The citizens of Newton county
will hold a mass meeting on Dec.
20 to formulate plans by which
the people of the county may be
relieved of heavy and unneces-
sary burdens of taxation now
resting upon them" If the citi-
zens of this county are burdened
with taxation it must be for
county purposes. There is no
heavy burden resting upon any
county in the state for taxes paid
for state purposes. Under our
system of valuation very few
appraise their property high
enough for them to feel any
burden in supporting the govern
ment of the state. By examining
the auditors report for 1918, we
find that under the last assess
ment Of lands which was in 1913,
the average valuation of lands in
Newton county was $500 per
acre. With a six mill levy for
state purposes the land owners
of Newton county pay only three
cents an acre on their lands.
That is, a man with 100 acres
pays a state tax Of So. If the
county suffers from excessive
burdens of taxation it must be
where the levy is made for coun-
ty purposes. In this case, when
the money is judiciously spent,
there is seldom cause for COM
plant of the tax levy. Where
money is spent building good
roads and other internal improve
ments few mistakes are made by
which a county suffers.

The result of the second prim-
airy to decide on the nominee of
the party in Tennessee was held
on the 18th and it resulted in the
election of Nick ellar by a major
ity of 20, 900 votes. 1t has been
evident since the first primary
that Ex-Governor Patterson
stood no show to win the nomin-
alton. The defeat of Patterson
and Lea opens the way for demo-
cratic harmony in the state.
Lea won his toga by a combina-
ton with independents and Re-
publicans and had Patterson been
successful in the primary he
would have had a hard fight to
win in the regular election. The
Independents and Republicans
would have joined together to
compass his defeat. Mcclellan
is a new man in state politics,
with a good record as a member
of the House and his selection
will result in quoting Tennessee
politics.

ship cotton over the line of the

lived near Crawford, Lowndes

placed on board the train and
sent to Mobile. Esq. Martin has

A wireless message from Oscar
II from mid-ocean, announces
the fact that perfect harmony
does not prevail among the Ford
party. When President Wilson's
message of preparedness was re-
ceived and discussed, a resolu-
ton was prepared by one of the
peace advocates condemning the
President for his position and
message. This resolution was
met with opposition by Judge
Ben Lindsey, of Denver, and S
S. Mcclure, editor of McClure's
magazine, who are of the party.
The farther this party gets away
from home the more ridiculous
appears the mission upon which
it is bent. 1t is evident that no
organized effort among them can
be exerted in behalf of peace
among the warning nations and
the only result possible is that
Henry Ford may return home
with his pocket full of orders for
automobiles.

MiSSiSS,PPrS CENTENARY

From the Department of Ar
chives and History, the director,
DR.. Dunbar Rowland, has issued
a brochure setting out in a most
comprehensive manner the rea-
sons why the centenary of Mis-
sissippi should be appropriately
celebrated.
Mississippi was made a state
on Dec. 10, 1917, President Mad
ison signing the bill that brought
Mississippi into the sisterhood.
DR.. Rowland, responding to
suggestions as to how the Gel
ebration should be conducted,
says:
Il am of the opinion that Mis-
sissippi's centenary should be
statewide; every county in Mis-
sissippi should have an active
part in the anniversary. Begin
ming in April or May, 1917, every
town and supervisors district
should conduct celebrations in
some central school building.
These community observances in
the counties of the state should
be concluded with a grand cele-
bration at the county seat with
addresses, recitations, patriotic
songs, pageantry, etc. There
should, also, be exhibits of his
torical objects, such as Indian
relics, household articles of pi-
oneer days, old firearms, early
methods of transportation, such
as the family coach, covered
wagon, etc. A display of Con-
federate relics should be made,
such as uniforms, flags and all
makeshifts of the war; in fact,
everything that would give the
people of the present day a clear
idea of the struggles, hardships,
privations and daring of those
who made the commonwealth.
on December 10Th, 1917,
a celGgation for the entire state
should be held at some place Sc
lected by the legislature"
A contest is now on between
the cities of Natchez, Jackson
and Gulfport as to which should
have the honor Of holding the
centennial. Natchez, which was
the capital Of the state at the
time she was admitted to the
Union, will make a strong
fight for the centennial on
this ground. Gulfport secured
the privilege of celebrating the
centennial from the legislature
of 1912. Jackson bases her claim
on the fact that she is the present
capital of the state and the most
central and logical point for the
centennial. An appropriation
will be asked by the legislature
and it will be left to this body to
decide whether or not the state
will celebrate her centenary and
where.

The cost of all-year driving has
been so materially reduced by the in
PRODUCTION of the New Mitchell de-

owners are coming to realization
that the automobile is no longer a

The demounta BILE sedan top means

fact that for a very slight additional

material increase in the winter use

The price of s165 for the detack-

appreciated when it is remembered
that an outlay of from s4OO to s700
was formerly required to obtain a
car Of the enclosed type.

CADILLAC'S LARGEST
ENCLOSED CAR YEAR
Increased Tendency Among Buyers Is
to Favor Models Which Protect
Them from Weather.

That the enclosed type of motor car is
steadily gaining each year in public Ia
Vor is demonstrated in the fall business
OF the Cadillac Motor Car Company. Last
year this company shipped a greater
number of its closed body cars than ever
before. and orders now on hand indica te
that this seasons business will eclipse
all past records by a substantial margin.
Among the reasons attributed by Sales
Manager Howard for the heavy increase
is the fact that people are coming to ap-
preciate more and more the great COM
fort to be derived from a type of car that
is especially adapted for service every
day in the year.
He said further. that the eight-cylinder
engine was also responsible to some ex-
tent because II runs 50 smoothly that the
duh. heavy rumble associated with en-
closed types of cars becomes a nesli-
gible factor in the Cadillac

The brougham is particularly inter-
esting model. 1t has one compartment
with two doors on each side, instead of

terizes the one-compartment type in gen.
eral. The individual front seats have a
passageWay between. SO that passengers
may exchange seats without leaving the
car. Having four DOORS entrance and
exit to and from the car is facilitated for
all the passengers. The AUXILIARY seats
