sUMTERS PROMISING TAX RETURNS

Recently tax returns from number
of South Georgia counties have been
made and have been published, so that
the people of this section may see in
practical manner what the tax books
say concerning progress in the SOUTH
ern part of the state. AS has been
pointed out, a number of counties show
no increase in returns, but this is not
true of Sumter.
Under the present tax system it IS
very certain that when a county has
shown by its tax returns an increase
in tax values, the increase in tax
values is much larger than the in.
crease shown in the returns. This
would be true under practically any
Sy olSLu VI LdAdJlOu, WHICH Is SUN Iul
Their proof of the fact that Sumter
county has shown growth the last
year that is exceptionally good and
steady and sure.
Not only is the fact that so MANY
counties of South Georgia failed to
show increases rather deplorab'e
commentary ON this section but it Is
also an even stronger commentary up
on the unfortunate and inadequate
method of taking tax returns in Geo.
gia, for which there seems to be no
relief. The tax equaliza-
ton board is what is needed, and 4
should be the desire of every citizen of
south Georgia, as we'll as in the other
sections of the state, to bring about
this happy contamination.
A contemporary, the Savannah
Press, gives the following comment on
the situation:
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-08-10

Sixty-seven counties in Georgia have
forwarded their tax returns for the
year to the authorities in Atlanta and
it is reported that only % of these
show gains over last year. Thirty
nine counties show material losses.
And the loss is much greater propor-
tionately than the gain. The total
losses amount to 100000 and. over.
while the gains only foot up a little
over $2,5OO,OOO.
1t seems to us that there are too
many south Georgia counties in the
list that show deficiencies for the
year as compared to the year before.
We know that south Georgia is pros
porous and it doesn't look very good
to us to see so many counties in this
section coming forward with lessened
property valuations.
1t indicates that an inexperienced or
Indifferent man is behind the taking Of
these assessments. We are all prone
to put pretty low valuation on our
holdings when We face the man with
the record book in the tax assessors
office and some of us have to be en-
couraged little to make values what
they really are.
1t is such showings as have been
made by these counties that have i'm
pressed the people of the state with
the need of a tax equalization board
The state must do something to get
the correct returns on taxable prop
erty in both the northern and south
ern sections of Georgia, but we DO
not like to see south Georgia marked
by the unenviable record which it
seems to have made in this instance

(Womans Home Companion)
The better babies" movement is a
movement toward the Improvement Of
children by means of baby shows
where babies are judged according TO
their physical condition rather tan
according to their beauty. Hundreds
of these shows are being held in the
United States this year, and in ear /
case the children are judged precisely
as live stock is jurged-according to
strict score card prepared by clai-
nent physicians. Of course the mott
important part of these shows is the
opportunity they afford for distribut
ing among mothers practical scientific
suggestions for the care of children
This is being done with thoroughness
and great success.
There is an account of two success
full contests organized and managed
by women of Knoxville Tenn, ami
Des Moines, Iowa Following is al
extract from the report of the Knox
vile show
The final feature proved truly
dramatic. First, the physicians had
found a perfect baby, Sidney June

GEORGIA BABY BEST

Chastain, aged twenty-five months, son
of a successful young business man
and a mother who springs from fine
Georgia stock, an ideal American boy.
When the youngster was pronounced
perfect half dozen medical. men took
him in hand and put him through a
second and more rigid examination.
But there was no shaking that first
verdict Sidney June Chastain had
scored the maximum possible on the
better babies score-card, one thousand
points, one hundred per cent.
st was hard for physicians and
committee members to keep the seer ct
but the feat as accomplished, and
when the announcement was made in
connection with the prize award, ap-
plause shook the building. Sidney and
his proud but astonished parents were
asked to come to the platform so that
the audience could see them. The lit
tie lad received not only the first cash
prize in his class but two silver mugs.
in recognition of the fact that Sidney
was the first child to reach the stan
dards of weights and measurements
set in the better babies standard

