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.
