Rev. Greer A. Foote, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, delivered
the baccalaurcatc sermon TO the 1909
graduates of the Glenwood school last
Sunday evening, in the gymnasium. y
large crowd of the friends Of the grad
yates were present, and thoroughly en-
joyed the address, which was from the
subject, "Religion and Life" The
usual evening services at both the
Presbyterian and Methodist churches
were dismissed, and the choirs of the
two churches furnished the music for
the occasion. There is no doubt THAI
the young people can derive many ben.
cfits from the address of Rev. Foote,
if they will but take advantage of his
greater experience aud knowledge of
life and its many obstacles. Thus it
IS to be hoped that the Glcnwood grad
yates will heed the advice of older
and wiser friends and sidcstcp as many
as possible of the pitfalls that are
waiting for their approach as they
start ont on a newer and higher school
life.

L. r. Kouns of Ironton, Ohio, who
with his wife has been here several
weeks settling up the estate of the
late Fred Atkinson, received the news
that the old weather-boarded log cabin
in which he was born, was burned to
the ground since he came west. Mr..
Kouns says the building was over one
hundred years old, and that 1T was on
the original strip of land taken up by
his grandfather. Mr. Kouns said the
tnilding would have had to be torn
down sooner or later, as the flood wat
crs were getting closer to it every
year. Since the timber was all cut
off the Ohio lands the rains are fol
lowed by the rapid rising of streams.
This would indicate that it would have
bcon we'll to have had forest reserves
in Ohio several years ago and thus
protected the trees. Mr.. Kouns says
people are now making lumber out of
poles that are only few inches in
diameter.

crediting assets and deducting liabil-
tiles? Or, in other words, how much
balance will there, be after collecting
the taxes and paying the appropria-
lions for 1908 with which to meet ap-
preparations for 1910?
after a most thorough investiga-
ton | find that with the close of the
present year, if the state is charged
with all unpaid appropriations for
1909 still to be collected and collec-
table, the state will have a surplus
of $2,056,503.19 with which to begin
the payment of appropriations for
1910.
"The question arises, with such a
surplus at the first of the year, why
are not all claims of the school
teachers met promptly as they ma
ture?
"The bulk of the income of the
state is from ad valorem taxes. Their
collection begins in October, increas-
es in November, December and Jan
uary, and continues even beyond
April. The heavy collections are in
December and January.
1.-THE monthly revenues of the state,
outside of ad valorem taxes, is hard
ly sufficient to meet current expenses
over and above the required payments
upon the public debt, and appropria,
tons for pensions and public schools.
"Under our present law we must
pay $950,000 to pensions in February
Interest on the state bonds, together
with 100000 set apart annually for
the sinking fund, will tax our sur
plus to the amount Of 100000. This
only leaves a little over $650,000 OF
the surplus to be used for paying
teachers and other bills before the
ad valorem taxes begin to come in
in November, 1910.
"The surplus of $2,056,503.19 gives
ample money to meet the calls on the
treasury until some time during the
summer. From that time until the ad
valorem taxes begin to come in all
the teachers claims cannot be met
unless other current liabilities are
left unpaid.
"If only half of the pensions had
been paid in February and half had
remained to be paid from ad yalorem
taxes in December, this would have
left s475,0O0 of additional cash in the
treasury. That would have covered
the school claims which have been
presented so far this year.
"This condition of the treasury is
nothing new. 1t is the natural result
of making appropriations payable dur
ing a given year and relying upon
the taxes not collected until the last
of the year with which to meet pay
ments.

WAR STILL CONTINUES
ON BLACK ROOT PEST

Atlanta, Ga.-The campaign for
stamping out the black root, which
has cost the cotton planters of Geor-
gia over million dollars this year,
will be continued with the co-opera-
ton of the agricultural department
and the State Farmers Union,
through the middle of December, and
it is believed that great good will
be accomplished as result.
Instructions are begin given the
farmers at these meetings on how
best to cope with the black root, by
State Entomologist E. l.. Worsham,
Professor Nixon of the State Agricul-
tural College, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture T.. G.. Hudson and j. Il. Lee,
president of the State Farmers I'm
ion. Following up these speeches, the
department of entomology will dis
tribute a resident variety of cotton
seed, which have grown in Georgia,
and which will not become affected
by black root. 1t is believed that as
result black root will be entirely
driven cut of the state in the course
OF a few years. =
The damage by black root Is not
confined alone to the cotton itself,
but the cotton seed, which has come
to be one of the most valuable parts
of the cotton crop, is also destroyed.
