the maj jOrity OF the inhabitants live from
the taxes collected from Eastern owners.
While all OF the lands are taxed sp-
prOximRtely alike, a considerable portion
Of the taxes levied are not paid. Tax
sale certificates are purchased by the
county, which gives the county NO
money, and hence the necessity each
year to increase the amount Of taxes;
and the annual taxes now, on q tract OF
vacant, dry prairie Of 100 acres, which
does not produce a cent Of revenue,
range from S15 to $35 each year. Many
persons ignorant Of the true character
of their lands, who have paid taxes to
the present time, are now making in
vestigation and learning the situation,
have determined to pay no more taxes
and TO simply abandon the land"
PRoPosEs TO RAISE ALFALFA.
This circular then proceeds to tell the
advantages that may be derived by CON
aOlidsting the ownership Of these lands
that they may be utilizsd for grazing
purposes and the bottom lands for rails
ing alfalfa by the use Of an extensive
system OF irrigation. After the picture
has been graphically drawn showing the
utter worthlessness of western Kansas
lands unless owned in immense tracts,
this investment company tells Of the or.
gsnizstion of q big company with q
capital stock of million dollars, pro-
posing to buy up ell western Kansas
lands possible for this purpose and pro-
Ceeds to offer stock in this company to
the amount Of from $500 to $500 for
each quarter ssction, according to loCR-
tion. This is the Kansas Alfalfa and
Improvement company.
The prospectus Of this big company
announces the fact that it proposes to
issue 6rst mortgage bonds on all the
land it acquires to the amount Of "a per
acre, or q sum largely in excess Of the
amount the investment company pro
poses to pay for the land in stock. 1t is
proposed to secure in this way 100000
acres. In the highly Colored prospectus
OF the 5 million. dollar company another
tale Of the possibilities Of western Kan
sas is told. It tells of the immense
profits to be derived from the raising OF
alfalfa, in which business the company
intends to engage extensively. The fol-
lowing is from the report Of the consult

THE DIEPPE HARBoR.

Written for the Light.
The original port Of DieppC was
forward by the outlet of river Au-
CUES and Bethume, whose depth
was maintained by the tidal
waters. The shingle borne about
eastward by the tidal current
caused by the prevalent westerly
winds continually blocked up the
port and down the channel toward
the East a ne Eastern channel
was made in the 18th century. A
large portion Of the present town
now stands on made lands where
the original channel ruG. After a
time jetties were begun. but the
shingle advanced ana rounded the
ietty extension. In 1915 the con-
tract was completely choked at
that point. The jetties were formed
of rubble stone and timber till
1925 when dressed stone was ad
opted. The jetties were extended
1910 feet, but the beach has regu-
ulary kept pace with the extern
sions and ended by out breaking
the western extension. In lTl6 a
man named Lamblardie designed
a scheme for new channel point.
ing in the most favorable direction.
This was completed in 1857 the
wall being 40 feet high and 1850
in perimeter. After six years ex-
perience on the advice OF Peronet
this scheme was abandoned and
the former channel maintained.
The sandy beach Stewards OF the
line Of shingle has gentle slope,
and depth of 20 feet at low water
is reached, 1000 feet from the ex-
tremity of the west jetty, the only
impediment to shipping to the
shifting bar of shingle across the
entrance. The rise of spring tides
is 2S feet. The single travelling
along the coast passes around the
west jetty, and settling, obstructs
the channel. The supply of shing-
le in mention is estimated at from
$1,000 to 10000 cubic yards annual
ly. In 1885 the channel between
the ietties was 81 feet wide, and
the securing current lost its power
beyond. At that date a bar ex-
tended | IA feet above low water.
The sluicing current has very lit
tie effect on a channel beyond the
ietties.

its way to Atlanta for the exposition.
According to the published programme,
nine stops will be made between Phila-
delphia and Atlanta, but none of them
are in North Carolina. The bell will
stop in Lynchburg, Va, and from there
the route turns through Tennessee, max
ing stops at Bristol, Knoxville and Chat
tanooga.
Why is North Carolina thus ignored9
If there is any State in the Union that
deserves to have the famous old bell of
Independence Hall pass through and
stop within its borders, it is North Caro-
lima. 1t should not only pass through
North Carolina but it should by all
means stop at Charlotte in honor of the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independ-
ence. This great historical event,
which occurred on May goth, 1775, was
not only the first Declaration of indie
pendence on American soil but was more
than a year ahead of the Declaration
adopted by the Continental Congress over
which this bell rang out its glad Dotes of
JOY, its bold peals for liberty and its ring
ing defiance to British tyranny. Besides,
the first battle of the Revolution fought
in the South, was at Moore's Greek, N.
c.. and the last two battles of the great
struggle were at Kings Mountain and
Guilford Court House. Three of these
great historic points, making the daring
beginning and the glorious closing of the
great Revolutionary struggle, are on the
main line of the Southern Railroad and
on the nearest route from Lynchburg to
Atlanta.
/ ask again why is North Carolina,
which contains such historic points of
the Revolution, and which made an hon
orable record in that mighty contest for
constitutional government, to be thus
ignored hope that the route can yet
be changed. At any rate We should
make the effort. trust that Mecklen-
burg will take the lead now in this mat
ter as she did in 1875.

Old Relic Will Taken Exposition
Itinerary Leaves Out North

One of the sights at the Worlds Fair
that was second to none in interest was
the old bell of Independence Hall, which
was the first to ring out liberty to the
people of America. Such is the great
store placed on Liberty bell that from
the day it left Philadelphia until it was
returned safely it was constantly in the
care of guards who were paid to see that
no harm came to it.
Soon it will be taken to the great Elk
position that will shortly open in At

GINA and Tennessee, and along the route
patriotic people will watch it with feel
ing of veneration. 1t is in an excellent
state of preservation, and was not new

vast crowds assembled around the build

would on that day take definite action
upon the declaration. The bell-ringer
stationed himself in the tower ready to
proclaim the good news the moment it
should be announced to him, and had
posted his little son at the door of the
ball to await the signal of the door-keep-
er. When the announcement of the
vote was made, the door-keeper gave the
signal and the boy ran quickly to the
tower. The old man heard him coming,
and clutched the bell rope with firm
grasp. The next instant the glad cry of
the boys voice was heard: Ring, ring"
he cried; and then the deep, sonorous
tones of the bell went rolling out of the
tower, and were answered with a mighty
shout from the assembled throng with
