BRITISH JOURNALIST
DIES IN LONDON

Viscount Northcliffe, noted British
puhlicist, died Monday morning.
News of Lord Northcliff's death
was given out by the doctors who
have been attending him in this bull
letin:
"Viscount Northcliffe died at 1912
o'clock. The end was perfectly
peaceful"
The death of no other unofficial
person could have made a deeper i'm
preston in England than thai of
Lord Northcliffe. The news was not
a surprise, as the bulletins issued by
the doctors for the last week plainly
indicated that their patient was
dying.
1t was stated that the cause of
Lord Northcliffe's death was sup
puration, or the production Of pus
within the heart, which was followed
by acute blood poisoning.
Lord Northcliffe was by far the
most noted figure in British journal
ism and the first question on every
ones lips was as to what effect his
death will have on the policies Of the
Times and his other newspapers,
which, since the end of the war,~have
strongly opposed Lloyd Georges adj
and it's principles, with
the notable exception Of it's dealings
with Ireland, which the Nortacliffe
press supported throughout.

SAYS COMBINE FORMED
10 DEPRESS COTTON

Investigation Of charges that "un-
due methods or practices are being
employed by the trade in restraining
natural operations Of the law Of sup
ply and demand" and depressing cot
ton prices was proposed in a resolution
introduced recently in the Senate by
Senator Smith, Democrat, South
Carolina. The resolution was refer
red to the agricultural committee.
Senator Smiths resolution recited
that the cotton carried over was less
than normal and that reports on the
growing crops indicated yield below
the world demand. II also stated
that the boil weevil damage was
more extensive and severe than ever
before in history y making the
yield entirely problebmatical
The price Of cotton in the markets
has failed utterly to respond to these
conditions, said the resolution. Sena-
tor Smith made public a letter from
j. S. Wanamaker, president of the
American Cotton Association, report
ing that New York and English cot
ton speculators were working to-
gether to beat down the market
"Since the governments crop re-
port was issued one of the
most bullish reports the mar
ket has gone down every day." said
Mr.. Wanamaker in his letter, "and
it is the general talk Of the trade that
a powerful combine has been formed
for the purpose of beating cotton
prices down, it being stated that this
combine is composed of some the big
gest financial interests in New York, |
some Of the biggest spectators
thtr and some Of the biggest specu-
lators in England, and that they boast
that they win beat the price Of cotton
down to Is cents. THROUGH some of
the most reliable sources l am given
this information"

No Danger.

The horse looked more like living
skeleton than thing of flesh and
blood, and it had scarcely enough
strength to pull the light, ramshackle
cart which trundled behind 1t. When
the animal began to trot very slowly
after good deal of practical persua-
sion on the part Of the driver, young
hopeful standing in the road could not
let the opportunity pass of planting
himself directly in front Of the on

The driver shouted, but the boy re-
fused to move.
"Why can't you get out Of the
road?" cried the driver. DO you

Without moving, the lad glanced

VIKINGS BURIED WITH SHIPS
oldtime Leading Freebooters Of the
Seas Were Appropriately Honored
by Their Followers.

1t was one Of the ancient Vikings
customs to bury their prominent dead
in a ship which was sunk in the earth
and covered with a mound. Within
these burial ships were placed the
choicest belongings, horses carts or
wagons, sleds, apparel cooking uten-
sis and quite often a living servant
accompanied the master to the grave
to minister to his wants in the halls
of Walhalla.
Only through fortunate circum-
stance are any relics of this kind in
existence, and that is due to the fact
that in Several cases the ships were
buried in potters' clay, which is par
ticularIy good for the preservation
of wood. Under ordinary circumstances
these burial boats have been total
~ destroyed by the dampness of the
earth, only the rotted rivets giving
any clew as to the size Of the boats.
To date only three such boats have
been found that could be recon
structed; the last one was found quite
recently, and it has proved to be the
finest of the three 1t is known as

ODD IDEAS CONCERNING TIDES
Anelsnts Held Feafffa!! and Wonderful
Beliefs as to the Cause Of
Waters Ebb and Flow.

Aristotle and Heraclitus said the
tides were caused by the sun, which,
whirling the winds about, cause them
to fall with violence on the Atlantic,
which swells and tltus causes the tides.
Plato's explanation vas that they were
caused by On animal living IN a cavern,
which through the movement of it's
mouth caused the tides. Another bA-
lief was that the tides were a natural
movement of the respiration or breath
ing Of the sea.
There are records Of medieval he
llefs among the Arabs. Some thought
that the tides were caused by the
moon heating the waters so that they
swelled up and thus rose higher, while
others believed they were caused by
yapors generated IN the bowels Of the
earth. Again, others believed they
were caused by the alternate decom-
position Of the sea by the air, and
then the air by the sea, thus account.
ing for the ebb and flow Still another
belief was that a great serpent swal-
lowed and vomited water alternately.
Early Cape Cod folk and those in
other districts along the New Eng
land coast believed that people died
at the ebb or flowing out Of the tide
Watchers by the bedside Of dying
people firmly believed that one could
not die until the ebb tide began to rum
In Scotland 1t was formerly thought
that in setting eggs to hatch one should
set the eggs at flood tide if one wanted
ROSTERS and at the ebb tide If one
wanted hens.

