There was slight discussion of

put an end to speculation as to his

BIG RICE SURPLUS IN CHINA

Recently the price fell rapidly and
dealers and exporters found them
selves loaded up with rice while the
banks were pressing for the payment
of bills. Japan was not able to buy
owing to the tightness' of her money
market, and 1t was stated that Amer

Must ReaSSeSS Property.

The county commissioners have receiv-
ed letter from the State lax Commits
sion requesting that the rcvalnation Of
real estate in this county, which has been
hanging fire for two years. be taken up
and proceeded with at once. The COM
mission has recommended that six COM
petent assessors be appointed to do the
work, and that the revaluation be made
upon the basis of fair valuation of real
estate at the present time.
The revaluation as desired by the tax
commission, is equivalent to country
wide new assessment. The commission
has a list of properties that have chang
ed hands during the past several years
years and based upon these figures the
taxable basis of the county may be ad-
vanced from slightly more than forty
millions of dollars to about sixty mil
lions President GLAND stated last week
that he will ask the commissioners to
take up the matter of revaluation this
week. He said he did not think that the
commissioners would be favorable to the
appointment of six men to do the work
but thought that the reassessment should
be conducted the same as in the past,
namely. by one assessor for each district.
The commissioners are not favorably in
clined toward new assessment upon the
basis of recent selling prices.

Gracehann Letter.

The new pastor and preacher of the
Graceham Moravian church, the Rev.
Fred'k G. Fulmer. arrived here August
9Th. He assumed his ministerial duties
on Sunday, August 9th. 1t was beau
tiful day, and goodly number of men,
bers of the congregation turned out to
welcome him. This was very gratifying
and much appreciated.
Three of the pastors sisters have been
visiting him at Graceham. viz: Mrs. A.
E. Habicht and daughter Mary, of Phil
adelphia, Mrs. w. J. Raffel and daugh-
tiers, Mildred and Emily, and Miss Emily
D. Fulmer, all of Philadelphia. Mr.. Ha-
bicht had been here but had to return on
account of business. They are enjoying
the privileges and pleasures of Grace
ham.
Sunday, August 18th, there was cele-
brated Lovefeast and Holy Communion.
This commemorated the occasion of Au-
gust l3, 1927, when the Moravians at
Herrnhut received q special baptism of
the Holy Spirit during the celebration of
the Holy Communion. 1t marked the
elimination of years experiences in
the Moravian church. Count ZinZendorf
was one of its great leaders. The Mo-
ravians were suffering persecution and
hardships and were forced to worship
where they could find suitable place.
Zinzendorf offered them such home on
his estate. 1t was here that during this
outpouring of the Holy Spirit that he
engaged in wonderful prayer:
l. For union of hearts.
2. For freedom from strife with those
inimical to them.
3. For blessings for those who cared
nothing for religion.
4. Solid and sure foundation in Jesus
Christ their Saviour.
This was means of drawing the band
of christians more closely together and
establishing them in the faith of Jesus
Christ.

Three Big Rains Tuesday,:
Lightning Kills Hog. Barn
Saved By Timely Discovery.

For the past two weeks rains have
been frequent in this vicinity, and have
done the growing crops great amount
of good. Fortunately, SO far, there has
been no storm to blow down the corn.
Tuesday of this week rain fell soon at
ter IL o'clock and continued about an
hour. About seven o'clock in the even
ing heavy cloud came this way from
southwest and from it fell the heaviest
rain of the summer. At times the street
was sheet of water. Streams were out
of bank. Lightning was vivid and thun-
der very heavy.
Sometime during the evening lightning
is thought to have struck pen of hogs
belonging to Mr.. Peter N. Hammaker
and Mr.. Lester Unger, on their premises
on East Street, this place, one hog be-
ing found dead and another in bad condi-
ton Wednesday morning. Thunder was
very severe in that section.
During the storm at noon bolt OF
lightning fell between Mr. Carl Calls
dwelling and summer house. and close to
where Mr.. Gall was standing. He was
shaken up considerably but not injured.
He almost Immediately left and went to
the barn and on reaching the pump house
found some of the woodwork there
in burning. He presumes that the light
ming followed wire or metal pipe into
the building. He threw water on the
blaze and prevented any damage being
done. The building is close to the barn
and had the fire gained Roadway, the
barn would have burned.
The third rain of the day came about
eleven o'clock at night and was also very
heavy. Very little lightning came with
this rain. There was practically no wind
during any of the rains.
