"Big Boy" is favorite nickname in the American army. It probably started when the first bunch got to camp because most of Uncle Sam's fighters were big fellows. Private James w. Phelps of Pine Bluff is one of the .''big boys." He enlisted April 26, 1918, and he landed in France Au- gust 26, 1918. His job is "doing about" at Base Hospital No. 51. If you don't think it's as hard a job as any ask him when he gets home. When he is home he lives at 704 East Second avenue.

vary Episcopal church, who is in
France with the army on leave of

he might return to Americus to re-

written Nov nine days before the
signing of the armistice, from II Rue

extracts from the letter:
I'VE do all four marching, prac-
tically, atnight,so as to keep the
enemy guessing as to our where

you on the map the different places
where we have been. | am keeping

''It will certainly be nice to get

But I enjoy it all a great deal. I
like the men with whom l am thrown

ships to undergo, it seems to agree
with me and my health is very good.

aly other nations of the world, re-

may come any day soon; certainly
within two months, in my opinion.
AT the present prices mills are

can afford to pay the farmer go cents

make handsome profits. An instance
of the enormous profits made by the
mills is in the state of Alabama.
That state owns and operates a cot

reports of that mill. which are open

Right now Germany and Austria
need 100000 bales of our cotton
The people of those nations must be
clothed, and we will have to cIothe
them. Every shelf in Europe is bare
of cotton goods, and every mill is
either entirely out of cotton or
almost out.
Five years ago this country pre-
duced a bumper crop that left sur

PAYS S570,182 TAX
 AND THEN APPEALS

Notice of an appeal from the tax assessment levied against that con- pany this year was filed yesterday by the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company, in the office of the state tax commission. The Inspiration company stated in it's appeal that it had paid under protest the sum of s570,1S2, be- ing the full amount of taxes assessed upon the said mines and other prop erty of the company.
 The grounds for the appeal are that the tax is erroneous for the reason that it is based on the profits of the com pany for 1915, 1916 and 1917 whereas other companies of the same class, it is insisted, are assessed on valuation based wholly upon the average profits of the companies for five years from 1913 to 1917. inclusive; that it is un- equal, inequitable and discriminatory, is in excess of the full cash value of the property, because the net profits of the company on which the assess ment is made are not the actual net profits of the company, is in excess of the speculative value and for other reasons.

 An example of the manner in which the war activity of the United States impresses a recruit from the west is given in letter written by Corporal DeSouza to his brother. Judge Frank DeSouza. Among other things he says:
 Camp Devens had Q divisional re- view yesterday. There were about 2O,- GOO. men in the formation. When YOU see that many armed men in one for nation and marching under perfect control you will have no doubt that Uncle Sam can fight when it is neces- sary, and fight to win.
