with regard 20 the attitude of Greece
Various reasons are assigned for
Greek reluctance 70 sign the armistice.
According to the Greek minister at
Paris. Greece opposes the proposal
that the besieged garrisons shall be
provisioned during the armistice, ana
thinks that the allies ought TO have
Insisted upon their surrender.
There is no doubt that Jealousy ex-
lists between Greece and Bulgaria
Greece asserts that the Greek neet
PLAYED an important role IN the war
especially in preventing Turkey from
moving her troops % sea, and ina
without her naval assistance the al
lies could not have achieved such
brilliant success. The race between
the Greeks and the Bulgarians for the
occupation of Saloniki and the Incl
dents which followed this increased the
ill-feeling and now the Ireeks con-
sider that their interests are oslne
sacrificed in the peace negotiations
II is expected the armistice protocoi
will be signed some time Tomorrow
but it is possible that this may dc
still delayed.

RAnAoADs 60 TO COURT
SAY ADVANCE IN ASSESSMENT IS
CONFISCATION.
Raise on Railroad Property by the Com
mission Will Yield the State Add
tional Revenue of $4,000.

The railway lines in Mississippi
whose property was advanced forty per
cent in assessment by the railroad COM
mission have not announced their course
Of action, but a report is current that
litigation is likely to follow the remark
able advance from $50 ,0OO, 900 to $780,
100000, and that the common carriers
will resist payment of ad valorem taxes
this year on constitutional grounds;
that they will allege, first, that the adj
vance amounts to confiscation, and, Sec
ond, that it is in violation of the con-
stitutional clause which provides that
taxation shall be equal and uniform
throughout the state.
1t is pointed out that if the same ratio
of increase should be applied to all other
property in the state subject to ad
valorem assessment that it would make
the total amount of property subject TO
assessment reach the enormous total Of
$685. $40 900, and, instead of Gov. Brewer
going to New York to borrow money to
meet a treasury deficit, the state would
have money to loan.
The twenty million dollar advance on
the property of common carriers will
yield the state additional revenue OF
100000. This is Aot the total amount
for which the railroads will be taxed
however. The average ad valorem tax
rate on railroad property, including
state, county and municipal taxes, is tw'
and one-half per cent. On this basis
the increase will raise additional ieve
nue. amounting to a half million dollars
If all property in the state shoul'
be subjected to a flat increase of fort.
per cent, the total revenue thus raise
would be $15,350,000.
It is claimed that there is no un
formity in the increases made, and
strong fight will be made on the Groun
of inequality.

WAREHOUSES; PROSPEROUS
DIRECT DEALING BETWEEN THE
FARMER AND SPINNER.
More Than Fifty Warehouses Now Lo.
Gated in Mississippi-New Plan
Cuts Out the Spectator.

Jacksonville annual meeting of tina
stockholders OF the Farmers Warehouse
Company was held here. The reports
showed the concern to be prosperous.
It is the famous plan of direct dealing
between the farmer and the spinner.
which was recently Endorsed by the ma.
tional president of the Farmers Union.
Charles S. Barrett, and the presidents
Of the Faremrs' Union in all the cotton
growing states, who met here a few
weeks ago, investigated the plan, and
decided to Nationalist it as the onlv
feasible and safe, non-speculative plan
by which the farmer could have an in
fluence in the making of the price of
cotton. Most of the stock is held by
farmers and those allied with them.
It has been in operation four years and
has some fifty or more warehouses over
the state of Mississippi. In pursuance
of the plan to nationalize the idea,
which originated with President George
r. Hightower, work has started in
North Carolina, and the system as a
brapch of the Mississippi concern is now
being started with flattering prospect;
of success. The concern has been selling
direct to the spinners in Europe, receiv
ing the cotton from the farmer and ex
porting it, cutting out the middlemal
and the Spectator. When the system
spread it is hoped by it the price of cot
ton can be influenced.

misunderstanding to a statement

j. N. Powers, there will be no prelimi-

ductors and faculty this year, as Gus
tomary, ahead of the normals. 1t has
been decided by the board of education
that it would be best to hold these con-
ferences every alternate year, or during
those years in which the legislature
meet, and this will give the faculties
more time in which to prepare for the
especial work imposed by these summer
normals, after disposing of their regula,
school duties, as all are engaged in pub
lie school work.
The normals will all open at the same
time, or on Monday, June 10, and con
tinue until July 5, giving the usual fou

Laurel.-Dr. Hughes was called out to
the farm of Tom Reeves, near the cotton
mill, by a report that a large tield VI
cotton there was infested with boil wee
wills, and that Mr.. Reeves proposed to
pillow it up and plant something else
When DIR. Hughes reached the field he
found the boil weevils all right, four of
them, according to his count, and he
says that no serious damage will bs
done by them, if they are handled right.
As to blowing up cotton this early in
the year because a boil weevil happens
to be foundry, that's preposterous.
