 & q Figures given out today by the board of relief show abatements made by that body to reach a total of $S9.- 349, of which S50,000 was the allow ance given the manufacturing inter ests of the town at the request of of fcials. Of the remai ming figure, $30,- oS9 was given in reductions for prop critics upon which reductions are al- lowed by law for service in the United States forces. The remaining S9,260 is abatements made at the request of individual property owners.
 ~The $50,000 figure for factory abatem ents represents the total reduc- tion for manufa curing interests The members of the board of relief have declined to discuss the proportionatc amount of reduction given in each in stance but their detailed report to the board of finance contains an itemized Statement which will undoubtedly be available at the town meeting tonight. Much interest was manifested in the hquest made by the factories for abatements and the moN tents of the board of relief in acting upon those requests have been watched with much interest by those interested in the finances of the town. It was, in part, the necessity of giving the fac tory matters a detailed study before taking action, that caused the work \ Sf the board to be held up and even-' tually caused a postponement of the town meeting to lay tax rate.
 Tn IJ1i h grand list has been reduced material ly by the action of the board, there now appears but little chance for a reduction in he tax rate, and aGitatorS for a lower tax rate arc beginning to reatize that their cause is partly lost
 N is very probable. those conyer- sant with town finances say, that a 22 mill tax will be requested and i, carried at tonight's meeting. The meeting will have the matter of pay nent on the new East Berlin road to consider and this fact may bring sup portcrs of the low tax rate over to ktle high rate side. When work on 'the East Berlin road was started, the state agreed to pay a part and the Town of Berlin a part the payment to be made as soon as the work was completed. Engineers estimate that the road will be opened in Novem Der. and the payment must come in the early part of the next year. Those who favor % mill rate say that the levy of such a tax will make funds availa ble. money can be taken in through interest and the town will eventually gain by it. If the 20 mill rate is adopted the funds will not be available and must be borrowed. The result will be the payment of interest.
 It is anticipated that the session this evening will be the stormiest one held in the Town hall for years. With less than s10,000 removed from in- diyidua1 property assessm cts and the prospect of paXing q 25Q per cent. in-

GoDernor Roberts, Chief Orator Of The Occasion Sounds
Clarion Call For Speedy Return To The Fundamen-
tai Principles Of The Republic; Excoriates Any
Organization That Places Itself AboDe The
Nation Or State; Fine Music, Varied
Program And abundance To Eat

With the governor of the state as
the chief orator and attraction the
community club field day at Enter
prise will go into history as one OF the
notable events OF its kind in Maury
county. From every standpoint the
day was complete successes. The
crowd was large and representative
one, it was pervaded with the spirit
of geninue Americanism There was
more than an abundance to feed the
hungry multitudes from this and the
northern section of Giles counties and
the program was one of the most COM
plete and interesting ever presented
to the people.
Eloquent speakers held up to the
people there assembled from probably
score of communities in the county
the advantages of community cO-Opera-
ton and enterprise as evidenced by
the progress that had been made at
Enterprise during the past five vars
PROFESSIONALLY many who attended
the days exercises received inspiration
that will fructify into some tangible
results in community building in 9TH
err places in the county. For all around
and about Enterprise one can find
evidences of mutual helpfulness; of
self sacrifice for the public good and
of an appreciation of the things that
go to make country life the best in
the world
Gov. Roberts was the principal
speaker, and for an hour he plead
with earnestness and good effect for
return to the standards and princi-
pies of the fathers. He declared that
the evils of which we complain were
beyond legislative cure, that the PEG
pie alone, by return to certain fun
damental principles which gave this
republic it's birth could solve these
problems and save the republic. Gov.
Roberts paid his respects to the inso-
lent labor chiefs who had denounced
him as the oppressor of labor. He de-
clared that the hope of American de-
moeracy was in the equal and exact
administration of justice and the en-
forcement of the law against all Of
tenders, whatever might be Their sta
ton in life. He denied, under Amer-
can government, the right of any or
ganization to challenge the right OF
any citizen, regardless Of his member
ship or non membership in any fra
ternity or union, to make living at
honest toll and to support his wife and
children.

