According to Rev. c. F. Collyer, an
English missionary, the Korean never
cuts his hair or beard To do so Is
considered a mark of dishonor to his
parents, whom he strongly reverences.
Any hairs that may happen to come
out. and even the parings of his finger
nails, are carefully saved and put in

PROPERTY VALUES TO SHOW
MANY MILLIONS INCREASE
Returns From 50 Counties Show Net Increase Of 6
Irwin About the Head Of the List with $423,S11 LOO
Larger Counties Yet to Hear From.

With seventy-four counties, in
Guiding the largest and wealthest
in the state, yet to be heard
from, the general tax returns as
shown by the digests received up
to date, indicate net increase of
$6,561, 700 in the taxable values
of the state over those of last
year.
This increase is shown in the
digests of sixty-three counties
received at the office of Comp
troller General w. A. Wright up
to and including yesterday. Of
these only four show decreases
as compared with last year and
all of them are small ones.
Fulton, Chatham, Richmond,
Bib, Muscogee, Floyd, Burke
and others of the large and rich
counties are yet to make their re-
turns, being included in the
seventy-four counties which have
not been heard from.
The returns received up to
date indicate a total increase in
the taxable values of the state of
something in the neigeborhood
of $18, 100000. Comptroller Gen
eral Wright says there will be an
increase of ST., 100000 to $2,OOO,-
900. This will mean an addi-
tional revenue of about 100000.
The increase for 1903 in the
general returns was $22, $685.
That, however, was an excep-
tional year. The increased rail-
road and corporation returns last
year were about SIS, 100000, but
the greater part of this cone
from the franchise tax, an en-
tirely new feature. So, accord
ing to the indications thus far,
excluding the franchise tax from
consideration, the increase this
year will, from all sources be
about $5,0o0,000 less than last
year.
This is considered an ex-
tremely good showing, far better
than the state officials had looked
lfor. IF their expectations are

realized the legislature will have
about 100000 more to approp-
rate this year than last. But
the increased appropriations ask
ed for are in the neighborhood of
$3.50, 1000, or perhaps few thou
sand dollars less than that a.
mount. These, however, have
not been passed, but are yet to be
acted on by the general assembly.
The only counties which show
decreased returns so far this
year are the following:
Dekalb, $18, O98; Jones, $14,915;
Mcintosh, $11, 2O3, and Pickens,

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
To Be Held in This City at a
Near Date Arrangements
Being Perfected.

AT a meeting of representa-
tive citizens of Fitzgerald, held
Aug. 2, at the Home Savings
Bank, letter was written Hon.
Harvie Jordan, of Monticello, Ga,
accepting his offer to give Fitz-
gerald the Farmers Institute
for this senatorial district, late
in Augunt or early in Septem Der.
These Institutes are of won
derful benefit to farmers wher-
ever held. They consist of lee
lures and exchange of farming
ideas by the largest and most
successful farmers of the state.
The expenses of the institute
are borne by the state. A local
farmers institute will be per-
manently organized at this place,
as they are being organized all
over the northern and central
portions of Georgia. The meet
ing, upon the whole, promises to
do more for the farming inter-
ests in this and adjoining coun-
ties than any other thing posi-
bly, could.
A committee of four was ap.
pointed to select a central com.
mittee here, which central COM
mittee is to appoint sub-com-
m1ttees throughout the county
for the purpose of advertising
the meeting and to arrange
for the largest basket dinner,
and possibly barbecue that any
county in South Georgia has
ever held. About two days will
be consumed for the institute
and the people of Fitzgerald and
the farmers of Irwin will have 4
opportunity of showing their
hospitality to the many visitors
who will come in hundreds from
all around, by caring for them at
their various homes.
1t has been suggested that sey-
eral of the large land owners will
be willing to list small farms from
their vast holdings for sale, show
ing locations, prices and the var
ious advantages of such farms,
for the benefit of prospective
purchasers.
Some of the current amuse-
ments of the day will be feature
of the occasion and everything
else done to make it both pleas
ant and profitable for every
visitor. -
No section needs an institute
right now more than this, and
the farmers and merchants who
have been appraised of the meet
ing are more elated over the COM
pliment paid us by the visit of
this institute, with its lasting
good results than over any one
thing which has been held in
the past.
