NEPHEW QUITS RACE
TO AID HIS UNCLE
A. Neal Williams Retires From
Contest for School Superintend-
ent in Wythe County.

a Neal Williams. nephew OF Attor-
ney-General Samuel w Williams, Is
sued formal card yesterday retiring
from the contest for Division Superin
tondent of Schools for Wy,hoville, In
order not further to embarrass the cam
raign of the Attorney General for re-
election Tho card follows:
After consultation with my friends.
and obtaining their consent. have de-
termined to sacrifice my own ambition
for school superintendent OF Wythe
County, and TO relieve my uncle, Judge
Samuel W. Williams. from any possible

Judge Williams was roundly criti

Wythevillc. but also in other sections
OF the state when the contest in which
his nephew was a candidate was one
OF the eleven cases passed by until
cate in August after the state pri-
mary, when the State Board Of Edu
ca rion of which Judge Williams is
member. held its recent elections IN
Richmond. The reason for the post
ronement was not given, 1t merely be-
ing stated that the elections in the
eleven contested cases would he passed
by until the August meeting Of the
state Board OF Education:
Cox Is Jubtlant.
There have been frequent rumors in
the past few days that Judge Martin
Williams n brother of the Attorney
General would retire from his candi-
dacy for the speakership in the event
that certain aid were thrown to the
Attorney General. No announcement
to this effect has been made. however.

liant over the outlook, and speak with
certainty of his election Is Speaker.
In order to avoid the belief that the

Clerk Williams is regarded as one of

The Tax Blanks.
The tax blanks furnished the tax
payers are Intricate and confusing. The
difficulty Is that the various kinds of
property subject to taxation are not
clearly classified and properly grouped.
This criticism is peculiarly applicable
TO the direction for the return of In
tangible property. Many taxpayers do
not know exactly what they are to
return. and commissioners OF the reve-
nue. apply diverse and conflicting in
corporations 10 the directions. Much
uncertainty therefore exists as to the
head under which certain property
should be returned. The returns could
be much simpl!hed by clearer defini-
