Injunction to Stop Collection of $50
Per $1,000 Dismissed.
The injunction suit filed in the SUI
perior court of Baker county several
weeks ago by C. E. Norris of New
ton and M. A. McRainey of Elmodel,
seeking to permanently restrain the
collection of the special tax of $25
per $1,000 levied on property in the
county, has been dismissed by Judge
Park.
The case was one of the hardest
fought in the history of the county.
The levy of the tax of $25 per ST.
600 grew out of Baker county's I'M
fortunate experience in connection
with the issue of bonds for the cree
ton of a new court mouse. The pro-
ceeds of the bonds were lost through
bankruptcy of the firm to whom the
contract for building the court house
had been let, the bonds having been
turned over to the firm to be sold.

THE PEACH BROWN ROT.
Government Issues a Bulletin Tell
ing How to Destroy 1t.

Government Issues a Bulletin Tell
ing How to Destroy 1t.
A remedy for the peach brown
rot" which is recognized as a most
destructive enemy of stone fruits,
is being advocated by the national
department of agriculture, and bull
letin describing remedy and method
of preparation has just been issued.
The peach Drown rot" is a fun
gus disease, and it is widespread
and very destructive to the peach
crop. The loss which it inflicts on
peach growers will easily average
$5,000,000 yearly. The loss to the
peach crop of Georgia alone is es-
timated at several hundred thousand
dollars a year.
Much work has been done with
remedy for this trouble. Spraying
with diluted Bordeaux mixture has
been most commonly recommended,
but its injury to the foliage has
made it unsatisfactory, since the
remedy must be applied during the
growing season.
The peach scab Gotten called
"black spot") is another disease
which seriously effects the peach
crop in all sections east of the
Rocky Mountains, although not
causing such serious losses as brown
rot.
AS the result of experimental work
by the United States department of
agriculture a cheap and simple rem
edy for this disease has been found
in the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash.
This can be applied during the grow
ing season with very little danger of
injuring the fruit or foliage, and it
IS very effective. Furthermore, by
mixing arsenate of lead with the
fun-gicide the curcuilic can be de-
stroyed at the same time.

Progress the Negro Has Made
Since Emancipation.

COLUMBIA, S. C.-Prof. R. R.
Wright, president of the Georgia
State Industrial College, in his
speech at the recent South Carolina
Race Conference discussed the prog
ress of the negro race in the south,
and the extent to which the negro
has contributed to the prosperity Of
the south in support of the move
ment for the proposed semi-centen-
NAL emancipation exposition.
'The negro constitutes about one
third of the population of the south,
said Prof Wright, "but I fear he
does not begin to do his share in the
development of the agricultural, in
dustTial and commercial fields. 1t
seems to me that the pathway to
agricultural and industrial success is
less INSTRUCTED in the south than in
any other part of the country.
mot that the scarecrow Of negro
domination on account of the legis-
lation of the SOUTH and because of
the yearly increasing white popula-
ton, it must be clearer to the negro
than ever before that he can devote
his time to moral, intellectual and
material development more than
ever before. In this he can have the |
unstinted aid and encouragement of |
his philanthrOpic southern white
friends, Who will help him to be a |
more useful factor in the develop !
ment of the resources of the south. |
Thanks White People.
"The negroes could never have
made the progress they have made
had not the southern white people
aided them. Every sensible negro
recognizes the fact that more than
half the praise due for this progress
should be given to the white people
of the SOUTH" said Prof. Wright.
Il do not know what the future
may hold in store for us of the
south, but it seems to me that our
happiness and destiny are in the
hands of southern white men. | had
a letter little while ago from my
old master, who, by the way, had
not seen me since l was eight or nine
years old, in 1865. Though l was
born in Georgia, he lives in South
Carolina, and is connected with some
of the most prominent state and ma
tiOnal officials. His letter is almost
like that of a father to his favorite
son. He inquiries about my mother
and brother and about my success"

BOWERS STILL ARGUING
DISCUSSES CORPORATION TAX
IN SUPREME COURT.
Says Levy Was Legislatively In
tended as Excise-Cites
Many Decisions.

The concluding arguments in the cor
porat1on tax cases are being made today
before the Supreme Court of the United
States. As yesterday was consumed in ar
attack on the law, most of the time today
will be devoted to a defense Of it.
Solicitor General Bowers continued his
argument in favor of the law when the
court resumed its sitting at 12 o'clock He
had more than three hours time. but part
of that was to be occupied by William D.
Guthrie of New York., The final argumen.
in the contest was to be made by John G.
Johnson of Philadelphia. who closed the
argument in the Standard Oil case.
Solicitor General Bowers marshaled a
long list of decisions of the Supreme Court
Of the United States, which, he said,
showed that the tax was legislatiyely in
tended as an excise. that the exact sub
iect of the tax was the conduct or trans
action of business and that net income OF
the business was not the subject of the
tax, but affords merely a measure of It's
amount. All these. he claimed, showed
the tax was not direct one.
Goes Into Details.
He begged the court to bear with him
in going into such details, saying if he
convinced them the tax was not direct
tax, which would be unconstitutional be-
cause it was not apportioned according to
representation. only two questions would
be left for consideration. These would be
questions concerning, public service cor
porations and the question of uniformity.
