COUNTY TAX RATE WILL
Be SLl7 ON THE 500
Increased Appropriations Made for
Schools and Roads-NeW ASSESS
ment.

This morning the Board of County
Commissioners closed the annual levy
for the current year and found that to
meet the expenses necessary to oper-
ate the local government an increased
tax rate will be necessary, caused by
additional appropriations for the public
schools and for the building and main
tenance of new roads, besides providing
the sum of $1,000 for a new assessment
and to meet the requirements of the
State tax laws. The rate will be for
county purposes 81 II on the 500 yalu-
alton and this added to the State rate
of 335 cents will make the taxes nearly
81. so on the 500.
For schools S39, 900 is provided for by
the new levy, and for roads, including
the building of new ones and the main
tenance Of those already built, the sum
of approximately $43. 900 is levied. The
school appropriation over last year ex-
c,eds the sum of $4,000, while that for
roads the amount is very materially in
creased.
Another item of large expense which
enters into the sum total of making the
tax rate hi gh is that of So, 900 to meet
the demands of the State Tax Commits
sion, which body has ordered a new
general asses sment tor the county.
The elimination of $780, 900 from the
taxable basis of the county in pursuance
of the recently enacted exemption law,
is also responsible to some degree in
causing the increased rate.
The levy will be published in full in
these columns next week.

NhS. II. IA.
May Bird to 8th was designated as
clean up week. Will the merchants
and all property owners and tenants
unite with the club in their efforts to
have cleaner and healthier town? A
town or city is as dirty. or as attractive
and clean as the people make it. 1t
cannot rise above the level of its
citizens. When travelling, you realize
that dirty city is made up of dirty
households, inefficient citizenry. If
you do not keep your town clean, you
confess to unclean individual homes.
AS man livith 50 is his home town. AS
you believe in your own town and have
testified to this be lief by investing in
property or business venture, increase
your property values and your income
by helping to make clean town.
Remember, that committee, how
e yer well organized, cannot keep a
town clean. Neither can you depend
upon an efficient Board of Health or
sanitary laws. 1t takes concerted
action, community pride of all classes,
in all sections of town, to bring about
municipal cleanliness. Where fear of
the law fails to achieve results, a sin
cere desire to make the whole town
clean, will do the work.
While you are at it, just remember
that it isn't enough to be clean yourself
and in your own home. 1t is the clean
illness of your neighbor that counts in
the ultimate result.
The flies that breed in your neighbors
open garbage pail, in the dirty alley be-
hind the restaurant, in the re use pail
of livery stable, or private stable,
will carry germs of disease into your
immaculate home. Some one else's
dirty cellar or seeping cesspool or germ
intes ted open sewer or closet can start
an epidemic which the sanitation of
your own home cannot overcome.
1T COSTS LESS TO BE CLEAN
THAN TO BE SICK.

There will be no circuses, no elep-

WATSON ALA, MAN WINS
I RELIEF WITH ONE DOSE

Will Glover, of Watson, Ala, suf-
fered for long time from the most
painful of stomach troubles. He could
not eat-and if he did his irritated
stomach would not let him sleep.
He tried just one dose of Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy.
That one dose did wonders. Read
what Mr.. Glover has written of his
experience:
81 had been suffering for a long
while and tried all kinds of medicine,
with only temporary relief. A friend
advised me to try your wonderful
stomach remedy. Before you sent me
the medicine l could not sleep and
was afraid to eat. When l ate / would
have heaviness in my chest, and my
stomach would swell and l would have
a smothering feeling, headache and
pains in my back. But since taking
one dose of your remedy can eat
anything 1 want, and sleep good. l
feel that | will not need any more of
your treatment, as the one bottle
worked wonderful results"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach. liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get
one bottle of your druggist now and
try it on an absolute guarantee-if not
satisfactory money will be returned

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 2S.-This is At

pigeons seem to accept her as their
particular mistress. Even strange
ones she has never seen before will
come at her call.
This photograph was made at a
time when she was illustrating the
unusual power she has over her little
friends of the air.
The pigeon lady" is Miss Helen
Jones, age 1S years, daughter of Mr..

ette Drive, Ansley Park. The pigeons
are prize rollers owned by Forest
Adair of Druids Hills.
Until last week, the pigeon LADY,
and Mr.. Adair's pets had never seen
each other. 1t is true that the roll
ers" had been tanned by kindness and
would fly near their master. But they
were timid of strangers. They won't
go near other visitors. But when the
little pigeon lady" called to them,
they swooped down and perched on
her shoulders, on her hair, and COW
cred the ground at her feet. 1t was as
though she had beckoned to the white
clouds, and torn patch with dots and
dashes of color had whirled softly

Probably the most important light
house at the present time is the light
of Helgoland, the island which Ger
many uses as a naval base. The Hell
goland light is an electric one, and the
most powerful in Germany, and is
claimed by the Germans to be the
most powerful light in existence. The
light consists of cluster of three re-
volving lights, having lighting power
of 4O,OOO,OOO candles. The lights are
on the searchlight principle, and the
cluster is surmounted by single light
of the same kind and size, that can be
revolved independently and three
times as fast as the three lights. The
single light is put into use in case OF
accident to the cluster of three. The
electric power is generated by two
