forced general retrenchment by In
terror banks; and the steady curtail- |
ment of credit is gradually curing |
some OF the financial ills from which |
that section Is suffering. 1t is recog- |
nized. however. that the interior banks |
will not be able to finance the crops as |
easily as usual, owing to expansion |
of loans connected with land specula- |
ton in the west. Eastern banks will |
undoubtedly be obliged to assist in
the autumn crop movement, and have
been preparing themselves according |
ly. As result of these monetary con-
ditions our bankers have been forced
to look to Europe for the financing of
proposed new security issues. While |
money is abundantly easy in both Lon
don and Paris, the placing of Ameri-
can securities has unquestionably been
delayed by pronounced foreign dis
trust of the situation here. On the
other side there has been a growing
feeling that sharp liquidation must
take place here. and lower level for
commodities as well as securities be
established before European conf
dence in the United States can be re-
stored. Such liquidation is now in
progress, in fact has already run toll
a very considerable extent. Wheat and
cotton have shown marked declines.
and the tendency is for still lower
prices. Commodities generally are de-
Ginning. Unsatisfactory as this may
be to those operating for the rise, the
country will ultimately be benefited,
and the cost of living will decline.
Both wheat and cotton will go outward
more freely and save us from the al
tentative of further depletion in our
gold supply. The situation has already
been materially relieved by this I'M
pleasant but curative process.
Our crop situation is fairly satisfac-
tory. The outlook is for full crop OF
cotton and wheat promises well. The
prospect is also for big hay crop.
The growing season is from two to
creases the perils from early frosts,
still there is ample time for recovery
OF lost ground. and it would be pre-
mature to take discouraging views of
present crop situation. Other favor
able influences are the successful plac-
ing of st. Paul bonds and city war
rants in Paris, the decline in the bank
of England rate, a good cotton report
and a sharp decline in imports which
with lower prices for wheat and cotton
and foreign takings of our securities
will interfere with further gold ex-
ports. It seems quite certain that
Europe will take our best securities at
a price. and present conditions seem
unusually favorable to the foreign
purchaser.

The Dodge Growth

The growth of this great industry makes one of
the most interesting chapters of the Nations bus-
ness history.
From cradle in an old frame mill 81 years ago,
the Dodge Company has expanded to cover about
more than 1900 operatives.
The real estate and plant are worth nearly
million and half dollars.
The company has never had an improbable
year. Year by year the business has grown more
profitable.
Last year was the greatest year of all-partly due
to general adoption Of the Dodge Line BY mill and
factory-party to national educational advertising
campaign.
The demand for the Dodge Line is permanent.

and how much the teachers are paid
Our Board of Education transacts
business behind closed doors, and we
have to get our information any way
we can.
There are twenty-one negro chill
dren to one white child going to
school in Randolph county, fostered
by the white mans taxes.
So, friend Rodgers, you can readi-
ly see that the locol school tax puts
we rural taxpayers in a hell of a fix.
Here are the words as they appear
IN the annual reports of the Ran
dolph public schools:
The teachers of long-term schools
shall be selected by the community,
under the usual conditions
The appointments of teachers for
short-term schools shall be entirely
with the County School Commission
ers and Board of Education, and no
teacher shall be appointed to school
in the community in which he or she
permanently resides.
The difference in the salaries paid
to teachers of short and long-term
schools are about $500 per month,
and teachers in two-room houses get
still $1,000 or $500 more
Now, you see, the rural schools are
singe-room buildings and can only
run five or six months; so the rural
schools get but little of the tax
money. 1t practically all goes to the
towns and negroes.
Prior to the local school tax we
supplemented our teachers and had
good f1rst-grade teachers and good
rural schools, but now we have to
use imported, refused teachers, in
competent to teach.
This high tax is what is driving
our young men to the towns Yes,
local tax has ruined our rural schools.
1t has enslaved our rural taxpayers
for the benefit of negroes and urban
schools.

LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS
PROVING A LIVE ISSUE.

