A. & w. P. R. R. Protests sessment. Tax As- Atlanta Conutitution. It now appears probable that a board of arbitration will be necessary to set tle the question of tax assessment which has arisen between the State am* the Atlanta and West Point railroad, in which the railroad takes the position that it Iuih for a number of years sub mitted to what it considers excessive taxation without protest, hut is unable to do so longer on account of a falling oir of revenues due t.o a stringent busi ness year, in view of which it. asks the Stuto to reduce its assessment to the extent of approximately $1,500,000. This the State has refused to do. Correspondence between Charles A. Wickersbain, president and general manager of the Atlanta and West Point railroad, nnd Comptroller-tlener- ul Wright, in which the road contends for the acceptance of its 1915 tax re turns at $11,000,000 and the .State con tends for its figure of approximately $4,500,000, culminated yesterday in a letter from the Comptroller-General to Mr. Wickershum in which he refuses finally to accept the railroad’s figure. Two courses, the paying of its taxes at the valuation of the road ns as sessed by the State, or submitting the question to a hoard of arbitration, are open to tho railroad. Not having received yet the communi cation from Comptroller-General Wright ofllcials of the railroad would make no ollicial statement last night, hut indi cated that a final refusal on the part of the Comptroller-General to reduce the assessment would force the road to submit the question to arbitration. The letter was mailed from the otlice of Comptroller-General Wright late yesterday afternoon and should itrrivo at tho office of President Wickcrshani this morning. A board of arbitration to settle this question would consist, of a member of the State Railroad Commission, ap pointed by tile Comptroller-General to represent the Comptroller General, and a representative, not connected with hut selected by the railroad, to repre sent the railroad. In the event these I basis, is $2(>,G34. whil j but about $2.1,000. The contention of Comptroller-Gen eral Wright is that the Atlanta and West Point is not discriminated against in the matter of tax assessments. "The earning capacity of the Atlan ta nnd West Point,” .“aid Comptroller- General Wright Tuesday afternoon, "is much greater per mile than that of any other road in the State. It is true that the Atlanta and West Point does not operate as many miles of road as some other roads in the State, but practically every mile of this road is earning mon ey, while in the systems of other roads there are many dead lines which have many miles of little or no earning ca pacity. "The fact that the earnings of the road have fallen oil" this year cannot he accepted as a basis for the reduction of its assessment. This is only a tempo rary condition. The assessment was made upon the basis of lust year and the General Assembly has made its ap propriations based upon the expec tation of this income. To cut this as sessment, with the appropriations de pending upon it for payment, would leave the State in a terrible financial condition. Other roads have recog nized this and have agreed to accept the State’s assessment. 1 cannot see why 1 should make an exception in the case of the Atlanta and West Point. "The only reductions that have been made for other roads have been for property destroyed. In instances where additional property lias been acquired, the assessment has been increased. "I have stated to the Atlanta and West Point and to other roads that, in the event the decrease in revenues con tinues, I shall be glad to entertain the idea of reducing the assessments after the General Assembly has met and hud opportunity to govern its appropria tions accordingly, but nut before. "These assessments were fixed hy arbitration, and I know of no way that they can he changed now except by the same method. ” A Cure for Sour Stomach. Mrs. Wm. M.

Your mother tells me that you and she have been talking over the matter of getting a hired girl to do the housework.

