 Every attendant came laden with treasures from her garden to share with these neigh bors." Truly 'tis a missionary spirit that is being culti- vated by these gracious women. for it makes loving neighbors of Cloverdale and Amanda street. of Capital Heights and Perry! Distance has lost it's old cynical meaning ss given by the poet Tending enchantnent'---for these good women have telephones. street cars and "a loving. generous disposition. that Is being cultivated by this constant thought of others.
 The president. with her usual from each member as to the value of her own contribution. This was done In systematic order. the name of the member being called in succession; she told what she had brought and its best method of cultivation.
 In this way has been discharged the presence of s.specinlists" in the cul- ture of certain flowers. These are na- turally looked up to by the other mem bers as their guides in handling sue cessfully those particular flowers.
 As the president called the list. the following ladies reported concerning their offerings:
 Mrs. M. D. Bibb, from her beauti- fui and valuable collection of old-time plants. had brought white towering almond. sweetshrubs. white flags, old time vioiets and dwarf box plants.
 There was a murmur of deep satis- faction. for uaany wanted just those things.
 Mrs. Mary Arlington, the chairman of the press committee. had brought golden glow, chrysanthemums and neur-de-lis.
 There was gentle laugh of appre- ciation from the elder members: they remembered when they gathered fieur- de-lis in their grandmothers' gardens. laden; but. in her modest way she only spoke of "a little basket Of things" and then distributed an abundance of palm seed. That little basket" proved to be large mark ef basket pressed down, heaped up and running over" with treasures from her valuable collection.
 Mrs. Hawley has a new home in Cloverdale--and her flowers evidently think themselves in Glover" for they flourish in abundance and their gen. erous owner has much to spare to her neighbors; she brought fine chrysan- themums and a variety of beautiful annuals.
 Mrs. Sailie Thorington brought wis., taria roots. tuberoses, sweet elysum and silvery vioiets.

nY nov o,NEAL-

Hunfsvslle, April 10.--(Special.)--- The year 1908 Is the centennial annlv- srsary of the birth of many famous men and perhaps no one of those born in that year has added so much to the material wealth of the world as Cy- rus Mccormack, the inventor of the reaper It will be matter of interest to Alabamians in general that within the borders of this state lives one or the great inventors daughters, MISS Mary Virginia Mccormick of Hunts vile.
 With . well appointed household, 1fiss Mccormick makes her home at .'Kildare." magnificent country home surrounded by grove of forest trees 1ust one mile north of Huntsville on Che Meridianville pike.
 Her father. Cyrus, H. Mccormick. was born at Walnut Grove. Va, small village in Rockbridge county, only a little way from the far-famed natural bridge. on February 15, 1909. Ills fa- ther, Robert Mccormick. had made some progress in the invention of a reaping machine even before his death. end had perfected some minor machines Of local note. The first factory of the business that has since develop cd into the great International Har- vester Company of America was in the little village of Walnut Grove, Va. Associated with Cyrus H. Mccormick in the business were his two brothers. William and Leander. The far-seeing inventor realized at even so early a day as ls44 that the great prairies of the west were destined to become the granary of the world, hence in is44 we find him moving his shop to Cincin- natl where in the fall of the year he began shipping his reapers.
 Knowing the value of shipping fac- ilties he again in 1S47. moved to Chi- caxo and bought . large tract of land on which to erect his buildings. thus coming even closer to the great mar vest fields of the west.
 It seems strange now to think that this wonderful invention was once the butt of ridicule, but so 1t was In 1891 when on exhibition at the World's Far in London. the leading paper in the city poked fun at 1t, declaring that It was a cross between chariot and fyin1 machine. Nevertheless, after a few tests made in practical work, the judges awarded the gold medal to the inventor and the same paper was nov ed to admit that the Mccormick rea- per was equal in practical value to the whole cost of the worlds fair.
 Legion of Honor.
 A few years later Mir. Mccormick was decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor by the Emperor of France because of his wonderful in- vention, and his name and fame have gone throughout the entire world be- cause of his having revolutionized the whole method of farming.
 The name "McCormick" is known as widely for its benefactions as for its creation of material wealth. Few men

PIONEER TAX
PAYERS OBJECT
TO ASSESSMENT
HAVE NO DESIRE TO PAY SPEC
IAL INTEREST ON SCHOOL
BONDS

County Assessor Owens and
County Treasurer Mannix have been
in receipt of several letters from
owners of property that was for
merly in the Rhyolite school dis
trict but which was included in the
Pioneer district when the latter was
formed. The writer's object to the
special tax levied to pay the inter-
est and provide fund to take care
of the principal of the Rhyolite
school bonds. These property hold
ers believe that since they are no
longer in the Rhyolite school dis
trict that they are not subject to
this speciel tax.
The matter was brought to the
attention of Gilbert c. Ross, who
stated that the change in boundar-
les does not release any property
that was in Rhyolite district at the
time of the issue of the school
bonds. He referred to the follow
ing law on the subject:a
Change i'm Boundary Not to Re-
lease Property for Taxes - Nc
change in the boundary lines OF
any school district shall release the
taxable real property of the dis
trict from assessment and levy o.
the taxes to pay the interest ant
principal of such bonds, and if there
shall be any change in the boundar.
of such school district so as tt
leave any portion of the taxable
real property of the district which
was subject to taxation in the dis
trict at the time Of the issue o.
such bonds, the assessment and levy
of taxes for the payment of the
principal and interest of sucf
bonds shall be made on such prop
erty as if it were still within the
district, and if there shall be any
change of the boundary lines o.
such school district SO as to annex
or include any taxable or real prop
erty, after the issue of such bonds
the real property so included or an
nexed shall thereafter be subject t.

interest of such bonds
