The grand jury has been ordered
by Judge Turner to assemble again
on December 81 for the completion
of its duties for the November term
of court. 1t had been expected that
the jury would complete its inrVestlr

(From Mondays Daily Herald.)
Collection of 1920 taxes by the city
of Columbia has been good, despite
the slow start. However, some OF the
biggest taxpayers of this city are
still in arrears, among the number be-
ing the Louisville & Nashville rail
road and the Florence & Sheffield
railroad. These roads have enjoined
State Comptroller Thomson from
certifying the assessment OF this prop
erty, and for this reason collection
has been impossible. Despite this
fact the city has operated upon the
collections, and 1t is believed that il

IN THE DAYS NEVIS
Jubalani.

'Jubaland is not a musical comedy name for Dixie, but a portion of Brit ish East Africa which may be joined to Italian Somaliland as the outcome of amicable negotiations between Great Britain and Italy, news dis patches state,'' says the National Geographic Society in a bulletin is sued today from it's Washington head quarters.
 Few other undeveloped regions on vast continent hold such agricultural opportunities for individuals or com panies which can handle native labor as do the vast uncultiVated plains on which rubber, cotton and tobacco can be grown.
 "Jubaland now is the northernmost part of British East Africa lying west of the Juba River. Few white men have penetrated the fastnesses of this country which touches Abyssinia on the north, Uganda on the, west and Italian Somaliland on the east. Its southern portion fringes the equator. i With the exception of the Juba there are no navigable streams of note lead ing inland.
 "The Juba River, about the length of our own Colorado River, can be 1 used for commercial navigation about
 
 1 ley, where irrigation is practiced on naturally fertile soil, already there are continuous fields of maize, millet, 1 plantain, sensen, tobacco and cotton. 1 Near the lower portion of the river densely populated areas alternate with l forests
 l Within Jubaland's territory, only a little less in. area than Italy, per haps 250,000 members of the Somali and Gal1a tribes live The Gallas are of a high physical quality. They are i dark brown in color, are generally tall and well-forned, and their deep-sunk, i lively eyes give their faces a keen, intelligent look. They are war like nomads and roam with their herds of 1 camelS, ponies, cows and fat tailed sheep over the grassy uplands of their i country. Within recent years the 1 Somali, who live farther to the north, have gradually pushed into the Gala country and are sending it's people
 southward and westward. The Gallas are hospitabie, brave in battle and
 keen in trading.
 l Their women enjoy an exceptional amount of freedom as compared with 1 that given the women of most African 1 tribes. They may even reject an un- desirable suitor. Both men and women
 usually wear a mantle of coarse cot ton, and make up for the lack in the l number of their garments by adorn= 1 ing themselves with ornaments of 1 brass and iron. The men wear neck laces of the brither metal. leaving the
 fashion of armlets and anklets of more i inconspicuous substances to women. This land of promise is not an un- pleasant place to live. The lowlands
 are hot, but a short distance back from i the shores of the Indian Ocean, the land begins to rise gradually until it reaches an elevation of between 4,50O and 5000 feet, when it stretches out into a rolling plateau, with valuable l forest areas. In this section the eli- mate is temperate, with heavy rains during our spring and fall months. The crops are approximately the same as those we find in our own country.
