PREDICTS BETTER ERA
FOR COTTON FARMERS
Clarksdale Man in New York
Comments on Situation.
(speciaI to The News seimitar.)

Especial to The News Seimitar.)
CLARKSDALE, Miss, Dec. g.
That it is the opinion of w. p. Hol-
land, president of the Planters bank
of Clarksdale that the business men
of the nation, and especially the cot
ton men of the South, have reason TO
see the silver lining to the present
dark finapcial cloud is shown in the
following excerpt from a letter writ
ten by Mr.. Holland, now in New
York, to a business associate, N. b.
Sessions, of this city:
"Tell our friends who have cotton
on hand rot to get blue. The gen.
eral opinion here is that there will
soon be a demand for staple cotton.
| do not look for it to get much high
er, but there will be market for IT..
Financial conditions are clearing up
on the whole the prospects for 1921
seem much brighter"
Mr. Holland has been in New York
for the past five days and during this
time he has been in close touch with
financial conditions of the country.
He is universally recognized as a
financial genius and his opinion will
be received by local planters as a
reliable forecast of future conditions.
He will return to Clarksdale the lat
ter part of next week.

who were gusts of the chamber of
commerce at luncheon. ]. r. Lougn-
oborugh, of Little Rock, attorney OF
the Arkansas-Louisiana highway
commission, suggested the passage of
a special act by the coming legisla-
tire to levy tax upon property in
Pine Bluff and other parts of JEFF
ferson county to be used in repair
ing and maintaining the Tamo pike

err said that the Arkansas Louisiana
highway was nearing completion and
the worst link in the highway from
Little Rock to the Louisiana line was
in jefferson county, where the Tamo
pike and the Dollar cay road, built
several years ago, We're in such poor
codndition that Pine Bluff and Little
Rock would be deprived of much of
the benefits which would be derived
from the new Arkansas Lounisiana
highway unless these two stretches
were placed in good condition.
Mr.. Loughborough estimated that
it would take 100000 to put a new
surface on the Tamo pike, replace
the wornout concrete and maintain
these roads for a period of 20 years.
He placed the construction at $780,
600 and the cost of maintenance for
the 20-year period at 100000, and
with interest would make the total
cost 100000. The state highway
commission would furnish 100000,
leaving 100000 to be raised in JEFF
ferson county.

TAX PAYMENT TANCLE
CLEARED BY OPINION

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 6.-There
continues to be much anxiety
throughout the state as to how much
time will be allowed the taxpayer
this year for payment of taxes. Ow-
Ing to the distressing conditions pre-
Vatiing, especially among the farming
population, tax collectors are desir-
our OF holding off as long as possible.
While at the same time fulfilling their
duties under the law. The attorney
general s office has had the matter up
several times and I final opinion was
given out Friday covering the sub
iect.
The sist of the opinion is, as to
real property, that, while the statute
provides for advertisement of prop
erty Jan. 10 II taxes are not paid, the
supreme court has decided that this
is not obligatory on the collector, and
the collector may advertise at any
subsequent date, so long as ne gives
the three weeks notice" required.
Damages do not attach until after
the property Is advertised and listed
for sale, and under the new fee law
damages collected must oa paid into
the treasury.
1t Is therefore OF no personal in
terest to the collector to collect dam
ages on DELINQUENT property and the
attorney-general intimates that he Is
complying fully with the law II he
does not advertise until after Feb. l.
provided he then collects damages on
all property thereafter listed for sale
Taxes on personal property may be
delayed in similar way. The law
requires the collector to collect by
distress as soon as it is reasonably
possible" after Dec. Is. The attorney
general holds that 1t is not reason
ably possible to collect by distress
n the midst of taxpaying season, and
that the law is fully complied with If
the tax collector collects the taxes
with all dapages at a later date up
TO Feb l. No damages attach until
ne does something to collect the tax.

than theirs. when a loud, long caif
blared across the meadow. He had
never heard that cry before; and he
raised himself on tiptoe. listening in
tently as the sound echoed back and
forth across the valley.
Though Jasper stayed quite still for
some time, waiting to hear the erv
again, it was not repeated.

All the afternoon Jasper flew up and
down the length of the valley and back

strange bird with the loud voice. But
he met no newcomer at all.
Jasper had almost decided that the
stranger had merely been passing
through the valley. He certainly hoped
that such was the case, because he
had no way of telling how big the un-
known might be. If he was as large
