HOUSTON TAXABLE PROPERTY.
The tax digest of Houston coun
ty for 1892 has been completed .fit
triplica teby Mr; W. D; Groom for
Tax Receiver Anderson. One book
has been forwarded to the Comp
trailer General of the state, one is
in the hands of Tax Collector
Rentz, and the other is in the Or
dinary’s office, subject to the in
spection of any one who desires to
examine it
Tim total returns of property of
all kinds show a total of §3,096,-
926, an increase of §120,877 over
the returns of 189L
Of the total returns, the valua
tion of all the property owned by
white people aggregates 82,885,693,
an increase of §257,945.
The total returns of property
owned by colored people amounts
to §211,231, a decrease of §36,857
from the returns of 189L
The total returns of polls aggre
gate 3,224,—1,019 white and 2,205
colored
The number of acres of land re
turned aggregate, including wild
lands, 367,886,—total value §4-
759,551.
The total numner of acres owned
by whites aggregate in value, not
including wild lands and default
ers, §1,599,929; owned by colored
people, §63,946.
Total value of money, notes, etc.,
returned. 8264995-
Total value of horses, mules,
stock, etc., §334158.
Rank shares, §74500.
Merchandise, §98,969.
City property, $400.9AL.
Plantation tools, §27,610.
The grand total of all the prop
erty, including defaulters and wild
lands, sums up §3,312,747, making
an increase of §293,661 over the
valuation shown on the digest of
189L
The county tar rate was assess
ed by the county commissioners
last Thursday, as shown by the
minutes of the commissioners’
court. The commissioners assess
ed on the grand total, not includ
ing the defaulters and wild lands.
The reason for this is the uncer
tainly of collecting the tax on de
faulters and wild lands. A certain
amount will be needed, and no
great risks must be taken. If the
tax on wild lands and defaulters
should be collected, that much
more will be on hand, and an op
portunity for a reduction in the
rate next year will be at hand.
The rate this year is £ of a mill
less than last year, or 25 cents on
every §1,000 of property.
The total increase in the valua
tion of property is eommendahle,
and is lilcely due to the equalizers.
The decrease in the valuation of
property owned by colored people,
is mainly in farm stock and uten
sils, attributable to the fact that
many .vho controlled mules and
were tenants last year, are not in
the business this year.
ITEMIZED LOCALISMS.
—Col. Peek, the third party can
didate for governor of Georgia, is
advertised, in the Southern Alli
ance Farmer, to deliver a political
address at Perry next Tcesday,the
30th of August. The local commit
tee announces that Peek will be at
Heech Haven and Powersville, in
stead of Perry.
—Mrs. E. S. Reed, postmistress
at Perry, has gone to Gainesville,
where she will spend a month for
the benefit of her health. Miss
Jane Thigpen will have charge of
the office, assisted by Miss Maggie
G’Nann, during the absence of
Mrs. Reed.
—A democratic league was or
ganized at Fort Yalley last Mon
day night. We think every dis
trict in the county should be or
ganized, but at Perry there are
some who think differently,—hence
no action.
—The demand in Houston, town
and country, for com, meal, oats,
rye, peas, potatoes, syrnp, hay,
meat, lard, horses and.mules should
be fully supplied from Houston
farms. Were this, done, the buy
ers would be better satisfied than
now, aud the farmers would have
less occasion to borrow money and
grumble about nard times.
—The jury commissioners of the
county were at work at the court
house last Monday, revising the
jury lists. The following commis
sioners were present, G. M.Eea-

