SALEM LEAFLETS


We are still having plenty Of rain,
but all farmers are practically
through laying by crops. Crops are
growing rapidly; seemingly rather too
much rain for cotton; not SO much
excitement over boil weevil now as
in first Of this month; in some fields
very little signs of weevil, while in
others considerable amount Of squares
have fallen off. Some farmers are
having the fallen squares picked up
and burned, where fallen in quantity
worth while.
The summer protraeted meeting at
Salem "A. r. P. church began last
Tuesday night and will continue
through the first part of next week.
Rev. J. N. Leslie, of Monticello, Ark,
will do the preaching. Mr. Leslie is
an able minister, and the pastor
Rev. G. B. Belts, and the Salem peo-
pIe are very fortunate il securing
his services for this meeting.
For some months past, Miss Katie
Lou Shoaf, of Covington, has had a
large and interesting music class at
the Robson High School building,
which closed last Friday evening
with a recital, This entertainment
was enjoyed very much by the pat
rons and friends of Miss Shoaf. All
the pupils Have made satisfactory
progress, but special mention Of
Misses Doris Lee Simpson, Frances
Boyce, Mary Elizabeth Moffatt and
Mary Alma MeQuiston is made. 1t is
gratifying to the patrons to know
that Miss Shoaf will continue her
class at this place.
Some of the rural schools in this
mart of the county opened this week
and others will likely open next week,
which is about a week earlier than
usual and is to the advantage Of the
country boy or girl who has to help
with the farm work.
We noticed the last few days that
Faulkner and Mccain, local mer-
chants of Idaville, are well prepared
to supply the ordinary school boy or
girl with needed books for the COM
ing term. They are kind of book
depository for this section of the
county.
In some of our recent Leaflets we
mentioned little on road working,
During last week and part of the
week before Superintendent j. W.
Darby, with the large caterpillar and
the workhouse crew, has done some
splendid work on the Atoka road
from the highway to Idaville. This
section of road never was before in
better condition every way than now
which, of course, is saying a good
deal, Contractor Walter Tanner is
also in this part Of District No. 7
working on other sections not SO
prominent.
The Hansonhurst Creamery truck
started last week in this part Of Tip
ton county. They now have two
routes and pass over these routes
every alternate day. Mr. L. K. Baird
Of Brighton, has the contract for Tip
ton, and Mr.. viii Huffman has
charge of the routes. Other routes
will be established as the business
developes.

the contract for lighting the Salem

ting in the plant the last few days

70 the Voters IF oton County:
By my efforts - the last State
Senate your county was taken out Of
The 10th district, where you were
dominated b. Shelby county, and
placed in the 9th district, where you
have b chance and some political in
dividuality. / did this upon the sug-
gestion and request of some of your
leading citizens and politicians. Our
counties are neighbors and / am sure
they have no good reason for disre-
garding and destroying the neigh
borly feeling which | very much hope
Will continue to exist between us.
May also call your attention to
the attack Of the Dresden Enterprise
on me, copied into last weeks issue
Of the Covington Leader. That paper
is published in Mr. CARROTS county
and is his political mouthpiece. By
half -truths, misrepresentation and
false conclusions as to my record in
the last State Senate it seeks to rob
me of pour support and confidence by
appealing TO the general discomfort

tax laws, which were passed before
/ became a State Senator. Under that
law the very high assessment for 1920
would have burdened you also for
1921. / drafted, introduced and
passed a bill providing for reas-
sessment Of property in 1921 thus
giving the opportunity of relieving
you of your high taxes in 1921. I'M
der that law assessments on farm
lands in Upton county were reduced
from $12,966,522 in 1920 to $10,468,-
$40 in 1921, and town lots from 49,
1855 in 1920 to $2,142,575 in 1921.
A similar reduction in assessments
was made in Weakley and other coun-
ties in the 9th district. Any fair
minded man can see this law resulted
in reducing assessment and in a re-
duction of taxes for 1921 in every case
where the county court did not raise
the county tax rate for 1921. That
article copied a part of protest ]
made against an article written rela-
tive to this bill in the Nashville Ten
nessean, and it, is thereby sought to
connect me with the Roberts tax
laws because they are known to be
unpopular. If all my statement had
been set out it would plainly appear
that / was only insisting on equality
Of taxation, which no honest man or
TAXPAYER can or would object to
and this was the only part of the
Roberts tax law | was endorsing.
Why didn't the Enterprise tell all the
facts; that | introduced a bill having
for it's purpose relief Of the taxpayer
from the centralized power of the
State Tax Commission, and the
political machine to which Mr.. Gar
rett belongs, prevented its passage?
Mr.. Garrett was and is a very i'm
portant part Of the Roberts Tax Ma
chine that visited these laws upon
the people.
The statement relative to exempt
ing bonds Of incorporated towns and
cities from taxation is equally mis-
leading and insincere. This policy
has been adopted by former legis-
lature. The Enterprise should have
thrown a fit about it before | ever
went there if was wrong Why

about Mr.. CARROTS raise Of salary

he entered Congress to $500 per
year after he had been in Congress
only two years.
It also raves because | voted to
assess women with poll taxes. The
polltax law was amended by providing
that all citizens over q years of age
should pay poll tax. This was neces-
sary in order to make the payment Of

Democratic caucus and a pure Demo-
cratic measure to prevent the whole-
sale voting Of negro women ike so
many cattle by Republican politicians.
No Democrat can or would object to
this measure for the protection Of
the white man in the South
Mr.. Garrett knows the falsity Of

Those who believe in alliance can
not for a moment object to this alli-

IF an alliance is a good thing for

words, that was to be expected. 1t
was logical.
Certainly if Russia and Germany

their debts and open up trade, it or
dinarily ought to have a favorable eff

Lloyd George complained. and very
properly complained, in his opening
speech that the European powers
STA and Germany evidently concluded
that so far as they were concerned,
they would quit 'snarling' and adjust
their matters as between themselves
They seem to have gotten together out
of a sheer matter of self defense and
also out of a sense of great lonesome
ness.
After it was determined that the
Versailles treaty could not be changed
or modified or reparations taken up
and adjusted, it seemed to me very
improbable that a general conference
would accomplish anything except
very superficial things. The basis of
reconstruction in Europe, the basis of
economic health in Europe is a COM
plete revision of the Versailles treaty
and readjustment of reparations."
