We don't think our good friend, Mr..
Fort, exactly understands our position
in regard to the tax assessments, and
perhaps he and many other citizens
do not exactly understand the position
Of the commissioners. When the COM
missioners sent out the valuation
blanks they did not expect any man
to do himself injustice. While they
sent them to everybody, they under
stood that many had already return
ed their property to the limit, and in
such cases they did not expect a tax
payer to increase his valuation. We
received one of the blanks and in
creased it to the full valuation of the
property we oWn-we don't own much,
thank the Lord-but if we hadn't been
justified in increasing it we would
simply have filled it to correspond
with last years assessment and let it
go at that. If Mr.. Fort has already
returned his property at its full valu-
alton land we do not doubt that he
has), nobody expects him to assess it
any higher Mr.. Fort can't get around
the fact that large number of Mar
ION TAX payers nave voluntarily III
creased their assessments and have
done it simply and solely in order to
help bear larger proportion of the
public burdens. This seems to US
continuation of the splendid spirit
which the people showed during the
war, in denying themselves, in Civ
ing and paying for the great national
cause. It's fine spirit and if it ex-
tends to the nation we will have a
much better country. Everything that
is needed to make this world better
than heaven is for each and every one
to do his or her full duty, and for the
stronger ones to do little more. We
are sorry to have tumbled off the
pedestal on which Mr.. Fort placed US,
but we didn't climb up there ourself,
so our conscience is clear. On the
other hand, we still esteem Mr.. Fort
as a conscientious citizen, and believe
that he believes he is doing the proper
thing.

Bryan Mack, it is said, has decided
to buy out neither of the Jacksonville
newspapers, but to start new one,
and makes the statement that it will
get going not later than September
Is. 1t probably will be conducted in
the interest of Cats and Swearingen.
Mr.. Mack is known to have assembled
fifty thousand dollars for the project,
it is stated. It will take that.-St.
Augustine Record.
Mr.. Mack will probably find that it
will take a great deal more.

We confess we do not know much
about the northern negro, but we are
certain the southern negro is loyal
He has an idolatrous affection for his
country and his flag. We have seen
some negro publications issued in the
north, however, that do not look good
to us. They have some abuse for the
South, which of course was to be ex-
pected. The South has had so much

abuse from such that it doesn't notice
it. But they are also filled with
abuse for the entire nation, and. dis
loyal remarks about the govern
ment, evidently intended TO stir the
negroes up to attempt some desperate
movements. We do not believe they
will succeed with the negroes north
or south but they will probably bring
great deal of trouble on the inno-
cent

Wilson had a lot to worry about
during the war but it wasn't a marker
to what he is up against now, with
that republican bunch after his hide.
Bet he wishes it was March a, 1921,
so he could disappear from the public
gaze and have a little peace and COM
fort.-Times- Union.
We have suspicion that the disap-
pearance of Mr.. Wilson from public
life will suit the Times Union about
as well as it will the republicans.

into any other imminent danger, but
he saw a good deal of service, all the
same, and won the respect of the
army as a conscientious. hard-work-
irg young officer. He will meet a
good deal of adulation and toadyism
in this country, as there is an element
among our people who make more
fuss over a titled foreigner than the
foreigners do. However, he will meet
some sensible people, also.

Apropos of this discussion between
Representative Fort, the county COM
missioners and ourself about tax as
sessments, we will say that if every
county in the state had increased its
valuations as we'll as Marion has in
the last few weeks, the state millage
for the next two years might be con-
siderablY lower.

A good many people are kicking on
the fact that Canada, Australia,
South Africa and New Zealand have
each vote the same as America, in
the leageu of nations. A point the
DIRECTORS have overlooked, however,
il that the four countries named are
very similar in government and ideas
as well as language to the United
States, and would very likely vote
with America on most important
questions.

The testimony of Secretary Lansing
before the Senate committee that the
American plan for league of nations
was not presented at Versailles, is a
most surprising statement. Every
body supposed that the league of ma

and if it isn't, who is the daddy of the
kid he brought home to be adopted
by America?

YOUTHFUL B0OTLEGGER CAUGHT
Young Man Was Retailing Beef Wine
 and Iron at $6 d Quart.

Foreman, Nov. 21-Floyd Tong. a Marshal Gene Harris Friday night on the charge of bootlegging. He had bought some Beef Wine and Iron from a local druggist, which he placed in a jug and diluted it with water. City Marshal Harris happened to notice that the young mans actions looked suspicious, and he followed and watched him. He went to the boiler room of the Foreman Gin Company and CT and waited developments. Young Tong, according to the officer, made the deal with another young man to get him the beverage with the kick in, and in a few minutes he appeared with a gallon jug Mir. Harris says the boy told his customer that he had some ten dollar and some six dollar per quart stuff and when he returned to the gin with the jug, he informed
 
 was "all out" but he had some six dol lar booze left The deal was made in the presence of the officer-unknoWn of course to the parties, to the deal and the customer was cautioned to be quiet, as Gene Harris was on the watch
 The boy received six dollars for one quart of the decoction, and the officer took him on the spot.
 Tong was given a preliminary hear ing before Judge Arnett Saturday and placed under a $500 bond to await the action of the grand jury. Being un- able to furnish bond, he was taken to Ashdown Saturday night by the sheriff and lodged in jail.

