TAX BOOKS Still. OPEN.
Returns Will Be Turned Over to the
Board of EquaIizers May list.


Tax Receiver Laing has completed
his rounds, but there are yet few
returns to be made, which must he
done by May list, when the books will
close.
Mr.. Laing says property has been
returned at about the same valuation
as it was last year, and the aggre-
gate values will show practically no
change. There has, however, been a
big slump in the valuation OF dogs,
the S25 and $50 pointers and settlers
having all disappeared.
On the first of May the tax returns
will be delivered by Mr.. Laing to the
newly created board of equallzers'
who, under the law, will examine
them for the purpose of eqalizing
values.
The Terrell county board of equal
izers is composed of B. F. Melton,
w. S. Thornton and ]. H. Pritchard,
and they desire and ask the cooper
alton of all citizens in their work.

Statistics show that not more than
ten per cent of city jewellers who
are colonized on farms become per-
manent residents of rural sections.
They yearn for the attractions of the
city and dislike exceedingly the work
that farm life entails. And so the
record made by a number of colo
nists under the direction of promi-
nent Jews of New York and Phila-
delphia is surprising because SO per
cent of them have stuck to their
new calling.

Brick Highways,

After having expended $50, 1000
roads the state of New York is about
to begin upon the expenditure of
another $5O,OOO,OOO, derived from
bonds, for the building of highways,
says the Industrial Index.
AT this juncture Governor Glynn
of New York has submitted a mes
sage upon the matter that is of gen
eral interest. The governor urges
that roads built in New York state
in future be constructed of brick with
concrete base.
According to the governors esti-
mate macadam roads cost $4,000 to
$4,000 a mile, concrete roads from
$12, 200 to $4,000 and brick roads
with concrete base $4,000 to $25,-
900 a mile. Despite the higher initial
cost the brick roads are the cheapest
by far in the opinion of the New York
executive, who estimates that if mac
adam roads are built they will be
entirely worn out long before the
bonds are paid-that is, the state will
have no improved roads in a compar-
atively few years, but will have a
great road debt.
As desirable as brick highways
might be it will be a long time before
Georgia can afford them.

S16O, 100000 SPENT FOR
GOOD ROADS IN 1913

From Farm and Fireside.
The good roads movement has re-
suited in the expenditure of great
er amount of money on the roads
in the last year than ever before.
In 1904 the total sum expended on
public roads in the United States was
about $8O,OOO,OOO. In 1913 it was
more than 100000. The great
est progress in road building has
been made in states in which a part
or all of the money is drawn from
the state treasures. The great
problem from now on is to see that
the money is wisely expended with
out waste and without graft.

gratifying information to Kora Tenn

ton of whether or not the ambitions
of some other prominent members of

choice of Mr.. Stevens as it has in some
previous years in regard to the sue
cession of some others. Mr.. Stevens
has been on the line to this high Of
flee for nearly a dozen years and has
been sent by Kora Temple as dele
gate to every session of the Mystic
Shrine from East to West, throughout

this large body of members of the I'M
perial Shrine has been so great. how
ever, that he has gone steadily toward
the top.
J. Putnam Stevens was one of the
original founders of Kora Temple, was
its potentate during the most success

proved insufficient and militia Off

The Proponents DIRE

Up Hope-=Review
OF the Case
Proposition Lost by Dissent Of
Town Of Richmond

Bath, Me-, May 12.-(SpeciaD.-
Chances look slim for the rebuilding
of Merrymeeting bay bridge and those
who were standing sponsor for its re-
given up hopes of its ever being built
1t will be remembered that the last
Legislature appropriated s30,000I for
the rebuilding of this bridge washed
away by the big freshet of 1896, pro-
viding $4,000 should be raised by
Richmond, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham
Topsham and Bath. All towns raised
their proportionate share of this
amount with the exception of Rich
mond. The amount assessed against
this up-county town amounted to a
trifie more than $500 but the PROPOSE
ton was lost at the last townmeeting.
1t was suggested by numerous in
terested parties that the Sagadahoc
county commissioners ought to insti-
tute mandamus proceedings against
Richmond to compel it to raise its
share of the $4,000 to agree with the
county vote in favor of the PROPOSE
ton taken last September. The COM
missioners felt it wise, however, to first
consult with the State Highway Com
mission and the matter was finally re-
ferred to Attorney General Scott Will
son. AS nearly two months have pass
ed since this reference was made and
nothing has been heard, proponents of
the bridge proposition are beginning to
lose faith that it will be rebuilt this
year at least.

News reached Washington through
official sources tonight that General

forces outside Vera Cruz, suppressed

This news caused all manner of
speculation around the state, war and
navy departments. Some officials were
inclined to attach special significance
to the move, seeing in it evidence of
Huerta's intention to strengthen his
position around the great port occu-
