concerns by State Revenue Agnen,
Johnston.
The amount of taxable values
alleged to be due by these firms
was over S30o0.O0O. The main

was sustained was that the con
Germs were foreign. though there
were o.l,sr strpng joints. The sui
was instituted through 8. A. With.

that there will be 10 appeal. A
number Of cities and counties have
already refused to levy the tax or

THE BUsINss OUT LOOK.

Business in the South was hit a
hard blow last year by the war,
The price OF cotton at the opening
of the cotton season in 1914 was
around six cents per pound with
demand limited. As cotton has
been the money. crop Of the South
for a haif century Or more the de-
probation in the price, ,sof forty
to City per cent meant fearful
loss in the income Of the Southern
cotton producer. who is the foun
dation Of Southern busidess pros
perity. The result was business
stagnation ror = time and all lines
OF business in the South suffered.
But. the demand for munitions sf

gagged in war and the uses Of war
and the mses Oft tcot'on in the man

Southern farmers have reduced

COTTON MARKET GROWING
ACTIVE.

Never before has the internatiom-
al situation had such bearing on
the cotton market, According to
infsrnation reaching officials here
there is all intimat connection be-
tween the foreign financing being
done in this country and the sale
of the cotton crop. The money is
being borrowed here to bnyAmer-
can Gotten. Very active buving
for foreign account may be expect
ed within the very near future. it
there is any relying OIL the opinion
Of WE'LL osted men here who have
no ak to grind in disseminating
bulish news.
There, is evidence that the Stats
Department has much more news
having a bearing on csston than IS
being given out. Through inform.
n channels some information IS
available If this can be relied up
on as being exact. American spin
ners should be getting into the
mar kst in a more determined fash
lion. In view OF the impending
heavier foreign purchases. it is be-
|lievsd that the best grades will
be bough up for fereign account.
A point made by cotton expert
at the Department of Agriculture
is that the best warehouse space IS
going rapidly. While there are
plenty CT warehouses to take care
of the entire crop, some Of them
naturally are better than others.
Some take a much better insurance
rate and are SO conducted as to
make the1neeotating of a loan only
