North Carolina com-missioner of internal revenue, be re-strained by an interlocutory injunc-tion forbidding him to certify down the 1922 ad valorem valuations was refused by a three-judge federal court here iMonday afternoon fol-lowing argument. That was a clear victory for thi s'ale, another in the long staudin? tax dispute, but IV was followed h\ a victory for the railroads, thei attorneys securing for them a 45 day stay restraining the revenu onm'ssioner from any certification for that period. The stav was granted in order to allow the railroads to perfect their appeal from the ruling denying them an injunction, notices of which appeal they filed as Soon as the Killing was made by Judges Edmund Waddlll, Jr., of Richmond, ot Cir-cuit Court of Appeals, H. G. Con-nor, of the Eastern North Carolina Federal district court, and James E. Boyd. Western North Carolina Fed-era! court. The three judges were unanimous in their decision. ._y -^ ' Should the matter be not settled by decision' ot the Supreme court on the appeal of the railroads as to a termer chapter, the'denial of in-junction forbidding the collection ot tax in dispute in 19>21, which is scheduled to come up the first Mon-day in November, the railroads will be back at the end of the 45-day period asking for a continuance-of the stay, it was indicated today. The stay', however, means that while It is in force there cannot even be certification of the propor-tionate share of the counties, school districts and municipalities. There wijl not be payment of even the taxes due on the valuation admitted fair by the rajlroads while the stay in force. The SUMS at stake are very large. The Southern railway, appraised a ninety-six million dollars, contends that all over sixty million dollars is excessive and discriminatory. Figures for the other roads are: Atlantic Coast Line, appraised, fifty million dollars; admitted, thirty-four million; Seaboard, appraised, thirty-four million dollars, admitted twen-ty. seven million: Norfolk Southern, appraised, twenty-seven million dol-lars, admitted, eighteen million; At-lantic and Tadkln. appraised, four million-dollars, admitted, two mil-lion.

Paine Tells of Some of Reneflts Accruing to Farmers Through Development of Movement By 1. N. PAINR (Secrt-tary N. C. F. R. F.) The Farm bureau movement In North Carolina is progressing rea-sonably well in the counties where organization work is being conduct-ed. This is a natural outcome o' the educational program ot ih> North Carolina Farm Bureau, feder-ation and the County Farm bureaus. For more than $t year these- organi-zations have been putting out pub-licity matter that explains to tbe farmers ot the county and of the state the good that can be accom-plished by a strong farmers' organi-zation when backed by a body of In-fluential farmers in the local com-munities of the counties. . This educational work has result-ed in a demand from the leading farmers of a number of counties for organization work to be pressed whereby a_strong organization will be built up for the purpose of secur-ing for the farmers some measure of justice in transportation, legislation, marketing and other matters where-in the farmers have heretofore been unable, to receive the necessary rec-ignition for placing their,operations >n a successful business basis. These leading farmers no longer consider their business inferior to that of he business of any other group of citizens of tbe country. They con-sider .that since they own 52 per cent, of the wealth of tbe nation and pay 65 per cent, of all freight rates, and TO per cent, ot all taxes and really own and operate six and one-halCmllllon manufacturing plants from which they manufacture the raw material for tbe sustenance and comfort of 100 million inhabitants of the United States, and produce 44 per cent, of"the exports ot America, that they really are business men. and that their business should be conducted on as sound a basis, as that of banking, manufacturing, or any other business line of the entire country, Feeling this way they realize that a strong organisation such as tha> sustained by other business bodies is the means by which they can at- •ain their proper place in their rela-tions toward other business Indus-tries, in searching the field occu-pied by farm organisation, the Farm bureau naturally appeals to this class of farmers as it Is organised of farmers, for farmers, and by farm-ers, and has established different de-partments such as co-operative mar-keting, legislation, transportation, taxation, etc.. with expert, men In each of these lines as head of each special department. The fanners have-also studied the results obtain-ed by these departments and realise that these results justify them In aligning themselves with this organ-ization which Is nation-wide In scope, having more tnan one mil-lion and a half farmers in the or-ganization with 2.600 counties or-ganised in 47 state* io the Union. They have learned that the taxation department is working strenuously to see that the owners of the -other 48 per cent, of the wealth of the United States shall pay more than 30 per cent of the taxes of the country. They have learned that/the transportation department has been Instrumental In securing a reduction which has saved to the shippers of the country $240 millions within the last r2 months, and since the farm-ers pay 55 per cent, ot all the freight chargesithey consider that this re-duction represents a direct cash sav-ing to each farmer in the country. They have learned that this same -transportation department alone D0UGHT0NT0 SPEAKHERE ■ ————— i Sparta Man Coming On Oc-toberjl3 - N DEMOCRATIC MEETING --,--—z •'■ <*?J»»»rd - - J. W.

