lhe Press office Is this week In
receipt of a circular from the
State Board of the American Red
Cross, giving detailed report of
the activities of that board, and a
tabulated statement of the mem
bership of this great society by
counties. In going over the re-
port we find that Jackson county
is we'll up in the list in the per-
centage of memberships. In the
entire state there are but twelve
counties with percentage of
membership greater than that OF
Jackson county. Jackson county
with a population of 2,077 had
membership of 378, and during
the Christmas membership drive
added $50 members, making a
total of 728 names on the mem
bership list or 35 per cent of the
population of this county are
members of the American Red
Cross. The Press is proud of the
record that Jackson county has
made and we feel just a little
"chesty" when we stop and think
of the record that our people have
made in all matters in connection
with the war, but we cannot help
but have a small regret that Jack
son county does not lead in the
percentage of Red Cross mem
berships, as she does in so many
of the other war activities. The
banner county in South Dakota
is the county of Dewey. This
county boasts of population OF
but 1888. and has a total Red
Cross membership of 1850, max
ing an average of "a per cent.
Lyman county has the smallest
per cent of any county IN the
state and only seven and one
halt per cent of her people are
members of the Red Cross. The
American Red Cross is one of the
greatest institutions for good that
the world has ever known and is
deserving of the support of every
citizen of the Uuited States, SO
let's get a hustle on ourselves and
get in a position so that when an
other report is issued by the state
headquarters that instead o.
twelve, there will not be a single
county in the state with a larger
percentage of memberships thar
Jackson county. This can anC
should be done, every man, wo
; man and child in the county
; should be a member. Are yo,
/ one? If not, get busy and join a
once.

Dear Editor: You may gel
tired of me writing you so often,
but can't help it,; they keep
changing my address and I want
to get my paper, so here goes.
Didnt get the last two, copies

keep the cannons and caissons
rolling just the same. I under.
stand the flu has claimed many
victims in Wright county. We
have it completely under CONTROL
here, but it causes trouble just
the same. Guess some of the
boys will be coming home soon,
but l can't say for myself. We
are not supposed to be here very
much longer, but since the Kais.
er has turned in, l can't say.
Anyhow it is well done and no
one can kick. My address now
is Bait. F., 14th Reg. F. A. R. D..

GETS MUCH FROM
INHERITANCE TAX

Atlanta, Jan. 5. Nearly a quarter
CT q million dollars poured into the
state treasury in 1917 from inheritence
taxes on estates, of which amount no
less than $4,000 was collected on the
estate of the late James NJ Smith,
millionaire planter of Oglethorpe coun
ty whose farm has been the bone of
contention between half a dozen diff
erent sets of heirs ever since his death
The tax equalization law has caused
a god deal of criticism in certain quar-
ters where large land owners have
been forced to bear their just proper
ton OF the burden of taxation, but
hand in hand with the tax equaliza-
ton act, which was passed in the ad-
ministration CT Governor John NJ. Sla-
tcn,was passed the Inheritance tax
law, although it has yielded an annual
revenue almost equal to the increased
revenue produced by the tax cquali-
zation act
There is every indication that the
equalization act is growing in favor
as the people understand it better
They see that it works no hardship
on the small property owner who was
never able to dodge his taxes, while it
ccmpels the large and influential prop
erty owner to give in his lands and
other real estate at something like
their actual value

WHY LET THE LARGE GROWER
CORNER TIE PEACH INDUSTRY

Whyshould the general farmer sit
back and let the large peach grower
reap all of the profits from growing
peaches. There is good profit in
a properly handled peach orchard
II there were not there would not be
so many in Georgia. Thousands Of
dollars arc made by individuals in the
handling Of this crop. Peach grow
ers OF Georgia are in the minority
for the average farmer seems to think
that in order TO 90 into the peach bus
mess he must have hundreds Of acres
CT trees. II is true that great many
small farmers have tried to grow
peaches as q side line and they have
made a failure and lost money, while
larger grower was succeeding. The
profit per acre made by the large or
chard can greatly be increased on
smaller paintings. It takes lots Of
money as working capital to proper
ly handle a large orchard Natural
ly il one waits to go into the peach
business and that alone, large plant
ings may be the way. But if the on
" man who raised hogs was the man
who had to raise them on thousands
OF acres, we would be in pretty bad
fix in this state Our growers have
not yet realized the value Of intensive
cultivation and proper handling of
orchards. The large peach growers
who have stayed in the game through
the ups and downs are now making
good money. They have learned
how to grow peaches. The smaller
farmer is now in a position to learn
from the larger grower and to reap
g good profit from lands that would
otherwise idle following the advent Of
the boil weevi.
We know Georgia to be a cotton
growing state Practically every far
mer, large and small grows cotton
There is a market and way to hand
lo the one or two bales of cotton that
are grown by the Tenant farmer as
well as there is a market and q way
o. handling hundred bales grown by
the large plantation owner The
same. should be true Of the fruit in
dustry, particularly peaches. We
know that Georgia is fast becoming a
live stock state. Every farmer, wheth
or large land owner Or tenant, is in
terested in the growing OF hogs and
the production Of milk and butter.
It is true there is not as much milk in
Georgia as Caght to be and that our
LEGAL production CT butter does not
furnish our local demands, Never
the less, practically every Georgia

OFFICIAL REPORTS
 FROM VARIOUS WAR FRONTS.
BRITISH REPORT.

By The Associated Press
 London, Sept. 7.-Field Marshal Haig's troops have forced the Ger mans to retire considerable dis tance along front of about IT miles extending from Havricourt wood to Beuvoie, according to the war office announcement tonight.
 They have also taken strategic point around which there has been much fighting on the west bank of the canal Du Nord, on the way to Cambrai.
 The statement follows:
 "On the whole front south of Hav- rincourt the German retreat contin- ues under close and constant press ure.
 "We have reached the line of Beau- vols, Boisel and Havrincourt wood.
 'In frquent encounters with the German rear guards, our advanced detachments are taking prisoners and inflicting numerous casualties on the enemy.
 North of Havrincourt our troops have captured strong point known as the Spells heap on the west bank of the canal Du Nord, opposite Herm- les, taking number of prisoners and machine guns.
 "The stocks of coal and road ma- terial, which have fallen in our pos session togther with large quantities of other war material, prove that it was the enemy's intention to remain in possession of the Somme battle field during the winter months, and also the hurried nature of the retreat that has been forced upon him."
 London, Sept. 7.-An official com munication on bombing and raiding operations issued by the airministry tonight says:
 ''On the night of Sept. 6-7 our squadrons carried out attacks against two hostile airdromes.
 "All of our machines returned.
 ''On the morning of Sept. 2 our squarons attacked the railways at Ehrang (four miles northeast of Treves, Prussia) and the Chemical works at Mannheim.
 Good bursts were observed on and behind the railway lines at Ehrang.
 "Fierce opposition was met within the raid on Mannheim, but despite this the object was reached and sue cessfully bombed. Eight direct hits and many other good bursts were observed on the chemical works.
 "Our squadrons fought largely superior numbers of enemy airplanes
