TURIN.
We had the pleasure of meeting and
worshiping with the good people of
Ebenezer church on Saturday and Sun
day last. This is one of the oldest Rap-
list churches in this section of the
State. In its early days the following
well-knowrfpeople were members, viz:
Kev. Humphrey Posey and wife, Col.
Elijah Martin and wife, Hon. Antony
North and wife, .lames and Middleton
Brown and their wives, Harry Stokes
and wile, R. D. Cole, sr., and wife,
and many other saintly men and wo
men whose names are not now recalled.
Deacon J. D. Arnold, J. S. Hammock
and It. R. Thompson are now the "pil
lars of the church,” their brethren say.
It will be recalled that Mrs. Posey be
queathed to Mercer University the sum
of $10,000, the interest upon which is
applied to the education of young men
for the ministry. It is a shame upon
the Raptist brotherhood of Georgia that
the graves of this noble woman and her
revered husband are in such a neglect
ed state. They are overgrown with
weeds and briars, and are enclosed by
a crude wall of rock. The Raptists of
Georgia should erect a befitting monu
ment to this good woman, who did so
much to put Mercer University in the
front rank with other leading denomi
national colleges of the South. We
heard one man say that he would head
a subscription list for this object with
a liberal contribution. Who will be the
next to aid in this most worthy under
taking?
While in the Ebenezer neighborhood
we shared the hospitality of Mr. and
Mrs. .1. D. Arnold, and it is needless to
add that we fared sumptuously, for the
doors of this hospitable home are al
ways open to rich and poor alike. On
Sunday we enjoyed a good dinner with
Rro. Ren Weldon. Near the "hurch for
whites is Ebenezer Colored Raptist
church, with a membership numbering
over a thousand. They have a large
church building, well-finshed inside and
out, and as up-to-date in appearance as
any country church in the county. It
is a credit to the race.
Some of our farmers are over-cropped
with grass. Many acres already planted
have been "turned out,” and some far
mers are plowing up their grassy cot
ton and sowing the land in peas. The
coming cotton crop will be an expen
sive one, and if the producer doesn
get a good price next fall he will find
it a hard matter to make ends meet.
Heavy rains this week have flooded the
lands and given grass the right-of-way,
much to the distress of our already
badly-worried farmers.

Sees Mother Grow Young.
"It would be hard to overstate the
wonderful change in my mother since
she began to use Electric Bitters,”
writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrick of Dan-
forth, Me. “Although past 70 she
seems really to be growing young again.
She suffered untold misery from dys
pepsia for 20 years. At last she could
neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors
gave her up and all remedies failed till |
Electric Bitters worked such wonders
for her health.” They invigorate all
vital organs, cure Liver and Kidney
troubles, induce sleep, impart strength
and appetite. Only 50c. at all druggists.
Our System of Taxation.
West Point Herald.
In a recent interview Attorney-General
Hart had quite a bit to say concerning
the State’s present system of taxation;
that it is a “hundred years old,” and
consists of nothing more than "passing
the hat for contributions”—some con
tributing according to law, others less,
and some not at all. He calls attention
to the fact that the brunt of the bur
den of supporting the State govern
ment now rests upon those who desire
to comply strictly with the law, and
that they have to suffer for the wrongs
of those who misrepresent the value of
their property. As a remedy for these
evils. Judge Hart suggests a State board
of equalizers and a board of assessors
in each county. We are in full sympathy
with the Attorney-General in his desire
for an equitable system of taxation, but
would not his remedy be worse than the
evils complained of? We believe that
the evils of the present system result
largely from the injustice of the taxa
tion laws now in effect. We wish to
call attention especially, in this connec
tion, to the double taxation which prop
erty is frequently made to hear by
reason of the existing laws. For in
stance, when a person buys a piece of
property from another on credit, the
purchaser must give some security for
the debt; so he delivers his note to the
person from whom he is buying the
property. The purchaser must pay tax
on the property; the person holding the
note must pay tax on it—which is equiv
alent to double taxation on the prop
erty. It seems to us that such a system
is unjust, and that the Legislature should
remedy it as soon as possible. This is
unquestionably one of the reasons why
full valuation is not returned in many
cases;—the people are simply trying
to dodge double taxation.
