TAX RATE IN OHIO
 CUT TWO THIRDS
NEW REVENUE LAW DID IT
HARMON REFORMS REDUCE AVERAGE RATE FROM 30 TO
 LESS THAN 10 MILLS.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 17.--A report by the state tax commission shows that the Smith one per cent tax rate law and other taxation measures. en. acted by the legislature in response to recommendations and persistent efforts by Gov. Harmon, have reduced the average tax rate of the state fol 1911-12 to 9.7 mills-in 1910 the aver. age rate was 30 mills-a much lar. ger reduction than was anticipated It was brought about by uncovering hidden property and increasing prop. erty that had been too lightly assess. ed.
 In 3,014 taxing districts of the state the rates are below 10 mills Before the Harmon tax reforms they ranged from 15 to 30 mills. In the remaining 1519 taxing districts the rates are between 10 and 15 mills whereas, heretofore, they ranged from 30 to 60 mills.
 Reporting the operation of the one per cent tax law in Mahoning county (Ohio), the Youngstown Vindicator says: Many pleased expressions in the treasurer's office the last few weeks have shown how the one per ent law strikes Mahonin gcounty tax payers. The new law is working out as Gov. Harmon predicted, and nine tenths of the county tax payers are paying considerably less this year than ever before. Farmers and home owners who went to pay the usual amount have been surprised to hea1 the size of the tax bill the county haC against them. Many farmer who paid S10 last year, got off with S4 Others found they owed only half as muh as before. The way the new sys. tenn is working out has made Mahon. ing county tax payers feel that nc other reform so important has beer accomplished in life time"

SHERIFF JOHNSON
 COMPLETES ROUND

Sheriff J. s. Johnson is today mak- ing his last appointment in the rural townships, for the collection of the taxes of 1911, at Lavender school house in Benedict township. He will return tonight and Monday will keep the books in the precinct of the First ward of this city. Tuesday VII be spent at the Third ward precinct, and on Wednesday the collector will make go to his office at the courthouse to remain until April 10, when the books will be closed. A new law passed by the last legislature will make it inn peratlve for taxpayers to settle their accounts with the collector on or be- fore the last day, as a penalty of 10 per cent will be charged against the collector for each tax receipt he re- cords after April 10. Heretofore it has been customary with many tax payers to file lists of the property on which they desired to pay and settle with the collector at some time before he made his settlement with the coun- ty on the first Monday in July.
 Sheriff Johnson stated last night that the collections this year were considerably lighter than usual and a greater per cent than ordinarily will have to pay their taxes at the courthouse.

REACTION FOLLOWS
 AN EARLY ADVANCE
Cotton Market Compara- lively Quiet-Cl0se
 Barely Steady

New York, January 29.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet today and once more an early advance in- spred by firmness in Liverpool was fol- lowed by reaction under realizing by early buyers of little southern sell ing. The close was barely steady, net 1 point lower to points higher
 Tho market opened steady at an ad- vance of 6Q9 points in sympathy with un- expectedly firm cables, a continued good spot business in Liverpool, covering by Saturdays late sellers and some foreign buying. Realizing quickly checked the upward movement. however, in the ab- senee of any aggressive support and sub seqnent fluctuations were more or less irregular with the close at practically the lowest level of the day. although there appeared to be no change in the general character of the news. The south was only a moderate seller here during the session, but offerings from that source were rather freer in the last half hour and seemed to come chiefly from Memphis, Europe, or houses with European connections, traded both ways but only on small scale, and it looked as If business was mostly local. Private cables attributed the firmness of Liv- erpool to small offerings, trade buying. continental support and nervousness among shorts. Reports from Boston In dicated renewed violence among the strik- CTS in the textile mills at Lawrence, Mass, but otherwise reports from the domestic cotton goods trade were consid- cred favorable as indicating better vol ume of business. Rain was reported in the south. being particularly heavy in sections of the eastern belt and the posl sibility of renewed delay in the move ment, or further damage to cotton in the fields probably helped to restrict sell ing after the market had eased off from the early advance. The larger interests who have recently figured prominently in market operations appeared to be do- ing very little during today's trading

SCHOOL
 MEETING CLOSES

Roanoke. January 29-( -(Speeian-Yester- day closed a most successful four days session of the Sunday school in- stitute conducted at the First Baptist church for all the schools of this viein- ity under the direction of the Alabama Sunday School association There were present during the session Messrs. D. ". Sims and Leon C. Palmer of Mont gomery, and Mrs. $. r. Moore of Blr- mingham. Addresses were made each afternoon and evening. which were of practical nature and resulted in much inspiration to those who attended. Ths address of Mrs. Moore Friday evening upon the theme, "The Greatest Thing In the World" was an unusually im- pressive production. The attendance was large at every service, and 1t Is believed that good results will follow the work of this institute.
 The basketball team of the Randolph county high school came over from Wedowee today, accompanied by large company of frlenB and engaged the Roanoke High school team in tho second match game of the series. The game was very exciting and resulted in d score of 10 to in favor of Roan- oke.
 A large amount of cotton has been brought to Roanoke the past week, due to the warm weather and the fact that the price has been close around and al the 10 cent mark.
