The growth of this town depend t\ n inrli virlnnl efforts of its citizens, as well as upon the united efforts of its organizations. o Some men live for honor and then do not get it. Those who are benefitted curse them because they could not do or give more. o We lose if we take it and we lose if we leave it, is about the way it now is in regard to some things. Hut do we must. o The condition as regards prohibition just now we do not believe could be much worse. The time is coming when it is apparent the people must be taxed to death to enforce the law that the people! voted in. o Nine-tenths of a community will wink at meanness of one kind or another. We are sorry that it is true, but it is. o We are ready to dispute with all of those who claim that the fashions, as applied to women in this time, are even approaching the unchast. Unchastness comes from within and not from without. o All Hien should find a satisfaction in doing their best at what they have chosen to do. Take pride always in what you are doing, and not in what someone else is doing or wants to do. o He who thinks that all oi learning is to be found in schools and colleges is greatly mistaken. There is learning everywhere. Men have been educated and never saw the inside of the walls of a school building, nor heard a single precept fall from the lips of a teacher. (j TAV I'\< r.RT \l\TY. There is no tax hoard, local or goneral, in this county, that can afford to take the time or undergo the work and expense of examining every article of personal property that comes before them on the assessment lists to he valued and equalized. Tax returns are made by the individuals composing the political division in which the assessments are made. The value of each and every article is put down according to the opinion of the owner of it. It is well known that different men will place varying valuations on the same article of property. No two men will want to appraise the same article at the same price, and the only way that a hoard of apprai ;crs ever get together and agree upon a stated valu-] ation on any lot of property is for them to know what the other man has said and after the opinion of all the! board have been heard, then give a I valuation, which is a mean average among all of tho different amounts. So it is plain that tho tax duplicates of every county contain tho re suits of many thousands of individual opinions of each district owner of the property within that county. While the returns have doubtless been fingered by some one member, or perhaps more, of some hoard of assessors, yet in many instances the value placed by the owner: have to remain, for as above stated, no board can afford to go around over a v ii>.|p county, or even a township, and look at the personal property contained in the district. This being so, it cannot be disputed that the e is no regular standard whereby the values .'or taxation can be fixed. No standards fixed by the present melh:-.!s of assessment. The valuations vai'y according to the opinions of individual owners. Some men will place a high value on a very cor.imcn article, and perhaps, in their opinion, they could iiot do without it, while others, having articles of high price, will placc a low valuation by them at any time, These facts bring us to the conclusion that it would he just as well to pass a law and provide thereby 4 K. 4 ..p( Inlnw' /?<' nAi'unn'.tl V lllai> Ui liVILO wi tivi ovaiM! |/t . j,v. . V(, shall be taxed according to certaii fixed values as stated in the act Some years ago, when dogs wer< placed on the tax books to lie taxed ; they were all placed thereon at th< value of five dollars. A dog was i . dog, and is a doff still. A mang) cur not bigger than a labbit wa: worth as much as a good bird dog The best trained dog in the countr; was put down at five dollars. an< if a man owned a dog of any; kin< he knew he had to pay t;.xes on hin at the assessed valuation of five dol lars. This is only an example t show rwhat we are driving at in thi article. We mean to say that th passage of such a law would d more to remove uncertainty from th tax assessing business than nnythinj al.se we know, so long as propert V tax is the method of raising revenue. Let such an act place a certain value on the ox, the cow, the horse, the plow, the hog, the bed room set. the pump, the house cat and the mangy cur; and remember that a spitde will ho a spade. If a man owns dx mules that are hardly able to get up when they are down, by rea: on of old age, he will be taxed o.i them at the value lixed by the act. o SHOULD BE LOYAL. An association of men opposed to a farmers' co-operative enterprise can bring1 about its downfall very quickly unless the farmers remain steadfastly loyal. Many co-operative organizations have fallen through the weakness of members who could not resist the temptation offered by a fraction of a cent. When the opposition organization puts out a bait to catch you, try to remember it is only a lure to draw you from your own friends. Once you have deserted the bait is withdrawn. Stick to you?% friends if you expect them to stick to you. o BUSINESS IS GOOD. We average three to six calls a week for Stenographers and Bookkeepers. Why? There's a reason.

Nolan of Atlanta Addrosses Public Meeting at Craven Hall. Correcting the misstatements relaivc to the Ku lvlux Klan of Reonstruction days, the building of a nonument to the Confederate sollier, the rcenthronemcnt of woman lood and the upholding of law and rder?these are the purposes of the vu Klux Klan of today, according to 2ol. J. Q. Nolan of Atlanta, Ga., peaking in Craven hall as the perional representative of the Imperial Vizard of the Invisible Emph'C . The neeting was open to the public, Colin"! Nolan introducing himself in the tbsence of a presiding officer. The reorganized Ku Kux Klan, Colonel Nolan said, had been publish-1 td as a "negro-whipping, negro beat- ( ng organization," the hotbed of dis>rcler and the bleeding place of in endiarism and law violation. These barges, he said, were utterly with>ut foundation. "Since the organizaion of the order in 1915," he said 'there has never been a drop of blood shed, never a law violated by the Ku <lrx Klan." The order he said was 'ighting nothing, was "anti-nothing 'xcept wrong." The four basis tenets of the {nights of the Ku Klux Klan, Coloicl Nolan said are: "One hundred per .^nt, pure white, native born, penile, Protestant Americanism," 'white supremacy in the U. S.." the jternal separation of church and state ?ml "the elevation of tne nation* voinnnhood, the replacing; of the \merican wenan on the pcde-.tal upon vhich our forefathers i.laced her."
