To Destroy White Fly.

Claims are being made that certain
fungi, known as the "brown" and the
"redpink." will destroy the larvae of
the white fly and keep it in check.

them to buckets or pots and suspend

resemblance to his lamented father
is said to be so remarkable as to bs
almost uncanny. A critic in the New

the firm, tight lips. the concentrated
vision; the lean furrowed cheeks;
the figure of singular suppleness and
grace; the odd mannerism of arms
and hands-and the sad, sombre
qualities of voice are the same as
his father.
His wife. Miss Dorthea Baird, takes
the part of Francesca" the other
two principal characters being Har-
court Williams as "Paola" and May
Hargreaves as the wonderful kinswo-
man of the tyrant.
At the conclusion of the perfor-

speech, thereby still further captur-

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and inn
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns

there subjected to a continuous high

Little Attention Will Be Paid State
Election as City Primary on Same
Date Will BE an Event OF Most
Absorbing Interest.

Next Wednesday is the date of the
greatest triangular election the able
Americas voter has gone against in re-
cent years, voting as he will for gov
ernor and statehouse officers, justices
of the appellate court, and in city
primary as a chaser.
But it is in the latter election, after
all, that greatest interest centers-the
election of mayor, aldermen and city
clerk for two years.
The primary in August settled the
gubernatorial ''issoo'' and while some
little interest may be shown Wednes-

the new court of appeals the voter here
will join the lineup that forms at the
city hall.
For the hottest city election in years

ant are working like beavers.
Five aldermanic aspirants are willing
to occupy the three seats in council,
and from among these, Messrs. Elmo
Poole, T. B. Westbrook, c. j. Clark,
7. NJ, Furlow and T. e. Mitchell, the
voters must choose. Five are ''called, ;"
three can be chosen.
Mr.. L. n. Hawkes., for several years
the very efficient clerk and treasurer,
is opposed by Mr.. f. J. McMath, and
the race for this office is going to COM
mand interest as well.
The campaign has had but little of
bitterness or acrimony in it, matter
of congratulation among the friends OF
all the candidates. They desired the
present peaceful status, and whatever
the result all will pull together still for
greater Americas.
The end of strenuous political pc
Rod is in sight-a long era of voting
and for that, at least the public is very
thankful.

TAKING A BIG SLICE
OFF CITY TAX RATE.
The Prosperity of Americas
Grows.
GREAT INCREASE IN PROPERTY
This Year and Generally Prosperous
Conditions Renders Possible a
Further Reduction in Taxes in
Americas This Year.

Prosperous Americas will pay a
smaller tax rate this year than for a
number of years past, and with cOntin-
ued prosperity and excellent manage
ment of affairs municipal the city will
ere long be upon a basis where expenses
will be reduced to a minimum.
Last year there was a substantial re-
ductiOn in the tax rate.
This year the prospect is brighter
still, and a further reduction in the tax
rate will be made, it is said, when the
| time for the payment of taxes arrives a
month or two hence.
This is a matter that appeals directly
to the property owner, whether his pos
sessions are an humble cottage or a
mansion. If the burden of taxation is
made lighter the poor man as well as
his more fortunate neighbor is benefit
ted thereby.
This year the expenses of the city
have been met by an ad valorem levy
of 80 on each 500 ofproperty. Only
a few years ago the tax rate was $1.5O
per 500, while the special taxes then
imposed upon every line Of business
were indeed burden.
But since those trying times the rate
has been reduced each year, and Amer
icus will pay this fall the lowest rate
in many years.
1t costs one-half of one per cent to
maintain the public schools, and one
half of one per cent to provide for the
payment of the citys bonded debt
which now is being rapidly reduced.
Thus, the general expenses have been
paid this year with tax levy Of 3O-10O
of one per cent which, added to the
bond and public school levy, makes a
total of $1.3O per 500. And even that
rate will be less now.
Property values in Americas have in
creased vastly this year, hence the abil-
ity of the council to further reduce the
burden of taxation. In few years
now the city's bonded debt can be paid
off, thus bringing the rate well under
one per cent.
Not in dozen years has the financial
condition of Americas been on the ex-
cellent basis it now is, with property
values increasing daily and taxes grow
ing less.