LADIES SOCIETY
Mrs. w. W. York Was Hostess Last
 Wednesday Afternoon.

Mrs. W. w. York of the East Side was hostess to the Methodist Woman $ Missionary Society on last Wednesday afternoon. The large living room was made attractive with pot plants, artis- tically arranged. A goodly number of members gathered to engage in the monthly mission study. The first chapter of Money, the Acid Test, i was ably presented by Mrs. w. L.. Phillips
 After the study a short business ses- s. K. Burnett Several letters were read, one from MT Huie, of Arkadel- phia, asking for $3.75 on a building fund for Henderson-B College; another from Rev. Jack Taylor of the Pearcy Mission Circuit asking dO- nation to go for the building of par sonage which is very badly needed at that place; and one from Mrs. A. Ross, the district secretary, explaining
  ol living the scholarship fund for Scar ritt Bible and Training School was in adequate for the needs of the students, and requesting the Auxiliary to con- tribute something towards the $150,000 to be raised by the TeXarkana Dis tried As there was no money in the treasury it was decided to have food sale down town this coming Saturday for the purpose of raising money to meet these claims.
 After the meeting the hostess, as sisted by Mrs Dave Coulter, served hot chocolate and waters, which seem- ed just to the taste of the guests this chilly afternoon.
 The society is delighted to have as new members, Mrs. R. L. Cooper, Mrs, Claud Rowe, Mrs. JW. Lang, and also as visitors on this occasion Mrs, Dave Coulter and Mrs. J. E. Graves.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO
 ABOUT THAT?

Do about what? Why, that old rot ten shingle roof of yours. Well, if it was left up to me I would put on Never Leak No More Art Craft Roof, roof that will settle all roof trouble for many years to come, roofing mat elial that is so constituted as to with stand all ravages of the elements and on that is noncOnductor of lightning and first of all good fire resisting substance, something that the hot blazing sun will not melt and cause to crawl off your house tops. And after being in use some two or three months will let the waiter come through and damage the interior of your home I have some roofs on here in A5hdoWn work in the installation, these homes are not bothered about defects in their roofs All those that have this mat erial in service, say it is very, very, good, and one architect says there is none better than Art Craft Roofing Is prepared for any and all kinds e. building. and to be used as a roofing material and over old wood, shingles
 While there are some people that are a little skeptical on this line, but that is all because it is something new and different to what they have been used to- But, now, I wish to make this statement about putting Art Craft over old shingles:
 It is the intention of the company and the nature of the material to save the customers all that is possible, in good money on his roofing, and I wish to state furthermore this work that l am doing is not just for my profit alone, but for the good and benefit 1 can be and to help the good people to know and realize that there is some thing that is whole lot better and safer than shingles, and if the peO- pie will just give Art Craft as good a chance as they have other roofing material within six months, why you will see it just like it is in many other cities. Nothing but Art Craft used in side of the Fire Limits and all over other places when desired.
 I must say if the people around Ash down will come together and make up carload of this roofing, so 1 can order carload lots at once, it will come much cheaper to each party, and they will always feel proud of their roofs. and have something that will never give them any more trouble. You do not have to paint nor oil this roofing

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, June 21.-Greatcst opium
ism that Germany would sign the
peace treaty led to fresh advances to-
day in the corn market. The close
was nervous. &C to 2 y c net higher,
with July $t.S2 to $1.S21a and Sep
TENDER $1.761s to SIG Oats fin
ished q C to 1c to l q w ana pro-
visions at gains of zee to soc.
Although realizing sales on the part
of holders checked any tendency to-
ward u radical bulge in values, the
corn market showed evident strength
throughout the day. Attention To-
cussed chiefly on developments re-
garding the treaty, but there was ad-
ditional incentive to buy on account
of a sharp upturn in quotations on
hogs. Besides, country offerings as
a rule were held slightly above the
market Weekend adjustment OF
trades contributed likewise an ele-
ment of strength Accordingly. the
most active purchasing and highest
prices of the day prevailed as the SEES
sion came to an end.
Oats displayed independent firm
ness owing to the fact that the crop
was at a critical stage, and that shorts
wished to avoid open commitments
over Sunday.
Provisions were lifted r. peace
news and by the rise of hogs and
grain. Scarcity of offerings on tht
way up counted as bulliSh factor
The best demand was for lard.
