Apple! without the gripe. Po-Do-Lax

of bile. Bile is Nature's antiseptic in

TURIN.
A friend who attended the Fayette
County Singing Convention at Nyson
on Sunday last says the crowd was es
timated at two thousand. The music
was excellent, perfect order prevailed,
and there was an abundance of good
things to eat. We are glad to see our
people interested in music—especially
young people. It is not only refining in
its influence, but uplifting spiritually.
The rains this week interfered with
the harvesting of the grain crop, and
as a consequence considerable damage
may result. In fact, farm work has
been at a standstill for several days.
Grass is running away with the crops,
and much work will be required to save
them.
Quite a number of landowners are
complaining at the action of the tax
equalizers in raising their returns of
landed property. The average land of
the county, without the use of commer
cial fertilizers, will not produce more
than 300 to 600 lbs. of seed cotton per
acre, from five to ten bushels of corn,
and about the same yield of oats and
wheat. Therefore, it appears that the
farmer is paying a premium on the
amount of fertilizers used instead of a
naturally enhanced value of his land.
The truth iB, if the Legislature would
be less reckless in appropriating the
people’s money there would be no need
of tax assessors to raise by forced lev
ies extravagant sums to support the
State government. Just at this time
the people are depressed and hard put
to it to get along, and to increase their
tax assessments now adds seriously to
their already heavy burdens. Local
taxation without representation is also
imposed in some localities, which
makes matters worse. We think it a
good time to unload Borne of the tax
burden, instead of piling it up.
