CUT IN TAX RATE QUE
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
TAX EQUALIZATION LAW

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 26.-The ten per
cent cut in the state tax rate which
has been announced by Governor SIa-
ton, Comptroller-G Wright and
Tax Commissioner Hart is being re-
ceived with great deal of pleasure by
the supporters of the tax equalization
law, in that it bears out the promises
made when that law went into effect.
The rate for 1914 will be four and one
half mills instead of the five mills now
prevailing.
The cut was made possible only by
the successful operation of the new
tax equalization law which was so
strongly supported by Governor Sla-
ton. 1t will mean a saving OF one mill
lion dollars to the people of the state
for the first year of its operation.
Under the new rate the amount to be
raised for this year will be $4030,2SJ,
which with licenses and special taxes
will run the states total income up to
S6,O99,59S 1t will bring the states ex-
penditures well within its resources
and for the first time in years Georgia
will be able to pay its current expense
as it goes.
Governor Slaton, in discussing the
new tax rate, said "My promise to
the people of Georgia has been full
filled. Every county in the state should
cut its tax rate. This is the first time
in years the rate has been cut. l con-
graduate the people and the legisla-
ture on the result.
THE control of the appropriations
Is now restored to the people who pay
he money.
THE tax equalization law is the
best alw passed by any legislature II

SUMTER TTEER'S FOLKS
WELL PREPARED
AGAINST TRUSTS
BUMPER CROP OF TUBERS
And Garden Truck to Ward
OFT Hunger

Wagon loads of potatoes upon Amer
icus' streets these August days insure
protection against the Meat Trust, the
-four and sugar combines, for, while
prices locally are a trifle altitudinous
at present, the tuber crop is enormous
and sweet pottoes, few weeks hence
will be plentiful at fifty cents per
bushel. The yield this year, owing to
favorable seasons is a bumper one
and every family can have all the po-
tatoes they can consume.
This is an important crop is Sumter,
where thousands of bushels of the fin
est potatoes are produced at trifing
cost-just that of planting and digging
the crop when fully matured. And de-
licious dishes can be made of them.
Ii Americas only had a cannery for
putting up sweet potatoes the tubers
might be kept indefinitely AS it is,
the tubers, when properly put up in
mounds, will keep through the winter.
An abundant crop OF potatoes is a
safeguard against 40 cents Chicago
bacon, for the possum crop promises
well, and anyone who cannot enjoy
roast possum with yam potatoes upon
the suburbs of the dish, is not to be
regarded as really human, anyway.
Besides potatoes, there will be a
great crop of turnips grown in Amer
icus gardens and on Sumter farms
fall tomatoes will be plentiful and even
if meat and -four maintain top prices
the folks at home will live all right
and live we'll, too

FARM FACTS

(By Peter Radford, National Lecturer
Farmers Educational & Co-Opera-
tive Union of America.)
Where there is a siIo there is pros
perity.
There is not enough of the commun-
ity spirit among our rural districts
The laws relating to business are
wholly unsuited to the transactions of
the farmer.
The waste of effort through imprac-
teal methods of farming is the great
est tragedy of the age.
Cooperation between practical
farmers and proficient business men
will eliminate ignorance and prejudice
The nations menu must be made up
from the fields, pastures, orchards and
gardens, and to farm intelligentIy the
farmer must know what is needed.
We must give the same care and
consideration to a system of co-opera-
tive laws, extending to the farmer the
facilities adapted to his business that
is now afforded corporations.
Farm tenancy is the greatest menace
now confronting the nation and can
only be checked by affording the ten
ant and the laborer facilities for &C.
quiring property and by reducing the
high rates of interest which are now
sapping the vitality of agriculture.
Under the present system of mark
citing farm products, it is possible and
aften occurs, that people in one part
of the United States literally starve
for the want of a product, while the
same product in another part of the
nation is wasting for want of a mar
ket.

AS in the years gone by,
The shades of half a million men
Now marching out to die.
They'll form themselves in battle line,
In ghostly rank on rank;
While on their steel the sunbeams
shine,
And on the guns in flank.
They'll hold their cavalry in hand,
And turn their scouts at large,
Until spectre gives command
To bid the shadows charge.
And DER the field where they shall
fight,
These weird, wan, wronged dead,
Shall flee the foe in phantom fight,
The war wrath at their head.
No sounds shall rise upon the air,
Dim with the autumn haze,
For silent are the spectres where
The flashing cannon plays.

Where smiling brooklets gently wind
Between the graves of men.

THE REASON WHY :

(Nathon NJ. Levy, in Judge.)
I'm tired of all the motor cars,
So much so that they set me fret
ting;
I'm tired of roof-garden stars,
Their singing and their pirouetting.
The tango parlors round the town,
must confess, ne'er make me
CHEEKY;
The summer girl excites a frown
And makes me nothing else but
weary.
I'm tired of all summer sports =,
No matter what the summer outing,
You'll find me always out of sorts,
And my fatigue there is no doubling
These things do make me tired-oh'
Because l read so much about them.
Alas my funds are always low,
And I'm force to do without them!

crease over the same period up to oct.

up TO the time of the war since when
numbers Of South Bend business con-
Germs have been laying off help.
The Singer Sewing Machine Co,
turned off 600 men Wednesday. The
Toy factory, however. is running more
than usual due TO the fact that Ger
man business is at a standstill and all
the large toy factories there are shut
down. The paper mills throughout
th8 northern part OF Indiana are doing
more business than usual. while other
industries which in the past were
forced to compete with foreign manu-
facturers in the belligerent countries,
are also doing more than usual bust
ness. Singers is the largest of South
Bends Industries to take off a large
number of men.
The applications for help made at
the bureau during the fiscal year Of
1914 which ended Oct. !, were 6,S43.
