GOOD ROADS CRAZE
BLAMED FOR DROPIN
STATE TAX RETURNS

d. w. Faircloth. tax collector of
Mitchell county, gave a clew to the
reason for the remarkable decrease in
tax returns for 1912 when he told Comp
troller General Wright that the $3.50, -
oO0 decrease registered by Mitchell
county was a result of the craze for
good roads.
In explaining Mitchell county's enor-
nous drop, Mr. Faircloth said that the
grand jury had appointed a special
committee to scale all returns for 1912,
and the jury's action came as a re-
suit Of the taxes levied for good roads.
OF the returns of twelve counties re-
ceived today, but two Richmond and
Carroll counties, show an increase.
Richmond comes in with a raise of
more than S1.O00,0O0 and values in Car

of them vigorously protested paying

the amount fer representing them.
J. II. Galhouse. the man who shot his
pistol twice several nights ago to
frighten away the workmen of the cleo

were the ones protesting. Attorney Nal

would not stand for it, He said he had
already agreed to make concessions
Finally he announced that il Mrs. Kune
did not think his services worth any

he had a contract with the property
owners that he was to receive 40 per

The board ruled that it had nothing

Baseball Magazine, says:
Sizing up the whole situation, 1t
certainly looks like the greatest, closest
struggle of recent years. The big
teams seem to be almost ripe for a
cathauling-the younger teams seem
ready to climb over the fences. The
Giants and their chances? Paradox
cal. AS good as the others of the Big
Three. Just as good as Chicago and
Pittsburg. Possibly better, for the
breakup of McGraw's artif1ciaIly per-
fected club may not come this season,
and one of the other two may weaken.
In short, I should call New York a
good, even chance, for g. second flag
but not a heavy favorite as In 1911.
