan will be pardoned by
the governor of Georgia.
Formal recommendation for her release
was forwarded to Governor Smith. Sat
urday morning, by the prison board. The
governor’s signature to the pardon is
looked for within a few hours. The chief
executive had already been acquainted
with the details of the unusual case and
had expressed his Intention of accepting
the favorable recommendation of the
prison board. •
Mrs. Morgan is the mother of a large
family of little children. Just before
Christmas she stole food from a store
in Savannah. Her children were hungry
at home: she was destitute; she could
find no work; and in her desperation, she
committed a crime.
Did she break a higher law? That was
the question which the prison commis
sioners found themselves facing. The
judge who sentenced the unfortunate wo
man pleaded for her pardon; the jury who
convicted her pleaded for it. She had
been sentenced to serve three months in
the Chatham county prison, and there she
has been'since. languishing, waiting, im
agining she could hear the calling voices
of her family of little ones, while kind
hearted men have worked for her re
lease.
Just a little over half of the short sen
tence has the mother served. Her com
plete pardon, when Governor Smith signs
it, will turn her back into the world
after a month and a half of prison to
face anew the fight for life and her
children.
U. D. C. at Blakely to Erect Shaft
BLAKELY. Ga, Feb. 4.—The movement
inaugurated sometime ago by the Blakely
Chapter of the U. D. C. for the erection
of a Confederate monument at this place,
culminated happily at the January meet
ing of the chapter, when a contract was
signed with the Me Neel Marble company,
of Marietta. Ga., for the erection of this
work. The design selected by the
Daughters is one of the latest and most
artistic productions of the McNeel com
[ pany, and shows a handsome granite
' shaft, 30 feet high, handsomely carved.
; with appropriate inscriptions. The mon
| ument is to be erected on the courthouse
square, near the spot where the old Con
federate flag pole still stands.
The work on the monument is being
pushed rapidly and will be completed in
time for the unveiling, which will take
i place on memorial day, with appronate
ceremonies.
Mrs. Walter Thomas, president of the
chapter, and each of the 34 members
composing it. have been tireless and en
thusiastic workers in the raising of funds
for this splendid shaft.
The officers of the chapter are as fol-
I lows:
Mrs. W’alter Thomas, president; Mrs.
I C. T. Alexander, vice president; Miss An
' nie B. Smith, recording secretary; Mrs.
W. L. McDowell, registrar; Mrs. J. E.
Martin, historian; Miss India Cook, treas
urer; Mrs. John Underwood, correspond
ing secretary.
Aged Man Who Wished to Lead Mob
COLUMBUS, Ga., Feb. S.-In a special
charge to the Muscogee county grand
jury today. Judge 8. P. Gilbert referred
i to the arrest of the old man, George B.
1 Roberts, last Saturday, who had a rope in
1 one hand, a black cap In the other, and
was offering to lead a mob to lynch a
negro in the county jail.
Judge Gilbert asked the grand jury to
indict Robert, declaring that if he should
be convicted, the court would do its duty
In the matter.
• Judge Gilbert incidentally referred to
the “question of lynching.’’ denouncing It
tn most unsparing manner. He declared
chat if a mob should undertake to take
the negro, Ernest Jones, who is under
indictment for attempted felonous asstuit
upon Miss Missouri Nolan, when he is
brought back here for trial, he, the judge,
wo- id not plead with the men composing
it. but that he would join the ranks of
the sheriff's men and unhesitatingly fire
into the violators of the law against mob
violence.
Judge Gilbert declared that he would
not countenance mob vilonce, and that,
if It is necessary to prevent it, every
militiaman in the state will be called to
service.

Boy Burns to Death in Cruel Flames
One of the most horrible and gruesome
deaths which has been recorded in Atlan
ta in years was that which carried away
little four-year-old E. D. Wood, Jr., just
before midnight Saturday, after the child,
pitiably burned, had lain for two mortal
hours of agony gasping for life, while his
mother with her arms and hands seared
by the same blaze that had killed her
youngest born, raving in a hysteria of
grief, was held in the arms of sympa
thizing neighbors and by them restrain
ed from throwing herself upon the death
bed of her bpy.
About 10 o clock, Saturday evening,
while his mother was visiting neighbors
across the street and there were no qth
ers in the house save his own little
brothers and sisters, little Eddie him
self struck the match that left him
shortly before midnight a charred, crisp
corpse.
The unfortunate little fellow was the
child of Edward D. Wood, a clerk, who
resides at 21 Dalney street, out near the
city waterworks pumping station. He
had seen his elder brothers building fires
for his mother and while she was out en
deavored to imitate them. A blaze in
the grate, however, spread to the sleeves
of his cotton dress and a moment later
he was enveloped in flames.
For a time the child instinctively fought
the Are alone, while his screaming broth
ers and sisters flew across the street to
tell the mother that little Eddie was on
fire. His mother, rushing to the rescue
of her baby, was too late to save him.
She was seriously burned about the arms
and hands as the result of her efforts.
Dr. E. C. Cartledge was Immediately
summoned, but could do nothing for the
dying child. The attention of trained
nurses also failed to avail.

Peach Crop Safe, Says Mr. Hudson
The recent cold weather that prevailed
over Georgia and was keenly felt in the
northern portion, will not damage the
peach crop, according to reports received
by State Commissioner of Agriuculture
Thomas G. Hudson.
“The premature buds that were slight
ly damaged did not include one per cent
of the entire crop, and the blossoms tfiat
were hurt were those which would have
been a burden to the trees and would
naturally have fallen off when the peach
es fohned,” says the state commissioner.
“The cold helped the crop more than
anything else could have done as it has
prevented more serious damage which
would have followed if the weather had
contiued warm and colder weather fol
lowed later.”

dead, one missing, and several hurt, all
colored, many farm houses destroyed,
a number of mules and horses killed and
property loss running into the thousands.
In brief, is the story of havoc wrought
by a cyclone in Stewart county at and
near Richland, at 9 o’clock Friday night,
according to a special received by th«
Enquirer Sun tonight from Richland.
The path of the storm was a half mile
w?Be and everything was swept clean,
houses and trees and all being blown
away.
On the Kimbrough place, near Rich
land. Phllmore Moses, colored, and two
children were killed outright and one
other child is still missing, supposed to
have been blown away.
On A. H. Prather’s place, one of the

Extra Session to Act on Wire Shaft
Miss Alice Baxter, president of the
Georgia division. United Daughters of
the Confederacy, has called an extra ses
sion of the division to meet here oh
March 11.
The purpose of the meeting is to act on
I the much discussed ’ocation of the Wirz
monument, and it was called in response
to petitions from the executive board and
from two-thirds of the chapters of the
state.
The history’ of th® Wifk monument has
been an exciting one. Several years ago
the ladies decided to erect a monument
to this martyr of the Confederacy. The
money was raised, ana it wasqjlanned to
erect the shaft at Andersonville.
A member of the inscription committee,
however, put an inscription on it that
was not acceptable to the daughters, and
Andersonville was abandoned. There then
came blds from Macon and Americus.
These two cites worked hard to get the
monument at the Savannah convention,
but at the critical stage a member
thought of Richmond, and wired that
eity. The mayor replied that Rich
mond would be glad to get the shaft.
A vote was taken, and Richmond was
selected.
This, however, did not meet the ap
proval of the daughters, and Mrs. Wal
ter D. Lamar, of Macon, wrote all the
chapters asking them to have the matter
reopened. This resulted in the meeting
just called by Miss Baxter.
