CARRIE A. PICKENS publication. Thus a large amount of money is put into the county treasury and the cost of publication saved. The law requiring the publication of the delinquent tax list was repealed some year ago but was again put on the statute books through the protest of taxpayers whose property had been sold without their knowledge, so the 'post eard system was not effective even to the extent of reaching those who were delinquent.
