GAINS WILL BE SLIGHT
IN STATE, IT SEEMS
Sumter Among Counties
Showing Increase.

Sumter's tax digest for the current
year will be completed early this
week and forwarded by Tax Receiver
Speer to the Office of the comptroller
and while the gain in property values
will not be as large this year. as last
Sumter will show quite substantial
increase, nevertheless.
The depressing effect which the fin.
ancial panic had upon Georgia is re-
tlected in the tax returns for 1908
the majority of which have been re-
ceived at the office of Controller Gen
eral Wright.
Legislative appropriations have
been made upon expectde increases il
tax returns this year of $4,000, 900
whereas, the increase will scarcely be
one-fifth that amount
These appropriations were made By
the legislative session of 1907, wher
the state was flush with increased re-
turns totalling $60,000,000 which
meant 100000 in added income with
a tax rate of five mills
Indications this year point to ar
increase of not more than $4,000 ,0C
There viii be an increase of $4,000 00(
to S10,000,000 in property returns as
shown on the digests, but the corpor-
alton returns have been reduced by
arbitration below what they were last
year
This will cut off $3,O00OOO to $4,-
100000 now estimated, and a $5,O00,-
600 net increase is considered quite
up to present indicated expectations.
Out of 110 counties yet heard from
the net increased returns to- date is
only 100000 There are thirty-six
counties yet to report, and it is not
likely their net increases will go be-
yond $2,000,000 at the outside. That
will be about the average.

One Americus contractor will put
in a bid, and perhaps others. Inquir-
les coming from other sections indi-
cate that the out-of-town bidding will
be brisk. Each bid must be accom-
panied by certified check for $3.50,
and the successful bidder must furn-
ish bond of $4,000 for the faithful
performance of his task
While no specific time has been set
for the completion of the building.
the successful bidder will be expected
to make the dirt fly, to the end that
the library may be gotten ready in

1t has been suggested that on the
completion of the institution that a

opening night, with an entertainment,
either a lecture or an amateur thea

"OPEN SHOP" CONTEST
ON THE GREAT LAKES

Cleveland, Ohio, August 10.-(Spe-
ciaD-The most determined and sys-
tematic fight ever made against or
ganized labor on the Great Lakes
is now being waged under cover
of the open shop" policy declared
by the Lake Carriers Association last
winter.
The latest move in the attempt
to kill the unions is in requesting all
stewards, seamen, firemen and oil
ers to make a n affidavit renouncing
all allegiance to their unions, swear
ing it is their intention not to join
any and taking an oath not to join
in any strike Men who make the
affidavit are given employment. Those
who refuse find no work on the YES
sells on which the affidavits are
demanded.
This move, made without the sane
ton or the approval of the Lake
Carriers Association has caused &
big row in the organization, most Of
the independent owners being oppos-
ed to it. At present the affidavit is
being used on the vessels of the
Pittsburg Steamship Company, a sub
sidiary organization of the stee
trust, and on most of the vessels
carrying iron ore from the stee
trusts mines. Many of the indepen-
dent boat owners do not ask thai
the oath be taken, but so great is
the number of boats on which it is
required that it may be said to be
in effect generally The form of this
affidavit was made up in the CIeye-
land offices of the largest steamship
companies on the lakes. In some
cases notaries have gone aboard
the ships and administered the oath
In others the men have been asked
to go to a designated notary and
take the oath

IMMIGRANTS SHY
OF SOUTH'S AGENTS
Foreigners Conclude They
Are BunCO SteererS.

New York, August 10.-(SpeciaD-
Land agents who have tried to turn
the tide of immigration, through the
port of New York, from it's accus-
toned channel to the South, where
land is cheap, have come to be look
ed upon as bunko steerers by thou
sands of immigrants landed here
in the last few months. The immi-
grafton officials, say that foreigners
coming here look upon every one
with suspicion and also that many
amusing mistakes have been made
by them at Ellis Island.
During the last few months sew
eral dozen land agents from the
Southern States have appeared at
Ellis Island, trying to get the newly
landed foreigners to accompany
them to the South, either to buy
land or to work for the agricultur-
lists there. Some few hundred immi-
grants have listened to their stories
of wealth to be made in the South,
but comparatively few have gone
there.
Most of the immigrants entering
this port have come after already
choosing the place where they will
cast their fortunes the immigration
officials say. They have friends or
relatives living in some part of the
United States and come either to
join them or go to some locality ad-
vised by persons whom they know
and can trust. Hence the false light
of bunko steerer under which some
of the Southern land agents have
fallen
DR.. Leander Trowbridge Chamber
lain, Vice Chairman of the Immigra-
ton Department of the National Civic
Federation, in discussing the subject
of distribution of the immigration to
the United States a few days ago
said:
Only, one man in 400 arrives at
Ellis Island who does not know ex-
actly where he is going. And if you
undertake to tell the Italian of the
advantages of the South, of its elm
ate, or its fruits and flowers, and he
is bound to Montreal, for instance, it
is a useless task to try to dissuade
him. Not long ago an interpreter
asked one immigrant if he would
not like to go South to locate. The
immigrant said he was going to
Montreal
But, said the interpreter, Mon
treal is frozen half the year and you
are from italy And then he des-
cribed the South and compared the
South and Montreal, and what dc
you suppose was the impression he
made? Why, the Italians took him
for a bunko steerer.
If the South or any other place
wants immigration, it would be wise
to take few families and convince
them that they can get employment
throughout the year at good wages
They do not come here for climatic
reasons. They come here to better
themselves.

TAKING OUT KINKS IN
LINE OF THE CENTRAL
Will Lessen the Mileage
Considerably.

To the end of eliminating curves and
thus reducing the mileage of the
system,a corps of Central Railway
civil engineersa re now going over
the several branches of the Central.
and ere long will be making such
surveys here about Americus.
These engineers have reached the
main line of the road and have been
in Griffin the past week
1t is said the new survey is made
with view of cutting out sharp cur
YES and bends in the road, thus maxi
ing it straight as possible between
Atlanta and Savannah
An interesting rumor in connection
with this work is that Barnesville a
progressive little city between Griffin
and Forsyth may be cut off the line,
the new survey running the road some
six miles to the north of that place
1t is believed by many that the
Central is to be greatly improved on
all its lines by the new management.
