FARMERS ARE KICKING LIVELY
At Unjust Law Placing a Tax Oh
* ■ Guano.
The; farmers of Sumter county, aa in
every county in the state, are protest
ing against the new law whioh requires
them to make returns for taxation all
fertilizers in their possession on Maroh
15th, the date upon which the state
rate was assessed.
Every bag of gnano held by a farmer
on that day is subject to taxation, jnst
ns is his land, his males and other
property.
In several counties the farmers have
united to resist this law, notably in
Lanrens, where a pnblio meeting to
that end was held recently. The law
was enacted by the last legislature,
whioh defined gnano as “merchandise”
and subject to taxation.
Fertilizers put in the ground prior
to that date or purohased since March
15th, are not taxable, but, under the
new law, all held by farmers on that
date mast'be taxed.
