Prices Paid Farmers Dropped, While
Cost to Consumers Leaped
During Five Months.

-Mffdiemen have accumulated vast
profits during the five months OF the
Governments campaign to reduce
prices Of necessities, Investigations of
two Government departments indi-
Gated today.
Since the middle Of August, when
Attorney General Palmer announced
he was going after the price goug-

Prices paid farmers for principal
crops decreased from 3.4 to 81 per
cent each month, according to the
Agriculture Department, and
Prices paid by consumers increased
continuously, until they reached the

according to the Labor Department.

A Dastardly Crime.

On Thursday night, April goth,
a crowd of boys of Glen Mary ar
ranged to 60 to Robbins to school
entertainment. 1t seems that one of
the boys lived a mile above Glen
Mary, and he stated to his comrades
that he would 60 home and get
ready, and when the other boys
came along to yell for him. He
lived about 800 yards from the
railroad and the boys were walking
up the railroad, and as soon as
they got opposite the McCartt home
where the McCartt boy lived, they
yelled for him, and instead of the
McCaatt boy answering, his father
Bennie McCartt, answered, and
with an oath, fired into the crowd
killing Barney Babcock instantly, the
boys yelled to him to stop shooting, say
ing that you have killed one of US, do
not shoot any more. He replied with an
oath, that he did not care, that he in
tended to kill all of them, Young Bah
cock fell on the tract and expired, and
the other boys fearing they would get
killed ran, and before they returned
train came along and ran over the dead
boy, but did not touch the body.
McCartt was arrested but claimed to
be innocent. If he is guilty he should
suffer the full extent of the law. The cleo
.tric chair is made for just such crimes.
Feeling is running high and the prisoner
has been removed from the Huntsville
iail to Knoxville for fear of mob violence

THE DEDICATION At
SUNBRiGHT.

All say that the dedicatory exer-
cises at Sunbright, Saturday, were
a great success. The day was beaul'
ful and a large crowd was there to
give their presence and endorsement
to the school work which is being
carried on in the county.
The beautiful building which
sunbright now has is credit to the
town and the progressive citizens
Of the county The school question
is the gretest question which con-
fronts the people Of Morgan County
or anv other county. The back-strap
breakers cannot keep the schools
from making progress, no matter
how many holding back.straps
they may break.
The program was carried out to
a great success. The State Superln'
tendent was there and made a mas
terly address. He isa young man
but a very able man. The key note
of his address was that we are all
neighbors, and no matter no"
much we thought otherwise We

every body was effected by ignor

Id be just as much interested IN tn'

ance of the smaller counties. Tha

wealth to localities, but to ever.

American Flag. Every school bull
ding should have a flag and a
Bible. These gifts are truly appre.
ciated by the school authorities and
the people of Sunbright. The pre-
sentation of the Bible was made by
Prof. J. L. Boston, and Rev. Gam
BILE received 1T on the part of the
school and the town. The presentat-
ion of the flag was made by Mr..
Rogers and received by Prof. S. A..
Bertram on the part of the school
and the town. These exercises ere
all very beautiful.
We must n OF fail to say someth-
ing about the splendid dinner
which the good ladies prepared and
served in the basement. No better
and finer dinner was ever served
any where. And the amount of it
was staggering. 1t was estimated
to be worth $500 or more. Fully
500 people partook of this sumpt-
ious dinner and all had plenty, and
quite good deal of the dinner was
left after all had their fill. A
wonderful dinner!
The day was an epoch making
day for Sunbright and Morgan
County. We expect to have more OF
such days in the county this sum-
mer and fall.

Editor, Morgan Co, Press:
Will you kindly permit me TO
express thru the Press some facts
relative to the proposed new Asses
sment In Morgan County, for the
wear 1920; am aware of the fact
that when public officials are placed
in position of fixing values on
assessable property or read justing
| tax values they are often too sever
ely crltisized, l have tried to
believe that the purpose of Cover
nor Roberts in advocating and urg-
ing the passage of the new assess
ment Jaw of 1919. was to place the
burden of taxation where it belongs,
but from the action of the State
Tax Assessment Board or State Tax
Statis,ician, Mr.. A. V. .Louthan.
Governor : Roberts appointee, l
have become skeptical and conse
quently share the belief of q great
many people of Tennessee, Mr..
Louthan, it seems, from his pub
lished statements has been very
much exercised in defending his
vork as State Tax Statistlcian, IN
diffirent published statements some
of which have been published IN
the Press, and among other things
that he has stated was a statement
to the effect that the values as fixed
was taken from the testimony OF
Citizens of the County as to the
actual cash values of real and Per-
sonal property, l want to state that
as to Morgan County l happen to
know that such a statement is not
in keeping with the facts; was
one of the witnesses from the Four
tn Civil District Of this County
together with the county
Judge and Tax Assessor who testl-
fred our respective opinions as to
the value of property in that Dist
rict, and / likewise footed up and
assisted Mr.. Long in making his
reports on all the Districts OF the
County to the state Tax Statistician
and while it is not possible for me
to remember the values of all prop
erty in the County had occasion
to notice the values of great part
of the property of the County and
especially the 4th District, and
saw the values as sent back to the
County Assessor and in most every
case the values were doubled ovel
the value as fixed by the Citizer
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1920-05-07


the Assessor of Morgan County, as
shown by letter the Assessor ex-
hibited to myself, that in effect he
was of the opinion that the values
as fixed by witnesses and by Mr..
Long was entirely too low, in other
words he meant that all the men
examened as witnesses were mis-
taken when they swore what the
values were, that official has prob
ably never been in Morgan County
and so the consistency of such
statement needs no comment from
me, only to call the attention OF tax
payers to it to show that it contro
diets against his published letters
or letter that "the values were fixed
by the testimony of witnesses.
If the values as fixed by this
State Board are to prevail in this
County, they will so for as the
land owner is concerned be much
above the actual cash value, and so
far as. the purpose and intent of the
Roberts law and the State Tax
Statistician are concerned that will
be where the values are placed, so
1t is manifest that the cold deal will
be given the small land owner, for
the reason he can not afford to sp-
end time and money and possibly
employ Counsel and go before the
County and State Equalizing Boa
rds and make his fight in the way
large Corporations can and doubt
less will he will not be in the attit-
ude of the Railroad Corporations
armed to make his fight, but sub
nit because of the smallness of his
capacity to assert his rights and
the consequent expense attached.
By the courtesy of the County
assessor information was obtained
to the effect that the tota
valuation for Morgan County al
proposed by the State Tax Statist.
ician would be for Real and Per
sonal property in round numbers
about six million Dollars, and fol
the Railroad Corporations and
other public Utility Corporations
approximately three million dollars
If that information is correct let us
see where the burden shifts, the
1919 assessment of Morgan County
is for real and Personally values IL

mission, 81. 500, 900. a difference
in Morgan County of real and per
sonalty property values from the
Corporations of about three Hund'
red Thousand, under 1919 Assess
ment there would be a difference
IN favor of the Railroad and Other
Corporations of Three Millions, sc
is it not easily seen from the State
Tax Statisticans, proposition tha'
the land owner in Morgan County
has the cold deal and the Railroads
are benefited? But some one hal
suggested "the Railroads Compan

Mrs. John Lusk, president of the Co

the needs and urged the members OF
the board TO look into this matter.
After satisfying himself that the re-
quest was a much needed one, Mr.
lack Spearing, president of the School
Board. referred the matter to Mr..
Reuther, chairman of the building
committee, who promised to visit the
school in the very near future and
look into these needs. Superinten-

of the Cooperative Club, and as the
matter has the endorsement of the

doubt remains but what it will be at
