COUNTY TENT MEETING
CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT
OVER ONE HUNDRED CON
VERSIONS DURING THE TWO
WEEKS REVIVAL SERVICES.
The Terrell county tent meeting
closed Sunday night after accomplish
ing much good for the people of Daw
son and Terrell county. In every re
spect the meeting was a great success,
and the leaders of the meeting are all
very thankful that they were able to
do ‘much for the spiritual welfare of
the people in this connection.
There were over a hundred conver
sions during the two weeks of the
meeting. A still clearer index to the
spiritual effect on the people is that
there were 69 additions to the local
Baptist church, 3 to the local
Methodist church and 2 to the Sar
dis Baptist church up to Sunday night.
In point of af{fendance this was
probably the most successful meeting
held in Terrell county in years, and
possibly in the history of the county.
The crowds at the evening service
during the week ranged from 900 to
1.400, while the attendance on Sunday
night would have easily been 2,000
if the rain had not lessened the op
portunity for attending. The average
daily attendance for the morning ser
vices was around 500.
Financially enough funds were rais
ed to meet all the expenses of the
meeting. A detailed financial state
will be published later.

Monster Turtle Caught
In Kinchafoonee Creek
Was Caught on Common Set Hook
And“ Weighed 75 Pounds
A regular fish tale is reported from
the northern part of the county that
will rival in a way any of the similar
)smriv'\ that have been narrated about
‘that excellent pastime—fishing.
A seventy-five pound turtle was
caught by Messrs. C. A. Hautman,
J. W. Anderson and E. O Daniel on
Thursday night in Kinchafoonee
creek, near Mr. E. Dale’s home. The
monster was snared on a set hook
which had become firmly imbedded
in the tough tissues of,its throat. This
is by far the largest turtle ever re
port.ed to have been caught in this
section, and from all accounts was a
rare sight. The shell itself will hold a
half bushel of meal.
A number of the party ate some of
the tender meat of .the turtle and re
port it delicious.

] Up Automobile Taxes
$10,500,000 Additional Revenue for
Texas Through New Laws. .
CHlCAGO.—Millions of dollars
will be forthcoming from the pockets
of motorists in a number of middle
western states during this coming
year as the result of laws passed by
legislatures of the winter and spring.
Texas appears to have passed the
most radical increase. It is estimated
that $10,500,000 additional will come
from the pockets of motorists and
wholesalers of gasoline. Two taxing
measures dealing with automobiles
were passed in Texas. One places a
one cent tax on cach gallon of gaso
line sold by wholesale dealers, while
the other revises the present system
of motor license fees and increases
them approximately 100 per cent. It
is estimated that the gasoline tax will
net the state $2,500,000 and the -
cense fee increase will bring $8,000,-
000.
$3,000,000 More for Indiana.
Indiana now has a law imposing a
tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline,
estimated to yield $3,000,000 wvearly.
This will be devoted to good road
purposes. In addition the legislature
{ passed a law, effective next January
1, increasing the license tax on auto
mobiles.
I In Oklahoma a tax of one cent a
gallon on gasoline was included in a
bill passed by the legislature. This is
expected to yield $900,000 annually.
{ In Oklahoma City an ordinance re
| cently passed puts the charge for a
| city license at 50 cents and is expect
| ed to yield $lB,OOO to the city.
! Tax legislation in Kentucky, passed
|in 1922, which became effective this
| vear, is expected to net $300,000 to
i the state. s
i Higher Tax on Trucks.
| In Ohio 87 bills directly affecting
| automobile owners were introduced in
| the legislature, but the only one that
was passed increased the tax on mo
| tor trucks.
| Only one state showed a decrease.
{ This was in Minnesota, where the
{ method of taxing was changed. It was
| estimated that while tlie average car
| tax for last year was $l7 the average
| for this year will be $16.44. However,
! the legislature passed a bill to submit
i a constitutional amendment to the vot
| ers at the next regular election au
| thorizing the legislature to fix a tax
l on gasoline.
f lowa to Regulate Bus Lines.
| In both Michigan and lowa a tax
iof 2 cents a gallon on gasoline was
;passcd by the legislature, but was ve
| toed by the governors.
i In lowa a law was passed .placing
%motor bus and truck transportation
| lines under the superivision of the
| state railroad commission while a ton
! mile tax was imposed on these lines
! to draw from ‘them a contribution to
| the state highway maintenance ‘fund.
'A law was also passed requiring that
| automobile registration fees be based
| upon current list prices.
