In monastic times the abbtg was
rich and Of much Importance, The
Chester mysteries" or miracle plays
were performed each year before Its
gates, when a fair was held on the
feast Of st. Werbergh, the patron
saint of Chester. A curious custom
prevailing among builders in the mid
die ages was that Of carving grotesQue
figures-not only on the exteriors Of
churches, like gargoyles, but often on
their interiors. Perched coyly in q

Church of st. John. This was a Ca

years he removed the seat of his

COL. LUKE LEA TO SPEAK FOR

original plan will be carried out de-

duled to speak at or 2:30 o'clock.
Col. Lea is to speak at Franklin be-
fore coming to Columbia, and 1t is
not known just what time he will
arrive here. 1t is the desire of the
supporters of Governor Roberts not to
have the speakings conflict, and sup
porters of the rival candidates here
will work out final details for the aft
ernoOn just as soon as possible.

Increase OF s660.ooo in Assessed valu-

After Board Of Equ4izers Submits
Final Report.

At called meeting Of the board of
mayor and aldermen, held last even
ing the 1920 tax rate for Columbia
was fixed at $1.l0, or five cents lower
than the rate of 1919. The total as
sessed valuation of the city for 1920
is $4,69l 1913, or an ind f'ease of $780,
600 over the assessment of 1919. The
total assessed value OF real property
has been fixed at $3,206,424, while
personal property to the value of ST.
4S5, ,169 has been assessed
The greatest increase in the assess.
ed valuation of city property comes in
the real estate, something over $40O,.
900 having been added to the assess
ment Of 1919, while the personally
assessments show an increase of
something more than 100000.
The new tax rate Of $l.10 was fix
ed by unanimous vote of board
members present at the meeting last
night. II was at first hoped that the
city could reduce the 1919 rate to an
even dollar, but the budget allowance
for the year amounts to $4,000 and it
was felt that some provision should
be made for retiring some of the in-
debtedness of the city.
City Recorder kannon stated that
the collection of privileges and ad va
loren would still further increase the
revenues Of the city to something
more than $4,000 but what figure this
will reach has not yet been determin-
ed, as tits known that an effort is to
be made to equalize the assessment of
ad valorem taxes. City officials say
some merchants have been paying on
very nearly the full worth of their
stock, while others have been get.
ting by" with no more than half.
The. budget appropriation of $4,000
contains an item of $4,000 to apply

fund of the city, and officials say the
budget has been made liberal and
there may be a surplus to go to the
sinking fund after the business foI

Each department of the city has
been making an effort to economize to

STATE FIGHT
WOMEN'S LEAGUE APPEALS TO

THE AMENDMENT.
STATES RIGHTS ARE INVOLVED
In Spirited Attack on the Susan 3.
Anthony Amendment Rejection
League Says That II Is a Menace to
White Civilization.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 29.-The
Southern Woman's League for the re-
lection of the Susan b. Anthony
amendment, which has opened cam.
paign headquarters at the Hermitage
Hotel in this city, made public today
a ringing appeal to Gov. James NJ.
Cox the democratic candidate, for a
hearing of its members on the ques-
tion of states rights and party honor.
The appeal which voices both the
principles and termination of South
ern opponents of federal suffrage, is
signed by Mrs. James S. Pinckard,
president general of the league.
The following Is one Of the strong
paragraphs OF the appeal: I'VE make
this appeal because it is boldly pro-
posed, regardless of the unalterable
opposition of the majority of women,
to bring about the political consorip-
tion of our womanhood and the de-
struction of Southern civilization by
using federal patronage and party
pressure to coerce the Legislators of
Tennessee into violating their solemn
oaths of office and their state constitu-
ton.
THE very safety of Southern civil
ization, the purity of the Anglo-Saxon
blood, is involved in this amendment
for no less than three force bills,
providing for the enforcement of the
| 14th, 18th and 10Th amendments,
were introduced in the last congress.
awaiting only ratification of this
amendment for adoption.
Therefore the vital issue to the
South is not to save the democratic
candidate from suffrage picketing, but
| to save the soul of the democratic
party and the white civilization of
eleven democratic states.
The men who died for states
rights still live in the hearts of their
sons and daughters of the South Our
monuments to their memory are not
alone of stone and bronze but of flesh
and blood. We cannot dishonor them.
Therefore we appeal to you for
hearing and beg to be advised If you
will extend to Southern women, seek
| ing neither votes nor offices, but only
! the salvation of the states, fair con-
! sideration before casting your lot ut
terly with the small group of pickets
whose chosen symbol is badge rep
resenting their jail terms for perse-
cutting democratic president"
Copies of this appeal were not only
released to all the newspapers but
they were mailed to every member of
the Tennessee legislature.
