TAX STUDIES.
Offer Many Suggestions to the
ty Commissioners.
The making out of the tax list
has reached the point when ' the to
tailing of townships has begun aad
the Southerner takes advantage of
it to compare with last year.
In some respects the figures vary
little; In others the margin Is so
great as compared with last year
that the county commissioners should
get very busy and after the magnsn
imous aad considerate treatment
they gave delinquents last year
should be Impelled to make example!

up as they should.
Tarboro Township.
The Southerner takes totals leaving
the individual to the commissioner.
According to the list Inst nail of
423 persons listing their polls as
last year, there were only 418
as white gentlemen last yean The
colored polls were 396 this June aad
369 last.
But the land history is one that
deserves serious consideration. Ac
cording to the survey this township
has over 25.000 acres and not over
1,000; If that much in town lots;
yet only 19,484 acres were listed
against 20.670 last year. What has
become of that 1.000 acres? And ths
other 4.000 acres?
The value of town lots increased
last year $795,000 to $998,000; aa
increase of over $200,000.
The value of town lots owned by
colored people lncreaassd at the
same time over 9 per cent $71,47$;
last year $$7,750.
The value of land In the township
feU off from $400,490 to $196 032. Was
this land given In as town lots?
The increase in one and the de
crease In the other suggests that.
Yet the number of town lota la-
creased from 855 to only 910.
Solvent credits show aa Increase
from $158,830 to 170.600 but no ac
count Is taken of the solvent cred

list had been made out.