It also is announced that Clyde Hoey, oV Shelby, former congressman, will speak here on Oc-tober 28. "* Two speeches will probably be de-livered In the county, by Major Charles M. Stedman, of Greensboro, congressman from the fifth district. The major will speak in Greensboro and High Point, it is believed. On the night that Congressman Sted-man delivers an addrer> in Greens-boro it is expected that J. F.

Mr. Spruill will be heard by the voters at Gibsonville on October 10, Stokesdale, October 20, and High Point, October 26. Governor Morrison has been In-vited by Chairman Cox to make a campaign speech nere. but no defi-nite arrangements have yet been made for such an address. Norman A. Boren, of this city, secretary of the Democratic execu-tive committee ki this county, has made arrangements for a speaking campaign to extend into every sec-tion of Guilford. beginning on Oc-tober% It and continuing until the general election. Already meetings have been arranged tor-the follow-ing points; Summertield. Brown Summit, Oak Ridge, Gibsonville, Os-eeola, Alamanee, Pleasant Union. Brightwood, Whltsett, Pleasant Gar-den, Montlcello, Jamestown. Coifax. Friendship and Guilford College. The complete schedule will be an-nounced shortly. Speakers who. are expected to ad-dress meetings in" the county include the following: Aubrey L. Brooks, Chas. A. Hines, Senator A. M. Scales, R. R. King, Jr., F. P. Hobgood, Thomas J. Murphy, Miss Louise Alexander, George A. Younce, Rob-ert Moseley. J. V. Baggett. C. L. Shuping, R. J. M. Hobbs, E. D. Broadhurst and Julius C. Smith, of Greensboro, and J. Allen Austin and O. E. Mendenhall. of High Point. Clapp and Williams Sentenced To Roads For malicious Injury to real prop-erty Sherman Clapp, a young white man. in 'Municipal court Tuetdaw was sentenced by Judge D. H.

Judgment was suspended upon the payment ot the costs m the case charging; exploding dyna-mite. . Williams bad testified that he dynamited the gas tank of the Davie Street-Auto eachange, this city, after Sherman Clapp offered him $5 for the job. Clapp entered notice of ap-peal and his appearance bond was fixed at $5,000-. • More Diphtheria In County b Reported Considerable Increase In the num-ber of diphtheria cases was noted In the monthly report submitted to the county commissioners this week by Dr. William M. Jones, county health officer, who stated that largely simi-lar conditions prevail throughout North Carolina. Thirty cases ot diphtheria were reported during the month of. September, the report shows. Ton eases of scarlet fever were re-ported, five of them from Ollmer township, two from- Morehead, and one each from Oak Ridge. Deep River and Madison. Five cases ot typhoid {ever were reported. and single-handed secured a reduc-tion of one billion seven hundred million dollars tn the valuation placed upon railroad property by the owners of this property when this valuation was made for the pu-- pw of securing a .d per cent, divi-dend on the property as allowed un-der the Koch-Cummins law. Tbry have learned that tbe legislative de-partment has secured the passage of some 17 bills which favorably affect agriculture, and ha* been tbe means of defeating a number of bills tbaf would hove been unfavorable to our industry. They have been made to realise that co-operative marketing on ar commodity basis is the only satisfactory means for marketing their farm products, and so the cry if raised by the class of. farmers above, described, "Forward Farm Bureau."
