The Tiger will come out on top somewhere, just never cloubt that. Some >use has been found for the bull moose. A lads life was saved this week by clinging to the horns of one of the) animals and being dragged to shore. The front pages of the Monday papers were tflilled entirely with murder horrors and suicides. It was veryily an appalling sheet for the peace loving man. Slit trousers are* expected in the realm of fashions for men. The first one caught iuj them ought to be tarred and feathered and the rest would stay decently clad. The canning club girls are making mor € money every year they operate and in this county their fathers have taken to the work and have saved thousands of pounds of vegetables. Why don’t you quit talking about skirts said a fair lady yesterday af ternoon and .after she walked away we fund out just why she wanted us to refrain at that particular time. 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. iraiTOBE DELAYING THINGS Matt ter of Providing Money to Carry on State Affairs, and Meet Obli gations, Puzzling One to The Legislators. 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. HIGH POINT N.

Atlanta, Aug. 6.—The Senate will endeavor to spend most of its time 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 go that measure one better. Among other things it will provide for a strong state commission with pow ers. exceeding those of the state board as recommended in the House hbill and struck out in the Sheppard substitute. It is promised as a practical cer tainty that the Finance Committee will recommend the passage of some bill by the Senate which will revolu tionize the present tax system Georgia. . . 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 and other calamities, these people have to undergo. AH we need there is to wake up, open our hearts and pocket-books, and follow suit with • Temperance Legislation Will Be Passed at This Session, Is The Opinion Now. Atlanta, Aug. 6.—If the temper ance measures are to be chloroform ed and put in the morgue for this session, the whole Senate insists in participating in the funeral cere monies. Exception has been taken to the fact that the Senate Commit tee on Temperance, without con- lting the whole body, shunted the temperance bill into next year— which is about the same thing as into kingdom come—-by the simple .these people here, who are making L.WIXG-ltY TIME** OF LIFE. The House of Parliament has of ficially endorsed buttermilk. Lots of us have proven our endorsement lung before the Commons ever thought of giving it tho seal of their approval. “If you don't stand by me now you are ajpack of cowardly skunks'' is reputed to a candidate for Gov ernor in Alabama.

The editor of the Brunswick News is authority for the statement that it is not easy to dance the turkey trot and remember the twenty-third Psalm at the same time. But as few of those who dajK« the turkey trot perhaph ever read the twenty-third Psalm, the great majority do ‘not have the same trouble that Editor Leavy seems to have experienced.— Thomasville Timea-Enterprise.

In the latter part of .July or the first days of August there Is the season when the last work yf cultivation has been done in the cotton fields and th€ corn fields. There is no more ploughing and hoeing to do for the present crop, and save for a little saving touch here and there the < rop is made—and the increase is left in the hands of providence which sends the rain and the sunshine, the iiot duys of ripening and the dews of the morning to bring out the growth.
