SiiJCcL E;AD WEATHER
HURTS COTTON CROP

conditions generally were unfavor-
able for cotton in virtually all Sec
tons east of the Mississippi river
during the week ending today, ac-
cording to the national weather and
crop bulletin, but in portions of the
western belt rainfall was benefl-
cial. Rain was moderately heavy
in all sections of the belt except in
the extreme eastern portion and
temperatures average from three
to six degrees daily below normal
except in the extreme southeast
and in some immediate gulf coast
localities.
"Cotton is getting slow start in
the Carolinas," says the bulletin,
abut the stand is generally good in
South Carolina and fairly good in
southeastern North Carolina.
s'The weather was decidedly un-
favorable in Georgia where much
cotton is dying as result of The
continped low night temperatures;
the stands are poor and there is
much complaint of grass and weeds.
Planting continues in the uentral
and northern portions Of that
state. Planting is unfinished also in
northern Alabama and the progress
of the crop is poor in other por-
ton of the state on account OF the
continued cool, wet weather"

EXPRESSION RECITAL

On Monday evening, May 18th,
the Woman's College of Due West
presented in her graduating recital
Miss Virginia Galloway, student in
the Expression Department, under
Miss Hayes. This recital was one of
the most dignifed and charming col
lege events of the season.
Miss Galloway's program allowed
her ample opportunity for displaying
her ability along various lines. He
first number, an arrangement of the
play "Hansel and Gretel' gave evi
dence of much technical ability ar
tistic appreciation, and an under
standing Of character. The reading
of 'Paul's speech before Agrippa was
nest dignifed and sympathetic. In
the one act play-"Joint Owners in
Spain," Miss Galloway appeared at
her best as comedienne. Her keen
appreciation of the humorous, facile
ability for impersonation, brought
many hearty laughs from the thor
oughly appreciative audience. The
last number on her program, group
of poems by Tagore, was read with
most artistic finish. Miss Galloway's
manner throughout her program was
charming in the extreme.
The reader of the evening was as
sisted by Mrs. kirkpatrick, Mrs.
McCutcheon, Mrs. Neal, Mrs Moseley
and Miss Kathryn Galloway. The
Quartet number "At Morning" was
beautifully rendered, as was the trio

cons Solo, "Love, Here is MY Heart

tistry.
The stage was exquisitely decorat-
ed with white columns wound with,
roses and supporting silver candela-''

a mass of colored roses, and roses
were banked across the footlights.
The stage settings were pleasing

worn by Miss Galloway. This was
of electric blue. The gowns worn by
the other participants in the program
and by the ushers the Misses Lila

Sherman j. Lowell, master of the
National Grange, in statement
published here today. declared it
the belief the farmers Of the cOun-
try that the ouly WY to reduce
the cost Of living is for everyone
to be willing to do "a reasonable

in part follows;
"The farmers belief concerning
the way to reduce the cost of liv-
ing is for everyone to be willing
again to DO reasonable days
work. The forty-four-hour week
will never support America to say
nothing Of feeding a hungry world
"Those who are best informed
on agricultural conditions in
America can not offer the slightest
hope of lower food prices, SO far as
the farmer is concerned.
"In the reconstruction everyone
must get ready to actually work
again, to save again and to con-
siderable degree to get back thrift

as permanent the present scale of
living costs, in which event we
might as we'll stop ranting about
the high cost of living and realize
that new basis of economic pro-
cedure is here to stay.
"This is the declaration of the
National Grange, which sees in the
future no reason why it's members

A GIFT IN PERPETUITY.

