IN MOVIE LAND
c. c. e.

For life is a moving picture
AS the shifting scenes 30 by,
Filled with humor> and with pathos,
With laugh and then sigh.
For two years, literary experts
have been busy exploring history for
data of the life of Mary Queen or
Scots for a film production that is
being worked out by William Fox.
J. Gordon Edwards, who directed the
Queen of Sheba production of mag
nificance and beauty, will direct the
Mary Queen of Scots production. He
and company of Fox prayers will go
to Europe for the concluding scenes
of the historical drama that will be
made in France, England and Scot
land where the unfortunate but fas-
cinating queen lived her brief life of
romance and tragedy. The film story
is based on authentic history, SO will
be OF value for students, as it will in
no wise depart from the real facts in
the ill-fated queens life.
The screen version OF the famous
play, Cousin Kate, in which Ethel
Barrymore starred, has Alice Joyce
for the Barrymore part in the Vita
graph production. The play was pro-
duced by Charles Frohman.

Jucklins," has been arranged for the
screens. His Kentucky Colonel"
has been given beautifully on the
screens. and we now await the pro-
fuction OF his Tennessee Judge"

SeSSment law, 10 take II Out OF the
hands of the Railroad commission,
and for an act to reassess all pro-
perty of the state in 1921, in order to
get lower and more equal basis of
taxation than was taken in 1920,
under war conditions. find our
mountain section assessed higher
than many other better sections of
the state.
Fourth. voted against the eight
per cent bill, feeling that six per
cent was enough for the borrower to
pay in interest. l also sustained the
Governor in his veto of this unfair
measure, which virtually repeals ana
renders ineffective the six per cent
law.
Fifth. voted and passed the stock
law for our county. A law that was
badly needed and will prove a gseat
benefit to all the county, except the
mountain section. which / gladly ex-
empted by special act, from the pro-
visions Of the law.
Sixth. passed splendid, we'll

think by far the best one we ever
had. and will take us out of the win
ter mud-holes and help the farmers
in the marketing of their products.
Seventh. 1 voted for a bill that
passed to raise the pension of ex-
Confederate soldiers from SIS to $40.
l also helped pass q bill in the House
to pension all exlConfederates who
served one year and wore the Gray,
but it failed in the Senate. 8& II
Eighth. voted invariably against
the creation Of new ofIices at the ex-
pense OF the over-burdened taxpay-
ers Of the state.
Ninth. voted first, to amend the
Dog law by electing three apprais-
ers. who under oath would say what
a sheep killed by known dogs was
worth, and to pass on whether or not
they were killed by dogs, but said
like others, failed, so the
law was repealed three to one in the
house, and later in the senate, and
new senate bill prepared that taxed
every owner of male dog $1.O0 and
females $500, yearly privilege tax,
all to go to the public schools (none
to sheep fund.-, to be collected by the
Trustee of the various counties. who
are to receive rs cents for every 81
collected. I, with many others, inr
sisted that il it was a privilege tax
it ought to be 80" cted by the County
Court Clerk at 2h cents to the dol
lar, which Is the law instead of Is
cents to the dollar, as personal pro-
perty, which we thought an unjust
price for collection by trustee, II
not unconstitutional, therefore, l, with
a majority of about S. counties. ex-
empted our counties from the pro-
visions of the act, and did not support
it, for no trustee ought to have a
fourth of the peoples money for coo
lecting it. For this reason we have
no dog law in Putnam county.
Tenth. In conclusion, wish to say
that it gave me great pleasure to try
to reflect the will OF the people In
local measures, or any and
all general laws that thought was
for, the best interest of the county I
did my best to please everybody, es-
pecially in the Road and Stock laws.
The friends who visited me at the.
Capitol will bear me out in being
more patient and painstaking than
common. So, having given you this
brief statement Of my service to you
all, and thanking you for the pleas
nre and honor OF serving you in this
I beg leave to remain your
pbedient servant. J. N. KING.