County's Tax Rate is Sl36 For

The state tax rate for 1922 is SO
cents, according to announcement of
the State Board of Equalization,
which held its meeting Monday in
Nashville and adjourned to meet next
Monday morning at 10 a'clock in
Knoxville, This is one cent higher
than the state rate last year for the
reason that the one cent levy goes
into effect this year for the state
fairs. The act providing for this
levy was passed by the 1921 legisla-
ture, but it was stipulated in the act
that it should not become effective
until 1922. In all other respects the
rate is the same as in 1921,
The rate of II cents for general
state purposes. and the rate Of five
cents for state highways will, Of
course, depend upon the total as
sessment, as these two rates are on
the sliding scale basis and will in
crease as the total assessment de-
creases and will decrease as the total
assessment increases. Indications
are, however, that there will be no
change, as the total assessment last
year of S1,728,000,000 would have to
drop below S1,700,000,000 before
there would be any change in these
two rates, and Tax Commissioner A.
V. Louthan says there is hardly al
probability that such decrease will be
noted.
There will be decreases noted this
year on account of the decline noted
in livestock values, but on the other
hand there will be a material gain in
personally. mainly from the larger
cities of the state. This is shown in
the case of Knox county, where the
personally assessment has increased
$7000,000 over last year, or a gain of
so per cent, In addition, many cor
porations have been put on the tax
books which have escaped entirely in
years gone by.
The Upton county tax rate, as
fixed by the county court at its last
session, is $1.00, making a total tax
rate of $1.36 for state and county
purposes.
The following resolution dealing |
with the assessment and the an
nouncement of the state tax rate was
passed by the State Board of Equal
ization before adjournment:
Whereas, under the provisions Of
chapter of the public acts of 1919 |
and subsequent legislation it is pro-
vided that certain tax rates for state
purposes are increased or decreased !
automatically as the total assess
ment in the state exceeds or falls be-

statute; and

BISHOP KILGo DIES

Bishop John C. Kilgo, Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
died at his home in Charlotte, N. G..
at 1;45 o'clock Friday morning, after
having been extremely i'll since sun
day, when he suffered a severe heart
attack.
snop Kilgo had been gradually
sinking since Thursday afternoon
and his death had been expected
hourly by his physicians and family.
Since Sunday little or no hope had
been entertained for his recovery. The
aged minister had never entirely re-
covered from the severe attack suf-
fered last spring on his way home
from the general conference, which
forced him to remain under treatment
in a Memphis hospital for several
weeks, finally being taken to his
home on cot in private car Of Fair
fax Harrison, president of the South
ern Railway, of which Bishop Kilpo
was a director. He regained suffi-
Gent strength, however, to leave his
bed, and several atimes took rides
about the city with members of his
family He made one trip to Balti-
more, where he was under treatment
Of a specialist for several days.
At the quadrennial conference In
Hot Springs last May Bishop Kileo
was retired from active service be-
cause Of his health, which was
source Of deep regret to the church
He should never have attended this
conference in his weakened condition
but his protests at the advice of ply
sicians, which revealed his extreme
LOYALTY and devotion to his work, pre-
vailed and he was allowed to 60.

FOREIGN ALIENS
ARE STRUGGLED IN
Report Shows That Aliens and
Liquor Are Basis of
Great Evil.

Washington.-Smu of Euro

from Cuba, surreptitiously submerging
temporarily in the waters off the Flor.
ida coast OF large quantities of liquors
by international bootleggers" and
mock marriages designed to insure en-.
try into this country of women barred
by immigration laws, form the basis
Of a report submitted to Secretary
Davis by the bureau Of immigration.
This report, Commissioner General
Husband said this week, is the most
comprehensive review Of smuggling
conditions ever prepared by immigra-
ton officials, and is expected to be
considered by the treasury, labor and
agriculture departments in connection
with the proposed coordination of
border patrol forces.
Government investigators by direc.
ton of Mr. Husband visited Jackson
vile, Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Miami
Key West and Havana. They mingled
it is said with the kings" of the
smuggling industry and talked with
aliens of every nationality who sought
entry to the United States The data
gathered, it is stated, will prove in
valuable to the government in coping
with a situation which has taxed the
ingenuity of federal agents to combat
The smuggling ramifications, it is
declared, extend to the capitals of Eu-
rope and involve Creeks, Spaniards
and Poles, Roumanians, Russians and
Chinese.
Both Chinese and European aliens,
il Is declared, are being Struggled in
at Mobile, Pensacola, Tarpon Springs
and at a dozen places within a short
distance of Tarpon Springs, such as
Clear Water, Crystal Beach, Dunedin
and Cedar Keys. Small vessels are
understood frequently tC put in at Tar
pom Springs for supplies or repairs,
the inspectors explaining at such times
large numbers of aliens and quaint
ties of liquor are landed. Liquor at
this port, it is asserted, is openly sold
over soft drink counters.
Tarpon Springs appears to be used
as a gateway principally by ineligible
Greeks, Italians and Spaniards, the in
spectors assert, while smuggling OF
all descriptions seems to be centering
at Tampa and points on or near Tampa
Bay in the vicinity of Clear Water and
st. Petersburg.

The Panthers won the first two
games Of the series, but the Bears
displaying the same gameness and
pertinacity which carried them to
their first Southern pennant, retaliated
by winning four subsequent games and
clinching the title. One game ended
in tie.
The final game was the closest o.

the evenly matched play the teams
exhibited throughout the series. Both
teams played errorless ball. The
Bears won by dint of stronger Often
