EACH STATE SHOULD CHARTER
OWN LAND MORTiiAGE RANK

Mr.. itardinR's Idea Is that each state
should charter and supervise It's own
land mortgage bank. require it's official
TAX collectors to make collections and
induce local banks TO act as agents In
their respective communities The
only fees paid would be those TO ap-
praisers and TO attorneys for cxamin-
ing titles to property
An adequate system of rural credits
Is inscparabl" bound up In any solution
of the problems of farm tenancy, crop
divcrsincation. Inadequate school and
church facilities, which your South
ern Industrial Council is TO discuss"
said Mr.. Harding to a representative
OF the conference.
II would have the State charter the
land mortgage bank, whose stock
should be non-taxable. That feature
would constitute its first advantage
After paying per cent. dividend and
Carrying "A certain portion to surplus,
the balance Of earnings should revert

OLD DOCUMENT.

Through the kindness of Fl. G. Sa.
bine we are in receipt of the list OF
| property and polls assessed in the OLD
tenth district in 1857. The assessing
was done by N. A. Gardner and the list
came into the hands of Mr.. Sabine by
virtue of his having been appointed
administrator of the Gardner estate.
There are entered only 81 persons
who were subject to poll tax Most of
the land was assessed at fifty cents an
acre, and in some instances less than
that. There is column In which is
listed "saw and grist mills" and it
shows there was one such mill in the
district, owned by Jas. A. Basket, and
1T was valued at $500. On the list are
such familiar names as: Day, Nara
more, lIedgeeeth, Renfro, Manning,
Kindred, Kindrick. Klmbrous h, King,
Lewis, Moppin, Brown, Smith, Gar
dener, Hodge, Hembree and Others
The assessor not only provided his
own paper but he ruled it to his nc
tion and arranged 1t as suited him.
In this instance Mr.. Gardener used a
sheet OF the old fashioned folded and
ruled letter paper. He drew lines per-
pendlcularly on the paper and arranged
the following columns: "Persons
Names, No. Acres, Value, Saw and
Grist Mills. Value. Polls" The docu-
ment is yellow with age and is going
to pieces. 1t is nearly fifty years old
and might be of interest as relic to
some of the relatives of Mr.. Gardener.
They can get it by calling for 1T.

NEW RAILROAD.

The surveyors of the new railroad in
the north part of the county have got
ten as far as Wolf Pen branch IN the
old sixth district. The idea is to ex-
tend the road either to Jamestown or
Crawford, IN the edge of Overton
county.
Old rails are being used and the lndi-
cations now are that the road is only
intended to be used for getting out the
large quantities Of lumber of the Sec
tion it traverses and that when that
work is completed the road Will cease
to be used and the rails removed.
There are many millions of feet of
marketable lumber in the section 1t
traverses and it will take several years
to remove it. In the mean time the
road will be of great benefit to the
people in the north end of the county
and at the same time furnish market
for ties and other timber that could not
have been handled with profit without
a railroad.

PASSENGER VESSEL TORPEDOED

An Austrian submarine torpedod and
sunk an Italian passenger vessel in the
Mediterranean sea last week. OF the
5O7 passengers on board 299 were
saved Of the ten Americans on board
only one was saved. The Ancona was
said to have on board several lmmi-
grants for this country.
Austria admits responsibility for the
act and claims that ample time was
given fer all passengers to be removed.
On the other hand it is claimed that
nothing was known of the presence Of
the submarine until shot hit the ves-
sci and that the submarine continued
to fire on the vessel and so badly scared
the passengers, besides wrecklng sew
eral OF the life boats, that many of the
passengers perished by drowning while
attempting to enter the boats.

CURE FOUND.
year.

1t has been definitely announced by
the government and leading physicians
that pellagra is caused by one-sided
diet. Where people eat lean meat,
beans, eggs, peas and similar protein
foods pellagra does not occur and a
careful diet of foods containing large
per cent of protein is regarded as a
sure cure for the disease The death
rate from pellagra has been second only
to tuberculosis and pneumonia in some
sections.
DR.. V. L. Lewis informed the editor
OF the Chronicle some months ago that
he was treating cases of peIIagra in
this county and by giving them a prop
erly balanced diet he found they were
recovering and that he fully believed
the disease was caused by one-sided
diet.
A recent test on the Mississippi con-
Wet farm has convinced the medical
profession that the disease is one of
diet and the cure is also dietary one.

can get it by the wagon load any time
they choose. Reed & Burnett are only