At the conclusion of the Governor's
address dinner was announced. and
II was such a feast as few OF this day
ana generation had seen spread. In a
beautiful blue grass lawn, beneath the
shade OF great forest trees and around
one of the finest springs to be found
anywhere the dinner was spread. Hos.
pitality was unbounded Everything
that man could carve, every dish for
which the South is famed in song and
story was there in the greatest abun-
dance.
After dinner the exercises were re.
sumed. Former Representative Jno. C.
Ne,son, introduced J. |. Finney,, editor
or The Herald, as the next speaker
Mr.. Finney spoke for thirty minutes,
making plea for the faith of the
fathers. His address was a demand for
reassertion of love FOR and faith in
American institutions. He scathing
ly denounced all who claimed the pro.
lection OF the flag and yet who would
where their interests were at stake,
put themselves above the law.
Mr.. Finney declared that the people
of Enterprise had set a wonderfully
fine example for the development of
community spirit; that if this ma
ton was to be saved and civilization
kept from shipwreck the people OF the
rural communities must do it. Drift
of population from the country to the
city is the real menace to our institu-
tions. To stop this life in the country
must be made more attractive Bet.
ter schools and better roads must be
constructed regardless of the cost.
His declaration that all sections Of
schools and good roads was loudly ap-
plaunded. et
Following Mr.. Finney brief addresses
were made by Mrs. Forbes, poultry ex-
pert, Mrs. Grady, county home demon
stration agent, Prof. Mclean. county
agent, and Prof. Joe Frank Porter,
of the county council of agriculture.
A number of others spoke briefly Mrs.
Grady was given an ovation by the

Gov. Roberts returned to Nashville
Saturday evening He came down in
a car and was accompanied by Lewis
Pope, state manager. They were
joined here by number of Colum-
bians who accompanied them to
Enterprise. Both Mr.. Pope and the
governor expressed the very great
pleasure that they had in being here.

The governor said that as a result
of certain chiefs denial of the RICH,
of others to work when they would, he
had been compelled to expend $685.
600 of the taxpayers money to pre-
serve order and sustain the institu-
tions of his country. But" declared
the governor with an earnestness that
carried conviction to the hearts of all
his hearers, Il have no sort of apollo
gy to make for having expended that
money for this republic is too precious
it has ocst too much in blood and
treasure to allow any organization or
any set of men to destroy its founda-
tons" Thunders of applause greet
ed this bold declaration.
The governor made splendid i'm
preston upon his hearers. He was
especially emphatic in urging a full
days work as the solution of the
worlds ills. He urged that the
preachers and the press do whatever
they could to impress upon the people
of the nation the need for speedy
return to the ideals that had moved
the men who founded the republic.
The program was varied one. Mu-
sic was furnished by the Industrial
School Band, which came down from
ashville. The boys had fine outing
and enjoyed the day as much as the
people OF the community enjoyed hav-
ing them present.
The exercises commenced shortly
after II o'clock with the arrival of
Gov. Roberts and the members of the
band. The meeting was called to or
der by Chairman Albert Holt, of the
general committee, who presented
Mrs. Morrow, who delivered
the address of welcome to
the visitors. She was followed by a
delightful reading by Miss Love.
Ashley B. Sowell, then in an appro-
pirate address, responded for the Wis
itors and guests to the address of well
come. He declared that the commu.
nifty had lived up to its name Of En-
terprise."
Capt. Thomas Y. English presented
Gov. Roberts as a brave and true gov
ernor, who was not afraid to do his
duty at all times. Responding Gov.
Roberts spoke of the sacrifice and val,
or of Capt English and others but
lately manifested in the great war.
This, he said, was evidence that those
high qualities still existed among the
men of today.
