 some day, see it upon the statutes
 of Arkansas, but where can you find 8 senator or representative who will support or introduce this lawf And the tax dodgers, all that will be left for them to do with their "something" that is not for sale at any price, will be to assess it at such high rate that you will be more than glad to dispose of it at such a fancy price. We would be pleased to hear from some of our readers or exchanges concerning this question of making each tax payer pay alike.

Do not lie in bed in the morn ipgs. The early bird catches the worm, and if you are up a suf- ficiently long time before him you may read your neighbours papers before he comes down to take them from the step. Your gains will depend largely upon the number of papers your meighbor takes, but one cent day nets you $3.65 a year, except in leap year, when you will make cent more. In following out this plan remember it is not compatible with the ob- legations of good neighborhood to cut out item which you think will interest your wife.

TAX ASSESSMENT.

We note in our exchanges that the Equalization Boards have been raising property assessments. Here in Bradley county the equal ization board raised the assessed valuation on all lands assessed un- der $2 to $4. These cheap lands are "pine flats" from which timber has been cut, or wild lands have no merchantable timber on them. Other properties have been raised in many instances to something like the assessed valuation of neighboring property. We have heard considerable "kicking" from parties whose assessments have been raised, but on the whole there is as little as any previous year.
 In Dallas county the board raised
 timbered lands from $3 to $6. In

We have lying upon our desk, for our use, a large book of over 200 articles against the city mail order house, which was sent us by 8 large wholesale house in St. Louis that sells to merchants only, to be published iii the NEWS, some of which have been inserted, but we hate like "gemeny-fts" to help the home merchant who is too stingy to place even a small adver- tisement in our paper.

DuneheW & Co.

some counties the timbered lands are assessed at $8 and $1O per acre. It seems to be the policy of the assessors and equalization boards to get 60 per cent assessed valua- tion of property instead of "a fair market valuation.
 If some means were adopted by which the market valuation of the property could be assessed the rate of taxation would be lowered and all would pay alike on their prop erty. In New Zealand all prop erty can be sold at it's assessed valuation. There, the government reserves the right to take the prop erty at its assessed valuation and sell it to any one who will pay for it more than its assessed valuation and the state takes the profits. Such a law in Arkansas would in- sure all property being assessed at it's full market value; for when a man assessed his property he would put a price on it that he would be willing to take for it, for he would know that it could be taken from him by the state pay ing him its assessed valuation. If all property were assessed at full market value then the rate of tax ation would be reduced at least one half and the small property owner would not pay as much as he does now while the larger holdings would pay more; for it is a fact that small property owners come nearer assessing their property at it's full market value than do the larger owners.-WARREN GRAD LEY COUNTY) DEMOCRAT NEWS.
 Such a law as New Zealand's certainly would insure all proper ty being assessed at it's full market value. We asked one of our large land owners not long since, what ho thounhf of tho obOuo occocc ment law, and the only excuse given was, "Oh! That would not do at all. For some one might own something that they would not care to sell at any price," We suppose he, himself, was the someone" spoken of and a sec tion of land was the "something"

OF GREAT INTEREST TO
 OUR MERCHANTS
MUCH HONEY BEING SENT TO THE CITY MAIL-ORDER HOUSES. BIG INCREASEIN THE McCRORY
 POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS.

That the McCrory post-ofice will become an office of the third class after the filing of the next annual report next July, is re- garded by Postmaster J. B. Neal as almost certainty. The receipts at the local office have so largely increased recently that the Doctor is almost positive that the amount, $1,O00., required to raise the postoffice to one of the third class will be reached by the end of the fiscal year.
 The stamp sales for the year ending Sept, 30, were $441 .91, as compared with $29O.46 for the same time last year. The sales for the year 1905 were $272.41 as compared with $250.4O for the year 1904. The gain in stamps for the past 12 months shows an increase of g per cent or $151. .45, and if the same ratio of increase is maintained for the next two quarters the years revenue will reach the thousand mark.
 "As soon as the department is satisfied that the office is firmly established on this basis" says Dr. Neal, II think it will be an easy matter to have the office made third class"
 "Much money is being sen, away to the mail order houses,' '' said Postmaster Neal. This is 6 thing that should never be done by any of our people, but, the home merchant is much to blame for the money that is sent away from home. We have nine large dry goods and grocery establish ments in our little city, only five of which advertise, namely Me Crory Mercantile Company, Wood 6 Son, J. o. Raymond, Conner & Conner and Dunehew & Co and some of them on a very smal scale. The others, B. T. Wherry H. Arnof, Thompson-Hailey Com pany, Fakes Mercantile Company and John Shearer, have not as much as advertised even a months time, and some have spent not one cent for advertising.

