Black Snakes Beneficent.

In Burlington county, New Jersey, the farmers who, in the erroneous be- lief that they are pest, have been killing black snakes, are being urged to conserve them as enemies of the rattlers, which have been unpleasantly numerous this year. The damage done by the non-poisonous reptiles is now recognized to be of slight account in comparison with the good they do. Not only will the black snake fight and best the rattler, but he earns more than his keep by keeping down other pests. It has taken man long time to identify his friends of the lower or ders, and even today many perse- cuted animals do not receive the credit that is due to them.-New York Sun.

Although the Pulaski County Board of Equalization has voted to rescind its action to tax mortgages, members of the board said} that list of per sons in Pulaski obunty holding mort gages is being prfpared, but that it's preparation does nbt indicate change in the attitude of the board.
 On September the board first broached the question by voting to tax mortgage held by A. Tennen- baum. A. l.. Smith was the only member of the board who opposed. September 19 another vote was taken, and this time three of the five mem bers, W. N. Brandon, A. l.. Smith and Houston Gean, voted against mortgage taxation. Sam T. Poe, pres ident of the board, who opposed re- scinding the former action, was ab- sent from the city.
 About a week ago the board con- ferred with County Judge Joe Asher and passed, by majority vote, a resolution calling for the preparation of the list of mortgage owners. w. N. Brandon and A. l.. Smith, members of the board at this time, said they understood that the list was not to be used as part of the record of the board, but only for it's information. During the latter part of last week the board rescinded it's action to pre- pare the list. However, it is said that list is being prepared, but there seems to be little chance that it will be used by the board, as three members are opposed to taxing mort gages. This gives majority of three to two.
