TAX COMMITTEE
OF COUNTY COURT
JUDGE M'KNlGHT NAMES JUS.
TlCES TO REPORT LEVY
FOR THIS YEAR.

Judge Mcknight, Of the county
court, has appointed the following
committee to report the tax levy for
1915 to the county quarterly court at
the April term Justices Mullins,
Davis, Ricketts,, Guest and Wilkes, of
the fifth. This committee will meet
some time before the next term of
the court for the purpose Of fixing the
levy. There has been some discus
sion of an increase in the rate. One
prominent member OF the committee
is of the opinion that the rate should
be raised in order that the indebted
ness of the county may be liguidat-
ed at an early date. This should eth.
or be done, In his judgment, or the
property of the county should be as
sessed at higher valuation than now
obtains. He has despaired of the
latter, however, and would increase
the revenues of the county by high
er rate Of taxation. Two Of the mem
bers of the committee, Justices Rick
etts and Wilkes, also served on sim
liar committee last year. The total
county and state tax rate Ii now s1.35
on the 800 OF valuation.

ARCHITECT MORREIL
MAKES INSPECTION
Of THE POSTOFF|CE
INSPECTED TODAY THE REPAIRS
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
RECENTLY.
SUPERVISED ITS CONSTRUCTION
Was the First Job As Architect That
He Had After Entering Government
Service--Not Known What Hio Re-
port on Local Work Will BE.

Charles B. Morrell, supervising ar
chitect of U. s. postoffices, is here fol
a day or two to look over the repairs
that have been made recently upon
the Columbia postofice
1t will be remembered by many
that Mr. Morrell supervised the con
struction of the local building. It was
his first job in the government ser
vice and as it was an unusually good
one, he takes great deal of interest
in the repair and upkeep of the Local
Office. This morning, as soon as he
arrived at the Office, he dotted his
street clothes and put on d pair OF
overalls in order to make a very thor
ough inspection of the work that has
been done on the building. The re
pairing was done largely upon the
roof, the old railing having been re
moved, and tin roofing put on to pre-
vent leaking. The work was done by
local contractors.
Mr.. Morrell is supervising the con
struction of several other postofices
in the state at this time. He goes
from one place to another, seeing
that all of the work is according tc
the specifications drawn by the gov
eminent.
After a thorough examination Of
the work that has been done; MR.
Morrell will make report to the de
partment at Washington, either ap-
proving or rejecting it. He did not
state this morning whether his report
would be favorable or unfavorable.

BREAD PRICES ARE
(
NOT YET ADVANCED
BY LOCAL DEALERS
HOWEVER, THE PRESENT SITUA.
TON Is A MOST UNsATIS-
FACTORY ONE.
WILL HAVE TO MAKE CHANGE
Sudden Increase in the Value Of Flour
Makes 1t Certain That Sooner or
Later the Price of LoaVes Must Be
Raised.

Local bakers have neither increas-
ed the price of their bread nor de-
creased the size of the loaves. One
can buy just as much bread in Colum.
bia today as he could last June when
-four was worth $4 per barrel while 1t
is now selling at $7.25, with the pros
Ipect for still further advance.
The bakers, however, admit that
the situation is not a satisfactory one
and they will not predict what may
happen in the near future. With the
belief strong that flour is due to take
yet another advance, the bakers will
simply have to do something. AS 1t
lis they are losing money on their
bread. That fact was frankly stated
this morning by one of the leading
bakers Of the city.
1t stands to reason, ne argued, thai
with only reasonable margin of
profit on bread, before the recent big
advance in the price of -four, bread
could not now be sold at the old price
without losing money The loaEes
may be reduced in size, which Is the
most probable course, should any
change be made or the price might be-
slightly advanced 1t is more likely.
however, that the loaf will be cut in
weight for there will still be a ua-
jority of customers who will want the
nickel loaf.
In spite of suggestions in various
sources of investigations by the gov
eminent where bread prices have
been increased, 1t is plain to the
way faring man that the bakers are
up against it, to use common IL
rather inelegant expression. There
is no mystery at all about their troub-
lies. When raw material doubles al
most in price it follows as a matter
| of necessity that the finished product
has also substantially increased. In
self-defense It looks like bread win
have to be sold for more than 1t has
been bringing and assuredly through
no fault of the bakers.

Butter Suffers Sharp Decline and is
Weak >on the Local Markets
at 1874 Cents.

All fowls are taking a decidedly
upward tendency on the local market.
Hens are now bringing nine and one
half cents, turkeys are worth twelve
cents, ducks are in demand at ten
cents and geese are strong at nine
cents. Eggs continue firm and in
splendid demand at thirty-two cents,
with the receipts unusually light In
fact there are, comparatively speak.
Ing, no eggs coming to the markets.
The hens are apparently on a strike,
but by the first of the month decid-
eddy increasing receipts are expected
and the market is due to show some
weakness from the present stiff level.
Butter suffered sharp decline in
Chicago this morning, and dealers
here are quoting only sixteen and six
teen and one-half cents.
There are no changes in the local
flour and grain markets.
