COUNTY ADDS FIVE
MILLS TO TAX RATE
This Makes State and
County Tax $3.50.

The county tax rate for 1909 is )
mills higher than it was last, that is,
it will be necessary to pay 5 cents on
the hundred dollars, or so cents on
the thousand assessed, more than last
year
The County Commissioners have
fixed the rate for the county this year
at S1.45 per hundred Last year it
was $1.4O. To this must be added
the state rate of mills, or 5 cents on
the hundred, making the total state
and county rate $3.50 per hundred in
stead of $1.45 in 1905
The total assessed valuation of the
county is about $6,4OO0OO, so the total
taxes collected by the county will be
$96,000 OF this the state will receive
$4,000 and there will go into the coun-
ty treasury for all purposes $92,SOO
The additional 5 mills levied for
county purposes will bring the county
an additional revenue of about $4,000,
not a great amount, but still sufficient
to assist in the work the county has
under way at this time, requiring
large expenditures.
The distribution of the funds will
be announced by the board later in
its regular report of it's proceedings.
The roads and bridges will receive all
that can be given to them. The COM
mlssioners are all of one mind in
pushing this important improvement
and every cent that can be devoted
to the betterment of the highways will
be expended in that way for the good
of the eRtire county,

JAR GIVEN THE MARKET
AND DOWN IT DROPS
Sinners Report Is BeariSh
Indeed

Cotton values took a small sized
slump yesterday when the ginners'
report was issued at noon, showing a
total of 377 ,552 bales ginned in the
South up to September 1st. Any re-
port, pretty much, is construed bear
ish, and this one was seized upon by
the grizzlies.
They hammered values to beat the
band, and down went prices about
one-eighth of a cent.
In the Americus market the price
slumped from y 1-2 cents, freely paid
during the mo ming, to II 3-S cents as
the aftGScsc2sc,cn nrice.
The wall from the bear pen was
that this amount of cotton, 377. 7.552
bales ginned to Septemh r l, was only
25,000 short of the rdmber ginned to
that date last season, thus indicating
a better crop prospect
The bull Element could not see
much logic in this statement, if any
there was, but as just any old excuse
to put down prices suits the gamblers
they jumped upon the market with
this comparison of figures and sue
ceeded in forcing it down an eighth
of a cent.
This break is the first one since the
season opened.
Unless a further decline can be
forced today by the bear crowd it is
likely that the market will regain the
slight loss sustained in yesterdays
break.

THEATRE SEASON
OPENS THURSDAY
The Wolf" First AttraC.
tiOn To Come Here

The theatrical season in Americus
opens on next Thursday night, when
one of the great hits of last season
in the metropolis, THE Wolf" will be
presented by an excellent company
that is playing in all of the leading
cities of the South and West this sea-
son. The company is not a large one,
but the quality is of the finest. THE
Wolf won appreciation on its initial
performance and has been a continu-
GUS success, winning the strongest
encomiums wherever presented 1t is
regarded as most auspicious open
ing of the season here that so strong
drama should be the initial per-
formance. 1t is believed a crowded
house will greet the company, which
is to be followed by other attractions
that have strong merit. The season
as whole promises to be the best
Americus has ever had and will indi-
cate more than ever that the love of
good plays is on the increase here
and that the conditions are such as to
demand a more modern and better
equipped opera house.
THE Wolf is the work of a New
York newspaper man, Eugene Walter.
Speaking of the writing of it, Mr.. Wal
ter has this to say:
The material for The Wolf" was
obtained during q gold-seeking expe-
dition to Alaska, undertaken by
friend and myself. With dog-teams,
we explored the forests of Canada in
mid-winter, reaching Fort Reliance
overland after a tempestuous journey.
The quest for precious metal was
frultless, but [ came back with it's
equivalent-al the material I needed
for my play of the Canadian North
west. 1t is hardly true to say that
THE Wolf was written in six days.
That is all the time | spent in the ac-
tual writing, but | worked the play
out thoroughly in my mind before die
tating the first line. The idea had
been developing from the moment |
first realized the wonderful natural
poetry of the Canadian woods. |
thought it out again and again. FL
nally, when | had it all in my mind
in an orderly manner, when | knew
exactly what I wanted to say, even to
the shortest word Of dialogue, I die
tated it. l dictate all my NSrk, so in
sense / don't write any play But
not until | have the whole play fully
in mind, not until see mentally each
character going through his scenes
and business as clearly as if | were
at real performance, do l think of
putting it on paper. | must feel the
speeches my characters are to deliver.
must have worked out orally the SEN
ses of values and proportion to the
last detail before I can begin. Once
l have started my dictation, my mind
is not easy until have gone straight
ahead and have finished the last line
in the play. Themes for American
plays are plentiful enough and big
enough. They are just coming into
their own We don't need European |
ideas or European art for our dramas. |
We want none of their my Lords" or |
my Ladies" here. We have progress
ed beyond that. We are just plain |
Joe or Jim or Bill. We are big, |
powerful people with work to do. |
That is what it is to be an American" " |

FREEHOLD BAPTIST CHURCH
SEVENTY FIVE YEARS OLD.
Congregation Celebrates Long
History of Usefulness.

