COUNTY HOMES NOT INCLUDED. In The 15 Cents Levy Limit Fixed For County Expenses. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. By J. ('. BASKEitVILL. Raleigh. May 12.—Those counties that are struggling along to take care of all their county expenses, including the upkeep of the county home for the poor and iuiirr.i, on the 15 cents levy for general county expenses, are being notilied today that the funds for the county: homes do not need to be included in the 15 cents levy, but that an additional levy, not exceeding 5 cents, may,-be spade for this mu-pone. This infornmCoij ; conratiure iti si letter to all the county auditors, front IM. Johnson, executive seertary of the County Government Advisory Com- , mission, as ft result of numerous pleas from various counties, where the -com missioners contended that it was im possible to keep their expenditures within the revenue yielded by the 15 cents tax for couiV purposes, But .many of these counties have been in eluding the expenses attendent to the ' operation of the county poor homes | in the amount yielded by the 15 cents tax. and were finding it a hard pmposi- 1 tion to make ends meet. Attention of the county auditors is j called to Chapter 24. Section 11)27, , consolidated statutes, which provides j that the boards of county commission—i ers may levy annually a tax not to , exceed 5-eents per SI (111 valuation, in addition to the regular 15 cents tax I for “the purpose of maintaining roads, ! bridges the upkeep of county homes ! for the aged and infirm and other ] similar institutions." The statute • further contains u clause "and to sup- j piemen t the general county fund," but .this clause lias subsequently been j found to be unconstitutional, although | the balance of the section was upheld i by the Supreme eourt. The entire section making this j provision was attacked by the Norfolk j and Southern Railway, when the com- j mjssioner of Pasquotank county levied | a rate of IS cents, 15 cents for the | general fund, and 11 cents for construe- t tion hud maintenance of bridges and i county home. The _ Supreme- ■ Court' j ruled that the extra 3 cents was lev j ied for a special purpose, and lienee ! was valid. MARKETING SYSTEM IC WRONG.

J Friday, May 13, T@27 for cotton at present for the farmers I to make a fair profit if the precent marketing system was changed. 1 "If Georgia and the South is ever |to regain a prosperous condition it ; will only he by the cotton farmers renl , iziug fair profits on their cotton crops. | “The ultimate consumers of the T-farmers' cotton arc the mills and, and ] they pay today and have been paving year in and year out, a "premium” (above'the market prices paid the farm ; ers. of from sls to SBO and even SIOO. pet- bale. j "If the marketing system was cor : reefed, so that the farmer would get | a fair division of the price paid by the mills, they would all be solvent [ farmers today. ) "The cotton industry is the only, | industry that is limited and regelated jb.v the UurtH States law in produc j tion and marketing. All the mills iii Southern states, under this regula tinn, buy their cotton at a price, which ] includes freight to New York. Nd | matter where the farmer is located, l bis cotton is sold under a ’one system’ delivered to New • York atulX ihe itfust pay the freight on every bale, 1 less six per cent for weight of bagging ‘and ties. j "Why not free the cotton farmers t from all government interference? [ Why not free the merchants of all I cities in the Southern states and per • mit them tl> buy cotton without taxing the farmer with freight to New York when possibly that same cotton is to j he ur.ed in a mill from the city where lit is shipped? j "Under this law uo Southern city j can be a delivery point fob cotton, ex ■ cept b.v the consent of the members jof tlie New York Cotton Exchange.” ! Paris has launched a number of frocks like this, sometimes for day | wear and sometimes for evening—and no one could object to the trouser idea when it remains as invisible as this. As a preventive of colds, workers in Japanese rice fields wear stockings made of human hair. JJ-". 1 11 1 -- ——
