commonwealth was St. Cloud, tt
which in 1857 had come that crusad
er, Jane Grey Swisshelm.
/. In January, 1853, she began the
publication of an antislavery news.
paper called the Visitor. She attack
ed not only the institution Of slavery,
but also its leading exponent in St.
Cloud, General Cylvanus B. Lowry,
who lived Tin semi-barbaric splendor,
in an imposing house on the bank of
the Mississippi, where he kept slaves,
bringing them from and returning
them to his Tennessee estate at his
convenience.
One night Mrs. Swisshelm's print
ing office was entered by three men
who smashed the press and scattered
the type. Nothing daunted, she Sc
cured subscriptions for the purchase
of new equipment. The publication
of the story of the destruction of her
plant brought libel suit, whereupon
Mrs. Swisshelm gave "bond in the
sum of $4,000 to retract the state
ment and promis never to use the
Visitor as political organ" One
more issue of this paper, containing
the promised retraction, appeared. A
week later "the st. Cloud Democrat,
with Mrs. Swisshelm its sole owner
and editor made its bow to an as
founded public" Undisturbed, she
continued the publication of her pa
per under the latter name for several
years.
The story of Mrs. Swisshelm's St.
Cloud experiences is included in an
article on her career by Lester B.
Shippee in the Mississippi Valley His
torical Review for December, 1920,
and is told by DR.. Folwell in the Sec
ond volume of his History of Mime

nesota Historical Society.

rescue of the heroine from a speed
ing boat and the scenes in the lion.
den where the villain disposes of his
enemies. These are but few of the
incidents that have tendency tt
make the hair stand on end if such
a think is possible.
'The Eleventh Hour" is straight
melodrama and is offered as such. II
is daring and mystifying in theme,
keeping up a rapid fire succession Of
thrilling events that intrigue and new
er allow the interest to lag It will
be shown at the Caughren Wednes-
day and Thursday Dec. 1920.
Charles Jones and Shirley Mason
have the featured roles and deserve
let of praise for their fine work. We
doubt if any serial could have taxed
their versatility and endurance more
than the things they are called upon
to do in this Carter story. Other
players contribute equally effective
work especially Allan Hale who is
cast as the arch villain. Richard
Tucker, Walter McGrail, June Ell
vidge, Fred Kelsey and Nigel de
Brlllier round out the cast.
q
Stories of big business have al
ways been of keen interest to the
average motion picture fan, especial
ly where it shows how a mans gen.
Jus can overcome obstacles Such a
story as this is contained in "The
Rapids" the feature attraction ap-
pearing at the Caughren Theatre Dec.
21-22. This is Elimination of the
popular novel by Alan Sullivan and
features Harry Morey and Mary As
tor in the leading roles.
The average fan as well as the bus
mess man will find all sorts of in
terest in this production, especially
those scenes that show the interior
of the pulp mills and iron foundries.
To the lay mind little is known about
how paper is made and where and
how we get our iron for buildings.
The interior of these two mammoth
building enterprises has been brought
into the story in such a way as to
add materially to the interest. In
fact, it is considered by some, that
these scenes are really a feature in
itself, inasmuch as it shows the MAX
ing of pulp from the time the wood
IN tree form enters the plant until it
IS turned out as paper.
Aside from the educational value of
these scenes it is stated that a strong
and dramatic story has been offered
as well.

tackled by rheumatism, ''The Ole

originally short sketch aclled "Josh-

fined to his room by the malady, was
unable to do his song and dance num-
Der, and he wrote the sketch 'Uncle
JOSH for future use. Later it was
expanded into three-act play and
finally rewritten and rechristened

The settings. especially that show
ing the old homestead and the vii

stroyed by a storm said to be one of
the most realistic ever pictured.

