STORM AT BOWMAN.
Cattle Greek Camp Meeting soon.-
Interest in Politics.

Bowman, Sept. 12.-Special-A
storm of unusual severity passed oy-
er this section of the county on Fri
day evening. The rain commenced
at five in the afternoon and contin-
ued until 11.30 that night. The rain
fall at this place was 1.S inches, but
was much heavier further on. The
streams were swollen and in some
cases bridges were washed away.
Mr.. Jas. l.. Punches met R. F. D.
Carrier No. to tell him that the
usual crossing was impossible and
to cross Cow Castle Swamp at the
old dam near Shiloh Church. Mr..
Punches says the rain in his neigh
.borhood was the largest since the
August flood. Only q little cotton
was open so not much damage was
done in this way.
The political interest Of the COM
munity centers on the race for Gov
ernor, both candidates having strong
friends in the community. II is gen
orally conceded that Featherseone
will lead Blease at this precinct.
Cotton sold here quite freely last
week and at fairly good prices COM
pared with that Of the other mar
kets.
1t is only a few weeks now before
the Cattle Creek campmeeting will
begin. The usual interest seems to
be manifested in the meeting at this
old historic ground, and everybody
seems anxious for the time to come
around" where friendf meet friends
who are only seen year after year at
this time. Dundee.

WANTS THEM STOPPED.
Advertiser Orerburdened With An
sWers to His Ad.

SWeTS W nlS t1Os
About a week ago Mr.. j. N. Hall,
prosperous farmer living out on R.
F. D. No. S, came into our Office and
had little 25-word ad inserted in
the want columns of Tie Times and
Democrat twice for 25 cents. On
Monday he came back and asked that
we let the people know in some way
that he had already bought his horse
He says that some days he received
as many as five and six replies 70 the
ad, and In all he received between
twenty-five and thirty replies. This
ad was inserted in The Times and
Democrat alone, and by this little
25-word classified advertisement he
received all these answers. Could
anything be more conclusive proof
that advertising in The Times and
Democrat pays? If you are interest

SETTLES CONTROVERSY OF DIS
TRlcT OFFICIALS; INCREASE
VALUATIONS AND LOWER
GENERAL TAX.
"Drys" to Hold Conference at Lans-
ing; Statewide Prohibition to
be Considered.

What is believed to be a measure
that Will increase the assessment OF
certain corporation property through
out the state and lower the general
tax rate. was handed down i'm an
opinion by Atty.-Gen. Bird He says
that under the law governing the
point the state tax commission has
the power 10 review any and ali as
sessment rolls. with a view OF In
creasing the property now under
valued, placing unassessed valuations
on the rolls and generally supervising
property and its taxation.
This opinion settles the long dis
pute there has been between county
and district assessors and the tax
commission. Some time ago the as
SCISSORS appealed to the legislature for
protection from the commission, de-
claring that the latter body, by indis-
criminate changing of the rolls. as
prepared by the assessors, caused
trouble from taxpayers, who believed
they were not being fairly treated.
The Legislature altered the law TO
provide that the commission could not
review an assessment roll unless
there had been written complaint
from some taxpayer. The power of
which 1t was deprived by this meas
ure is returned to the board by the
attorney-general's opinion.
The district assessors declared that
the actions of the commission, before
the passage Of the law in question,
brought on several damage suits
against the state by corporations
whose assessed valuations were being
changed

NO" replied the truthful suito-.

swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants TO be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half of his work, and
no little brother to make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head
aches. There won't be any younger

novel while she does all the work.
