A moving picture exhibition was
given in Carrollton Saturday night
showing the important waterways Of
Alabama and the necessity Of voting
for the Port Amendment at the cleo
ton on November 2. The last legis-
lature authorized the state, with the
consent of a two-thirds vote of the
people, to use its credit in the develop
ment of the port of Mobile and sub
sidiary streams, but it is pointed out
that the state does not pay these ex-
penses, only using its credit, the ex-
penses to be gathered from the rev.
enue derived from the docks. The
exhibition was quite instructive to the
voters, showing the development Of
streams and the advantage to be
gained by these improvements, and
will no doubt assist them in voting
inelligently on the day of the cleo
ton.
Mrs. +. H. Williams has returned

The legislature of 1919 declared

to be held at several places in the
county, good speakers engaged for
the occasion, and the people again re-
joice as they did when the war ceased
and our loved ones began returning
home from the bloody battle fields of
a foreign land, where they proved to
he world that America was first in
all things.

one of the best farmers in this coun-
ty, has recently completed the moving
of a three and one-half acre field Of
which he planted the first

sandy loan with clay foundation and
was planted last fall in oats, three
hundred pounds of acid phosphate be-

twenty inches, netting Mr.. Lipsey o.
500 pounds of an excellent quality of

ures about three hundred dollars, pro- !

TUESDAY NIGHT OCT L

There will be n meeting of the
Carter County Livestock Association
at the office of John Simpkins, coun-
ty agent, at the courthouse Tuesday
night October 18th, at 1880 o'clock,
at which time some important mat
betterment of the future livestock
industry of the county.
The association will submit plans
for opcrating, and prosecuting its
activities for the ensuing year, and
n conference with financial interests
Of the city who are interested in the
work will also be up for discussion.
1t is expected that C. W. Radway,

the stockmen, and give his views on
various matters to be under consid-
GRAFTON at the time.
This will be the second meeting of
the association held since the county
fair, Mr.. Simpkins says, that he is
very anxious for every one who is
interested in better livestock to be
present, as it will be his aim during
the coming year to arouse such inter-
est as to make the Carter County
Free Fair of 1927 one of the best
of the kind in the state. And he
deems that this can only be accom-
plished by every stock breeder in the
county taking an active part in every
movement that will tend to better

Mr.. Van Wijk, "are in very good
shape. Foreign exchange is very
favorable in comparison with other
European countries, but has deprec-
lated thirty-tive per cent in compar-
ison with the United States. In nor
NAL times. the Holland guilder is
worth forty cents in American mon
ey, but now it is worth thirty
| cents. When the balance of trade
again becomes normal, the value of
the "guilders' will again be of their
original value"
Made Money in Oil.
Mr.. Van Wijk states that Holland
has made considerable money in OIL
and her resources in this industry
are constantly increasing. The chief
fields from which the oil is gathered
are in the Dutch East Indies. where
the Royal Dutch Company controls
operations. The Royal Dutch Com
pany is the holding concern OF the
Roxana Petroleum Company in the
United States. The Royal Dutch is
quoted in Holland as to /. The
same company has immense holdings
in Roumanian oil fields. About five
years ago, before coming to the
states. Mr.. Van Wijk was employed
there as a geologist and remained in
that capacity for four years.
The Roumanian Field.
In the Roumanian oil fields" ex-
plains Mr. Van Wijk, there are
three distinct pipe lines run for the
crude oil, gaso1ne, and kerosene.
These pipe lines carry the products
direct TO the port of export. which
is at ConstanTa, O.. the Black Sea
The lines, Which run for over 100
miles between the oil fields and the
port, were completed before the war,
but under German occupation a great
part of the lines was taken up and
relaid TO the river Danube, so as to
enable the Huns to export the prod
of the lines has been restored as
originally laid and the products are
again being run to ConstanZa. The
line carrying the fuel oil is inch,
while the lines carrying the gas and
kerosene, are inch"
Mr.. Van Wijk had intended TO visit
the Roumanan fields during his trip
TO Holland, but due TO the great diff
ficulties and delay which are neces-
STATED upon application for the neces-
sary passport, he did not make the
trip.
Hollanders Ignore Presence of Kaiser.
The people OF Holland" states Mr..
Van Wijk, ARE totally ignoring the
presence Of the Kaiser in their
country.
Pays Taxes of $500 900 Per Year.
He is now confined at Doom, in
the center Of the country, in the
province Of Utrecht, living on
large estate surrounded by high
walls. The Dutch government, ac.
cording to reports, has assessed tax
on him based on an income OF $780,
600 a year, which it is claimed he is
receiving from properties and other
invest lents he hold in Germany.

Newly Rich Are Advertised.
Many people Of Holland have
become rich during the years of the
great war, by smuggling food to
Germany. The government assessed
the regular income tax on these
"war-made" millionaires and added
an additional thirty per cent on the
money made during the war.
These newly-rich have purchased
automobiles In Holland, when a IL
cense for an auto is once issued, the
person to whom II is issued keeps It
for all time. Therefore, persons ap.
plying for licenses now receive tags
with large numbers. For this reason,
these millionaires advertise in the
papers in an effort to purchase tags
from people who have them with
low numbers inscribed thereon.
