HEARING BEFORE ATTORNEY
coFFEY.
is ALL our or PROPORTION
Discovery Made, However, That
Twelve Hundred Acres of Land Be-
longing to One Concern Is Not AS
sesed at Ali.-Personal Property.

According to the proof submitted
Saturday before Attorney John Shelby
Coffey, of the state board of tax equal
izers, the property OF the phosphate
corporations of the county Is assessed
at it's full value and some OF it at
more than its full value.
A number of the officials of the phos-
plate companies appeared before At
torney Coffey and without exception
they declared that the assessment was
practically the worth of the poperty.
Several declared that unproductive
property was actually being taxed at
higher value than it would bring
on the market.
Attorney Coffey undertook to find
the reasons for these remarkable con-
ditions, if true, for he said that he
could not understand why the proper
ty of the phosphate concerns should
be taxed at largely more than the rate
applied to other property. The Off
cials expressed the opinion that they
were penalized by boards like other
corporations, upon the idea that they
were able to pay the taxes assessed.
1t, was developed, however, that
1900 acres of phosphate lands in the
county had never been assessed for
any taxes at all Several hundred dol
lars worth of pesonal property belong
ing to the same cornDration had never
been assessed, although the claim was
generally made by the witnesses that

The hearing in the county has prac-
tically come to close although few
more dispositions are to be filed before
Attorney Coffey completes the record
and sends it to the state board at
Nashville.

Maury countys lamb crop is not
only larger this year than last but 1t
is Of infinitely higher quality and win
be worth largely more to the farmers
of the county, because of the increas
ed price. M. e. Allen the veteran live
stock dealer of this section, stated
this morning that the quality of the
Maury county lambs this year leflt
very little to be desired.
This is due largely to the fine win,
ter through which they passed, max
Ing a better growth of winter cover
crops than was the case the previous
year. 1t takes green stuff to make
Maury county lambs in all of their
glory and that they had in abundance
the past winter They will average
much heavier, and the mortality
among the lambs because of bad
weather was smaller than it has been
in recent years.
Mr. Allen estimates that there ara
more sheep in the county than there
were a year ago, so taking all these
factors into consideration the lamb
crop Of 1919 will surpass any in value
ever produced in the county. While
some extra early lambs have been
shipped and few more will 60 out

ty-five car loads leave tn. county
which will produce perfect stream OF
gold.
Sheep growers will get considera.
bly, less for their wool this year than
last but the difference is going to be
more than made up in the higher
prices for lambs. Dealers are now
paying in the neighborhood of seven
teen cents for lambs to be delivered
the first week of June. They should
average at that time around eighty
pounds which would make the average
lamb bring the owner 1880. Many Of
them will go above that weight and
viii bring as much as fifteen dollars
Within the past nine years lambs have
sold as low as Ave cents pound in
this county making the price now
more than three times what it was
then.

WHEN SAM STEWART LANDED

Twenty-one years ago yesterday the
stage arriving at Virginia City cata-
pulated Governor S. V. Stewart on
| to the porch of the station, while a
wild-eyed driver whirling his four
| pitching bronoches around on a space
about as big as rat skin, rushed for
| the barn, leaving a somewhat be-
wildered Jayhawker standing gazing
after the outfit and wondering under
what lucky star he had been born.
AS intimated it was just 81 years
ago yesterday that Sam Stewart lit

Entertalns With Wild Yarns.
The governor, then young lawyer
looking for a location in the west,
| was lone passenger on the Virginia
City stage. The hardboiled stage
driver, noticing the verdant strang-
er, invited him to seat on the boot
of the vehicle. Enroute to the gold
mining camp the driver regaled his
passenger with tales of vigilantes,
big Nosed" George, grizzlies, road
agents, gambling bells and dance
halls and two gun fighters, until the
man from Kansas was watching every
manzanita shrub and sagebrush to see
whether bandits lurked near.
OFF to the Races.
Arriving at the top of the divide,
where there is a fiat open space,
known as the Race Track" where the
Indians once raced their ponies, the
driver let out wild yell and swung
his whip over his white-eyed bunch
grassers. The whip cracked like
pistol and for three quarters OF mile
across the nat, the four bronchs ran

wicked hoof, while the stage careened
from side to side.