detailed to guard valuable property

which will be on view at the Caugh-

A packet of money, $4,000, fur
nishes the basis for many thrills in
the picture. But the money is
counterfeit; that is, it is film money.
So the guards weren't detailed to
watch the money, which is valueless.
A string of real pearls, insured for
thousands of dollars, is another valu-
able article that is the basis of many
thrills and as many laughs in the
picture.
Probably the best way to give you
an idea of why "The Eleventh Hour"
grips and holds the attention is to
mention few of the many harris
ing incidents in it. Those that stand
out in memory most conspicuously
are the terrific explosion at sea; the
spectacular scenes at an ammunition
factory where worker loses his life

hero and heroine through torpedo |

CUMBERLAND COURTHOUSE,

today in the case of r. o. Garrett
after the jury had failed to agree
and expressed belief no agreement
was possible. ... ,...-
Garrett, county clerk, was charg-

nine for a manslaughter verdict and
three for acqu:ttal. AS a formality
in declaring the mistrial Judge

to stand. aside and the others then
likewise were dismissed.
Judge White stated r. o. Garrett
would continue under $25, 900 bond

STATE TAX VALUES
|. ARE SLIGHTLY OFF,
But SATISFACTORY

A net loss of a little over four
million dollars" in taxable values for
1923 compares favorably with loss
OF seventy-nine million in 1921 and
seventyfour million in 1922, accord
ing to Tax Commissioner Henry j.
Fullbright.
"Of the 100 counties in the state,
12S showed losses in tax values in
1923, while only 80 showed in
creases," said Commissioner Full
bright. "The losses aggregated $685.
628,911, and in one instance I or
dered a further decrease of ten per
cent on lands, amounting to $780,
522; in three others L ordered ten
per cent increases, amounting to
$847,174. Thus the net loss in the
1928 counties was $24,91S,259.
1.-The aggregate gain of the 50
counties showing increases amount
ed to 20,908,S76, SO that the net
loss is a little over four millions.
This will be reduced slightly by the
final figures from Dougherty coun-
ty, and compares with loss of sew
entyfour million in 1922, and sew
entyhine million in 1921"
The 30 honor counties announced
by the tax commissioner are: APP
ping. Ben Hill, Burke, Bib, Camp
bell, Cherokee, Clay, Clinch, Column
bia, Decatur, DeAalb, Dougherty,
Echols, Fulton, Gilmer, Habersham,
Irwin, Jenkins, Lanier, Mitchell,
Muscogee, Pickens, Rabun, Rich
mond, Spalding, Stephens, Talbot,
Troup, Epson, Ware, Warren and
Whitfield.
Believing that the returns of
mountain county were too low, Com
missioner Fullbright wrote the tax
collector suggesting an increase.
Upon receipt of the following letter
he decided to let the returns stand:
Dear Sir: I met with the tax as
SCISSORS and county commissioners
Yesterday. He authorizes me to say
that the raising of our returns is out
of our hands an altogether with you.
But considering our resources l
think the land values in this coun-
ty are about equal to those of our
neighbors. 1t is 23 miles from the
county site to the nearest railroad,
not a manufacturing plant of any
kind; no high schools or colleges,
and no industries whatever-just
pillow, hoe, dig, make liquor and cuss
to the hearts content-that's all.
Exercise your own judgment. Please
return the digest as soon as posi-

YOUR courteous letter"

Arkansas Justices
Speed Fines Arouse
High State Officials

Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)

copyright, 1929
FORT SMITH, Ark, Sept L.
Franklin county. Arkansas, has a
special constable stationed along the
county's hard-surfaced road by a
justice Of the peace to exact a tax,
it is charged, from all automobiling
strangers. And verify Caesar, in all
his wisdom, could have framed no
stranger system OF taxation.
For instance, if you drive Ford,
the tax is $3.50; a Buick, or Stude-
baker, $14.50; Packard, $21.5O: a
Rolls-Royce-but there's no such
case on record. The formal charge
is speeding, but the ''fine" is scaled
to the make of automobile you
drive, it is said.
Tourists, not wishing to be done
as allegedly these Romans do them.
daily are registering complaints with
county officials. They don't know
the names of the emperor and his
Horatious, but they understand the
working of the system. Citizens and
officials of the county today are
joining with these victims in pro
testing. The matter is in the hands
of Attorney General Utley, at Little
Rock. At least $4,000 has been col
lected by the strategists from tour
ist, it is charged
Literature on the subject has been
prepared and distributed by tourist
agencies. Strangers thus are
warned Of the deadfall. Many are
said to be lodging Franklin county's
hard-surfaced roads. The end seems
near for the unique tax system.
