Mr. Warren Carlton, a worthy and
industrious young farmer residing en
Mr. J. W. Bowers’ plantation in the
Second district, was struck by light
ning Monday afternoon about 4 o’clock
and instantly killed. A valuable mule
the young man wsb riding was killed
by the same bolt. He had been plow
ing in a nearby field, and when Tues
day afternoon’s storm came up he took
his mule from the plow and started
home, but was stricken before ho had
covered more than half the distance.
Deceased was 22 yearB of age, and a
son of Mr. M. C. Carlton. He was
unmarried. The funeral and inter
ment took place at Haralson Wednes
day afternoon.
The large cattle barn on Hon. Henry

was burned to the ground. One thous
and bushels of corn, three hundred
bushels of peas, fifty tonH of hay, fif
teen tons of cotton seed meal, and a
quantity of oats, all stored in the barn,
were also destroyed. There was $900
insurance on the building and $2,000 on
its contents, which covers about half
the loss. The burned building wus
perhaps the largest and best-equipped
barn in the county, and Mr. Camp has
the sympathy of everyone in his mis

convention, reviewed the operations of
the new tax law, and showvd that tax
values under the. equalization plan had
increased $85,557,517 in 1914 as com
pared with the returns for 1913. The
increase in the value of improved farm
land alone amounted to $40,284,822,
nearly two-thirds of which had not
hitherto appeared on the tax digest.
In some counties as much as 50,000
acres had been brought to the tax
books which had for many years es
caped taxation altogether, and that

this unreturned land the tax rate in a
number of counties had been reduced.

$1,030,905, Meriwether $1,737,637, Car-
roll $356,782, Troup $949,504, Heard
