Remarkable Showing Will be Made in
Tax Receiver Cox's Rooks.
Tax Receiver J. W. Cox is making up
his books and in all probability will
complete them today. Seven districts
have been footed up, Wilson’s, Flowery
Branch, Roberts’, Friendship, Clinch-
em, Morgan’s and Candler, and these
show a gain over last year of $44,776,
an average gain per district of $6,397.
There are seventeen districts in the
county outside of Gainesville district,
and the tax receiver states that it can
be put down as a certainty that the re
maining ten districts will foot up a gain
of this much. Putting it on this basis
the gain in the remaining districts of
the county will he 363,970 which, added
to the seven districts already footed up,
amounting to $44,776, makes $108,746.
The Gainesville district has not been
footed up but Mr. Cox states that it
will show a gain of over $100,000. • This
added to the seventeen country dis
tricts makes a total gain of $208,746.
The above amounts are only the tax
returns of the white people of the coun
ty, and to this amount must he added
the tax returns of the negroes, which
show an increase over last year of
$5,099. This makes the total increased
valuation $213,845.
. Of course these figures may vary a
little, but it is a fair estimate to gay
the total valuation wiff be in the‘neigh
borhood of $213,845. At least $100,00 of
the above increase is directly traceable
to the Pacolet mill and the increase in'
value of city property. The remainder,
averaging nearly $7,000 in each country
district, shows how improvements are
being made and property is enhancing
in value.
All in all it shows that Hall county
is growing, and is getting richer each
year. .. .. •
Mr. Jno. A. Smith, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, was
seen yesterday afternoon and shown
the figures obtained from the tax re
ceiver. He stated that he was very
much gratified at the great increase
and that it meant that the tax rate
would he decreased 10 cents at least
on the .hundred. This of course, is
dependent upon the action of the
state, hut it is hardly probable that
the state rate vrill he increased. The
board will meet probably next week
duBIGNON OyT OF IT.
Hon. Fleming G. duBignon has
announced that he is out of the
race for governor, or, rather, he
has said that he will not be a can
didate. He has reached this de
termination because, of Jiis' ill
health. His retirement has caused
much discussion in political cir
cles and it is now believed that the
race will be between Attorney Gen
eral Joe M. Terrell, Railroad Coip-
missioner J. Pope Brown and Hon.
Dupont Guerry. Ot course, other
names are mentioned io this con
nection, but the above are the on
ly avowed candinates. Of these,
it appears that the Hon. Joe Ter
rell is at present tlie strongest, as
many say he has profited most by
the withdrawal of Mr. duBignon,
who would have been a formidable
candidate, he having the backing
qf south Georgia, as well as many
of the strongest influences of the
northern part of the state. Messrs.
Brown and Guerry favor state pro
hibition, while Mr. Terrell is a lo-
cal optionist, and altogether a
conservative man Upon all lines*
Then, too, Mr. Terrell made a
friend of all the school teachers
in the recent fight brought, on by
State Treasurer Park, and, all in
all, he appears tor be the strongest
of the trio. The primary, howev
er, does not occur until next year,
and no one can fortell what will
happen between now and then.
To say the least of it, the situa
tion is an interesting,' one, and
promises to be more so before the
primary takes place.

80 cents. Indications, are that the rate
will be decreased each year now, and
it is no idle dream to think of paying
60 cents taxes in Hall county by 1903
or 1904.
With state and county taxes reduced
10 per cent, and city taxes reduced 20
or 25 per cent, the people will feel bet

to manufacturing and other enterprises
is very great.
Seven hundred thou

to the association, are striking, not
for shorter hours, but for the rec
ognition of their union. What the
result will be no one can foretell,
but tbe sympathies of all working
