If ever the Legislature needed an
impetus for a tax equalization meas
ure that would straighten out things
conclusively, in Georgia, they have
it in the returns of the counties of
the State, as reported from Atlanta.
There are more counties showing a
decrease than an increase out of
the sixty odd, which have reported.
The loss in tax values in that tier
of counties amounts to something
over three million and the gain
about two million, five hundred
thousand.
Whatever reason there is for this,
we cannot imagine. The taxable
property in every county in Georgia
should show a substantial increase
in normal conditions. When the
property 6hows a decrease there is
something radically wrong — so I
wrong that it needs immediate and
persistent attention from the law
making bodies of the state. Even
South Georgia has been criticised for
i»a share in this loss. Thomas
county shows a loss of fifteen hun
dred dollars. Brooks loss was over
two hundred thousand and that in
Berrieu three hundred thousand.
Why this is thus, nobody can imag
ine, unless it be that the tax-dodg
ers a:*e getting in their work.
This report, distressing as it is,
conies at a time when the finances
of the State are in a deplorable con
dition. The appropriations exceed
each year the income and the teach
ers of the country schools are made
to suffer for this condition. Gover
nor Slaton has stated that he would
veto any bill that carried with it
appropriations that would exceed the
income. The Governor can never
do a more worthy thing for the
State than to follow this course. He
has suggested a raise in taxes for
two years to pay the teachers, and
get on a solid basis for all time.
This should be adopted without
quibbling.
Meanwhile, some counties need at
tention as far as their tax returns
are concerned. Few, if any persons,
pay on more than they consider a fair
valuation. Thousands pay on about
one-fifth of what they could actual
ly get for their property, and think
then that they are doing quite
enough. It is a dodging system that
puts the major share of the burden
on the honest tax payer or the one
whose visible property is so meagre
that it is taxed for almost full
value. What is the remedy? A
system that would compel a fair
valuation on every piece of real and
personal property that is turned in
for taxation. Until that is done, the
burdens of the government are not
evenly carried by the people of th
State.
slaves to fashion that they will use
dresses that cause every passer-by,
whether maa or woman, to turn and
stare, always with some unfavorable
comment? The immodest costume
is too often supplemented by a roug
ed face. That this style of dressing
has been adopted by women whose
position and character should war
rant a better example is one of the
worst features of the present time.
It is time for American women to
be independent of the mandates of
fashion-makers, when by following
them one must sacrifice comfort,
modesty, and beauty.
There is need lor an educational
%
propaganda by good women on the
subject of dress. The schools have
already begun it. At the School of
Household Arts, in Boston, the girls
make their own graduating dresses,
choosing their own designs and
spending within $5 for them. In
California there are schools where
but $2 is allowed for the graduat
ing gown.
The school has set the example to
the home. It is for mothers now
to amolify and enlarge the school
training by definite teaching as to
what constitutes a well-dressed
woman. Education of taste is not I
to be over-looked i:i the education
of girls.
The trade schools for girls give a
course which includes the study of
lines for dress, ns well as combina
tions of color which ar*» artistic.
However simple the material of a
dress may be, it has style when
made on good lines.
Suitability of the dress to the oc
casion, modesty, comfort, beauty are
fundamental requisites of the well-
dressed woman. Any style which
abrogates these principles violates
the laws of good taste.—Ex.

Atlanta, Aug. 6.—The old Ma-
homet-and-the-mountain parable Is
somewhat applicable today to the
appropriation situation in Georgia.
Prayerful and desperate efforts were
first made to make the revenue go
to meet the autogo, and failing to do
that the diametrically opposite
means has been taken, in the Sen
ate, and tho outgo has been cut
down to meet the revenue.
The quarter of a million and more
dollars which the Senate peeled off
the general appropriations bill be
fore passing it means that if the
bill is passed in that shape—which
it will not be—the Income and ex
pense of the state would aboue gee.
The.House, however, is not going
to stand for all, or nearly all of the
cuts made in the Senate, so that
some pretty hot wrangling is on the
program for the next few days.

Atlanta, Aug. 6.—The Senate will

during the remaining week of the
session in -consideration of ques
tions relative to taxation and tax
reform.
One of the measures to be intro
duced in the Senate, as a substitute!
for the original Lipscomb bill, will

other things it will provide for a

High Point,. N. C., Aug. 1
Editor Time»-E;fterprise,
Thomasville, Ga.
Dear Editor: r am now spending
a few days in this beautiful and
hustling little c»ty, but before leav
ing I thought I would give you a few
dots aa to conditions in and around
the city.
High Point Is indeed a great man
ufacturing town—just what the dear
old town of Thomasville so justly
deserves to be. This town is sec
ond in the United States to Grand
Rapids, having within its limits
forty-one well-established manufac
turing plants, which give employ
ment to several thousand persons.
They have several large hosiery rac-
torl2s; three glass factories, several
large furniture factories which make
all the furniture that is sold in the
county, and hundreds of car loads
are shipped to other states. They
have one large silk factory, a large
organ factory, an iron bed-stead fac
tory and others too numerous to
mention.
The farmers here take great pride
in raising a first-class article of cot
ton which Is bought here and made
jL.to c.oth, underwear and hosiery,
(which altogether puts this county in
a very prosperous condition and
there is but little suffering here for
want of work.
A poor horse or mule is
something you neve;* see here. They
are always fine looking and well
kept and every man tries to excel
his neighbors in every way.
You seldom see a town the size of
Thomasville that has not a well-
equipped street car line, which adds
greatly to the convenience and prog
ress of th etown. They manufacture
street cars in this city, and they are
shipped all over the country. The
people here are alert to all kinds of
manufacturing enterprise and sub
scribe very liberally to this cause.
South Georgia and Its Opportunities.
We have hanging out there the
greatest opportunities of any coun
try on the globe. We have the best
farm lands, the best health, and far
less liabilities to storms, drouths
