To Assess Selves.

At its regular session in Paris this
week the county court decided to ask
every school district to appoint a
committee at the annual April school
meeting whose duty will be to value
every piece of real estate in the dis
trict on it's individual merits. This
information to be used by the county
board of equalization at its meeting
later in the month.

GIVE ADVICE
CONCERNING
SCHOOL BUDGET
March 10, 1922.

MdICu III, 15ZZ'
Dear School Officer and PATRON
The time is rapidly approaching
when your board will make up the
school budget for the coming year.
The levy to raise the necessary funds
to meet this budget will be submitted
and voted upon at the annual school
election to be held April A, 1922.
This budget will include the funds
for teachers salaries, incidentals, re-
pairs, new equipment, libraries and
interest to pay bonded Indebtedness,
if any. AS a guide to assist you, |
desire to make the following sug-
gestions which | trust may prove
helpful.
/. Determine the amount of money
you will have left over from this
year.
2. Estimate the amount you will
receive from public funds, county,
township and railroad funds, as the
same you received last year. Sus-
tract the sum of these funds from
your school budget required and sub
nit a tax levy sufficient to raise the
difference, basing it upon the
assessed valuation as Of last year.
g.. If after ten election the board
finds the rate is too high and will
raise more money than is needed to
support the school, the rate may be
lowered by the board when the esti-
mate is filed with the county clerk
on or before May 18th, but not
raised.
4. 1t is impossible to state at this
time what the valuation of your dis
trict will be as this is the result of
the action of the state and county
boards Of equalization. Your county
clerk will have this information Al Al
soon as it is available and you should
consult him before fling your est.
mate.
The rate voted has nothing to dc
with the regular annual distribution
of funds made iii August. The spe'
cial state aid given rural schools
under section 1921 and high school!
section 1926 still require the dis
tricts to vote the limit which is sixty
ave cents and one hundred cents OF
the hundred dollar valuation res
-pectively. Very little special higl
school aid was distributed last year
While we are all interested in no
only keeping our schools up to tn,
present standard but increasing tn,
efficiency as the opportunity permits
yet the fact remains that the amour
Of local funds spent in the distric
depends upon the will Of the voter
and the local board as this is q mat
ter which rests exclusively in thei
hands.
To sum up these suggestions
would advise that ample funds b
raised to conduct the schools in al
efficient manner but wisdom dictate
that no unnecessary funds be raises
and if you already have enough sur
plus to run your school another yea
it of course Is mot necessary to MAX
any levy at all.
Wishing you success, / am,
Yours very truly,
SAM IA. BAKER,
State superintendent Of Schools

bounties on file and no money for this
purpose. The law provides for a

KANSAS CITY QUOTATION
RESCUERS To REACH
E|VTQ|NBED MINERS

JACKSON, Cal, Sept. 5.-Excava-
tors struggling to release the forty
six men entombed III the Argonaut
gold mine today were penetrating
what is known as the "old shaft"
of the adjoining Kennedy gold mine.
Working on the 3,60O-foot level, this
"old shaft" $50 feet long, leads to
the seventy-five feet of quartz,
which separates them from the men
who were imprisoned by the Argo
maui fire August 81.
Listing of the materials carried
into the Argonaut by the forty
six miners, revealed today that
it would be entirely possible for
lem to have caused the five ex-
plosions which workers in the
Kennedy mine reported hearing
when the roar Of their own blasts
had died away. 1t was the eonvic-
ton of many Of the rescue workers
that at least some Of the entombed
men were alive and would be saved.
Miners on the job believe that the
muck in the "old shaft" can be
cleared out today. and that the re-
naming seventy five feet Of quartz
can be cut through by Wednesday,
a day earlier than it was expected
the buried forty-six could be reached.

DR.. Ridley Is Sued
For $1,000 in Libel
Action by Upchurch

DR.. Caleb A. Ridley, imperial
chaplain of the Ku Klux Khan, was
made defendant in a libel suit for
81 900 filed in the Fulton superioc'
court Tuesday by z. r. Upchurcn.
Mr.. Upchurch alleges that DR.. Rid
ley caused to be published in the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun an article
attacking the character of Mr.. Up
church.
Mr.. Upchurch charges in the suit
that DR.. Ridley had a statement
pqublished in which he said that Mr..
Upchurch was fired from the XII
KluX Khan for drunkenness" This
paper, bearing this statement, was
circulated through Georgia. the pc
tition says, and resulted in damage
to the reputation and credit of The
plaintiff.
This statement, according to Mr..
UpChurch's petition, declared that
mo man who really knows z. r..
Upchurch will believe him on oath, p"
and continues to discuss charges al
legged to have been made by Mr.. Up
church against DR.. Ridley in a
previous statement published in the
same paper.
In this previous statement, the
petition says, Mr.. Upchurch had
charged that DIR. Ridley had missed
a speaking engagement in the in
terest of the Ku KluX Khan in Texas
on account of drunkenness. In DIR.
Ridley's alleged statement, on which
the libel suit is based, DR.. Ridley
declares that these Dtaten11Ats are

