WESTWOOD, Mass. Aug. 8. -
Five persons, including two women
and boy, were cut and bruised,
three men were aroused and the
farmhouse of Stephen Illsley, in the
lslington district here was wrecked
Sunday, when a meeting of some
three score Ku Klux Klansmen was
broken up by a mob of 500 per
sons. The meeting was the first
attempted since the state police an
nounced that the department no
longer would afford police protec
ton to khan gatherings.
A stone thrown at the speakers
stand started the rioting. and in
stantly the air wis filled with mis-
sizes. The three local constables
were unable to preserve order.
Many of the klansmen reached their
automobiles and escaped, but about
a score took refuge in the Illsley
house, which Immediately was sur
rounded and stoned.
Every window in the house was
shattered and much of the furniture
was ruined by hail of stones and
sticks. A score of police from four
towns aided by four state troopers
finally dispersed the crowd and es-
corted the klansmen to safety.
In the automobile of two of the
men arrested, P. w. Libby and Roy
Hall, was found a rifle and two re-
volvers. They were charged with
having concealed weapons. William
G. Moore, of Westwood, was arrested
on the same charge. Officers said
ne was carrying a lead filled brass
pipe.

Measure To Enact Stare
Classification Tax Due
In House This Week

ATLANTA, Aug. 3-The commit
tee substitute bill providing for an
amendment to the constitution to
authorize the General Assembly to
enact classification tax law, which
has been reported to the house. was
expected to come before that body
early this week for consideration.
Speaker Neill announced last
week that the bill would probably
come up on Saturday, but when
Saturday came the House was still
busy with the general appropriations
measure, which takes precedence
over all other legislation.
The committee substitute meas
ure, which, a member of the com
mittee has stated meets with the
approval of Governor Walker, who
has urged such legislation, would
amend section two, article seven, of
the constitution, by striking out the
first paragraph of the section. In
place of this paragraph, the bill
would insert a new paragraph au-
thorizing the legislature to levy a
classification tax.
No property, the bill provides,
could come under the provisions OF
a classification tax except "cash,
stocks and bonds or foreign and
domestic corporations, bills and ac-
counts receivable, mortgages or
other evidences of indebtedness,
leaseholds and all other chooses in
action, and all other intangible prop
erty, not including in such intangi-

Vast Amount
of Paper Used
inScOpes Trial

The amount of paper used in
the Scopes evolution trial held
recently in Dayton, Tenn, if
made into school books, would
supply the whole State of Ten
nessee with text books and
there would be plenty left, ac-
cording to an Atlanta paper
manufacturer.
This is based on the vast
amount of paper that was used
in taking notes, preparing legal
documents and newspaper pub

1t was estimated that 1000
newspapers carried an average
of one page each day from the
time the trial began July 6 un-
til it was ended. This did not
take into consideration the
enormous amount of paper that
was used when Scopes was first
charged with a violation of the
Tennessee evolution law and
the wide publicity that the case
won through the newspaper be-
fore Scopes had come into the
limelight.

A griculturaI Outlook
Continues Favorable
In GeOr gia COuntieS
Hogs This Season Are Probably
Approaching the Peak of
Price Cycle

The 1925 agricultural picture is
painted in bright colors by the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture in
a report to the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture this week. As
business conditions also continue
good, the combination presents an
optimistic outlook, the department
says.
Promise of recovery in all branch
es of the livestock industry is indi
Gated. Heavy steers have been
bringing higher prices than last
year, hogs are nearly double the
price of year ago, and lambs have
been higher priced.
Hogs this fan are probably APP
preaching the peak of a price cycle,
the department believes. 1t points
out for the guidance of producers
that some far-sighted hog raisers are
already considering probable heavy
pig production in 1926, and lower
price levels thereafter.
"Truck crops are coming in for
share of price recovery this season"
the report says. early estimates
suggest a potato production of only
about 81 bushels per capita, which
would be on a par with those we'll
remembered shortage years, 1911
and 1919. Onions, cabbage, mel
ons and peaches have been selling
at two or three times last years
prices and seemingly have a brisk
fall market ahead.
Grains last month added to hay
and late oats. Corn is making ears
now and looks good as whole. Cot
ton has lost ground in the western
belt by reason of drought, but indi-
cations still point to a good sized
total crop. Potatoes are a decided
ly smaller acreage than last year
and promise smaller yield but
nevertheless may make more money
for producers"
The departments general index
of purchasing power of farm pro-
ducts in terms of non-agricultural
commodities remains at a level Of
90, compared with a five-year pre-
war level taken as 100.

Ask FEDERAL.
And STATE AID
FOR ROUTE 3
County Commissioners Would
Pave Entire Length of Road;
Begin About April l

Federal and state aid were re-
quested by resolution Monday by
the Board of County Commission
ers for the completion of Route
three from where the present hard
surfaced paving now ends at the
county line. A resolution was adopt
ed guaranteeing the financing for
the survey and turned over to Dis
trict Engineer Alderman, repre-
senting the highway department.
The steps taken this morning are
preliminary to the beginning of the
paving some time next year, prob
ably about April /.
1t is expected that the Plains
road paving will be completed
around November 1st or before.
Immediately the entire road gang
and machinery will be thrown into
the county to repair and regrade
all of the county roads. The COM
missioners stated that no new paw
ing would be started until after all
of the county roads were put into
good shape. "There has been some
complaint" Chairman Ray said,
"and it is justifiable, but we have
been compelled to neglect orr sand
clay roads while doing this paving
However, as soon as the Plains road
is completed, we shall begin going
over the county roads and put them
in fine shape again"
