TAX INCREASE IN LAURENS.
VIII Amount TO 100000 over Last
YeRr-other Matters.


Dublin. Ca. July 15.-The increase
in taxable property IN Laurens county
this year over last will be very graf
flying. In fact the increase will be
fully 100000 more than was expected.
For several days Tax Receiver J. N.
Adams has been busy with several as
sistants compiling the tax digest. He
has finished but two districts out of
the fourteen in the county, and finds
the increase so far to be 1921. 900. OF
which Dublin district furnishes $204,-
SAL. Last year the increase in Laur-
ems county over 1899 was $272, 900, OF
which Dublin furnished $2lS,000. 1t
will thus be seen that in two years
property values in Dublin district in
creased, in round figures, $423, 000--a
most remarkable and encouraging
showing.
Although the districts compiled so
far show an increase in property val
ues of $221.00 over 1900, IL is expected
that the net increase in the county will
not be over $125,000. if quite as much.
Carter's district will show a decrease
of fully $150,000 on account of the re-
moval from the county last winter of
the Garbutt Lumber Company. and the
nihNIlCAH III Tue county WHICH nave
gained in property values will have to
Offset that big slump.
The large increase in the Dublin dis
trict Is not due to the erection of the
Dublin Cotton Mills or the Dublin Oil
Mills and Ice Company, as both of
these enterprises were built with local
capital, one of the stockholders OF the
Dublin Cotton Mills having in 1900
given in $50, 900 in money and notes
bar
ing been invested by him in the cot
ton mills. 1t is not expected that many
counties will make a better showing
than Laurens this year.
Several days ago the Dublin Bar AS
ISOLATION petitioned Judge John c.
Hart to try only criminal business at
the coming session of the Superior
Court OF Laurens county, and 30 call
an adjourned term of the court in the
fall for the purpose of dis
posing of such civil business as may
be on the docket for trial. On Satur-
day a latter was received from Judge
Hart stating that owing to the fact
that there were eleven capital cases to
be tried at the July term of the court
he would only call criminal business
and such civil business as could be
disposed OF without the Intervention
of a jury.
Will Wright the negro who some
months ago held up City Court Sheriff
John ID. Prince. but who escaped for
lack of evidence. was arrested on Sat
urday by Policeman J. l.. Cowart. Jr..
and turned over 10 Deputy Sheriff
George Everett OF Wilkinson county,
where Wright was badly wanted.
Wright burned out OF the Wilkinson
county jail some months ago and came
TO Dublin. When arrested by Police
man CoWart a nistol WAS found In
Wrights pocket. The officer from
Wilkinson was asked TO hold Wright
after he had served his time I'm wilkin-
son so that he could be made 70 answer
In Laurens county for the offense OF
carrying a concealed weapon.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

If all the tired women and all the
nervous women, and all the women
that needed tonic would read and
heed the words of these two ladies
who have spoken right to the noint
how many invalids would be prevented
and how many wretched lives be made
happy.
Peruna restores health in a normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
der, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by
restoring the mucous membrane of
the stomach.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the fe-
male sex is especially liable to de-
rangements. Peruna Is an absolute
specific in these cases.

Pittsburg, July 15.-Secretary and
Treasurer John Williams of the Anal

papers, Mr.. Arms is reported as say
ing that the manufacturers insisted on
protecting the non-union men in the
non-union plants. many of whom do
not want to become union men. hard
ly think that Mr.. Arms would make a
statement of this kind, as his past re-
cord has always been one of fair deal
ing with the Amalgamated Association.
No one knows better than Mr.. Arms
himself that If the barriers were torn
down from the non-union mills we
could organize them all inside of two
days
This has been demonstrated by the
voluntary closing of all plants of the
American Steel Hoop Company. The
only reason that the manufacturers
gave that the previous conditions
should exist was that they were afraid
the Amalgamated Association would
attain too great a power. and it was
necessary that they themselves hold
the balance of power
THE manufacturers are refusing us
the right that they exercised them
selves in forming the combination.
They used force in some instances, it
is believed, in securing some of the
plants now in their company. We do
not propose to coerce men into joining
our organization, but merely ask for
recognition, and I am certain the men
now at work in non-union mills will
voluntarily and gladly join our asso-
