TELEPHONES IN MARYLAND
NUMBER 144.5OO.

Officials of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company esti-
mate that there will be a total of
26.200 new telephones actually in
stalled during this year in Mary
land. AS usual, large number of
telephones will be disconnected, so
that the total net increase in the
State during the year will be about
$500. There are now about IA
500 telephones in Maryland.
Last year in the whole country t.
$4,000 telephones were moved
from one place to another by the
Bell System, at a cost of more than
$15.000,00O. In Maryland during
1921. there were 23,437 connections
and 1888 disconnectiops, in spite
of the fact that telephone subscrib-
ers are probably the most stable and
permanent portion of the States
population.
To most people, the connecting or
disconnecting of telephone seems
a simple operation of installing or
removing the instrument. AS a
matter of fact, in every case it
necessitates changes in the cables
and wires overhead or underground.
1t also necessitates changes in CEN
trail Office wires and switchboard
connections; in subscribers accounts
and directory listings; and frequent
ly requires the running of new
drop" lines from open wires or
cables.

WHY MERCHANDISE SHOULD BE
EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.

The practice of levying State and
City taxes upon stocks of merchan-
lise held for sale in addition to the
heavy Traders. License our mer-
chants are compelled to pay is both
Unjust and unwise.
Baltimore has exempted merchan-
lise in the hands of manufacturers.
Many of our local dealers compete
lirectly with these, as well as with
lealers in other cities where more
enlightened tax methods prevail,
and it is only fair that they should
lot be Disseminated against.
Taxes are levied for public ex-
,enditures. These, wisely made,
lirectly benefit real estate and By
financing it's value. tend to increase
,ents. Our merchants, after being
.axed to pay for the improvements,
re therefore called upon to pay for
hem over again in higher rents.
The whole idea of taxing mer-
chandise is unsound. Merchants
AIRY smaller stocks than they other
wise would, thereby reducing the de-
mand for fioor-space. 1t discour-
sges the development of business
enterprises, lessening opportunities
for employment.
1t is said on good authority that
he great Simmons Hardware Com
any turned down Baltimore as it's
EASTERN distributing point, locating
n Philadelphia instead, mainly be-
ause Baltimore taxed merchandise,
While Philadelphia did not. The
Ford Motor Co., Butler Brothers,
snd Sears Roebuck & Co. are other
Instances of concerns finding Phila-
elphia more attractive to business
Enterprises than Baltimore. Such
Nappenings of course diminish OPP
Dortunities here and hurt real estate
ralues--our real taxable basis.
Stocks of merchandise are ex-
mpt from taxation in every City in
pennsylvania, and virtually so in
View York State as we'll. A small
Mercantile tax on gross, sales is
WED for state purposes in Pennsyl-
ania which takes the place of our
tate Traders License. This is lev
ID on Retailers at the rate of So
pr the first thousand and 81 for
lch additional thousand of gross
lies; and on Wholesalers at So for
he first thousand with SO cents for
ach additional thousand of gross
sales.

lants is on their average value OF
lock in trade.
Besides this, merchandise in Mary
nd is taxed at the full rate for
late and City the same as real

RESPECT FOR LAW.

It is ticklish business for any
citizen to claim the right to violate
a law of which he does not approve.
That rule, carried to it's logical con-
clusion, would make all laws farce
and we should then. have condition
Of society similar to what prevails
now in Russia. Every man has his
equity in stable and effective gov
eminent for it means that his prop
erty and the lives of himself and
family and their rights are safe
guarded and protected. When re-
spect for law is broken down, all
rights are put in jeopardy. If you
and l break the laws we don't like,
another man will claim the right to
follow our example and will violate
other laws, the enforcement of
which are vital to society. A cam
paign for the repeal of an objection
able law is sound exemplification
of good Americanism; but cam
paign to discredit by its violation, a
law which the majority have enact
led and which the minority can not
repeal, is as dangerous as to lead a
mob or start fire in a dry forest
on a windy day. So no citizen who
loves his state, and no newspaper
which seeks public confidence and
patronage should counsel the viola
ton of any law, no matter how un-
popular and unjust he may think 1,
to be. A bad example is more con-
tagious than the bubonic plague

