Time for Paying Taxes
The time for paying taxes for
tho past year was out on tho first
day of this January. At that
time according to the laws of tho
state a ponai ty of one percent was
imposed on all who remained un
paid. On tho first of February a
penalty of two percent was impos
ed and still many remain unpaid.
The penalty increases every month
and the longer one waits the more
the taxes will bo.
lt was stated in the Treasurer's
fb. oiUcc thc other day that a number
had as yet neglected to pay their
taxes. This is accounted for in
various ways, One reason given
is that several people, notably tho
cotton holders, wanted to hold
theil1 crops and they figured that it
V^?/' would be Cheaper to pay this pen
alty than borrow money. Anoth
er, ol' course, is that the matter
has just slipped the attention of
some ol' them, while others still
have simply not paid because they
were not minded to.
In the oilico ol* the county audit
or returns are being made for
this coming year. I t is stated that
the returns are being made slowly
and that people are taking their
own time ami consulting their own
pleasure. It is well to recall that
the 50 per cent penalty goes on
after the 20th February. That is
if a man has $100 worth of pro
perty ard neglects to make his re
turns until after the 20th of this
month then lie will be taxed on
Slot) worth of property, This is
the fifty percent penalty and how
it works.
In talking over the matter it was
learned that the people of Ben
nottsvillo are more behind in mak
ing their returns than any other
place in the county. They are be
hind in making their returns and
behind in paying their taxes, lt
is not known what the cause is un
less it is the spirit of indifference.
It may bo that people feel that
they aro right here on the spot and
can make their returns any day.
The only trouble is that tho clay
which they choose might bo after
thc 20th of this month and then
the trouble will come.

of the lire tho library contained
nearly 1)00 books, among them
some valuable Art Folios and old
