Their atten tion is called to the fact that the last season of the legislature passed a law requiring that all glnners make ap plication for license to the Commis sioner of Agrculture ana that such glnners collect for the next two years a tax of tweny-flve cents per bale on all cotton ginned, remitting this tax mommy to tne uepartment of Reve nue.

Therefore, it la directed that ginners who have not yet secured their license to operate write the Commissioner of plication for license, which should be filled out and forwarded Immediately. As a matter of information I desire to state that the tax referred to con. stitutes a fund which guarantees the integrity of the warehouse receipts is sued under the State Warehouse Sys tem, and that nine-tenths of this fund vdH Jie loaned for the construction of warehouses, the individual loan not to exceed fifty per cent of the total ware house cost.

COLONEL PERSON AND BARBECUE AT MOO HE'S POND. I The pepper In the barbecue was lit tle If any hotter than the pepper-in. the speech which Col. Willie M. Person served as an appetizer before the main spread Saturday at Moore's Pond in the county of Franklin. Colonel Person is still against tne Revaluation Act, still holds it reepon slble for much o?the ills tne Franklin flesh is heir to. Nor has the author of the devaluation Act by which Col onel Person, former Governor Bickett, gained in favor with the daughty au thor of the "Blue Book" as the months have passed. Speaking to a goodly gathering, which made no move tor the barbecue until It had heard him through. Colo nel Person warped the packet of State officialdom In a most wontmanly man ner. He spoke from a platform but not from notes, albeit he read figures once or twice In support of his conten tion that the corporations ? -especially corporation stocks ? were freed of pat ting out for the upkeep of the govern ment. the while the bamboozled yeo manry of Franklin and elsewhere were staggering along under from double to Ave times the taxes they should have to pay. Referring to Governor Blcketts's wi dow woman who thanked God "for re valuation." Colonel Willie said that she borrowed $65 last year with which to pay her taxes. Whether she Is now thankful, he neglected to say ? about that time he, too. remembered the bar becue. The faces of the poor, despite the grinding thereof by corporations and what-not, speedily surrounaed the soc culent shote and called it a day. Just exactly where Colonel Person has started, even his old neighbor* and friends are not at this time pre pared to state; but he gives one the Impression that he is somewhat dis satisfied with the established order. ?
