WAGON OWNERS
PAY TAXES ONLY
FOR This YEAR
NOT REQUIRED TO WORK FOUR
DAYS ON THE ROADS UNTIL

Each Vehicle of That Character Must
Pay Two Dollars, But After the
First Of Next Year This Win Be Re-

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
In some way the impression pre-
walls in the county that in addition
to the payment of wheel taxes this
year the owners of wagons must work
them four days on the highways and
for that reason many citizens are re-
senting the effort to collect their
wheel taxes. 1t should therefore be
again stated that the provisions of the
new road law which requires the own
ers of wagons to work them for four
days on the roads does not go into
effect until next year.
The new law distinctly provides that
the wheel taxes accrued for this year
must be paid just as though the act OF
1919 was fully in effect, but that begin
ming next year the wheel taxes are
abolished and in place thereof the pro-
visions OF the old Mcknight law with
reference to working wagons on the
roads is restored.
Owners of wagons in the county Will
simply have to pay six dollar road
tax to the county court clerk this year.
They will then be done so far as any
tax on their wagons is concerned.
There will be no compulsory wagon

Although the tags have been here
only short time already County
Court Clerk Lipscomb has collected
from the owners of many wagons and
buggies in the county. He explains
also that the tax on buggies is un-
changed for this year being two dol
lars for each buggy. Next year, when
the new law goes into effect, the tax
will be only one dollar on this charac-
ter of vehicles. The tax will then be
paid to the trustee and there will be
no. tag issued, but for this year the
tag is two dollars and must be paid
to the county court clerk and a tag
placed on the buggy.

had hardly time to dress, many of

A night or two after the Spring Hill

destroyed by fire entailing a loss OF
thousands of dollars, and just few
weeks back dormitory of the Price
Webb school at Lewisburg was burn
ed, all three fires taking place at night.
The attempt of the Branham &
Hughes students to fire the building
Thursday has given rise to much
speculation and rumor as to the cause
of other fires. Both Chandler and
Shaw, however, denied most emphatic

the first fire at the school. They de.
clared that they were asleep in an
other dormitory at the time of the