Our obese contemporary, the Con-

such parenthetical notes as laugh

THE SOUTH AND THE CURRENCY
BILL

when the South harvests a
cotton crop worth a billion dollars
it needs a lot of money to pay it's
hands and meet the planters 9TH
er obligations. This demand for
money creates a scarcity and in
terest rates go up. In some local
itiesc no loans are to be had at all
commensurate with the needs. So
the crop is dumped on the market
for what it will bring. 1t has been
estimated that responsive financ-
ial system would enable the
farmers of the South to save more
than a hundred million dollars in
a year, through their ability to
hold the crop until they could
market it to better advantage"
Simply and sincerely, the Kansas City
Star thus presents the South's pecul-
lar interest in the cause of banking
and currency revision. While every
section of the country is in urgent
need of more elatsic monetary sys-
tenn, the South is desperately so, for,
here the value of our natural wealth
and of the very sources of our mater
al well-being is crushed and held
lown for the lock of money and cred
It in crucial seasons. Not only the
farmers but also the workers in every
field of commerce and industry feel
he burden and the injury of such con-
litions.
The action of the treasury depart
nent in offering between twenty-fiv,
and fifty millions of the Government
money to Southern and Western banks
On terms that can easily be met re-
Iieves the situation for the immediate
future. But the important thing is
that such relief should be permanent:
ly available. The pending currency
bill, if enacted, will make the special
grant of the treasury department au-
operative whenever occas-
ion demands. The administration $
measure should have the support of
everyone who is sincerely interested
in currency and banking reform on
general principles; it should have the
support of all Southern Congressman
and Senators because OF this sections
peculiarly urgent needs.-Atlanta
Journal.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

1efiin, of Alabama, long and con-
tinued applause on the Democratic
side" was heard. Mr.. Hefiin is Dem
ocrat.
But exclaimed Mr.. Mondell, the
Record for that day made no mention
of the loud and continued applause
on the Democratic side" Nor, said
Mr.. Murdoch, the Progressive leader,
did the Record mention the general
hilarity ON the Democratic side" They
asked that these insertions should be
made by way of correction.
Unfortunately for their desire to
show the suffragists that Democratic
applause was for the "antis," Repre-
sentative Hardwick, of Georgia, OBJ
jected to the proposed correction, AMI
in his earnestness struck at the very
spice of the Record. We quote from
the Record:
l do not think the Congression-
al Record ought to show these
things at all. (Applause.) It ought
not to show applause one way or
the other. 1t involves us in Just
such controversies as this. In my
judmment the Record ought to
show only what is actually said in
debate. (Applause)

THE EXPERIMENT STATION

There is evidently a considerable
sentiment in the Legislature in favor
of moving the state agricultural ex-
pertinent station from it's present To-
cation to some place in south Georgia.
The station is not giving satisfaction
and apparently the national govern
ment desires that it be moved to Ath-
ems in order to have it close to tn :
State College of Agriculture. But II
1t is to be moved at all certainly it
should not be moved even further
away from South Georgia than it $
now.
1t has been claimed that the station
does not serve South Georgia, the
more important agricultural section
of the state, as we'll as it should.
South Georgia is developing more
rapidly than North Georgia. It's agri-
cultural output is destined to be al
ways far greater than that of North
Georgia.
If the station is to be moved the
question of an appropriation for new
buildings and land will arise and It
is doubtful if the Legislature at pres
ent desires to maks such an appropri-
alton. But sooner or later if the sta
ton in its present location does nor
give satisfaction the effort to remove
it will succeed. And if it is ever re-
moved South Georgia's claim to it can
hardly be denied.-Savannah News.

The refinement of the dainty woman
shows itself in her boudoir apparel, and
in these days of pretty, inexpensive ma
terials and trimmings there is no reason
why every feminine wardrobe should not
boast at least one very dainty dressing
sacque.
OF course. the best models are executed
in costly fabrics and trimmings, crepe
de chimes hand embroidered linens. silks,
satins, etc. There is not one of these
designs, however, which can not he dupli-
Gated most effectively in cheaper ma
terials.
Cotton crepe ornamented with collar
and cuffs of sheer lawn with hemstitch-
ing and a dainty net edging makes de-
lightful peignoir. In the instance here
illustrated the sacque exploits novel
idea. satisfying the ultra-smart demand
for cretonne trimmings.
In addition to the dainty lawn collar
there is a broad rever also of lawn, hav-
ing the design from a bit of cretonne
worked into the corner with buttonhole
embroidery. Another less troublesome
way of producing the same effect is to
outline valenciennes or other dainty lace
designs with colOred threads. This APP
plique trimming is repeated In the cor
ner OF the overlapping side of the sacque.
For woman of average size it re-
Quires about two and one-half yards OF
forty-four-inch material to make this
dressing sacque. At 80 cents yard. the
crepe would be $1.25. A yard and half
of lawn at 30 cents a yard would add 90
cents for the cost of the collar and cuffs.
while the net ruching may be bought by
the yard, two and one-half yards being