HOW ABOUT IT V
It is a notewoi thy fact that dur
ing thelast two or three- years the:
tenant system of forming has not
Hfeen profitable in Honston county,
either to the tenants or the land
lords. Just how or why the sys
tem has not yielded the hoped for
profits, we are unable to say, hut
it is a selfrevident fact, neverthe
less. Last year the collapse of
hundreds of negro tenants gave the
sheriff and the courts much work,
and the factors and landlords were
the greatest losers.
This week a fanner told us that
not one out of ten negro tenants
will be able to pay the expense of
cultivating the crops that are-un
gathered in the fields.
It is a further fact that an obser
vant maa can ride through Hous
ton county, and unassisted point
out the crops of the negro tenants.
The distinguishing feature of these
crops is evidence of unthrift and
lack of cultivation that stands out
in bold relief in all the fields cul
tivated by the tenants—with very
few exceptions.
The tenant system being a fail
ure, unprofitable alike to tenant
and landlord, a continuance of the
system would be utter folly.
It is not only the laek of direct
profit, but such management re
sults in positive and permanent in-,
jury to the property of the land
lord. Not only is the fertility of
the soil decreased, but the proper
ty in every detail suffers from neg
lect.
Reason and self-interest demand
a change, but only the lond owners
themselves can determine what the
change shall be, or how it shall be
made.
The sale of small farms to relia
ble men on reasonable terms might
solve the problem.
How about it?
Sunday School Convention.
The annual convention of the
Houston County Sunday School
Association was held afc Perry, Ga.,
August ibtfa, 1892. The conven
tion was hailed to order- by Yice
President A. G. Riley, in the ab- Martin, J. D. Tharp,
W. T. HOLMES.
Not Enough Interest Manifested.
The Houston County Sunday
School Association does not re
ceive that attention that is neces
sary to success. There are nine
teen Sunday schools in the county,
yet only five Superintendents at
tended the convention held in Per
ry last Friday,and from the twelve
schools not personally represented
there were only two written re
ports.
From Byron, Hayneville and
Myrtle there were no representa
tives in the meeting,and from Fort
Yalley there were only two people,
President Gray and Mr. Herman
Harris.
The reports from several of the
schools were full and gratifying,
but from others there was nothing
to indicate their condition. The
Sunday schools of the county
should have on their rolls at leas: 1 .
L000 pupils, and 75 or 100 officers
and teachers. If these would man
ifest an active interest in the Asso
ciation, great good for the cause
would surely be accomplished.
This lack of interest iB not
chargable entirely to the officers
of the Association, but the fault
rests mainly with the officers and
teachers of the several scheols.
Now,let these officers and teach
ers determine that there shall be a
change, and the next meeting will
contain delegates and comprehen
sive reports from every school in
the county. Such a meeting would
be interesting to all attendants, the
programme would be entertaining,
and the Sunday school cause would
receive such an impetus that the
Sunday school membership would
be largely increased in a short
while.
The Honston Sunday School
Association should be made to ful
fill its mission, or it should be
abandoned.
Entertainment at the Court House.
At about 8:30 o’clock Tuesday
evening a goodly number of Per
ry’s appreciative citizens were as
sembled in the court house to take
in Prof. Euans’ entertainment in
elocution. In as much as the pro
ceeds of the entertainment were
for a benevolent purpose, it does
seem that there should have bean
a full house, but those who did at
tend seemed to be pleased and got
the full worth of their money.
Prof. E. is do mean charactercur-
ist; his delineations, for one not in
regular and constant practice, were
indeed good; compassing the seri
ous, the pathetic, the humorous
and laughable. Altogether, the
evening was pleasantly, and we
trust, profitably spent. Thanks to
the Professor for his willingness
to give us this pleasant entertain
ment. X.

Eelieconuee Camp Meeting.
The regular annual convocation
at this campground began on last
Friday night, and was well attend
ed up to the time of your corres
pondents departure.
Quite a large number of clerical
gentlemen were on hand, dividing
the Word among the multitude.
The following names can now be
recalled: Dr. J. 0. A. Clark, who
was commander-in-chief; with his
able corps of lieutenants, together
with many visiting brethren, viz.
Dr. J. P. McFerrin, Mulberry St,
Macon, Dr. J. O. A Cook, of Fort
Yalley, Evangelist J. B. Culpep
per, Revs. J. W. Simmons, T. J.
Euans, of Florida, D. D. Bateman,'
of Cairo, Strong, of Byron, Wray,
of Yineville, Dowell, of Perry,
Reed, of Marshallville, Nease, of
Snow, Answorth, of Macon.
The preaching was earnest,
pointed and scriptural. Rev. J. B.
Culpepper delivered two of his
characteristic discourses, one on
Sunday afternoon,subject, Temper
ance, in which he gave his usual
vehement anathamas against liquor
selling and liquor drinking, with
the long train of concomitant vices.
These he handled with gloves off.
On Monday his theme was Homes,
and in this talk he portrayed oh the
one hand the beauties of a well
regulated household, and on the
other, the short comings and fail
ures of those who have little or no
home discipline. In these two dis
courses he plowed deep and close,
indeed, he plowed up no little of
the cotton that stood in the mid
dle of the row. So far as I know
these two sermons were the only
ones that drew forth any severe
criticisms or comments, hut we all
know that when caostic is applied
to a raw sore it hurts and makes
one wince and. writhe.
The crowd on Sunday was con
siderable, reaching several thou