RAIL ROAD SHIPPING FAClL-
tiles AND MARKETS

Monroe County has three great
railroads Mobile & Ohio r. R..
the Frisco r. R. and the Illinois Cen.
trail R. R., supplying fast freight
mail and passenger trains, some of
which are operated by electric pow
err. These Railroads serve all sec
tons of our county.
Aberdeen, our county seat, has
three railroads, with IS passenger
trains a day. We run fast livestock
special trains to the East st. Louis
National Stock Yards, three trains a
week, on passenger train schedule
one nights run; also trains to the
Memphis Stock Yards.
Aberdeen has fattened and shipped
more fat hogs in the past four years
than any other town in the South.
Mr.. Link Harbold, formerly Of Iowa,
the largest hog feeder in the world,
has fattened alone, in his great feed
lots here, over 10000 head of hogs
in the past four years. He has ten
feed lots in Iowa, Missouri, and Miss
issippi, and has stated time and
again that he considered his lot here
the best hog feeding lot in the United
States. On his lot he has 5 big
flowing artesian wells, and several
big barns, 100 feet long, with con-
crete floors, self-feeders, concrete
automatic drinking fountains, ETC.,
and uses thousands of gallons of
butter milk day, in connection with
corn, alfalfa, tankage, etc, from the
Aberdeen Creamery, which is the
largest and best equipped creamery
in the South.
Monroe County and Aberdeen are
very fortunate in the fact that they
adjoin the great coal and iron fields
Of Alabama; also being just short
distance from the great Muscle
Shoals and Wilson Dam power plants,
which, when completed, will be one
If the greatest hydro-electric plants
n the world, and on which the gov
,rnment has already spent over sew
,nty-fve million dollars. We are also
fortunate in being close to all of the
,reat seaport towns on the Gulf of
Mexico, having direct steamship
ines to all Central and South Amer
can ports, and the Panama Canal.

I lands, and these surveys were re-
corded in the United States Govern-
ment Land Office at Washington, d.
c. Then these same lands were pat
ented to these Indians and the early
settlers of 1920 to 1910. The Indian
names appearing in some Of these
patents are rather interesting. We
find such names as Ut-lah-la- cha, In
Mah-No-Lubby, Shim-mah-fees-ka,
etc. These direct grants by patents
vested in the Indians and early set
tiers the most substantial title known
to the law, and they became the alb
solute owners of the lands in fee
simple, viz. with perfect title.
AS large plantations sprung up,
they were bought and sold, and com
plete records kept at the court
houses in the several counties of all
transfers beginning with the patent
from the United States down to the
present time; so that the title to
these lands are as perfect as can be
found in any state in the Union; and
are, as rule, in better condition
than the titles in most of our states.
1t is interesting, in making alb
stracts and examining titles to note
that in this section the records show
that practically all of our lands
either double or treble in value every
ten years; all of which shows that no
better investment can be made any
where than the purchase of Northeast
Mississippi farm lands.
Mississippi also has the Torrens
system of title registration. The OBJ
ject of thi system is to simplify,
quicken and cheaper the transfer of
real estate, and to render titles safe
and indefeasible. Under this system,

LAND TITLES IN NORTH.
EAST MISSISSIPPI

To those who are contemplating
purchasing lands in Northeast Miss
issippi, the matter of land titles will
be of interest.
This section of the state was for
merly the home of the Chickasaw
Indian Nation, and throughout the
prairie belt will be found many his
toric Indian mounds, pow-wow sites,
battle grounds, on which can still be
found Indian arrow heads and many
other reminders of the day of the
American Indian. Under the treaty
between these Indians and the United
States Government, practically all Of
the lands in this section of the state
were taken over by the United States
government. The government then
caused surveys to be made of the

use of certificates, the state of title
is shown conclusively at all times,
and any person who owns lands in
Mississippi can, at small expense,
have their lands registered under this
system.
