1t is just step further to
assessing bank deposits for back
taxes" says Mr.. Davis. IF the
revenue agent sends his sleuths
to the congresses and ware
houses to get lists of cotton on
hand February / for the past six
years, there is nothing to pre-
vent him from sending deputies
to the banks, securing lists of the
balances to the credit of deposit
ors on February l each year, and
assess them for back taxes, which
would mean bankruptcy for
thousands of persons.
IF this form of extortion
attempted by the revenue de-
partment is successful, and it is
established as a legal certainty
that our foremost agricultural
product can be assessed for tax
alton, the money must come from
the pocket of the man who grows
the crop and not from the coun-
try merchant or the cotton
buyer.
Worse still, it will utterly de-
stroy the cotton market in Miss
issippi during the month of jan
uary, the most important of the
year, for no merchant or buyer
is going to be in the market for
cotton in January when he knows
as a certainty that he will be as
sessed therefor on the first of
February. AS a consequence,
during the month of January cot
ton will be a drug on the market.
'The cotton buyer is glad to
buy cotton on a safe basis at a
margin of Is cents per bale, but
the plan of the revenue agent is
to tax him 81. so per bale for cot

tax, be it understood, must also
be paid by the country merchant
who also has cotton on hand on
that date, and, as everybody
knows, the country merchant as
a rule handles cotton only as a
means of collecting his accounts
and does not expect to make a
profit on the staple.
Under these conditions, what
is the grower of cotton going to
do with his crop picked during
the month of December. and in
readiness for market during the
month of January? He simply
will not be able to sell it, no mat
ter how pressing his debts may

BATTLES WON BY TOBACCO
Influence Of my Lady Nicotine" is
Fully Appreciated by the Brit
ish Government.

The value Of tabacco on active serv-
ice is now so well esteemed by the
military authorities that today n
sees the British government doing
what it had never done before-sup-
p, ing free tobacco to the troops.
Only within comparatively recent
times, however, has this necessity
been officially recognized. Wellington
condemned the practice of smoking as
being "a species of intoxication occa-
stoned by the fumes of tobacco"
Official efforts to discourage the use
of tobacco were completely negatiyed
in the Crimean war. The privations
suffered then by the troops resulted
in officers and men taking to the
psaacea adopted by their Frerch and
Turkish allies, and by its aid their
disconlforts were so alleviated that
ever since the practice of smoking on
active service has been countenanced
By those in command.
In consequence tobacco has played
a notable and beneficial part in the
wars of the past century-in fact,
from Waterloo to South Africa. Prob
ally its solacing and inspiring quail
tbs were never so strongly manifest
ell as in the Franco-German wal OF
1870. It might be said, indeed, that
the crushing defeat inflicted on the
F.ench was due largely to the soldiers
lick of tobacco, added, as it Was, to
the breakdown to the commissariat,
whereas on the German side the au-
thorities did all they could to insure
the troops being plentifully supplied
with the weed.-Tit-Bits.
