$4,000 DECLINE
In MOULTRIE DIGEST

MOULTRIE, August 22.-Taxable
property of Moultrie shows de-
cline of approximately five hundred
and forty thousand dollars from 1927,
according to the city tax digest. The
figures are not exact. There is a
custom not to close the time for put
ting on tax books in Moultrie and
there is still a hunt for additional
pr operty going on.
The tax equalizers have completed
the major part of their work, and
they have not pressed the returns up
ward. To the contrary, they have III
some instances lowered the voluntary
returns of property owners in an ef-
fort to get the returns equalized.
The totalretulns IN 1921 were in
round figures $4,2OO,OO0. The re-
turns this year, at the present time,
total S3,660,000.

WAR AND PEACE
(Told In EIGHT Sketchss)
BY JOHN RAYMOND

The art OF warfare is as old as the
race i.sel: Warfare at first consisted
oi throwing stones. at the enemy or
hitting him w,th club.
The art slowly progressed. The
catqpult vas used for hurling good
.,,.rd re ks and the bow and arrow
served It's pur2oss in stand-off COM
bats. Thus j, went for many Gen.
ruries. Warfare consisted OF ninety
p,r cent hand to hand work and per-
haps tn per cent of shooting from a
distance.
Along about lj45 an old monk found
that gunpow Ter when properly ignlted,
gave vent to a pretty good sized noise.
England and France were at war and
the new invention was tried out at
tie battle Of Crecy with the result that
the horses became frightened at the
noise like thunder. Losses were heavy
and gur powder was voted success.
Warfare didn't advance greatly for
centuries. To be sure many improve
ments in guns and explosives were
MADE but the basic principle remained
the only way to put an enemy out
of commission was to hit him with a
projectilc.
On the morning OF April %, 1915.
warfare was revolu;ionizcd when a
cioud OF Chlorine gas was sent over
he Allied trenches wiping out whole
.egimen:s. This experiment proved
so successful that the war, opening as
t did, 100 per cent explosive, ended
IS per cent chemical
These war gases are OF particular in
