GEORGIA GROWS IN WEALTH.
AN INCREASE OF TWO MILLIONS
IN TAX VALUES.
The Returns About in and the Clerks
Footing Them Up. Railroads
in Better Shape Than in
Years

The tax returns of the state show an
increase over last year of $2,OOO,OO0.
The total returns as approximated ill
reach $412,0O0,0OO as against $40, OOO,-
600 last year. These figures include the
taxes returned by the railroads, which
in themselves give an increase of more
than So, 100000.
Last year but few counties showed
an increase, but the figures this year
show that seYenty-six counties have in
creased the taxable returns. The larger
counties, and the ones in which are Sit
uated the large cities, show marked
deere Sc.
Fulton county is shy more than half
million.
Muscogee county is short one million.
or in exact figures S950,OO0.
lib county is short over last year
1884 900.
Chatham county gives an increased re-
turn of S181 ,000
Richmond is increased $28, 900; Tattnall
gives Sl75, 900; Sumter 100000 and Will
cox 100000.
IN the county of Irwin, where Fitz-
gerald is situated, the returns show an
increase of 1882, 900, which is a vastly
larger increase in proportion to inhabi-
tants than any county in the state. The
increase is due to the establishment of
fitzgerald more than anything else.
The state rate of tax last year was
"a 56 per 1000, ana the rate for this year
has been fixed at the SAINT.
The increase in the railroad returns
is more than 100000 alone. Nearly
all of the roads have returned their tax
able property this year at the same fig
ure they returned it last year, except the
main line of the Central, which gives in
more than 100000 over last year.
When the Central from Savannah to
Macon was built, by the terms of It's
charter it was to be exempt from taxa
ton. The Georgia and other roads con-
Structed at the same time were given
similar concessions. Last year, when
the Central changed hands, its charter
was forfeited and the road must pay tax
es. This item alone gives the state about
S2,OOO,OOO more property to draw upon.

DOCTORS TO BLACKLIST.
NO MORE PHYSIC FOR THOSE WHO
DON'T PAY.
The Agreement to Go into Effect the
First of Next January. ALI
Have Signed 1t.

The doctors of Dawson will, after
the first of January next, give no more
physic, except in cases of charity, to
parties who have availed themselves of
their medical skill and made no effort
pay them.
The physicians say that there are
many parties who use one doctor with
out paying him, or having any inten-
tlon OF paying him, until ashamed to
call upon him for further service and
then call in another and do him the
same way.
To protect themselves against such
people the physicians have decided to
blacklist them, and have entered into
the following agreement:
THE AGREEMENT.
DAWSON, GA, Aug, 81, 1885,
whereas, men in every calling take ad-
vantage of all manner of security
to protect themselves against loss, and
whereas, the nature of our profession
forces us, as rule, to accept a mere
promise to pay for our service when
called for, therefore,
We, the undersigned physicians
DUWoOh chO DTOulDUcu
by no desire to do anyone an Injustice
but actuated by the necessity of self
protection, give timely notice that af-
ter January 1st, 1897, we shall form
what is usually termed a "black list :"
on which will be enrolled the names of
all parties, white and colored, who
have in the past used either of US and
have not, in our judgment, made prop
er effort to remdnerate US for our ser
vice. We bind ourselves to do no
service nor to assist any physician in
rendering service to such party or par
ties until the debt or debts complained
of are liquidated except for a cash
consideration.

Oliver F. Gray, a colored republican from
Ohio, in speaking of recent statements as

''W hat do you think of the situati in
your own and adjacent states?" he was
asked.
Ohio is undoubtedly for Mckinley and
sound money. Owing to the education
al facilities in the rural districts the people
take the situation philosophically, and can
not be humbugged by baseless theories not

Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. In the last
