showed only slight variation In prices.
The general market had good tone
and the dealings were fairly well dis,
tributed. Lehigh Navigation sustained
a fractional decline to 761s, but there
seemed a general feeling of satisfaction
regarding the action of the board in only
declaring the usual quarterly dividend.
Whatever disappointment there was IN
the failure. to raise the Pennsy divi-
dend was easily offset by the exceed.
insly favorable March statement.

PRICE MOVEMENT

Sharp Rise in Specialties, but
General List Was Inclined
to Slip Back

New York. April 27.--Although the
overnight developments and most Of the
days news contained little Of Importance
affecting the position Of the general list,
price movement In today's stock market
was conspicuously choppy, indicating
continued conflicting currents. There
was further free selling Of the recent
active speculative leaders at the outset,
but the reaction soon spent its force
to Il great extent. and was followed by
irregular rallies. demonstrating the pre-
ponderance of technical over outside in.
huences.
Moderate unsettlement was shown by
foreign exchanges on overnight advices
from Genoa. but that situation appar.
emily is still receiving only academic
attention from the market world. The
eported further falling off in car load.
ings was generally accepted as a logical
result of the protracted coal strike. This
wac offset by denials that any drastic
cuts in freight rates were in prospect.
AT the same time the highly encouraging
earning exhibits given by the larger sys-
tens for March helped to give the
transportation situation a more hopeful
aspect. The rails. however, except for
a few scattered special issues. expert
enced equal difficulty as the industrials

While che general list remained in
a highly churned condition the market
had stronger side in a few selected
demonstrations. This comprised g.
point gain in New York Air brake
and rise of over , points in Lake
Erie and Western preferred on reports
, that Cleveland interests are seeking
control Of the road. These were alto.
gether little side plays and were en-
tircly without influence in shaping the
course of the general market.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, April 27.-Therc was a
bad break in the Rio and Santcs coffee
markets this morning. which caused
initial losses of 20 to % points in the
local coffee futures market. 1t Is be-
lieved that the weakness in the Brazi ian

North Carolina and its State
Taxes.

The following remarks are from
a speech delivered by Congressman
Pou, of North Carolina, at the DEM
acratic state convention at Raleigh
recently. What North Carolina is do
ling, South Carolina could do, if she
would:
s"The state Of North Carolina does
not now levy a single cent Of tax on
the property of the state for any
state purposes whatsoever. The state
is collecting it's entire revenue from
taxes on inheritance, incomes, fran
chises, insurance policies, and licens-
es. From it's funds collected from
these sources it pays the entire cost
of the state educational work, in
Guiding state colleges and the special
work conducted by the su%perintend-
ent of public instruction, and appro-
pirates the entire equalized funds Of
something over 100000, which is
given to the weaker counties in the.
state to equalize their schools. Ev-
cry other department of the state
government, including all of the spe-
cial work done throughout the state,
is paid from the state funds which
are collected from the special sources
of state taxes and not from any tax
on the property of the people in the
state."-Easley Progress.

Appeal For Tax Payers Q
EdgefeId County.

AS other counties are making an
effort to secure a lower valuation of
property, Auditor ]. R. Zimmerman
addressed the following letter to the
Tax Commission a few days ago,
lse'ting forth conditions that exist in
this county and it is to be hoped that
Ia lower assessment can be secured:
Edgefeld, S. c.,
June 22nd, 1922.
State Tax Commission,
Columbia, S. C.
Dear Sirs:
The financial condition of the tax
payers of our county, due to boil
weevil destruction of past year, is
such that there remains rs per cent
of the 1921 taxes unpaid; and the
present outlook being much worse, l
feel justified in appealing to your
Honorable Board to reduce, if posi-
BILE. the assessment of real estate of
this county for the year 1922. The
cotton crop last year yielded only
about 80 per cent, and this year the
prospect, due to delayed season and
the abundance of the boil weevll,
will reduce the per centage of the
cotton crop below the 1921 mark to
"a considerable extent. Not only have
many of our farmers planted little
cotton, and some none, this year, but
the continuous rain has prevented
them from finishing their corn plant
ing even to this date. Being inform
ed that other counties in the dis
|tressed districts of our state are ask
ing for similar relief I am filing this
petition with your Borad trusting
that you will give the matter merited
consideration and grant the desired
relief.
Yours very truly,
J. R. ZIMMERMAN,
Auditor Edgefeld County.

County Chairman,

Schools.

At the meeting of the State Board
of Education in May a list of books
and course of study for the public
schools to be used from July 1, 1922
to July 1, 1927 was adopted. Recent
ly the State Superintendent Of Edu-
cation sent out this list to the Super
intendents and teachers of the pub
die schools. The books on the list be-
low have been selected for use in the
Edgefeld High school from the list
sent out by the State Superintendent.
No pupil should purchase books be-
fore the opening Of school, as no
grade will use all Of the books listed
at any n time and unnecessary ex-
pense can be eliminated by waiting
to buy a book until told to do so by
the teacher in charge. All old books
used during the past five years can
be exchanged for books on the new
list at an exchange price agreed upon
by the State Board of Education and
the publishers. AS far as possible the
books already in the hands of the
pupils will be completed before new
books are purchased:
First Grade
The Winston Primer and First
Reader.
Practical Writing, Manual 1.
Practical Drawing, Manual 1.
Child's World Primer and First