So let’s put up a | little game on him. The next time comes A Platform of Diversification. Th** ProKTrfliive Farmer. The truth is that the time has come, all over the South, on every farm, and in every year, when the farmer who would succeed must, first of all, make his primary business that of feeding his family and building up his soil fertility. Just as surely as we look to these prob lems, attacking them with common sense, armed with modern methods, so will the bogeys of cheap cotton and hard timeB vanish and vex us no more. On the other hand, there is the other extreme to whiefi it is possible to go— the extreme of expecting, with limited capital and a still more limited knowl edge of the business, to convert in one year a run-down cotton farm into a paying stock farm or truck farm—and which may prove even more disastrous than the exclusive production of cotton. Livestock production is a splendid line of farming and a great business, but it is idle to expect an over-night transi tion from all-cotton to all-cattle. Rath er we must first meet the home demand for pork, beef, rnilk and butter, enlarg ing our production as we grow in expe rience and knowledge. In the same way, fruit and vegetable production may be made profitable when properly handled, but who will deny that our first, biggest and most profitable job lies in supplying our tables the year round with healthful fruits and vegeta bles? We have never held that cotton, as a cash crop, should not have an important place on the average Southern farm; but we do hold that cotton, grown year in and year out to buy food and feed that should be grown at home, cotton grown to the exclusion of crop rotations and at the expense of soil fertility, is a poor crop, and a crop that will break the average man. In other words, it is the abuse of a really excellent crop, rather than its legitimate use, that we protest against. Rear in mind, too, that in breaking away from a system that has meant poor farmers and poor farms, we are outlining a programme that is within the reach of every Southern farmer, large or small, rich or poor—a pro gramme that has already brought pros perity to thousands, and will bring it to every man who intelligently adopts it. Here it is— 1. A good garden, with something coming from it twelve months in the year. 2. A liberal patch of sorghum or Louisiana cane for syrup, not forget ting next fall to save a liberal supply of seed. 3. Not less than two or three good brood sows. 4. A yard filled with well-housed, well cared-for chickens, well supplied in winter with green crops to augment the egg crop and the family income. 5. Two or three good milch cows. (>. A liberal acreage of small grain, to be followed by peas, beans, or lespede- za for hay and soil improvement. 7. Cover crops next fall on every possible acre, so that fertilizer bills may he cut to a minimum. 8. Plenty of corn, planted on rich land, to supply the farm, with perhaps a surplus for sale. 9. Then the devotion of what lands and time may be left to the production of a reduced acreage in cotton. State Sunday-school Convention. The programme committee for the annual State Convention of the Georgia Sunday-school Association to bo held in Americus on April 29, 21 and 22, has f planned a programme in which more than sixty of the leading Sunday-school 1 workers from various parts of the State are to take part. The convention will have the privi lege of hearing at each session Mr John L. Alexander, of Chicago, second ary division superintendent of the In ternationa! Sunday-school Association Mr. Alexander is considered the world's greatest specialist on Sunday-school work among the 'teen age boys and girls. The music will be under the direction of Prof. E. O. Excell, of Chicago, as sisted by his pianist, Prof. Alvin W. Roper, of Winona Lake, Ind. Among the speakers will be Dr. Lan sing Rurrows, president of the South ern Raptist Convention; Mr. W. S. Witham, Atlanta; Dr. R. S Brank, Savannah; Prof. M. M. Parks, Mil- ledgeville, president of Georgia Normal and Industrial College; Mr. F. S. Eth ridge, Jackson; Mr, John J. Eagan, Atlanta; Rev. Chas. W. Daniel, Atlan ta; Mr. A. P. McKay, Rome; Dr. Ma rion MeH. Hull, Atlanta; Mrs. H. H. Tift, Tifton; Mrs. S. H. Askew, At lanta. Mr. T. M. Furlow, of Americus, is chairman of the committee on arrange ments, and the church people of Amer icus are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of all who attend. Ail white Sunday-schools in the State are entitled to three delegates, besides pastor and superintendent. Every Sun day-school is r< quested to elect three alternate delegates, who can take the place of any regular delegate who finds it impossible to attend. In case any school, or church that has no school, fails to elect delegates, the first three adults who register from that church will he delegates. Any others will be visitors. All trains will be met by the entertainment committee. Each dele gate will register, and will be enter tained free while attending the conven tion. The various railroads of the State have granted a low round-trip rate, which is but little more than half the usual price. From the office of the State Association in Atlanta comes the news that while there were870 registered delegates from 91 counties at the con vention last year, the probability is that the attendance will be better this year. From all sections of the State Sunday- school workers are planning to attend. The round trip rate from Newuan will be $4.55. Stomach Trouble Cured. Mrs. H. G.

President Wickersham, in a letter dHled April 5, made request of Comp troller-General Wright to accept the railroad's figure. This was the appeal that Mr. Wright on Tuesday refused. In addition to setting forth that this has been a lean year for the Atlanta and West Point, the officials of the road contend that it is assessed at a higher rate and pays more taxes than any other road in the State. The Atlanta and West Point claims that its hill for taxes is about $S7il per mile, as against only $379 per mile by P’e next highest road, while the gener al average is less than $452 per mile. The Atlanta Bnd West Point tenders to the State a total return per mile of $33,174. claiming that the next highest, as arcepted by the State on last year's To Drive Out Malaria And Build Up The System Take the Old Standard GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC.

Ciaincaville News*. There is a fellow in this county who does not take his home paper. He saves a dollar a year, in a way, bu: this is what it costs him: He gets hit nows second, third, or even fourth hanl, often weeks after it has occurred, al.vays stale, and usually garbled be- he j yond recognition. Ho knows little of the mercantile op portunities that are offered in the local paper each week, and because of this information he often pays more than is necessary for what he buys. He knows nothing of many of the important events that are to occur until they have passed—and it is then too late. He is never posted on city, township orcoumy affairs, his knowledge being limited to what others may choose to toll him. He is hovering on the ragged edge of everything that concerns his home community, while his neighbors who take the paper are wide awake and thoroughly conversant with local con ditions. He sees others leading the intellec tual van, while he trails along in their dust. He is really a bright fellow, but be cause of his lack of knowledge con cerning current events he is generally regarded as "slow,” Does it pay him to hold on to that dollar that would pay for his home paper a year? Apparently he thinks it does. But what do you think? Rheumatic Pains Relieved. Why suffer from rheumatism when relief may be had at so small a cost?

Greenville, S.C. — “It is with pleasuro I tell others of the great benefit I have derived from Vinol, for the past several years. I am 81 years old and I find Vi nol gives me strength, a healthy appe tite and overcomes nervous disorders. Vinol is the only tonic reconstructor I have used for several years. I have recommended it to a great many of my friends and it has always proved satis factory.” — Mrs. M. A. Hutchison, Greenville, S. C. Such cases as tho above are constantly coming to our attention. If people in this vicinity only realized how Vinol in vigorates old people we would not be able to supply the demand. It is the tissue building, curative ele ments of the cod’s livers, aided by the blood making strengthening properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol, that makes it so successful in building up strength for old people, delicate chil dren and for all run-down conditions. Vinol is also a most successful remedy for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis. If it fails to benefit any one who tries it we return your money. JOHN R.
