by:
Mrs. Emma r. Little, who is in
Dunedin, Fla, keeping house for
Mr.. J. r. Brumby, is suffering here

H0KE SMITH SPEAKS
IN MARIETTA FRIDAY

On Thursday and Friday of this
week the boys Corn Club and the
Girls Canning Club will hold their
contest at the Courthouse. Many
of the boys are reporting exception
ally good yields and it seems that
The average for the County will be
fifty bushels per acre or more.
Everything is ready for the show
with a good program on for Friday
when Hon Hobe Smith will address
the boys and girls at 2:30 p. m.
Miss Parrish viii address them at
1880 p. m. The ladies Of the Civic
League win feed them at 1890 p. m.
What more could healthy boys and
siris ask?
The exhibit of corn will be sent
from here to Rome where it will be
entered in the Syenth District Corn
show. w know that our boys will
give a good account of themselves
there.
The good people of Rome will take
our boys and girls into their homes
and care for them free while there
and many of the boys are going to
take advantage of this opportunity to
learn more about corn and what our
neighbors are doing by attending this
show. If those who wish to go to
Rome will get together in Marietta
on Friday and give their names to
Mr.. Creel he will try to get them a
special rate.
Don't fail to come out on Friday
and see what the boys and girls of
Cobb County are> doing. We think
that many farmers could get lesson
from the report of these boys and
girls. When you see these boys and
girls making a profit of from $4,000
to $4,000 pr acre we think legisla-
ton to control the acreage of cotton
would be absolutely unnecessary.
Each boy and girl reporting will
get premium for their efforts.

Sig Mnntha Of the Tariff.

Summarizing the results of the first
six months operation of the new
tariff, as shown by the official figures
of the department of commerce, the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun says: Imports Of manu-
features have materially increased.
the quantity of manufacturers ma
terial drawn from abroad has been
greatly reduced, exports Of the prod
ucts of American manufactures have
fallen off and the receipts from Gus
toms are far below the normal
Moreover the main object for which
tariff revision was sought has not
been accomplished. 1t has not ma
terially reduced the cost of living
Never did a tariff law have so fair
an opportunity as this one. 1t is a
consistent measure, embodying very
few compromises, such as caused
President Cleveland to refuse to sign
the Wilson German law and as made
it very uncertain whether President
Taft would not veto the Payhe-Al-
drich act Public opinion was dis
posed in its favor, and it has suffered
but very mild political attack. The
policy OF those opposed to it has been
to let it be tried out fairly and let the
results show for themselves

PARTY IN SEN|LiTY
SFcyressives Apparently Near
Their Last Moments.
In the Position They Have Assumed
They Seem contented to Be
Counted as Merely Assist
ant Democrats.

By confning their efforts to the
northern states the Progressives con-
TESS that only Republicans are their
foes. They carefully leave. the Democ-
racy's strongholds unenallenged. So,
with all their valiant words, they re-
main essentially Just assistant Demo
Gratis, as they we're in 1912.
Look at it from whatever angle you
like. it is difficult to see the politics
that wins in the politics that pursues a
merely personal revenge for a fac
tionai defeat and that goes out first
to destroy the originators, creators
and widely accepted exponents of the
party principles professed, Or if such
politics wins the immediate contest
it certainly does not, in all human
experience, build UP great party.
Always forgive" those who have
been your foes when there is a chance
to work with them, and never forget"
those who have been your friends, are
fundamental maxims of permanently
successful politics.
Somehow or other the youngest Of
American political parties reminds the
philosophic observer of an unguided
youth of too easy fortune, whom pre-
mature precipitation into a heady
round of lobster suppers and late
hours has made old before he became
full grown.
With all respect to the jealous
minds and earnest hearts in its ranks.
the Progressives as a party seem TO
be showing plain signs of a premature
degeneration into senility.

Earliest Arc Llnhts.

A recent historical exhibit of arc
lamps and electricity in Cleveland. o..
has brought out a bit of interesting
history in connection with the pioneer
arc lamp system built by G. f. Brush.
The first demonstration of these lamps
was made In the public square OF
Cleveland during the summer Of 1876,
and afterward in the fall Of the same
year the apparatus was set up at the
centennial exposition at Philadelphia.
The exhibit at Cleveland was extern
sively advertised in the newspapers,
and on the evening the demonstration
took place thousands Of people assem-
bled, most of whom carried pieces OF
smoked or colored glass to protect
their eyes from the arc lamps rays,
which were expected to rival those OF

Madison.-F1nal valuations and as
sessment of the property OF street rail-
way companies and light. heat and
power companies operated in connec-
ton with them was made by the tax
commission ard entered upon the roll
as constituting the assessment for the

amount Of taxes levied against these

$210.s52 greater than for the year
1913, the valuations being increased
s6.900.00o and the rate of assessment
increased from .11S3243701 TO .013s7-

pared with $51, 490. 0O0 in 1913 The
total amount Of tax levied is $50, 104.
as compared with $500, 252 a year ago.
The tax resulting from this assess
ment is to be divided SO that Is per

So per cent distributed through the
municipalities in which the utilities
assessed are located. This division
gives the state s121.5 and turns over
to the towns. cities and villages al

The largest assessment is that made
against the Milwaukee Electric Rail
way & Light company, the value OF

tax assessed $409, 2s4.02. OF this
amount $61, 1892 is retained by the state
and $347 ,S91.42 is returned to Milwau-
kee and other municipalities in which
that corporation operates. The prop
erty of the Milwaukee Light. Heat &
Traction company is valued at $780,
900 and the tax assessed is $106,S30.-
OF.
The valuation placed upon the
Southern Wisconsin Railway company
is an even $1.OOo.OOO and the tax
amounts to s13,S74, Of which $2,0s1.11
goes to the state and s11,792 to Madi-

The Bull Moose party was founded
on a personality, and rests on that
personality today. If Mr.. Roosevelt
had persisted in the Brazilian jungle
and all are happy chat he did not--the
Bull Moose party would have collapsed
completely. Its principal object is his
return to the White House.
Since November. 1912, in every
showdown at the polls the Republic
ans have exhibited heavy gains, the
Bull Moosers heavy losses. In some
localities the Bull Moose party has all
but disappeared. Still. what remains

Saving worth While.

The house committee says that
100000 a year could be saved by
cutting OF leaves to print" undeliv-
