STEWART WEBSTER
FAIR NEXT FALL
PLANS BEING MADE BY TWO
COUNTIES TO AGAIN HAVE
AN EXPOSITION.

HIGHLAND, Gait is practically
decided that Stewart and Webster
counties will hold another fair here
next fall.
This was settled when number Of
the former directors from both coun-
ties decided to begin active work to-
wards formulating plans, setting dates
and getting in touch with suitable at
fractions for the entertainment OF the
people during fair week.
A premium list will be arranged as
soon as the officials and committees
can organize their work for the year
and the youngsters are urged now to
begin looking towards producing the
best pig, best pen of chickens, best
display OF canned goods, best ten
ears of corn and numerous other pro-
auctions for which suitable prizes will
be awarded.
A greater and more varied premium
list will be arranged to cover more
exhibits this year than was made last
year in the limited time allotted in
getting up the list. The field will be
made much broader and nothing in
the way of farm products will be
left off this time

GEORGIA WOMEN
MUST PAY POLL
NAPIER RULES, HOWEVER,
THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO
TAX PRIOR TO JANUARY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Having received
inquiries from women all over Georgia
on the question whether they must pay
poll tax to -regiser for elections to be
held this year, Governor Hardwick re-
quested Attorney General Napier to
give him a statement OF the law.
Colonel Napier has advised the gov
ernor as follows:
/. Women were not subject to poll
tax prior to January /, 1922, therefore
they owe. no back poll taxes.
?. Women are subject to poll tax
beginning January l, 1922, which
means that they must pay a poll tax
this year, but they do not have to pay
the poll tax as a condition precedent
to registering.
8. The law does not require as a
condition precedent to registration
the payment of taxes for the year III
which the election is held, but requires
the payment of all taxes up to that
year. Inasmuch as women owed no
poll tax prior to this year, they do
not owe any back poll tax.
1t is pointed out, however, that wo-
men owning real estate must pay all
real estate taxes up to this year be-
fore they can register. II they have
paid their taxes they can register with
out paying their 1922 real estate taxes.
Indications are that the female reg
istration will be very large. The poll
ticians already are figuring with inter
est, not to say apprehension, concern
ing the feminine political psychology.
They do not know how to deal with
this new element. While they wafif
the women's votes and are ready to
make concessions to get them they do
not wish to make bid for the wo-
mems votes OF such brazen nature
as to repel rather than attract them.

FIVE AMERICANS
HAVE HUGE INCOME
A QUINTET OF FINANCIERS
PAID TAX ON $4,000, 900. WALL
STREET IS GUESSING.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Wall street
has contracted its brow and is specu-
lative1y chewing at the end OF tray
ed pencil A great guessing contest
is on concerning the identity of the
five citizens of the United States who
paid an income tax on net income
of $5,000,000 last year. The United
States revenue department has been
appealed to for the identity of this
quintet, but the department is main
tanning a discreet silence.
Wall street sleuths have made some
progress and have determined posi-
lively that two OF the privileged S.
0OO, 900 citizens are residents OF the
state of Michigan, while the remaining
three live in New York city Going
still further with their deductions, the
financial "Hawkshaws" believe for a
certainty that the Fords-Henry and
Esdell-are the Michigan members OF
the exclusive high-paying income tax
clique.
The elder Ford's extensive holdings
are known to insure him an income
we'll in the neighborhood OF $4,000, 900.
Esdell is a large shareholder in his
fathers company and, together with
the tractor company, is believed to
qualify for membership. But when it
comes to the New York city members
OF this particular quintet the Wall
street "Sherlocks" have torn their hair
and wilted their collars in their con-
centrated exertions and admit they
are stumped.

Earned Profit of Not Less Than $780,
600 Last Season. Managers, as Well
AS Players, Share in Prosperity OF
National Game.
Baseball has grown to be an eXpen-
sive proposition. 1t is estimated that
the salary lists of the 10 clubs Of the
two major leagues will aggregate more
than 100000 this season. The max
imum figures for any one club are
placed at about $225,000, and the min
imum figures a trile more than $780,
900. To this expense must be added
ground rent, travel charges, local,
state and federal taxes, interest on
mortgages, officers and clerical sal
aries, and minor charges such as ad-
vertising, ticket printing and supplies.
How Salaries Have Jumped.
George Wright, star shortstop OF
the Cincinnati Red Stockings base
ball team, played throughout the sea
son of 1869 for salary OF 81, 200.
Wright was the highest paid member
of the team. Babe" Ruth has signed
contract with the New York Amer
lean League club which will net him
approximately $4,000 during the COM
ing season. If continued Tor the fuli
FIVE wears he will receive a total OF
not less than $375,000. A dozen play
ers in each league now draw from
$12. 500 to $4,000, while salaries from
81, 500 to $4,000 are common.
These figures are the cause OF ire
ouent conferences behind closed doors
in which baseball magnates argue the
question as to wether they are build
ing salary Frankenstein which will
in the end turn and destroy what has
been in the past a highly profitable
business.
Despite the overhead, few major
league clubs are doing much worry
ing. Particularly the two New York
clubs. The New York American
League clubs receipts during the reg
ular season last year were estimated
at S2,O00,000. This was exclusive OF
world series profits
Earned Big Profits.
The Yankees paid 100000 park rent
al; the club overhead and official eX-
penses could not have reached So0O,-
! 900; and money spent for new play
ers did not amount to more than
| S250.O00 Thus, with not dollar in
vested in anything but baseball talent,
and after dividing with the visiting
teams, the club earned a profit OF not
| less than $750,00O.
The Giants, the National League
club in New York, were almost equal,
" fortunate. For, although they had
park to maintain and paid heavy
lease rental, this was more than cover

League use OF the Polo Grounds and
bv the receipts from renting the park
