CITY TAX RATE
OF 70 MILLS LEVIED
Taxes Due Today, Must Be Paid
Before December Slight
Income Decrease

The Mayor and Council Tuesday
night fixed the city tax rate for
1924 taxes at 20 mills, the same as
last year, and declared that all city
taxes must be paid prior to Decem-
Der /, after which date extra costs
will be levied, as has been their GUS
tom for the past twoyears.
The levy of 20 mills is divided be-
tween the several city departments
as follows:
For general government ----5 mills
For Public Schools .-.-..--.8 mills
For Sinking Fund ..-..----------3 mills
For Floating Debt -.---..---4 mills
Twenty mills, says the city treas
urer will produce an income of APP
proximately $4,000. Last year s
income from 20 mills was t$1l,-
394.26. However, taxable values
were reduced by the assessor this
year around $4,000, which would
reduce the city income about $4,000.
A definite figure could not be Civ
en- by the treasurer because some
corporation returns have not yet
been received from the STATE COMP
troller general. These include the
railroads, telephone and telegraph
companies, the light and power COM
pany and a few others. These tax
able values are expected to remain
about where they were last year.
"City taxes are due today" said
Treasurer Gatewood, and they
must be paid on or before Decem
Der 1. After that date extra costs
will be levied, as has been our Gus
tom for the past two years. and
there will be no deviation from this
rule"

QUITMAN, Oct. /. Atlantic Coast
Line train No. 81 en- route from
Jacksonville and Savannah to Mont
gomery, running forty minutes late
when it reached Quitman this MORN
ing at o'clock plunged into the
flood waters of Piscola Creek be-
tween Dixie and Pidcock, ten miles
west of Quitman an hour later.
That no one was injured, in the
opinion of Conductor Wilkinson and
Engineer Maynard, was nothing
short of miraculous.
When the train pulled out of the
station in Quitman, Engineer May
nard and his fireman, were joined in
the engine by Conductor Wilkinson
and Trainmaster D. E. FcLeod, and
all four kept close watch for wash
outs as they had been notified that
the water had reached dangerous
proportions.
Three miles beyond Dixie, while
ploughing through a two-mile swamp
of ragin gtorrent, the engine sud
denly lurched and took a nose dive
into the flood.
The fireman jumped but the other
three stuck to the engine and all
four swan for the cars, none of
which had left the track except the
express car.
No one was injured and the pas
sengers behaved as though they were
accustomed to wrecks.
The negro passengers were hur-
ried into the white coaches and the
white passengers were given the
Pullmans. The passengers were
completely marooned for six hours
as all attempts on the part of res
cuers failed until 9 o'clock this morn

ASSEMBLY,
WILL APPROVE JAP
AMENDMENT TODAY
Interest Of Delegates Center AS
sembly Hall Where Report
VIII Be Presented

GENEVA, Switzerland, Oct.
l.-(By the Associated Press. J
The intense interest of the
delegates to the League of Ma
tons conferred this forenoon on
the assembly hall, where it is
expected that the amended pro-
tocol on arbitration and securi-
ty would be presented by NJ.
BOLTS, Of Greece, and DR.. Be-
mes, of Czecho-Slovakia. Mr..
Politis and DR.. Benes are report
ers, respectively, for the first
and third commissions of the
League.
There is no doubt but that the
text of the amendment will be
approved by the assembly, ac-
cording to those conversant with
the inside working of the peace
discussions.
In the discussion Tuesday proml-
nent delegates took pains to empha-
size that the solution of the Jap
anese difficulty through therevisioh
of the protocol strike sno blow at the
sovereign rights 0 Estates. 1t was
also noticeable that they took special
pains to ally any misapprehensions
of the American people when they
repudiated the charge made during
the last two days at Geneva that the
amendments presented by the jap
anese were aimed at certain othe-'
powers.
Another feature of the final dis.
cussior was the remark of Signod
Sciaioia, the Italian jurist, a way
had been opened for the discussion
of problems of a social and political
nature, for the solution cf which no
machiner previously had been pro-
vided Before, said the Italian
spokesman, the protocol had empha-
sized the solution of ju1idical dis
putes, but now all other, he was c, n
WINGED, could be solved under the
provision sof the revised protocol.
The Japanese solution was foand
by making two amendments to the
protocol. BY the first it is provl-
ded that when a question in dispute
is held by the world court or the
League council to be a matter sole
ly within the domestic jurisdiction
of state this decision shall not pre-
vent consideration of the situation
by the council or by the assembly,
under Article XI of the League Gov
enant.
The other amendment provides
that country shall no. be presum-
ed to be an aggressor if a judicial
sentence has been pronounced
against her unless she fails to sub
nit the question to the council or
the covenant.

SHANGHAI. Oct. by
the Associated Press. - The
Kiangsu forces fighting to gain
possession Of Shanghai from the
Chekiang army, launched an of
fensive at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morp.ng nine miles southeast of
Sunkiang, q long the line Of the
Shanghai tIangchow railway
hrining across the stream where
the Chekiang forces were en-
trenched.
Thousands of refugees are
pouring into Shanghai today
from Sunkiang because of the
activities by the armies there
yesterday and which is continu-
ing with sporadic firing today.
Neither side has yet resorted to
its artillery, say wounded Chekiang
soldiers coming in from the battle
front.
The battle started Saturday with
of an offensive by the
Chekiang- Shanghai forces against
the besieging Kiangsu province
armies.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight the muf-
fled roar from the war front some
score of miles distant Shanghai that
the entrenched fighters still found
strength to continue their conflict.
When they retreated, Chekiane
leaders asserted they left 400 dead
on the field. Chekiang leaders also
claimed that their soldiers had cap
tured and were holding an advan-
tageous salient nthe Hwangtu area.
The attack, it was said, was ox-
pected to develop along the line Of
the Shanghai-Hangcjow railway
which runs through Sungbiang. Com
manders from the three provinces
were said to be assembling a power
full military machine with the idea
Of pressing through and attacking
this city from the south.
