After Careful Inspection Of Every

E. j. Park, of the Culleoka Produce
company, on Friday make a complete
inspection of the more than 400 acres
OF canteloupes planted in the Culleoka
section. He said this morning that
as general thing he found the plants
healthy, growing rapidly and giving
promise of a fine yield. Lice were
doing some damage and the recent
rains had destroyed many plants in
the low lands. Mr.. Park stated that
probably twenty acres had been de-
stroyed by the food of Sunday and
Sunday night, that one of the finest
fields he had seen. where the plants
were q yard long had been almost
wholly buried, probably an acre and
a half being buried.
Some of the fields, Mr.. Park de.
clared, gave promise of extra ordinary
yields and he believed that one OF
four acres would yield not less than

ASSESSMENT.
TOO LATE when BOARD ADJOURNs
Meets On First Monday Of July And
viii Then Consider Any Object
Made Now or at That Time to Any
Valuation Upon Property.

Members of the city board of equal
ization viii meet on the first Monday
in July for the purpose of examining
and equalizing the tax assessments OF
the city recently completed by the
City Assessor Thomas F. Friel.
This is the first assessment of taxes
ever made by the city, heretofore the
tax books of the county have been
adopted. 1t is therefore of the great
est importance to the taxpayers of the
city that they should take notice Of
the coming meeting of the equalization
board and govern themselves accord
ingly.
There have been a number of
changes made in the assessments OF
city property in an effort TO equalixe
them. The taxpayers can see all these
changes by visiting Recorder Erwin at
the city hall. This they should do at
once.
Taxpayers who are dissatisfied with
the assessments may either file d COM
plant in writing with the recorder
now, which will be submitted to the
board of equalization or they can ap-
pear in person or by counsel before
the board when it does convene.
Unless this is done and the assess
ment, in the absence of complain In
approved by the equalizers, those who
feel agrieved will be absolutely without
any remedy in the matter. 1t will be
too late after the equalization board
has adjourned to have any matters
adjusted. Then itiSwill be simply q
matter of paying the taxes that have
been assessed. For these reasons the
importance OF looking into the assess
ment should appear obvious.

Modern Woodmen of America will

For the past two years these big

would be better to- hold the celebra-
tons nearer the center of the county
and it was decided to have. it in Co
lumbia, provided the proper grounds
could be obtained. That question was
easily solved when Col. O. C. Hulvey,
of the Columbia Military Academy,
very generously offered the use of the
campus.
The program will be announced
soon. Contests of various sorts viii
be provided and number of substan-

fered. There will also be some splen-

belief is expressed that with Colum-
