The rate of Taxes assessed in this County are as follows,

Poll Tax on all Males above the age of 16, for the State, 14 cts
Poll Tax on all Males above the age of 16, for the County 14 cts
Tax on Real Estate, on each 100 dollars, 14 cts
Tax on Personal Property on each 100 dollars, 14 cts,

This applies to both Colored & White