$21O.O2

The above amount, ($485. .46) as can be seen by the above figures which are true, is for money which has absolutely gone from the home merchants, for goods that are kept in stock by the above McCrory firms. This list that has been complied by us does not in- clude orders for booze, medicines, and many other articles too numer- Ous to mention, but actual articles handled by home merchants. Now MT. McCrory Merchant, would you like to have a share of this trade7 If you do, why it's up to you to ad- vertise. It certainly does pay. For those who believe otherwise, we refer them to the progressive firm of Wood S Son, who contri- bute the greater portion of their success to advertising. While having an interview with the above gentleman, last Tuesday MT. H. E. Wood said, "I do not regret one penny that has been spent in advertising our business in your paper. l consider two per cent of a firms sales a conservative amount to expend for advertising and think money spent in news paper advertising, the best that can be had." We know of a business house in McCrory with a stock of $15, ,OOO that never adver- tises at all, and we'll take Wood & Sons of $1 ,500 and we feel sure that we are stating a fact when the latter's sales last month, amounted to more than the house that does not advertise. Now MT. Non-Ad- vertiser, as to the business of Wood & Son being a great suc- cess, no one can doubt. They have built up a business that is far ahead of anything of its kind in McCrory, and what do they contribute as being the greatest help in building up this large businessf You have read their statement. It is advertising, ad- vertising in way that is judicious- ly and cautiously, changing their advertisement each week and some- times putting in an extra adver- tisement. When these people be- gan business they first ordered a three inch, double colum, adver- tisement in the NEWS. So well did this investment in printers ink pay them, that not long since the NEWS received orders to just double their space. We will say to the merchant who is afraid of the price, that we are not so very high. By looking elsewhere III this paper you can see their large ad for which they pay the small price of $3.00 per month, or $36. % year. Someone will say that is money thrown away, but we quickly come to the front and say that this Is false.
 Have you not read notices upon notices in this paper fighting your hardest competitor, the mail order house. Certainly you have and not one cent was the editor paid for these free knocks, in your favor, against your enemy. Ger toi m lu xou oould rt,p o c,noll od

IN YACHT RACE
Dervish Clips Nearly Two
Days From the Old
Record

NEW YORK.-Late advices from
Hamilton, Bermuda, state that nine Of
the IL contestants in the New York.
Bermuda ocean yacht race have ar
rived there. They arrived in the fol-
lowing order:
Dervish, Hyperion, Lila, Shamrock.
Priscilla, Mist, Zurah, zlnta and Tam,
many.
The schooner Dervish won the prize
Of the larger class of boats and the
Lila won the competition for boats
of the smaller class. The three boats
yet to be heard from are the sloops
Isolt and Flamingo and the little yawI
Zena.
The Dervish made new yacht req
ord for the trip, covering the distance
in three days, 10 hours and 5S min
utes.
While all the boats reported meeting
rough weather, the little schooner Mist
probably had the most trying expert
ences. That yacht ran into center
of cyclone on June O. during which the
seas were terrific. The boat rode out
the storm creditably. One Of the seas.
however, that broke over the yacht
carried away the hatch covering and
the ventilator top, allowing a great
deal Of water to get below. During this
serious trouble the wheel was dashed
down and all hands remained below.

HORSES
WIN 100000

NEW YORK.-The gross winnings
of the racing stables of James R,
keene for the season of 1907 so far
elapsed has passed the 100000 mark.
The Keene horses in the time since
the New York season opened, at Aque-
duct April Is, have won a total of
$l01,046.25. The total is a record for
so early in the season, and with so
large a sum already to the credit of
the Keene horses and most of the
stakes still to be run for, it is we'll
within the probabilities that the
Keene stables may establish new an
nual record for the turf in America.
Peter Pan, Colin and Superman,
sons of Mr.. Keene's dead stallion
Commando, are the largest individual
winners for Mr.. Keene.
