Slave Market of Wazzan.
Moroccan Holy City Last Place on Earth
Dealing in Human Beings.
From the london Mail.

The open slave market in the Holy City
of Wazzan, Morocco, which was recently oc-
cupied by the French, is reputed to be the
last of the kind in the world, according to a
French officer who arrived in London yester-
day from Fee.
The slaves are brought to Wazzan by car
avian from parts of the country still unex-
plored. The market is held annually during
the pilgrimage season, when piouS MoslemS
pour into the city from all parts OF Morocco
to ask for the shereef's blessing. AT this time
negro and negress slaves are grouped to-
gether by their different owners ON an open
piece OF ground
The BUYERS then crowd round and ask ques-
tons about the age, health, and, in the case OF
woman slave, IS she is married The owner
always says that his women slaves are still
unmarried as single women usually tetch
higher prices than married ones. OF course,
there is always haggling over the price, espe-
cially if there is some physical detect Whlch
is invariably the case. The teeth are inspected,
arms are pinChed and male slave is often
asked to lift heavy loads.
Contrary to the general belief the lot OF
slave in Morocco is comparatively happy
one All they have to do is to escort visitors
through the gardens which form part OF the
rich Moors estate Another duty is to keep
watch from a minaret for indiscreet strangers
who pry into that part of the garden reserV-
ed for the women of the household. Indoors
there are often as many as fifteen slaves all
occupied, say, in preparing tea for their mas
ter's guests In Fee and Marrakesh women
slaves are taught to dance, and their enter
tanment reminds an onlooker of the Arabian
Nights.
At present traders caravans are fighting
shy of Wazzan, and no slaves have entered
the city since the French authorities prohibit
ed their sale By this means it is hoped to do
away with the slave traffic throughout the
European zones.

BETTER FARM HOMES.

1t is encouraging to observe in trips
through rural districts that there is a notice
able Improvement in farm homes. During the
war all building material was so high as to
be prohibitive and since the armistice mate
rails have been so expensive and labor so
hard to obtain that many who desired to i'm
prove their homes and build barns could not
do so. But the fact remains that one travelling
through the country here in Southwest Geor-
gia finds many nice homes and attractive
farmsteads Even tenant houses are better
than formerly, Conditions generally are be
ing improved, and rural life is better because
of it.
1t is hard for children to rise higher than
their environments Men and women have
difficulties in overcoming handicaps of poor
homes and unwholesome surroundings. Con-
trast old buildings without trees and shrub
berry and flowers with comfortable and at
tractive homes adorned with flowers, hedged
in with shrubs and sheltered and protected
by trees.

"The Sorrow of Taxes"
From the Madisonian.

The matter uppermost in the minds OF
many of our people at this time is that OF
taxes-where they will get the money to pay
them. The problem of popular government is
very largely a problem OF taxes, and the
question of taxes is as old as that OF govern
ment itself Many inequalities and nJustlces
come in the levy and collection of taxes.
The people of Madison and Morgan county
are burdened almost to the breaking point by
last years taxes.
County taxes seemed high enough last year,
but this year they are almost doubled-in-
creased over 80 per cent 1t is not enough to
state that Morgan county gets back from the
state more than she pays into it. State taxes
are too high, and the Office OF tax commits
sioner seems a high-handed means OF exact
ing any amount Of tax the commissioner sees
fit to levy, and the taxpayer has no appeal.
The function of his office seems to be to
raise taxes, instead of equazing them. The
equalization of taxes carries the idea OF lower
ing as we'll as raising taxes, but the commits
sioner seems to think the only way to equal
ze taxes is to raise them. There are many
honest people in Morgan county who return
their property for the right valuation. A
board OF upright assessors pass on it, and
approve it, and along comes the tax commits
sioner and says its not enough, and almost
doubles it. There is much dissatisfaction in
Morgan county as well as all over Georgia
over the operation of the tax commissioners
office, The Dawson News under the head,
"The Sorrow of Taxes" prints the following
on this subject:
This is the time Of the year when the
people are required to meet the burden
some bills of taxation and the number who
mortgage their homes and in some instan-
ces part with their property in order to pay
the demands of the tax-gatherer increases
as this burden mounts higher and higher
year by year 1t is one of the sorrows of
taxes, which are becoming grievously high.
The keeping down of taxes should be a
subject for conscientious study by execu-
tives and legislators. If taxation continues
to rise as it has in the last few years the
breaking point will soon be reached. The
continued drain due to exorbitant taxes
will tend to take the vitality out of the
farming, and business elements, and when
that it done we will have reached he brink
Of the toboggan. City and town people
likewise complain that they are compelled
to pay taxes that are beyond reason"

Can't Be Downed.
From the Savannah Press.