Country's Cane Crop
Estimated to Include
524,200 Acres

WASHINGTON, D. Coy the
Associated Press.)-TE area OF
sugar cane: not including sorghum
cane, in the eight principal states
producing sugar cane, is estimated
by the United States department of
agriculture to be $4,000 acres, or
about 80 per cent of the harvested
cane acreage of 1921. This is pre-
liminary estimate and includes the
acreage intended to be harvested
for seed and syrup, as we'll as for
sugar.
The acreage that will be harvested
for seed cannot be satisfactorily esti-
mated at this time, it was said, as
IT depends largely on the price re
fceiveu for syrup and on other factors
not yet operative.
Louisiana has 800 acres plant.
ed to cane this year, according to
the preliminary estimate, or more
than one-half the total acreage Of
the eight states. Alabama has TO-
coo acres, Georgia $4,000, MISSISSIPPI
pi $4,000, Florida $4,000, Texas IT,
500 and Arkansas $500.
CreVasseS in leVees along the Mis-.
sissippi river and other rivers are re-
ported to have destroyed $3.50 acres
of cane in Louisiana, and flood in

by, they discovered what Gods will
was about mixed marriages, and kee-
ing the Sabbath, ETC., and as soon as
they learned what He wanted done,
they did it. A revival of the Word of
God is always deep and heartsearch-
ing. If we can but get people to
study the Bible and teachers to
teach it-causing others to under
stand what Gods Word says-then
most of our problems are solved.
The outstanding thing in this re-
vival was the joy and gladness that
came. 1t was due more largely than
anything else to the fact which Ne
hemiah stated when he urged them
not to mourn for 1.-THE joy of the
Lord is your strength" What did
he mean? Several things. We speak
of the grace of God. the righteous
ness Of God, the love of God, and we
understand these expressions as
manifestations of God Himself.
Gods grace, that manifestation of
His character which gives us all
that heaven affords in spite of the
fact that we deserve nothing. Gods
righteousness, that inherent holi-
ness which can not tolerate the
smallest deviation from the entire
absence of sin. Gods love, that
element of Gods nature which is
the very essence of Himself and
which dominates every act of His.
So the joy of the Lord is Gods
Joy. Gods gladness, that element
which manifests Gods pleasure in
Himself and in His creatures. Gods
joy is our strength. Sorrow weak
ems, discourages, depresses us, cuts
the nerve Of effort. Gladness stimu-
lates. "a merry heart doeth good
like a medicine" Under the inf1u-
ence of joy physical effort may be
undertaken and carried through
which would be utterly impossible
to depressed soul.
Nehemiah, by revelation, knew
something of this; but back of this
he had another meaning. They did
not understand God at all. The law
which had been read in their hearing
was never intended to depress them
and make them mourn and weep.
Gods purpose in giving it to them
was to prevent mourning, to pro-
duce joy. This was Nehemiah S
thought. "You don't understand
our God; He wants you to rejoice
and be strong; therefore, He has
gwen you this law. This is holy
day, day for rejoicing and for
sharing your joy with others"
How often we do our God injus-
tice by our conception of Him. We
act as though He wanted to keep
us sad and long faced, when He is all
the time doing. what He can to fill
our lives with joy. Do you recall
that on that last night of Jesus life
on earth He said, "I will see you
again, and your heart shall rejoice,
and your joy no one taketh away
! from you-Hitherto ye have asked
nothing in my name. Ask and ye
shall receive. that your joy may be
full" And you will also remember
that it was said of Him that for the
joy that was set before Him, He en-
dured the cross, etc.
| So here is the cure for the cares
of the world-Get back to the Word
of God; cause the people to under
stand it. Let them know that Gods
! joy is at their disposalJ that He
wants to make their joy full, their
lives full of gladness; and that know
ing His word and His joy will bring
gladness into their lives-and with
| low strength

Sure Winner for

The work of Railroad Commits
siOner James A. Perry, who has an
nounced for reelection, has been
constructive and of general interest
and advantage to all the people. His
activity in providing better facilities
for the movement of farm products,
has resulted in great savings to
Georgia farmers.
Milling in transit privileges on
grain; canning and refining priv
ileges on syrup and molasses, and
application of the 10 per cent rate
reduction on velvet beans and cow
peas, effective last January, are all
results of his personal effort. He
wrote and introduced the resolut-
ion, soon to become effective, put
ting all Georgia shipping points on
the same equal footing, so that all
will possess the same advantages.
These have worked and will work
a saving of many thousands to the
people.
The West Point News, the only
paper published in the home town
of w. TroX Bankston, one of his
opponents, has repudiated Mr..
Bankston's candidacy and Endorsed
