decrease in City Tax Assessments EN-
planned by Foreign Investments.
The city tax assessors, Messrs. r.
~ Marlin, j. A. Horsley and G. S.
Crowell, have completed their work,
and filed their digest in the Office of
the city clerk. The digest shows a
decrease of 1924, 279 from last year.
The total amount of taxable prop
erty for 1906 is l,42l 1888, while in
1903 it was 81, 545, 6l2 OF the former
amount, 81, 352, 2ll is the property of
the whites, and 500, I'D that of the ne
groes. The latter sum is divided be-
tween the white and colore1 citizens
in the amounts of 81, 4S7, 1853 and $751;
2o9 respectively. 1t will be thus seen
that there is an increase of $40, 863 in
the assessed value of colored prop
erty.
A ready explanation can be found
for the decrease in the aggregate val
uation of the towns property. The
waterworks system, which has hereto
fore been assessed for a large sum, is
now the property of the city, and hence
is not included in the assessment. An
other factor in the decrease is the TAX
ing out of Dawson of thousands of dol
lars for investment in Florida timber
and turpentine interests during the
past few months.

Large Registration.
Large Registration.

After one of the most intensely act
i've political campaigns that has been
waged in twenty-five years the voters
of Terrell county will today fight out
the battle of ballots in the democratic
state primary.
The main interest centers in the
gubernatorial race. The fight in Ter
rell is between HOke Smith and Clark
Howell, and with each camp claiming
the victory the two forces will charge
the polls with a do-or-die determine
ton.
The only county Office over which
there is a contest is that of sheriff, for
which there are two candidates
Messrs. Miles Hill and j. z. Turner.
Both of these gentlemen have strong
following, and their friends have been
and will be today interchangeable in
their efforts for their respective candi-
date. Both are we'll known and high
lv esteemed citizens. Mr.. Hill has fill
ed for some time the position of chief
of police of Dawson, and is highly fit
ed for the position he seeks. Mr..
Turner. whose home is in Parrott, has
long been identified with the best in
terests of the county, and would make
an excellent sheriff.
Clerk w. S. Dozier, who has capa-
bly, filled the Office for years, has no
opposition. Mr.. A. L. McLendon, the
popular tax collector, has clear
field. So also have Mr.. L. G. Pinks-
ton, Terrell's efficient tax receiver,
and B. B. Perry, the popular treas
urer Mr.. c. T. Buchanan is not OPP
posed for coroner, which Office he has
acceptably filed for one term. Mr. j.

surveyor covers many years, has no
opposition.
The number of registered voters is
larger than in many years, and a rec
ord breaking vote will undoubtedly
be pOlled.

Adapts Its Teaching to the Particular

One feature of the curriculum at

fact that they may choose such courses
as are found to be most profitable
and attractive to their individual re-
uuirements and tastes. Study here is
almost wholly elective, giving only
one degree-the A. B. degree-in the
college of Art and Sciences. Scho-
lastic standards are high and teaching
thorough, but the prime object of all
discipline is to develop the highest
type of christian manhood. Our aim
is the building of character, and our
traditions and environment contrib
ute greatly to this aim. Our equip
ment consists of twenty professors.
