Shortly after the three were tracked by bloodhounds and arrested yester day morning, a mob, estimated at be tween 1,500 and 2,000 men gathered about the jail apparently set on lynch insr the blacks. The attack on thewoman was made early Saturday evening while her hus band was away, from home. She is in a serious condition. ' As soon as the crime was reported to the authorities, bloodhounds were brought from Kaleigh and put on tne trail. One dog picked a trail that led to a local hospital where George l rox ler was employed as a cook. Another dog put on the trail, according to au thorities, followed identically the same trail as the first canine, and Troxler was arrested. Two other ne groes found near the hospital were ulso taken into custody. When negro was placed in prison a crowd began to gather around the Jail until the number reached nearly 2,000, andv the situation appeared threatening. County Attorney Parker spoke to the crowd and urged the men not to resort to violence and advised them to let the law take its course. His talk had some effect on1 the crowd, but men continued to loiter about the jail .and the authorities asked Gov. Bickett for troops to assist in main taining, order. After the tooops ar- tiveu brother of the woman made a speech to the crowd and asked the men to go home. Then the mob dispersed. The authorities do not expect any further trouble. The negroes were taken before the woman but because the negro who at tacked her wore a mcs.k she could not positively identify the negro. Troxler, tile first arrested, has beun unrble to give a satisfactory account of him self Saturday evening the police say. The negroes are being held pending further investigation.

' j - Revaluation Places Rowan Co. In Fifty Million Dollar Class Value of Property in the County, Jumps From $18,000,000 , to $48,00O,00O,Withbut Considering the Railroad Property Rate , Can Be Very Materially. Reduced. Rowan is a fifty million county. Re valuation gives us a property valu ation, real and-"personal, of about $52, 000,000. The tax commissioners fig ures today stand at a round figure of $48,000,000, and there will be about $4,000,000 of railroad property which the commission does not handle at all, this being entirely in the hands of tht corporation commissioner, with this aded toxthe $48,000,000 there wilt be a grand total of $52,000,000. This sum is set down against a valu ation of $18,000,000 of, the year prior to this valuation, according to the old figures of valuation, under the old plan system. This larger increase means that the rate can be very materially reduced and the amount of i money received from taxes be as large or larger than ever before. It means a greatly in creased valuation on all property and much property brought to light, much put on the tax books that has here tofore escaped the pages of the tax records. The same is true of 99 other counties in North Carolina, where the revaluation has brought to the front millions of dollars not heretofore tax ed and in an earnest attempt to get Surplus on Hand at the Op ening of This Month. WAGE 70 CENTS HOUR The 1920 Wheat Crop Is Said to Av enge Better Than In Many Years. Is Beginning to Reach Hutchinson, Kansas Kansas City, Mo Jaly 00. The harvest labor situation In Kansas and the southwest is generally good ac cording to officials of the federal free employment "bureau ta.Kansas City, Kan., and Missouri Bureau of Farm Labor, conducted by state authori ties with federal aid in Kansas City, MO. ":- ' At the opening of this month a surplus of farm labor was evident. There were a number of instances of men who came back from the harvest fields declaring that they had been unable to find employment. At the, end of the first week in July scatter ed requests were received for more harvest laborers to be sent to coun ties in northwestern Kansas, a need which is being filled, according to the federal employment agents. ' " Generaly speaking the southwest , has been supplied with all the harvest labor necessary as soon as the wheat crop was ready for cutting this sea son. ' : is..:'- ' . A wage standard of 70 cents an hour agreed upon by farmers in the wheat belt of Kansas and announced thru the state labor commissioner, Sam uel Crawford, attracted many work ers. ''.V'v.; Inretfard to the cir situation, oper ating officials of the leading roads thru the wheat sections agree that there is at present an inadequate sup ply of available cars.. Plenty of cars have been ordered west, it is Btated but as yet they have not arrived in sufficient numbers. However, an offi- of the local . terminal company , in close touch with, the Interstate Com merce Commission declared that al though the car supply is still some what short, it is better than in other sections of the country and better than it has been here in past years. Kau road officials were not inclined to agree with this rather optimistic esti mate. ' . . The 1920 wheat crop is beginning to reach Hutchinson, Kan. It is. said to average better than for many years, testing from 60 to 6 2pounds to the bushel and bringing $2.40, to $2.60 per bushel. (Yields run from 12 to 20 bushels to the acre, farthers declare. "Grasshopper planted", wheat is re ported to have turned out well in many places. In their attacks on wheat fields last fall, grasshoppers cut the heads off the wheat, causing flftrh to drop to the'ground, which resulted in tracts of volunteer wheal Near Ly ons a grower reported a 20 bushel to the acre yield from a "grasshopper planted" tract. Extension of credits to farmers un able to market last year's wheat be cause of car shortage has been prom ised by federal' reserve boards ac cording to members of the Kansas committee .who have returned from Washington after conference with the interstate commerce commission.

The revaluation machinery hat been functioning for a; year or more and the great task is nearing completion. Governor Bickett is calling' the legis lature in extra session to hear the re port of the revaluation officials and make such plans and tax rates as will give, to the state an adequate revenue based on the new valuation of all properties in the 100 counties in the 'state. The revaluation figures that have come to light show that many pieces of real and personal properties have escaped the tax books heretofore, and much has been undervalued and un fairly valued. Ther haa been much discrepancy between eounties and be tween the individual nronertv owners as well as among different classes of taxable properties. The work of revaluation of all prop erties of the state is now about com pleted and the results will be made knonw as the reports come from the various eounties, and townships.
