COURT TO BE
READY TO FUNCTION IN 1922

Without question, the most impor-
tant task to be accomplished by the
second assembly of the League of
Nations during its session, which be-
gins in Geneva on September 5, viii
be the definite launching of the
leagues's international court of JUS
tice.
Every indication TO date is that
this court functioning in the Carne-
gle peace palace of the Hague will
constitute not only the most import
ant organ of the league, but also its
most important instrument for in
ternational peace.
The plans for the court,which were
drawn up by commission of inter-
national jurists, of which Elihu Root
was one Of the most influential mem
bers, were fully approved by the
leagues's first assembly last Decem-
Der. Since then they have been adj
hered to by forty-five Of the forty
eight states now belonging to the
league.
The first step Of the assembly
and the council towards the launch
ing Of the court will be the election
Of the president and vice-president
Of the tribunal and the nine asso-
ciate judges.
In order to keep the nomination
and election of these entirely out of
national and international politics,
the nomination was left to the vari-
GUS groups of judges who are al
ready assigned to the Hague arbi-
tration tribunal. Every nation, in
GLIDING the United States, which is
member of the Hague tribunal,
maintains there a group Of judges,
usually four in number, constituting
what is known as national group.
Each one of these national groups
including Americas. has been invited
to send in four nominations, two of
their own nationality and two for
eigners, of iurists competent to sit |
in the leagues new tribunal.
It is expected definitely that the
court can begin functioning in 1922.

ALMYRA GLEANTNGS

The Almyra school closed a sue
cessful session last week. The con-
cert was given on Thursday evening.
The program was long, but enter
tanning from beginning to end. The
children acquitted themselves in a
manner that reflected credit upon
the teachers for the careful training
they had given them. Two girls
completed the eighth grade work and
two the high school course. These
were, respectively, Sarah Sage and
Lula Mcdaniel, and Bertha Gladney
and Lsis Huey.
Some Of our people attended the
meeting Of Synod at Rosemark last
week. They report a nice time.
We were sorry to hear that Uncle
Harry Thomas, one Of the good old
time colored men Of this section, who
had been making his home with his
grandson, Matthewsn Thomas, went
fishing on last Friday and in some
way fell into Mayberry creek, near
the Shelby county line, and was
drowned. His age was said to be
several wears past the century mark.
Friends in this community regret
ted to hear the announcement made

that Mrs. Whitehorn, Sry had died
ana that the funeral would take

SALE OF LAND FOR DELIN-
QUENT TAXES

Under Senate Bill No. 1862, passed
BY the late, but not lamented, legis-
lature, the whole proceedings Of the
sale Of land for delinquent taxes
was radically changed. Under the
new law the trustee no longer sells
real estate for delinquent taxes, but
these taxes are certified to the state
comptroller and if not paid by jan
uary 1, following the date Of their de-
linquency, bills are filed in the cham
Gerry court by the state revenue
agents and the sale Of land is abso-
lutte and in bar Of the equity Of re-
demption, SO that the purchaser at
a tax sale will get a valid title and
immediate possession. The trustee is
required to advertise delinquent
taxes as formerly, but the advertise
ment is merely a notice to the tax
payers that unless the taxes are paid
by June / they will be certified as
delinquent to the state comptroller.
Under the old law, the penalty Of
being delinquent in the payment Of
taxes was six per cent. interest on the
amount Of taxes from the date Of
delinquency and an additional penalty
Of one per cent. for each month for
which the taxes were delinquent, to-
gether with the costs of advertise
ment. These penalties are retained
under the new act, and an additional
penalty Of five per cent. on the
amount Of taxes and interest and
other penalties is required to be paid
If the payment Of taxes Is not made
by June |. An additional penalty Of
10 per cent. must be paid if settle
ment is not made Of the taxes BY
January /, the date upon which the
revenue agents are required to file
suits to enforce collection.
In word, the new act not only
provides severe penalties for de-
linquency, but also an effective means.
to vest the purchaser at tax sales
with good title.
Under these circumstances, IL
behooves taxpayer to give careful
consideration to the payment Of his
taxes, otherwise he may lose his
land.

WHAT THE BANKS SHOW


The entire citizenry Of the county,
as well as the officers and stock
holders in the banks, should be
proud Of the figures in the state
ments Of the banks at the close of
business on April %. The state
ments show the total deposits Of the
county to be 1,992,96777. Owing
to the fact that some Of the banks
were late in sending in their state
ments, it is impossible for US to give
a consolidated statement Of all Of
the banks Of the county, but a state
ment Of the three banks of Covington
shows the following figures:

statement is that the banks have no
bills payable and that they have a
good cash reserve. The fact that
the banks are not borrowing money
at this time Of the year is indeed
unusual

Adventures With a Purse

know how she was going to manage to
get one unless she found store which
was giving them away. Yesterday she
came in town to do some shopping, and,
having some extra time on her hands,
decided to look about and see what the
hatshops had to offer. ''Of COURSE" she
said, "I always picked out the most
expensive looking one and found II
was far too much money for the state
of my finances. had about decided TO
give up the struggle and trot along
home, when / happened into one more
store which had on display perfectly
stunning array of hats" The one she
bought was a tiny affair Of some very
soft looking material, black. In the
back was large bow Of black satin
which had two long streamers to hang
down the back The hat Is very smart
looking and was but SO.
I've seen all sorts and shapes Of pads
for hot dishes and / guess you have,
too. There is the kind our grandmothers
used made Of heavy crochet work, and
those the youngsters learn to make In
school, all Of which are very nice. But,
personally, I'd sooner have the ones l
saw today than any of the others. They
are made of tiny round beads OF vari-
GUS colors, and the beads are woven
into fancy designs. They are most un-
usual and the brilliant colorings Of the
beads would form a pleasant contrast
to the snowy white of the table linen.
