Lambuth in Yokohama, Japan, news
Of which was received in Nashville
Monday by cable, marks the passing

opinion expressed by members of
the Southern Board Of Missions,

for his death.
His career affected the lives Of
men from every race and cline. In
Africa, China, Chile, Korea, Japan,

aries in that far country He left
China when eight. years old for this
country to complete his education.

the New Testament into Chinese in
the Shanghai dialect, and for a time
edited a paper in Chinese. He also
helped prepare the Japanese discip-
line for the Methodist church Of ia
nan and edited the English edition.

this connection was the giving of
written language to the Batatela
tribe Of the Congo mission field.

editor Of the Methodist Review Of
Missions, and made many contribu-
lions to medical journals and church

BOY SCOUTS WILL
ORGANIZE NEW TROOP

Troop No. 2 of the Boy Scouts viii
be organized Thursday afternoon at
3 o'clock in the boy scouts room of
the First Presbyterian church of
this city. There was originally only
one troop in the city, but it was
found necessary to divide this troop,
because Of the fact that there were
so many ages represented among the
boys that they could do better work
if divided into two separate troops.
Authority for the enrolment of the
new troop was received from New
York this week, and the boys who
have been in Rev. L. ]. SherrilPs
troop viii be re-enrolled in this new
troop on Thursday afternoon, and in
addition new boys will be enrolled.

wished to join the Boy Scouts, but
who could mot because the local
troop was full. This separation will
make it possible to take in new boys,
who should be present on Thursday
of this week, or of next week. The
new troop, No. 2, will be for boys
IL and 10 years of age.
For parents who wish to know
of the expense involved in
scouting, it IS stated that the initial
enrolment fee is so cents, which
carries a boy for year. 1t is not
to have suit. but in case
the boy wishes to earn one by work
ing for it, it is we'll to let him have
it, The price Of the uniforms that
the boys of Troop No. 2 are, wearing
is about $780,
Mr.. Will Shoaf was scoutmaster Of
the original trop. Rev. l.. J. Sheriff..
who was assistant scoutmaster of
No. i, will be scoutmaster Of No. 2,
Mr.. Shoaf remaining scoutmaster of

A second mass meeting was held
in the courthouse Friday afternoon
to protest against the action of the
State Board Of Equalization in max
ing an increase Of 10 per cent. in the
assessed valuation Of property in
Upton county, Judge John Y. Peete
was nominated and elected chairman
without opposition. and Attorney w.
4. Owen, secretary. The same reso-
lutions protesting against the pro-
posed raise by the State Board and
passed at a previous meeting were
also read and unanimously adopted
on this occasion.
After reading the resolution re-
questing the county court not to fix
tax rate in excess of the rate of
1920, Col. H. I. Simonton made
brief speech and opposed the passage
Of such a resolution on the ground
that the county court would be more
familiar with the situation and that
it would have little weight with that
body in considering the tax rate for
the current year. However, the reso-
luton was finally adopted by accla-
nation.
With the resolutions passed by
both meetings and affidavits of about
$50 taxpayers, who made oath that
the assessed valuations were higher
than the actual cash values, Judge
Peete left for Nashville Friday night
and appeared before the State Board
of Equalization Saturday morning to
present the resolutions and affidav-
its. He also addressed the State
Board in behalf Of the taxpayers,
protesting the proposed raise Of 10
per cent. over the valuations as fixed
by the county equalizers. He stated
that the county assessor, Mr.. T. M. |
Harris, who was )also present in
Nashville, assessed greater valu-
alton on Upton county property this
year than was done by his predeces-
sor under abnormal conditions in
1920, He also pointed out that the
county assessors figures had been
reduced by $3,520,54 by the County
Board of Equalization, who were in
session several weeks adjusting the
as submitted to them by
the county assessor. In concluding
his remarks, Judge Peete stressed 7
the fact that land values in Upton
county are menaced by the appear
ance of the boil weevil in cotton
crops, and urged the State Board to
allow the assessment to remain I'M
changed, or as modified by the county
equalizers.
Following Judge Peete's speech,
Mr.. Harris made some remarks and
stated that his assessment Of Upton
county property was not too high.
He submitted figures in support Of
his contention. Following the re-
marks Of Mr.. Harris, the board adj
iourned to meet again this week,
when they will consider Upton
case.
Upon his return from Nashville,
Judge Peete stated that he was re-
,eived cordially by the State Board,
)ut could not say what action the
BOARD would take in regard to the
,ase. i

The local chapter Of the American
Red Cross is making a study Of
community needs and resources this
week under the direction of Miss
Nell Whaley, field Representative
of the Southern Division A. r. c.,
headquarters Atlanta.
This work is being done with the
assistance of a number of local peo-
pie, and the reports, when COM

Chapter for its future program.
For some time the Chapter has
been practically inactive, except for
the volunteer service Of Mr.. w. L.
Owen for the ex-soldiers in getting
their claims adjusted with the gov
eminent.
The Chapter some time ago de-
cided to employ a trained secretary
who should continue this work for
the soldiers and also to extend Red
Cross service in the town and county
along lines Of social welfare. which
is forming the basis of work for
many Southern Chapters during
peace times. For this regular SER
vice the Covington Chapter has Sc
cured Miss Margaret Hawkins
through the Southern Division head
quarters. Miss Hawkins will arrive
this week to take up her work, for
which the study being conducted BY
the Chapter with Miss Whaley's as
sistance will serve as a guide. A
meeting of the Red Cross commit
tee and the assistants in the study
will be held at the Baptist church
on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at
which time the reports will be made
and discussed and recommendations
made for the future Of Red Cross
work in this community.