1t is time-honored custom, fit
tingly observed without exception
upon the launching of new bat
tleship, for the citizens of the State
in whose honor the battleship lis
named, to present some suitable
gift or on the occasion.
The new Superdreadnaught Ten
nessee is about to be launched and
it is the.purpose of the Navy De-
partment to recruit its compile
ment entirely among Tennesseans.
This fact, makes it all the more be-
coming that the citizens of Ten
nessee should bestow upon it's
namesake a gift that will mean
something to the personnel of the
officers and crew.
The silver service from the old
Battleship Tennessee is to be turn
ed over to the new boat, so that
the testimonial that our citizens
will present can not take the form
of silver service, but wIll-at the
recommendation of Captain r. H.
Leigh, in command of the new
Tennessee-take shape in fund
to be raised throughout the State,
approximately 100000 to 35,-
000,00, which fund will be invest
ed in Tennessee Bonds, the in
come of which will be used, at
Captain Leigh's direction, in be-
half of the morale and for the
entertainment and instruction of
his crew.
! This is and admirable gift--e
gift III perpetuity, good for ALI
time and a gift in which every one
of us who have a pride in the old
State, will rejoice in participating.
Among the purposes for which
the income from this fund viii be-
Used every year will be the estab-
lishment of Tennessee Day OH
board ship, All OCCASION which will
certainly bring the boys nearer to
their homes and to their people
than enything else except per-
sonal visit toy the State; prizes to
those members of the crew with
ming appointment to the Naval
Academy; medals for the best
boats crew of the ship and for the
best division in athletics; awards
for the best boats crew of the
ship and for the best division as G
distinction for returning prompt
ly to the ship at expiration of lib
erty, etc.
SO you will readily see that tlhc
testimonal-this gift in perpetuhy
lis amply worth while, and de-
servedly invokes our hesitat; ne
and cordial support.

STATEMENT SHOWING
PRESENT TAX RATE

Sounby Cor bD6 purpose OIL COR
recting the false impression which
prevails in some parts of your
county that the rate of taxation
will not be reduced as the assess-
ment is increased, l beg to sub
NIT to you statement showing
approximately what your State
and county rate will be for 1920.
Based on the value of real estate
established by proof throughout
the State and upon the estimated
value of personal property and
railroad and public utility proper
'ty, the assessment for the whole
State for 1920 should exceed $2,-
tO00,000,00O, and your State rate
will be reduced to }25 cents and
perhaps lower.
Your county rate in 1919 was
1926.
The total assessment for your
county in 1919 was in round num-
bers about S2,l55;600.
The total assessment for your
county based on the proven value
Of real estate and estimated assess.
ment of personal property and
railroads should be about6, ,482 900.
Based on these estimates, your
county rate for 1920 should not ex-
ceed for all county purposes rs
cents.
Making your total State -and
county rate for 1920 $l00.
As compared with total State
and county rate for the year,l9l9
of 1896.
Your County Court will not FIX
the county tax rate definitely in
your county until the State Board
has completed its work and your
rate will then be fixed on the new
assessment. Your county rate
should be reduced by your County
Court in exactly the same proper
tion that the assessment is increas-
ed. The work of the State Board
of Equalization in assessing all
property at actual cash value will
not increase your county taxes one
dollar. This statement is being
issued that you may be definitely
assured that the rate of taxation
will be reduced as the assessment
is increased.
You will understand that we are
going to do all in our power to put
personal property on the tax books
end we are now making an ener-
getic investigation of the property
of all corporations. We know
that the increases in the value of
these classes of property will be
enormous. To illustrate, we have
proof in our Office now fixing a
valuation on the property of one
corporation of $8, 100000, which
was assessed in 1919 at about $685.
coo, or about 3 per cent of it's val
,ue. We are now valuing the prop
erty of another corporation which
was assessed in 1919 at $260,000.
This corporation has already con-
scented to $5,000,000 assessme ent.
We have not yet consented to this
assessment, for we believe that our
completed proof will show thet it
is worth more money. The home
owners of your County have been
paying practically all the taxes OF
these two gigantic corporations.
We are going to give you a square
deal and you should not be dis
turbed by a misunderstanding of
the law or by false statements
about it's effect.
Yours very truly,
A.V. LoUTHAN,
