ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
FROM THE STATE.

Maury county viii receive 1896 from

of the state. This is in addition to
the amount that was only recently
disbursed under the general education
act which provides that one-third of
the revenues of the state shall be
semi-annually distributed to the pub
lie schools. The interest fund varies
only slightly each year and is six per
cent on about $2,50O,OOO that the
state owed the public schools at the
close of the Civil War and which was
lost when the bank of Tennessee fail
ed. An effort was made to make the
state as a stakeholder a preferred
creditor of the bank but the supreme
court held that as shareholder the
state could only share on equal terms
with the other stockholders.

was not hreshed until the latter part
of August.
The highest mean temperature for
July in the past 20 years was in 1913,

for that month was 100 degrees and

CITY EQuAL|zERs
~ ARE MEETING DAILY
QUESTION OF BASIS UPON WHICH
=. TO ASSESS BANKS IS DIS.
CUSSED.

Daily sessions are being held by the
city board of equalization The ques-
ton of how banks should be assess
ed was discussed before the board
this morning by Col. Joseph F. Brown
low, cashier of the Maury National
Bank. 1t was the insistence of the
bank this year, as it as last, that the
true assessment should be on the cap
ital stock, surplus and undivided prof
its. The city board last year declin-
ed to take this view of the matter and
very largely increased the banks val
uation. However, the city assessor
has assessed the bank ON this basis
and should it be changed and the local
board follow the example of last year
the bank will doubtless appeal. I'm
der an act passed by the last legisla-
ture the taxpayers now have the right
to appeal from the city equalization
board to the state board. This right
did not exist last year. The board
held the question of the amount to
assess the bank under advisement.
Taxpayers who are interested in the
assessments made upon their property
would do well to visit the board and
ascertain what is being done so that
they will not sleep on their rights.

this and other countries are going to
prove more difficult to solve than the
questions that arose during the war.
We talk OF peace, but there is no
peace In this or'any other country. In
America we find a ,seething mass of
discontent. No sooner is one strike
settled ozs one disorder put down un-
til there Is another disturbance. Race
riots occur in the cities of the North,
Chicago's entire transportation sys-
tenn is paralyzed by strikes, the half
million shopmen of the railroads are
on the verge of tying up railroad traf.
fic, the enginemen, already the best
paid artisans in the land, frankly
state that they must have yet higher
wages. No one knows now when he
leaves home whether he will have to
walk back. Production in all lines
is being constantly hampered by labor
difficulties. The high cost of living
goes on getting higher and the def
cits of the railroad administration
mount each month. s
In old England, the birthplace Of
constitutional liberty and genuine de-
mocracy, a labor dictatorship is
threatened The labor unions are
about to usurp the functions of a Par
lament that represents all the peo-
pie. No sooner Is one eruption avert
ed by compromise until another strike
is threatened. David Lloyd George
has compromised most of the de-
mands by giving the unions the lions
share OF, what they wanted, but with
each victory they have grown holder
until now even the Londan police
force is on strike. The very founda-
tons of. government have been at

ton to. picture conditions in England
as being little better than those in
Russia. In France the government
that won the war and would now turn
its attention to solution of the prob
lens of peace is threatened with de-
struction. No one has any great faith
in the stability of the German gov
eminent. Is the world to plunge into
darkness as it did with the fall of
the Roman Empire and are we to
ave recurrence of the Middle Ages?
Is the civilization of this day to per-
ish in the wild orgy of revolution? Is

FARM PRICES DECLINE.

Threats of congressional interior
ance, the announcement of the rail
oad unions that they expected to tie
up traffic unless further subsidies
we're granted by the government, and
agitation for political control of mar
deting, have caused one of the biggest
slumps experienced by farm products
in recent years. The bottom dropped
out of corn and hogs lost more in a
single days trading than has been
known in years. Other products will
no doubt follow suit IN already de-
.moralized cattle market will not be
able to meet the strain.
1t was inevitable that the produc-
ers would be the first to feel the eff

cost of living. When the producers

back from the war it was difficult to

cult article to buy. Cotton goods were

question for us Johnny Rebs to get

we had raised so much cotton that
