HIRAM LAWSON
PLACE is SOLD
Sale Included Beautiful Home Tract
With Mahogany Trees.-Other
City Property Sold by
Piedmont Land Co.

Yesterday was big day for. Cal
houn Falls, the candidates, and the
Piedmont Land Co. AS had been ad-
vertised the land company pulled off
a big auction sale at the Falls which
was attended by a score of candidates
for various county Offices and about
five hundred of the "dere pepul" who
did the bidding.
While the farm lands brought
good prices the bidding was not very
lively. This may be attributed to the
tight money market and to the fact
that yesterdays crowd just was not
a bidding crowd. If the "dere pepul"
had bid as strongly for land and lots
as the candidates did for votes 1he
auctioneer would be receiving bids
yet.
The sale of the Hill-Nictles store
building on the S. A. L. railroad in
Calhoun Falls was not confirmed at
the auction yesterday but the buiid-
ing was bought this morning by De-.
Witt Hall for $3.50.
None of the other sales of store
buildings were confirmed yesterday.
The Hotel George as finally knocked
down to Mike Kustas for $4,525.09
and the two lots between the hotel
and the C. & w. C. railroad were
bouught by R. S. Link and ]. D
Fulp for $640 while W. M. Burris
got the corn patch at the rear of the
hotel for $305 making a total of
s5,47O paid for the hotel property.
The sale of the Hiram Lawson
place near the city of Calhoun Falls
attracted the largest crowd and was
sold in subdivisions at good prices.
A number of the tracts were knock
ed down to w. A. Calvert while Char
lie Taylor got the tract on which is
the old Lawson homestead for -l50
an acre. There are about 81 acres in
this tract. Some unusually fine pecan
trees are also on this tract and sever
al real mahogany trees, one of them
big enough for the sawyer, which
stand in the front yard of the Law
son home attracted considerable at
tention.
After the sale was over those at
tending it were given a barbecue din
ner by the land company.

A GENERAL LEAVES PEACHES

AS the Anderson Mail recently re-
marked, "The gods are sometimes
good to editors" The saying was cer-
tainly true yesterday when General
W. F. Radcliffe of Gilgar-ne's way
above the average colonel in gener-
osity if not corporosity- brought
the assistant editor a basket of the
finest peaches east of California and
grapes such as we imagine the spies
brought back from Canaan. The fruit
was perfect and perfectly delicious.
We were mighty glad the "Bie
Boss" was out of the city yesterday
for what he would have done to that
basket of fruit would have been a
plenty. >.

Dick Parker Behaving Himself

Dick Parker is behaving himself.
The reason we know he is, is be-
cause he is now al Col. Bob Perrin's
camp in Brevard, N. c. We know OF
no better model to set for youag-
ster than Col. R. McC. Perrin, who
has the manners of a Chesterfield
and the character of real gentle
man.
Dicks daddy took advantage OF
the occasion by making the trip to
Brevard with his son and Col
Parker is enthusiastic about Camp
Transylvania. He declares the spirit
among the ten professors and their
proteges to be splendid and the
boys think a whole lot of their sum-
mer teachers. Dick is a handsome
fellow himself and has the makings
of real citizen.

Decision to postpone the putting

reached today after tariff experts Of

mission, the new schedules must be

Application of the new schedules

said, will mean that shippers will pay
freight charges under the new tariffs

less the shipment passes through
more than one group before crossing
the line in which case the in;er-terri-
torial rate, which is to be advanced

Washington, Aug. 3.-1ncreased
revenues officially estimated az $780,
annually, will accrue to the
treasury as a result of the advance
in transportation rates allowed the
railroads. The added income to the
government officials say, would be de-
rived from increased transportation
taxes which are paid by the public as
we'll as through operation of the in
come and excess profits tax:
Should railroad traffic continue at
it's present volume, all of the taxes
received from the passenger, Pull
man and freight charges will be in
creased, proportionately with the i'm
crease in rates.
Another source of revenue would
be from income taxes levied against
the railroad corporations. Railroad
executives expect many o. the car
riers to earn sufficiently large returns
under the new rates to compel the
payment of income taxes Tor the first
time since prewar days.
The wage awards of $600,000,000
year, one of the causes for the rate
advance, also will result in producing
a return to the government for it

the Russian Bolsheviki. North Of that
place. Soviet forces have smashed
their way forward in their drive west
ward to point only sixty miles east
of this city.
Over a front of 1900 mics, Polish
armies are being pounded to pieces
before the rush of Bolsheviki hordes
which are being hurled into the bat

Warsaw before the conclusion of the
arn,istice conference at Kobryn. Re-

ties ere halted.
An official statement issued last
night showed the Soviet armies had

connected by an excellent automobile
