Rain TUESDAY SAVED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
The General Rains Throughout
Most of State Breaks
Long Drouth

Millions of dollars will be saved
to the farmers of Tennessee by
Tuesdays rainfall. according to
the statement Tuesday night of
Capt. 7. F. Peck, commissioner of
agriculture.
Reports show that the rain was
general throughout the state,
breaking the worst drouth since
1899, according to the records of
the weather bureau. Nearly four
inches of rain fell in Middle Ten
nessee. This rain represents the
first beneficial precipitation in that
section since June 81. The drouth
was accompanied by,a heat wave
which dried up the growing crops
in the field.
The rainfall was good in most
of West Tennessee, and it is impos-
sible to estimate the good that will
result from it. While the show
ers were heavier in some sections
than others, yet there was enough
to revive the crops and save mil
lions of dollars to Tennessee farm
ers.

CARROLL COUNTY
FAIR IN OCTOBER
The Chamber of Commerce
Will Get Behind Enterprise :. :.
and Make it Go

At the meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce Thursday night of
last week it was permanently de-
cided to hold a fair in Huntingdon
this fall. The fair will be during
the FIRST or second week in October.
1t is to be a clean fair with moth
ing Objectionable permitted.
A committee was appointed to
make plans and report Thursday
night of this week. Following
composed the committee: Fred
Tate, A. NJ. Lee, Jas Patrick,
W. S. Priest, w. L. NOEL, and
Fred Bennett. The officers of the

1t is believed that if the business
men of Huntingdon will get be-
hind the enterprise and can get
proper co operation from the
citizens of the county, especially
the farmers and stock growers,
that the fair can be made of great
value to the county.

The EQUALIZATION
BOARD kept BUSY
A Large Number Have Been
Here to Prevent a Raise
in Their Assessment

The Equalization board was a
busy place the first of this week.
A large number of taxpayers had
been notified to call and show
reason why the assessment on their
property should not be advanced.
And they were all here, most of
them brought some of their neigh.
bors with them to verify the
correctness of their claim that
their taxes should not be raised.
The members of the board were
busy hearing the reasons why
property should not be raised and
many insisted that their assessment
was not only high enough, but too
high and should be reduced.
People are very sensitive about
their taxes, especially their state
and county taxes. Congress may
raise the tariff, which is only a
tax that the consumer pays when
he buys the article upon which the
tariff is placed, and many of them
will 90 to the ballot box and vote
their endorsement of the party
the increase.
With congress raising the tariff,
the equalization board raising the
taxes and the drouth cutting down
the crops the farmer will find it
30 little task to meet his obliga-
lions this fall.

WEATHER FAVORABLE
FOR CROP PROGRESS
Cotton Has at Least Held Own
Since End of June Says
Commercial Appeal

The cotton crop has as good as
held its own, and probably inn
proved somewhat since the last of
June, according to The CONNER
cial Appeal reports. Boil weeyil
is the chief cause of most of the
apprehension that exists as to the
yield. Weevils are more numer.
GUS and active in some sections,
notably in those where heavy In
festation is of comparatively re-
cent date, and less active in others.
Weather influence upon weevil
is marked. Lack of moisture and
high temperatures have preceptibly
checked weevil where month ago
great damage was in prospect, and
less damage than was expected has
occurred.
1t is noted that the plant, where
far enough advanced, is fruiting
well, despite boil weevil, although
there are exceptions to the rule.
The plant, correspondents almost
unanimously report, is healthy in
appearance, has good tap root
and fields are clean and we'll cult
waited.
The weather during the last
month has been mostly favorable
for the crop. Most of the dr0uth
areas of the Atlantics have been
relieved by good rains, while ex.
cessive rains in the west abated,

instances having; been relieved be-
fore occurances of important dam.

In that age and time, 20 reams of the
