WOULD REDIsrRiBUTE
PUBLIC ERvICE TAN
Campbell Russell. State senator from
wsncr. Has Another Idea from
Which He Believes We
VIII All Benefit.

Senator Campbell Russell OF War
ner is developing movement to Sc.
cure the distribution OF the taxes re-
ceived from public service corpora
tons among all the school districts
in the various counties. instead Of
among only the districts where the
property is located He bases his ac-
tion upon the constitutional amend
ment. section 1aa. which provides
that the taxes received from public
service corporations shall be divided
among the school districts OF the
counties in proportion to their school
population. This amendment was
adopted in 1918. but the last legisla-
turc failed to pass a law vitalizing
this section OF the constitution.
Senator Russell is a specialist in
the distribution OF taxes he is the
father Of the idea Of distributing the
taxes received from gross production
OF oil among she counties which pro-
QNNt an NlA--AAt hfaruAN NAANA u,
receiving such violent opposition
from the great oil-producing coun-
ties at present His fundamental
idea Is that The public service cor
pOrations are maintained for the
good OF all Of the people without ref
erence OF their immediate location
with reference to the property. taxes
received from this property should
also be used gor the benefit OF all
the people. rathe rthSn the few whu
happen to be located near the prop
erty.
An amendment repeating the
Campbell Russell amendment was
submitted by the last legislature. but
Mr.. Russell expects to secure the vi
talization OF the present amendment
by an initiated bill and at the same
time defeat the repeating amend
ment.

THE OLDEST BALE or
COTTON IN THE WORLD

AVAAVAN ~ AAAn aNVANAaAF
The editor Of the News has re-
ceived the following interesting COM
municatlon from Mr.. Walton storm.
OF the cotton firm OF Johnston.
Storm q Company. Of New YORK
City.
'Mr. Theodore Price. in his paper,
Commerce and Finance (Which most
cotton people subscribe to). has re-
Gently started discussion in refer
ence to the oldest bale Of cotton In
the world. While this discussion
does not affect our present market,
II is OF interest not orly to the cot
ton trade but to Northern investors
and people outside OF the cotton belt,
in that Il shops the fmper.ahable
qualities OF Gotten and the invest
ment possibilities that cotton gives,
as the only commodity OF its kind
in the world that can be held indef-
initely without deterioration.
I'VE have in our possession a sam
pie Of a bale ginned in 1S62. This
cotton was picked by slave labor
ginned and placed in a ventilated
barn and kept there Tor a number OF
years. At the death Of the owner Il
was placed in a local warehouse II
South Carolina by the son Of the
raiser. and has been held by him
largely out Of sentiment to his faith
er's memory.
''we,are very anxious to find old