The farmers are busy speeding the pillow
down here in Southwest Georgia. They have
bravely set out to make another crop and
recoup their fortunes. No matter what mis-
fortune overtakes them, they cannot be kept
doWn.-Dawson News.
The Georgia farmer is hard to down. We
have heard lot about his being ruined, but
he refuses to stay ruined. He goes to work
in spite of weather and low prices and is
bravely breaking his ground and preparing his
fields for the next crop.
Just what that crop is to be we do not
know He will probably follow the advice OF
DR.. Soule of the Georgia state agricultural
college and diminish the acreage in cotton
He will probably raise his own supplies to a
greater extent than ever He will probably
watch the markets and organize to improve
his selling facilities. In spite of what the
banks or congress or the rest of the world
may say, he is blowing deep, getting his farm
in good condition and preparing himself Tor
any fate.
And fate can't harm man who shows that
he is indefatigabe and industrious, He doesn't
know when he is whipped and, by the way,
he is long way from being defeated.
The Albany Herald offers this consolation
in the midst of so much that seems, upon the
surface, to be discouraging:
"The farmer finds comfort in the thought
that he will be able to produce this years
crops much more cheaply than was pos
sible last year, when the price not only
of labor but of everything else that entered
into the making of crops was unprecedent-
eddy high
The Townsville Press remarks: The
farmer gets more advice and less aid and real
assistance and protection than any business
man on the face of the earth.
Everybody is giving the farmer advice, be-
cause everybody is interested in the farmers
work The farmer feeds us all and the bust
ness of the country cannot prosper unless
agriculture is upon a high and healthy ground.
And there are in Georgia not only plenty OF
counselors, but plenty of workers in the red
old hills" He keeps at it in spite of war, pes
thence and famine He listens to them ALL but
follows his own ideas and fixes his crops ac-
cording to his own judgment

SITS For His Old Shoes.
From the New York Times.

Mayor Carl Mau, of Verona, suburb OF
Newark, ~ J.. has living, near Warsaw, IN
Poland, a brother, who has just written HIM
something about the awful conditions there.
The brother was at one time prosperous
country tradesman, but the war has swept
away the little fortune lie had accumulated
When he was in better shape than that to
which the war had reduced him, and he could
afford to be a little particular, the Polish
brother threw into the attic pair OF shoes
that were not just comfortable for him. Not
able to be so particular now, he dragged the
pair from the dust and cobwebs OF the lott
and was trying to convince himself that ne
might wear them OH the pinch when "a neigh
Dor happened in. The visitor needed foot COW
ering more than Mau, and began to bid tor
the castoffs. When his figure reached $l/5
Mau parted with them-only reluctantly,
however, because he suspected that they
might be worth more.
'Such thing as a new pair OF shoes is not
to be had any place in this vicinity, ne wrote
to the mayor. He said that coffee is worth
$40 pound in American dollars, and spool
of thread cannot be had for less than hver.
Folks around him are falling to bits for want
of thread to sew their tatterS together.
The mayor filled box with goodies, not
forgetting the coffee and the thread, and has
forwarded it to Poland.

OBEYING THE LAW.

The News hopes and believes the report
from Washington that Secretary Houston
and his associates on the war finance corpo-
ration will carry out the spirit of the law as
enacted by congress and passed over the
presidents veto by overwhelming majorities
in both houses is true. Some of the Wash
ington correspondents have stated in their
dispatches that the secretary would refuse
to put the machinery of the corporation in
operation, and as there were two vacancies
in the corporation the president would neg
lect to appoint members leaving the secre-
tary of the treasury and his two subordinates,
who are members in control OF the situation
and that they would make attempt to
. comply with the law.
The revival Of the war corporation may
not accomplish what is expected. But the
majority of the sentiment of the country is
behind the plan, regardless of parties, as the
overriding of the veto shows. 1t would be
an improbable act for the officials charged
with the execution of the law to refuse to
execute it, especially in the brazen manner
in which they were said to be going about
it. The temper of congress IS such that a
fragrant and wiful refusal on the part OF the
members Of the corporation to act would have
brought about impeachment proceedings with
in a few days If the officials had attempted
to do what they were said in the correspond
ence to contemplate doing they would have
been found guilty on trial for such impeach-
ment. 1t is not for the executive department
of the government to determine whether the
enforcement of law will accomplish that Tor
which it was enacted. 1t is its duty to en-
force the law, and if the results are not what
were expected it is not responsible. 1t must
enforce the law or lay itself open to impeach-
ment of the official who refuses or neglects to
do So

A Woman of Seoul.
From the World Travel.

There were no women at the docks and
comparatively few in the streets of Seoul.
Most of these chung to the Old custom OF
covering their faces when out Of doors, going
shrouded in voluminous folds of heavy, linen
like, substantial ghosts. We were fortunate,
however. in getting CLOSE up of one on our
train, evidently of high class and very much
chaperoned by her husband Hatless, her
slick black hair was. parted severely in the
middle and drawn plainly down at the sides
of her expressionleSs face into hard knot
behind Her high-waisted skirt was very long
and FULL and above it she wore tight little
Elton jacket both OF fine quality white grass
linen. Most peasant mothers OF infants, by
the way, wear nothing between these two
garments; unQuestiorably convenient for
them but rather startling to the foreigner.)
Except that she was thickly powdered she
looked as clean ard rritanioa as. a New
England great -grandmother.
