MILLIONS COMING,
STICKS TO HIS JOB
Section Hand Reads an Announcement,
Then Resumes
Tamping.

Springfield, III, Aug. 14.-Newton Me-
Grath, a section hand on the Wabash
railroad who lives in Buffalo, village
near here yesterday received more in
one mail than he would have earned in
$3.50 years at his present occupation.
AlcGrath, holding his tamper and
shovel, tore open letter from New
York law firm advising him that his
share of the S50,000,00O Mercer estate,
in which he is an heir on his mothers
side, is about sl0,000,000. He read the
letter several times, stuck it into the
back pocket of his overalls, spat upon
his hands and resumed tamping.
For years McGrath has been telling
ineredulous village grocery store loung-
ers that some day he would be mil
lionaire. Nobody believed him.
McGrath says his mothers mother was
a Mercer and married an Austin. Her
sister remained unmarried. To the spin
ster was left property in the heart Of
New York City, which with rising real
ty values increased to its present worth.
Four years ago, upon the death of the
grand aunt, action was started to APP
portion her estate among the heirs, who
are McGrath and his brothers and sis

This the Proper Way, De-
clares Expert Peck
inpaugh
HE SPEAKS AT
SAN FRANCISCO
Before a Conference of Tax
Men - Points Out Weak
nesses in Present Laws

San Francisco, Aug. l4.--The proper
limitation for taxation is one which al
fects not the tax rate, but the amount
of money to be expended, said A. b.
Peckinpaugh, member Of the Ohio state
tax commission, in an address before the
national tax conference here yesterday.
The speaker discussed the movement in
Ohio during recent years where a tax
limit was passed in 1910 which attempt
ed to prevent increasing the tax rate
over the previous years. The first year
of its operation showed that while val
uations increased l49 per cent, the aver
age tax rate decreased 1853 per cent.
The signal mistake of the law, he said,
was in attempting to limit the rate rath-
er than the amount OF money to be
raised. The speaker cited Instances
where the law had no deterrent effect
on expenses while many growing com
munities were actually seriously injured
through inability to secure absolutely
necessary funds. In other words, a rate
limit law served of no real benefit unless
some provision were made for those To-
calities with impoverished tax lists and
also for progressive growing communi-
ties which Justly need increased levies.
The proper limitation was one which af-
fects not the tax rate but the amount
OF money to be expended and provided
that this should not exceed the amount
in the previous year plus some fixed per
cent except in emergencies. The ques-
ton of emergency, he concluded, should
be submitted to some local board whose
power also to grant increases should be
limited above which the vote of the peo
pie should be necessary.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, June 14.-The
past week has been fine weather for
harvesting the small grain. This
crop seems to be very good one,
and is much needed. We hope to
soon hear of the price of flour going
down, as we see the wheat has taken
fall, so those that have to buy can
buy at living prices.
| believe there is going to be a
great change, | see in my travel more
small grain than | have seen in sew
eral years, and l belive the acreage
of cotton has been cut great deal.
| surely believe the number of bales
will be cut short this fall for l know
of many farmers that did not use any
fertilizer and it is telling, so that is
very good way to cut the number
of bales, l believe.
/ was in Cherokee county last week
and there is a good deal of cotton to
thin out yet. But saw large fields of
corn and it looks fine, and more land
being prepared to plant corn.
There was mad dog in this COM
munity last night, fighting and biting
dogs as he went, killed small pup
for Mr. B. J. Kelly, also bit a dog for
Mr.. 7. B. Kelly. He had his dog
killed and that is the way to stop
them, kill the ones that get bit.
