County Board or Reuiew Opens Sessions Monday
A Approximately 5O,OOO Tax
 Assessments Will Be X Passed On In Year

The Jefferson county board of tax |review, whose business it is to pass upon all assessments of property for |tAxes, will begin its work Monday morning. It was created by the state Legislature at its last session, being composed of Tax Assessor l.. R. Dillon, Ewho automatically becomes secretary, 'and the five members of the board of srevenue.
 The board was formally organized February p, when Lacey Edmundson
 Vas unanimously elected president. It
 s required to pass upon every property assessment made by the tax assessor, 5who fixes the assessment at the same fmount as the previous year. Mem Pers of the tax review board must be

 After it's work is completed, the boards records are open to inspection, so that all property owners may as- pertain the amount of their assess nents for the new year. Protests may pc had against increases, and hearings Pn these protests will begin the second Monday in June.

27 Women To Face Court ,
 On Whisky Law Charges
Federal Court To Open Monday With Judge
 Grubb On Bench

Twenty-Seven of the 93 defendants who face trial in United States court here this week are women. an examina- ton of the docket revealed Saturday.
 One woman, Mrs. Mary Windham, is charged with illegal use of the mails All the others are under indictment for alleged violations of the prohibition amendment.
 This is the largest number of women to face trial at one session within the memory of the veteran federal court attaches. The courtroom probably will be crowded to hear the testimony in their cases.
 Court Opens Monday
 According to the docket. the dry law violations laid to the women range all the way from rum running to partici- patton in liquor-drinking parties.
 Court will open at 9 o'clock Monday morning, with Judge w. I. Gruhb on the bench. The grand jury will con- vene at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon to begin investigation of nearly 100 cases in which persons have been arr rested.
 k. Court officials expect that the criminal docket will be finished by Fri day evening. The grand jury's de Alterations probably will be concluded at the same time. The following week will be given to civil cases, but less than half a dozen are expected to be tried at this time.
 If prohibition were not a federal law, all the cases slt for trial this week could be disposed ot in less than day, court officials assert. Of the 93 cases set, S7 are alleged rebellions against the drouth.
 Ten In Prison
 Only 10 of the defendants whose cases are scheduled are confined in the jail The rest were released on bonds, but federal dry agents say the bonds were made heavy enough to justify the belief that most of them will show up for trial. If not, bench warrants will be issued.
 Outstanding among the cases to be heard is that of G. c. Stone, charged with having impersonated a government officer. Stone has retained counsel and will fight the indictment.
 Another important case is that of J. C. Jinks. charged with postal law vio- lations in an alleged fraud scheme. This will be hard fought case.
 Three cases involving illegal traffic in dope" are on the calendar and scores of others await grand jury ac- tion.
 Double Trials Ditched
 This will be the first term of United States court since city, county. state and federal officials formed their law enforcement agency several weeks ago. A number of federal officials, including Judge Grubb, participated, and one of the plans approved was that, except in aggravated cases, there shall be no dou- ble-tri.Es for one dry law violation. In other words. persons tried in state courts on liquor charges will be let down light in federal court and vice versa.
 Judge Grubb has never been a strong believer in double trials. Once, while presiding in Atlanta district court, he assessed fines as small a $1 against defendants who already had paid" for their offenses in the state courts.

 STORMY WATERS

Immortal Seven Holdouts' Appear Tuesday Before
 WOmen's League
MEDICOS REPARE
 SLATE FOR RACE
Huey, Edmondson, Reed, Waldrop And Smith For
 tunate Ones, Belief

Oil was poured Saturday on the troubled waters in which seven of the 24 candidates for the board of revenue are sailing towards the primary of May 13.
 The pouring was done by Mrs. J. M ! Hankins, president of the League of Women Voters, who announced that the league expects these seven aspirants to appear before it Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock and state plainly where they stand on the issues in the race.
 League Displeased Moreover, series of significant ques- tions will be fired at the candidates. These questions are we'll remembered by the r contestants who were guests of the league last week. The seven men who could not be present will have their inning Tuesday.
 Newspaper reports" said one of the seven," indicate that the league put the boys through the hurdles last week and l guess we face great test, since there will be only few candidates to quiz this time."
 It is known that officers and members of the league were displeased last week at the indefinite replies given to some of their queries. and indications are that the candidates before Tuesdays session will be asked to "get down to brass tacks."
 While the women voters meeting is expected to be the leading event in next weeks campaign activities, it became known Saturday that many rallies will be held throughout the county.
 Medicos Have Slate
 Interest also centered in the unoffi- cial announcement that the Physicians Civic league has prepared slate" of five candidates for which its members will wage an intensive campaign. Or gazined labor forces. several days ago, through the Allied Labor council, off cially indorsed R. R. Moore and gave ''clean bilf' to four other candidates
 According to information in court house circles, the doctors slate is com posed of Thomas E. Huey, Lacey Ed mondson. k. J, Reed, W. J. Waldrop and R. E. Smith,
 Political observers say the doctors have made plans to wage a vigorous fight against w. B. Copeland, member of the present board, on the ground that he did not give full measure of support to health measures. Copeland has denied this implication and asserted that he voted for every health measure that ever came before the board during his term.
 To Oppose Ball
 D. c. Ball, member of the revenue board, who now seeks the office of coun- ty treasurer, also will be opposed by the doctors, it was stated.
 Only 25 campaigning days remain be- fore the primary, and in view of the fact that few candidates have yet placed their races in high gear, observers look for spectacular drive until the finish line is reached.
 Other races on which the people will vote in the primary also gave signs Saturday of warming up this week. The belief of the politicians is that the voters this year are taking a greater interest in the races than ever before. For this reason record vote is ex- pected,