Dear Mr.. WatsOn:-In The Jeff of
9Th inst, one B. B. Thomas, of Fowls
town, Ca, takes me to task for ad-
vocating local taxation for rural
schools
In his imagination he so grossly
misrepresents me, must ask a little
space in your paper to correct some
of the gatherings from his magma
ton.
I admit, first, as to my poverty,
but deny the charge that I have a
large family of children to educate.
We have had only four children in
our home. Two of them are grown.
The third has passed school age. The
fourth is in the sixth grade.
AS poor as I am, pay tax on my
little farm of something over one
hundred acres. give it in at $500
to $4,000 per acre; my mules at
$3.50 each, and other property in
proportion.
The Tax Digest shows this.
Possibly Mr.. Thomas gives in his
land for more than this per acre, if
it is similarly situated 1t is four
miles to the nearest village from my
farm.
ANY one WIN common sense can
readily see that local tax is not
money making or money saving
proposition on my part. The school
ing of the one child will soon be
done.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the part the negro
plays in local tax. In our district
the negro gets out in proportion to
what he pays in. Should we do
more? Can we do less?
Mr.. Thomas admits that their
lands were worth from SIS to $25
per acre before the tax was voted in,
and then he says that there are no
buyers at So to $40 per acre, now,
after the tax has been voted out.
This shows that the value of the
land has refrigerated in proportion
to the people. If not, why doesn't
the value Of your land increase with
tax off? Why does it keep depre-
ciating in value?
Mr.. Thomas claims that those who
vote for and advocate local tax in
his district are very poor, "have very
little property to pay tax on and have
big family to educate" Then, later
in his letter, he bounces up with

Apple Growing in North Georgia

It is true that as fine apples can be
grown in North Georgia as anywhere
in the United States, and with West
ern and Northern apples selling at
fancy prices in the Southern States,
there is no reason why North Georgia
orchards can not be made profitable
to their owners.

those who are able to pay tuition are
the ones getting it all''. If those
who are able to pay are getting it
all, where is your kick? Unless
they are in favor of ignorance in
stead of education, it is impossible
to find "the rub" For he goes on
to say that ignorance and illiteracy
run rampant through the land
Mr.. Thomas has shown by his own
statement that their lands have de-
preciated in value. Now, what was
the cause? If local tax is the cause,
why doesn't the value of said lands
squirt back up to the former price?
Wonder how their schools have
grown since the voting out of local
tax.
I don't think Mr.. Thomas can
prove that local tax caused the slump
in the land market. He might bring
his charges against "the comet
No town would dare do away with
local tax, under penalty of death to
their schools.
Don't want to make any fight on
the towns, for some of my best
friends are townspeople, and are
worthy of imitation by the country
people in establishing schools, that
are schools, by using local tax
I fail to see the common sense in
sending our children away from
home to school. The child gets out
from under the parental care, and
we have to pay high board and tut
ton. If we would spend the same
amount on our rural school we
would have better schools, and could
keep our children at home under
our own care, and country life would
become more and more attractive.
While we would be getting the same
school advantages at home for our
own children, we would also be help
ing some less fortunate parents who
are unable to send their children off
to town schools, but who are able to
spare the children to attend school.
Of course, we have to send our chill
dren off if we want college educa-
ton, ETC., but that's not the question
at hand.
Now, I don't propose to draw on
my imagination as to what kind of
man Mr.. Thomas is. The picture
would be too hideous, so prefer to
give the plain facts. AS to whether
I have borne my share of the ex-
penses of our school, I will refer him
to the county board of education of
Stewart county, Ca, to G. S. G. of
same county, and also to our present
and former teachers, E. L. Floyd and

brought with him a fifty foot hemp
rope. Some of the special scaffold

Sheriff Bart Kenworthy, Of Greenfield,
and Sheriff VIM. Jackson, OF Ottumwa.
were his special assistants in putting
everything in shape and in making
tests OF the stability of the sca1old
and strength of the rope. All kinds
of letters have been received by
Sheriff Clark protesting that he should
not take human life, that he will be
held accountable at the Judgment,
