nent in this line of enterprise than our

WORCESTER FARM
ERS TO ORGANIZE
Meeting Will Be Held In The Court
House, Snow Hill, Monday
Afternoon Next.

Seventeen of the counties of Mary
land now have County Board of Ag-
riculture. The establishing of such a
County Board means that the county
at once becomes a part of the organ
lied Agriculture of Maryland by be-
coming member of the State Agri-
cultural Society. This Society in turn
is affiliated with the National Farm
Bureau Federation. Therefore, coun-
ties having such organizations have a
direct voice in State and National af-
fairs pertaining to agriculture.
Up to the present time Worcester
county has no such organization and,
in order that her farmers may have a
voice in important state and national
affairs, there must be County Board
CT Agriculture.
After talking the matter over with
& large number of farmers and bring
ing it before the people at the County
Farmers Institutes, it was decided
that Worcester County should have
such an organization.
Monday, February Dist has been
set as the day to organize. The
meeting will be held in the Court
House at Snow Hill at two o'clock in
the afternoon. Men from the Depart
ment having charge of this organiza-
ton will be present to assist. Farm
ers from all parts of the county are
expected to attend.

Effects Of Constipation.

Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body.
The poisonous refuse matter that
should be carried away is retained in
the system and often poisons the
blood and causes numerous disorders.
No one can afford to neglect his bow
els. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets
will afford relief. Avoid drastic ca
fhartics as they take too much water
out of the system and their use is
likely to be followed by constipa-

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-11-03

Then MT, Atwater, through his counsel, one of the most prominent Democr in the city. went to the Tax Assessor and stated that some relief must be given him. that he was losing money and could not pay taxes on his tax list. and the counsel stat ed that some consideration must be shown to MT. Atwater because of the serious financial conditions of the business. Under these conditions, a Certificate of Error was granted to the Columbia Nut and Bolt Company, reducing the valuation from s62,OOo to SPA,
 In the year 1919. for the same item, MT. Atwater stated under oath that, the value of the property de- scribed above was s24,500, The as- sessors raised the value to $T5,oO0. An appeal to the Board of Relief low cred this amount to $40,000, and then again, through his able counsel. MT. Atwater made his plea of inability to pay and the necessity of considera-' .ton, and received a Certificate of Error bringing the value of his prop erty down to $24.500.
 MT. Atwater should certainly not complain of his taxes, because even Cor the year 1920 where the Board of Relief ordered his figures to S25,- 900 from the S35. .000 which the as seSsorS placed on the value of his property, he is paying on a smaller valuation than he did in the year 1912.

HotO 7he Taxing Pover
 Operoted Aa 7his Case

The Democratic candidate for mayor, Fred Atwater. has, through his manager, John A, Cornell caused certain statements to be made with regard to the Issuing of Certificates of Error by the Tax Assessor, object ing 10 these because they are con- trary to the law as well as to nor ality,
 It seems strange that MT. Atwater should have taken this position at tthis time for he has very evidently accomplished a most surprising change of heart and since his nomi- nation for mayor has gained a new conception of business morality, The following facts speak for themselves:
 In 1918, the Columbia Nut and Bolt Company of which MT. Atwater .s president and head. filed it's tax list under the sworn statements of Mir, Atwater personally. to the fol- lowing effect; The land and build ings were claimed by him to be worth $11, 1000, This is of course, as of September, 1918, and this, in spite of the fact that in August of 1917 he had given a mortgage on the same property to the City National Bank sor S20,0o0, He stated under the heading of Average amount of goods n hand of manufacturers for whole or part of year preceding date of list, :nclud ing raw stock and finished and unfinished product that ali of this property was worth S24.500 and the assessors raised this latter figure to S62,000. The Board of Relief left it there.

clearing up the mystery which now shrouds the killing.
 The latest angle of the affair. brought out at the coroner's hearing to-day, has sent the police away on a new investigation, the purpose of which is to locate if possible the wea- pon with which McNally was stab bed. Since the time of the shootin7 the police have also been endeavor ing to locate McNally's local resi- dence; but so far have met with nc success.

 All of the weapons except the one with which McNally was stabbed are now in the hands of the police.
