An exemption of $300 will be allowed on household gopds, tools and provisions. Cotton cr other crops held for market can be listed as solvent cred its and used for exemption against debts. The law gives the supervisor and board of appraisers full power to summon witnesses cr use any other means at their command to locate hidden property and get it listed, so it will will be practically impossble for any oneto dodge. The tax rate will have to cor.12 down prliclicaily as many times as the valuation gees up, so there is n- "xr-nsc for failure to list J property at its full value.

State and county taxes in Catawba counlv for last year amounted to about $1C0,000 and if the 10 per cent is put on it will only amount to $16', 000 or less than $2 each fcr the 900 taxpayers in the county.
