FAREWELL MEETING.
w. Nj. Society Gives GOdspeed
TO Young Lady Bound for Brazil.

Kinpstree is to have a missionary
in far-of Brazil. Miss Leila Epps,
who has taken a thorough course of
preparatory training for the work at
Scarritt Bible and Training school,
Kansas City, Missouri, was recently
assigned to that field of labor and
will leave shortly to assume the du-
ties incumbent upon her as teacher
in Christian Bible school.
Friday afternoon the Woman's Mis-
sionary society of the Methodist
church held a special meeting at MIR
w E Jenkinson's home, at which
most of the ladies of the town were
present. Delightful refreshments
were served and there were num-
Der of heart-to-heart talks made and
fervent prayers offered for the guild
ance and encouragement of this de-
voted young Soldier of the Cross,
who, with no thought of self, ven
lures forth into a veritable ferr" m
cogAitn, SO far as we in this! part of
the world arc informed.
Miss Epps expressed herself as
being perfectly happy now that the
dream of her life to be missionary
is about to be realized. Her simple
faith and unaffected loyalty to the
cause were touching to those who
heard her speak for the last time ere
she has traversed half the circum-
ference of the globe and returned
a journey mayhap never to be ac'
complished, so uncertain are human
lives and affairs even at best.
All hope that Miss Epps may. ac-
complish great good and that her
self-sacrifcing zeal may be richly
rewarded. At the farewell meeting
all expressed the hope that she might
truly fare we'll in that distant land,
to whose bourne she will soon be
bound; all wish her bon voyage and
safe return in due course of time.

Help Yourself by Helping Us.

We hope the friends of The Rec
ord, when they come to town to do
their trading, will patronize the busi-
ness houses that advertise in this
paper. Remember that without these
liberal merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
of subscription would be at least So
a year for such a paper as The Rec
ord. You'll find, as rule, that the
men who advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
not advertise. This applies not only
to Kingstree, but many live and up
to-date business men of Lake City,
Scranton and Greelyville recognize
the pulling power of an ad in The
Record. tt

 The management desires to call es- |pecial attention to the boy violnst, fer This lad Is without doubt the most taented youthful musician now before the American public. In the Nayas troupe of gymnasts the audi ence will see the most difficult faats of strength performed with agility and Igrace that is surprising, and in Rose |snd Mack there Is a character team Fo, excelldd by any comedians m vaudeville.
 Five acts will be presented and the reserve seat sale will open Monday Imorning. Two shows will Del given in the evening, which wi be tihe custom throughout the season. AL thougn the management is all ready for the opening, the bill received TOT the last half of the week will be leqaally as good and is sure to arouse the same keen interest from t.e p2- irons of this theater as did the open ing show.

TEST LAW ON
 ASSESSMENTS
TO DETERMINE WHETHER TuR. NER-JAco6soN LAW IS IN EFF.
 FEcT NOW OR NOT.
Arkansas Tax Commission Through Assessor of Pulaski County Takes
 Matter to the Courts.

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The Arkan- sas Tax Commission decided to file "a petition in the Pulaski Chancery Court, asking that William M Moore, assessor of Pulaski county, be re. strained from certifying to the coun ty clerk his assebment of the public utilities in the city of Little Rock, and that he be ordered to assess the properties of those corporations as re- quested to do by the tax commis sion.
 The objection of bringing this suit is to test thel question as to whether the Turner-Jacobson bill is in force Charles c. Reid has been employeu as. special counsel by the commission 10 bring dhe suit
 t is contended by the commission that the Turner-Jacobson act is now In full force and effect, and is not subject to submission to the voters of the state having been approved by the governor prior to his affixing his signature to the act providing for the manner of submitting to the peo- pie measures under the initiative ano referendum amendment to the consii- tuition.
 The commission holds that if the Turner Jacobson act is d law, all assessments made under the lod law, so far as the duties requirad of the commission is concerned. would not be valid. One of these duties required of the tax commission is the assessment of the property of public utilities.
 Thd property in Pulaski county, which the tax commission insists upon assessing is that of the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company, the Pulaski Gas Light Company and the Arkansas Water Company.
 Assessor Moore refuses to recog- nize the right of the commission to make these assements on the ground that the Turner-Jacobson bill which gives this authority to the commits sion is not law.
 1 Mir. Reid stated yesterday that the question involved was not a political one in any sense, but one purely of law. If the Turner Jacobson act Is lin full force and effect, it should De ascertained at once" he said. Fl it should be decided that it $ the as sessments of the properties of pub lie utilities under the old Jaw would be clearly invalid, which would re, suit in no end of confusion.
 The suit of the commission was to have been flied in the Chancery court yesterday but on account of the ab- sence from thel city of Attorney ten eral Hal Norwood it was decided not Ito file the suit until Saturday.

night and prance all over the place in
his pajamas, though the man would
positively refuse to do 1t for bis wife
or his employer, or the President of the
United States. Men who have never
sung a note in their lives and would
fight at the suggestion from anyone
else, will sing half the night when re-
quested to do so by a mere baby with
no particular eloquence at its command
Babies are the greatest gamble in the
world. 1t costs 5000 to raise a baby
and you never can tell whether IL is
going to be worth 5000 or 30 cents
when 1t grows up. However, If 1t is a
girl, you can almost find some young
man to take a chance on her in that
other great gamble-matrimony
Babies are very feeble and could be
completely demolished by a strong man.
Yet they often live for ninety-five years,
which Is more than any strong man
can do. But babies do not smoke
cigars. drink cocktails or eat nineteen
griddle cakes at a sitting. Feed a babe
on lobster Newberg and 1t would soon
fade away. Strong men grow old and
feeble on beefsteak, while small babies
grow big and strong on milk alone.
There are three kinds of babies-cow
babies, tin babies, and home talent
babies.
Babies are not often given the con-
sideration they are entitled to. Among
today's babies are the presidents of
1860, the steel kings of 1850, the base
ball stars of 1910, the aviators Of 1880,
and the golf champions of 1885.
