WEEYIL DOES NOT
 WORRY FARMERS
THEY WILL RAISE SOMETHING ELSE-CUBA CANNING COMPANY TO BEGIN WORK

Cuba, September 2o.-(speciai. .)-with 60 acres in corn, 10 of which will yield 1000 bushels; 60 hogs, ranging in weight from 50 to 300 pounds. Sim Catlett, local farmer, is calmly watching the advent of the boil weevi1. which is now reported within 60 miles of us. Scores of farmers who have begun to harvest their corn find it indeed a bumper crop. Manse 6turdevant, who is a contestant for the Boys Corn club prizes, has an acre con- sisting of rows which are so measured as to make 30 to the acre, and on these rows he will make an average of 600 good ears, at which rate he will make well above 125 bushels. The recent rains have added little to cotton, but with ginning in full swing and picking well under way, the farmers are finding that the August drought blasted their hopes of a good cotton crop. Prices for both seed and cotton are holding at fair prices, but with the decline to less than 13c here the farmers are beginning to hold up on the marketing and arranging to store. The Farmers union seems willing to let first receipts go at 13c, so that the banks may tighten up little, but from what can be gathered they intend to start general holding movement for 15c within the next few weeks.
 The town election passed off quietly yesterday, with no special contest being made except in school trustees. full vote was boiled, which resulted in the election Of the present mayor and mar shal and the former council with the exception of T. o.

All opposition to the tick eradication work has dlsap peared.
 A meeting of the directors of the Cuba Canning company was recently held at which time the building was accepted and arrangements made to commence canning this season. Henry McDonnell, the manager left today for points in Mis- sissippi, where he goes to purchase few cars of sweet potatoes. About 2O00 bushels can be obtained locally.

BIG INCREASE IN
 TAX VALUATIONS Over Billion Dollars of Prop
 erty in Alabama VALUES BY COUNTIES Jefferson Contains Real Estate Amount ing to s7O,717,sss and Personal Property to s3e,923,b32-The
 Total Is s515,0O0,000
VALUES BY COUNTIES

Montgomery, September 20.-(Special.)- The tax valuations of Alabama for 1910 show an increase of s24, ,21S, 42s over those of year ago. the figures being: For 1910, 5os.5ss.s1s, and for 1909. s4s4,a5o,ooo The figures have Just been made up in the office of State Auditor W. W. Brandon, compiled from reports made by the tax assessors of the various counties.
 Based on this valuation the total taxes collectable will be $s,so5. 7s3ss. as follows: General 31.271, ,42oss, school s1.525. 7o5, sol- dier s50s.bes. The general tax on real es- tate for this year will be $744, 151.s2 an increase of $3s,s3e.16 over the preceding year. The general tax on personal prop erty will be s527. 7.26s.Ss. increase for the year being s2oeos.s7
 The total value of real estate for the year 1910 is placed at s297 ,6so.5ss. increase of $15.974,5S9. On personal property s210, ,e07, ,921. increase of sS,243,so1, making the total increase $24.21S, ,3so The slight discrepancy in the figures Is accounted for In the making up of the averages which are worked out all right in the final casting up.
 Under the constitution the state can levy no more than 65f mills, of which goes to schools and 1 to old soldiers Thus only 21a mills. or 25 cents on the $10O must take care of the expenses of the state. This year this amount will bring In H .21, 420.S9, an increase over the one just closing of 36o.545.42. The taxes for old soldiers and schools will be brought up in like proportion
 However these figures do not represent the entire increases and make up the full total. The tax commissioners are at work and the state tax commission, and 1t is very likely that the showing will be brought up at least s7,0OO.o00 more. Al ready there have been found $2,000, 900 of escapes in Jefferson, and large amounts in other sections, so that the sum total In the end is going to show, 1t appears, not far from $550. 100000.
 Under the agreements of the tax off cers property is taxed on a valuation of 60 per cent but 1t Is an open secret that this even Is not maintained As result 1t may be safely guessed that Alabama real estate and personal property Is worth at true value over s1ooo, 0oo.o00
 By counties the valuations are shown as follows:

CARROLLTON FIRE BURNS DOWN TWO BUILDINGS

Carrolton, September 20-,(Special-)- Fire yesterday destroyed the blacksmith shop of W. A. Rodgers and the ware house of H. B. Latham. a merchant. For a while 1t seemed that the entire bus iness district was doomed as these buildings were within 25 feet of two store houses leading up the south and west sides of the public square, but by valiant work of the entire citizenship the fire was confined to the buildings destroyed. The fire originated In the blacksmith shop of MT. Rodgers. who lost nearly every thing in the way of tools and material. The storehouse of c. D. Parker ignited several times, but was quickly extin- guished by the water bucket brigade. The entire loss will not exceed few hundred dollars, with no insurance.