FREEHOLD, Nov. 1L-Seventy-five
years of successful work is being cele-
brated by the First Baptist Church in
this city, of which the Rev. William
E. Foote is pastor. The exercises are
being attended by ministers and lay
men from many cities. A supper
under the direction of the Ladies' Aid
Society will bring the exercises to a
close tonight.
1.-THE beginnings of Baptist work in
Freehold go back to 1852, when David
Jones, of Middletown, divided his time
in preaching between Upper Freehold
and Freehold. In IT'S the Upper Free
hold church was organized n Mr..
Jones was ordained pastor.
"In 1884 ninety-four people residing in
Freehold, but members of the churches
in Middletown, Hightstown and Upper
Freehold, requested permission to with
draw from their respective churches
and constitute a separate organization,
to be known as the Freehold Baptist
Church. This church was established
and has enjoyed a steady growth ever
since.

ATLANTIC CITY MAY GET
MONORAlL GYROSCOPE.
Pennsy After Speedy Engine,
Whose Test Is Satisfactory.

LONDON, Nov. 11.-Louis Brennan,
inventor of the famous torpedo, the
only wal secret ever successfully guard
ed by England. giving a practical DEM
onstration at New Brompton of his
gyroscope mono railroad, won a great
triumph. The hurried demonstration
was due to a desire to counterfeit a re-
ported Berlin exhibition of an alleged
infringement.
"A circular track, one-eighth of a
mile, with tangent spurs, was utilized.
The car used is forty feet long and ten
feet wide. 1t resembled an American
flatcar, with a huge food built on the
front end.
In the hood were two horoscopes
capable of 5000 revolutions a minute,
and on each side projected huge radia-
tors. Two electric engines were used,
one of eighty and the other of twenty
horsepower. The car creates It's own
electricity through petrol. The speed
attained was eve miles an hour, as
the small engine only was used. A full
ly equipped car can run $50 miles an
hour. and carry it's own fuel for three
hours. The car runs on four wheels
set tandem.
A roadway for this monorail can be
laid at the rate of thirty miles a day
in the widest country. A secret agent
of the Pennsylvania Railroad is nego-
tiating with Mr.. Brennan for the right
to build an experimental line between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City.

BOARD OF TRADE
WILL AID BUREAU
FOR UNEMPLOYED
Plans for Municipal System, as
Outlined by James F. Con-
nelly, Meet Favor.

AT a meeting of the Board of Trade
last night, City Clerk James F. Con-
nelly gave details about the municipal
employment bureau to pc opened on
the fourth floor of the City Hal next
Monday. He said the bureau will at
first endeavor to get work for men, and
il the experiment proves the success 1t
is expected to be, employment will be
looked for for women who ask for 1t.
After his address members or the
board promised to assist in the work.
THE matter was referred to the manu-
~faoturers' committee of the board to
take action. Blank cards were distrlb-
uted that are to be filled out by men
who want employment n mailed to
the bureau office. The work Will be IN
no sense a charity, viii be done without
publicity and partisan politics will have
no part in 1t.
Mr.. Connolly said that he realized
that a great deal of prejudice would
have to be overcome, both on the part
of employers and the employed before
the bureau could do the best work OF
which 1t is capable. By conducting II
in a confidential n however, Mr..
Connolly hoped that the public would
in time learn to take advantage of its
services, just the same as other
branches of the municipal government
are utilized.
Through the medium OF the bureau,
he said, it was proposed to afford the
unemployed an opportunity to register
without personal appearance at the
city clerks Office. Registration could
be made by means of cards mailed to
applicants on request, n returned to
the bureau bearing the required data
The statements made by applicants
would be investigated by the attaches
of the bureau in order to avoid delay
when employers apply for help. Blanks
for filling out by employers would also
be provided, he said. He declared that
In time he believed the bureau would
greatly promote the welfare of the
community.
Mr.. Connolly said that in New Zea-
land the project had been successfully
tried and that the department Of labor
and commerce of the United States had
met with great encouragement with a
similar bureau established in New
York. He solicited the aid of the Board
of Trade to make the bureau in New
ark a success.
The Board of Trade. Mr.. Connolly
said. includes many Of the largest en-
ployers in the city. If they patronize
the bureau and give It their approval
this will go a long wa toward estab-
fishing it firmly In Newark.