Present and presiding, J- D.
J. H. Grace
and Q.. ML Houser-
The object of the abjonmed term
was to 'receive and examine the
tax digests of: the county for the
present year, and to levy, a county
tax for the same.
The tax digests were presented
to the board by W. D. Groom, for
Tax Receiver Anderson, and were
examined, approved and accepted
by the court
The court proceeded to levy a
tax for county purposes’ for the
present year.
The tax digests show the aggre
gate value of the taxable property
of Houston county, for the present
year (leaving off defaulters and
wild land tax) to be §3,096,926,
which is the proper amountto levy
the tax for county purposes upon
It is therefore ordered and ad
judged by the court that a tax of
three and three-fonrths tenths or
one per cent, be levied on the aggre-
gatevalue of the taxable property of
Houston county for the present
year as stated above, which is for
all county purposes.
The county levies only for four
funds, towit: County, Jury, Pau
per and Bridge funds.
The county fund includes the
County Judge’s salary and all else
excepting the jury, pauper and
bridge funds proper.
The levy of three and three-fourths
tenths of one per cent, on §3,096,-
926 will make for county purposes
814613.47.
Forty percent for County Fund,
Twenty .five per cent for Jury Fund.
Fifteen per cent for Pauper Fund,
Twenty per cent for Bridge Fund,

—The cotton seasou is at hand,
and the services of warehousemen
will be in constant demand the re
mainder of this year. Mr. Elliott
Estes is at the warehouse formerly

ronage of Honston farmers. He
knows the cotton business thor
oughly, and will serve the. best in
terests of his patrons at all times.
Best prices will be secured, at the

A P. Jones, formerly of Houston,
is with Mr. Estes, and will be glad
to see and serve his friends. See

—Mr. John H. Riley, who is
farming on Ross Hill, brought to
this office last Saturday five ears
of corn that are the best we ever
saw grown on unmanured land.
The ears average more than eight
inches in length, and about 825
grains to the ear. The yield will
be fully 15 bushels per acre.
—Usually in Houston a good
crop of cotton is certain if a weed
over knee high can be secured, but
this year the large weed- has been
secured, where the cultivation-has
been sufficient, but the yield of
cotton will not be in aeeord with
the size of the weed. Wet weather
is blamed for the deficit.

BYTAE JUDGE.
Eugenia Bridger, of Gor- i
don, is visiting the family her;
brother, Dr. Bridger- j
Migg Mary Howard Green, of
Eort Yalley, is visiting relatives
around Dennard and Heard.
Miss Pearlie Dixon will attend
school at Perry this term.
Union academy has been com
pleted, and the exercises will be
commenced at an early day.
Mr. Y. E. Heard brought to our
market on last Saturday the two
first bales of cotton of the presen t
crop, they averaged 540 pounds.
This is five days later than the first
bale was received here last year,
which was sent in by J. D. Taylor,"
from Mr. E. L. Dennard’s Bowdrie
place farm, on the 15th.
Just now, when -one half of the
country has gone to the devil and
the other half hunting the nearest
route, it would be interesting to
have some one who knows, to tell
us the way out of the wilderness.
Every one has his pet theory as
to the cause of the trouble aud the
remedy. One says it is the tariff,
another says the all cotton mania,
still another that there is not mon
ey enough in circulation to meet
the demands of trade. While all
three may have an influence iii
making tight times; I believe the
real trouble lies at the door of the
farmer. If they will quit howling
for cheap money aud go to work,
economize and live within their
income, even if they have to go
hungry and half naked to do it, it
won’t be but a little while before
money will come oat from its hid
ing place. Money is scarry, and I
don’t wonder at it The farmer
makes a big crop of cotton at a big
expense, and.is obliged to take just
what is offered him, while on the
other hand if he would make his
meat and grain, he could use it
whether he could sell at a profit or
not.

To Our Friends and Patrons.
Another cotton season is upon
us, and we are here at our former
place of business, .vith better fa

ever before.
We have led in the cotton ware
house business for the past two

we hope to do it again.
We have no surplus labor, but
“promptness” is our watchword,
and our fair and impartial way of
doing business will be vouched for
by every man with whom we have

Our market will be stronger this
season than it has been for many
years, in consequence of other and
strong buyers being added to our

Another favorable indication for
this market is that Macon’s three
