COBB TAX RATE
FIXED BY BOARD
Assessment for County Purposes
Agreed Upon By the
Commissioners.

The Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues, at the PECULIAR monthly
meeting held Tuesday fixed the rate
of taxation for county purposes at nine
ty cents on the hundred dollars for the
present year. This is an increase of
five cents over the assessment for last
year, and, is the highest rate paid by
the Cobb citizen since the new court
house and jail were paid for.
The State tax for the year is the
same as for several years past, which
is five mills, or fifty cents on the hun.
dred dollars-this beirg the constitu-
tional limitation.
Therefore, the taxpayers of the
county will be called upon to hand over
the counter to the collector this fall the
sum of one dollar and forty cents for
every one hundred dollars worth OF
property owned by him on the first day
of last March.
This sum will have TO be added to
by those males in the county under
sixty and over twentyone years of age
in the amount of one dollar-the poll
tax.
Then, too, the dog-owner comes in
for one dollar for each canine lying
around his yard, and the professional
man will be called upon to contribute
an additional ten dollars for the sup
port of the best government the sun
ever shown upon.
All this, of course, means but little
to the cotton-rsiser if he secures fifteen
or twenty cents pound for the staple,
but the fellow in town, living out of
paper sacks, will have to hustle to
keep off the ledeer's red side
But little other business was trans
acted by the commissioners, and this
was the regular routine. Purchases of
hardware for the month of September
was awarded the Dobbs Hardware
Company, and that Of general supplies
to Garrison Il Son.
The total amount of accounts passed
up for the month of August was 81

One of the striking features of the
farm, however, is what is known Is the
milking-shed or house. This is of
concrete throughout, even to the floors,
and the posts and stalls are of iron.
Nothing can be added to it from
sanitary standpoint, and is kept scru-
pulOusly clean This in not difficult
task, no wood being used in the build
lag, and the cows only allowed 10 re-

this they are turned either into the

where in winter they are thoroughly
protected from north and northwest
winds.

~ UST off the English coast, in
the Channel by that name, are
~ three islands Attorney, Guern-
sey and Jersey-the chief and
almost only industry of which is
the breeding and sale of dairy cattle.
For centuries have these people devot- !
ed themselves to this one line, with
the result that these several breeds
take highest rank over the world in
butter and milk production.
TheAmerican breederand dairyman,
as a general rule, prefers the Jersey to
her cousins, the Attorney and Guern-
sew, and it is this breed that has been
imported so extensively into the Unit
ed States in years gone by. But few
are now brought to this country, how
ever. the American breeder claiming
that the standard here is equally as
high, if not higher, than in the little
cows original home. Certain it is
that some wonderful records in butter
production have been made by Ameri-
can bred Jerseys, some being in ex-
cess of twenty-five pounds per week
from a single COW.
IL is conceded in the Jersey cattle
world that climatic and other cOndi-
tions in the South are so nearly alike
to those of the little island in the En-
glish Channel that the mild-eyed Jer-
sey attains the highest results under
Southern skies. 1t is for this reason
that, since the war between the States,
there have been established and main
tanned in this section most valuable
herds of Jerseys, and the improvement
in the cattle in these particular neigh
! borhOOds has been most marked.
Even in South Georgia and Florida,
where, few years back, it has been
stated, the owner of a drove of native
cattle, would have to drink his coffee
without cream, and where, it has also
been claimed, because of the scarcity
of milk, the calves had 10 be brought

In Cobb county are several farms
where the little Jersey can be seen at
her best--herds that excel both III high
standard of lineage and in individul
merit-and have become a paying in
vestment to the owners.
Possibly none have spent more time,
study and money in this particular in,
dustry than Mr. Robert H. Northcutt,
whose farm at the foot of Kennesaw
mountain, two miles north of Marietta,
is the home of one of the very finest
herds OF high. bred Jersey cattle that
can be found III the entire South.
The location of the farm for this speci-
fc purpose is ideal, and nothing has
been left undone in the way OF inn

GRAFTON the holding Of tho Panama Canal
exposition IN Washington.

1t could not well consider intelllgently
any definite plans toward financing the
enterprise until Il had in hand all the
available facts regarding the probable
cost Of launching the exposition and
maintaining It.
BY motion, H. p. +. mcfarland, who
presided. was authorized 10 name a com
mittee OF six 20 gather information upon
the subject ana report 70 the joint COM
mittee when II had finished its labors.

tee is composed Of r. c.. Graham, Scott
c. Bone. and Z. c. Brandenburg. OF the
Board of Trade. and Charles J. Bell
James F. Oyster, and Robert n. Har-
per, Of the Chamber OF Commerce. 1t
was also included in the motion that
Chairman Mcfarland should be ex ofico
a member.
Until this committee is ready to submit
its report there viii be no further meet
ings OF the joint committee. With the
information. which It is expected 20 have
at hand within a short time through
the efforts OF this committee, 1t expected
that plans for financing the enterprise
can be taken up and a determination
reached whether washington will have
