sPOTSYLvANIA. VA. Sept "a
The assessors Of lands for Spotsylvania
county have made report OF their
work for 1910. excepting the assess
ment of the mineral lands. which by
act OF the last Legislature are re-
Quired to be assessed separately. The
reassessment as at present returned
shows the taxable valuation of the
lands to be $l.sso.323.ls. as against
$1.2s7.S75.66 for 1905, which shows
an advanced assessment over that of
1905 OF sS2.444.53. When the report
OF the assessed valuation of the min
eral lands shall have been returned
the taxable value will be very greatly
increased.
The assessors had nearly completed
their work before they were advised
Of the law requiring a separate as
gessment OF the mineral lands. and
hence much confusion was produced
In tho making OF the original books.
A new record of the assessment OF
the mineral lands will now have TO
be made. which will be contradistinct
from the report now in.

DANVILLE, VA, Sept 24-Sales of

chiefly to the continued favorable
weather for cutting and curing and
storing the new crop The bulk Of

the crop generally is much better than
was anticipated a month ago, the
timely rains then being followed by
excellent weather for maturing leaf.
Generally the tobacco liz OF good body

week have been lighter. hardly equall-
Ing hundred thousand pounds. and
practically all OF it consisting of prim-

quality. Prices hold up well, owing to
more than usually strong demand.

OF the crop and the small stocks on

has been small. but at satisfactory
prices.
Heavy Sales Shortly.
With a favorable season now some

be coming to market, and In a fort
night sales will begin to become fairly

COUNTY ATLAS.
Many Subscribers Part With
SIS UnwilIingIy.

Several hundred of the subscribers
and near subscribers to the county
atlas published by Geo. A. Ogle &
Co., of Chicago, feel that they have
been swindled.
The atlas costs SIS, and three able
bodied men are at present engaged in
delivered them and collecting the $40,
and thereby hangs tale.
1t must have been in the summer of
1907, that George A. Ogle & Co. sent
their representative here first. He
represented that he was undertaking
to get sufficient subscribers for a
county atlas, which would be just a
little the best thing ever devised in
atlases-to contain a complete direct
ory of the county with locations 'of
farms and postoffice addresses, reli-
able statistics of the county and a
county history of real value, maps
and plats of townships and villages,
showing all roads, rural routes, tele-
phone lines, etc. Business men were
asked to promise to buy such a book
at $15, if enough subscribers were Sc
cured to justify the expense.
Anumber of business men subscrib-
ed, and tine work then rested until
the summer of 1908, when solicitors
were sent out thru the county, and
signatures obtained for the atlas.
Many reliable farmers now allege that
these signatures were obtained under
the grossest misrepresentations.
The book has now been published
and three collectors are here closing
up the deal and gathering the returns.
We understand that they are past
masters in the art, and in spite of all
the dissatisfaction, they get the dough.
The first gentlemen who calls is one
OF the incest fellows we ever met. He
delivers the book and secures his pay
with the minimum of discomfort to
the payor. But if he fails, he is fol-
lowed by another and he again by a
third, and these men make it a prac
tice to get the money, even if the
feelings of the payor are injured
somewhat in the transaction.
The atlas is very ordinary affair of
its kind and contains enough errors to
sl7oase that the work was not thoroly
done. 1t is worth-wel1, like every
thing else, it is worth what the seller
is willing to take and the buyer is
willing to give.
