Nine Counties Have Not Yet Made
Returns.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. lS.-There are nine
counties in Georgia which will be hauled
over the Goals If they don't hurry up and
forward their tax returns to Controller
General Wright. These are Clayton, CAL
houn, Irwin, Richmond, Telfair, Stewart,
Sumter, Dooley and Dougherty.
If the books are not received soon the
tax receivers viii be forced to forfeit one
half their commissions. The law requires
that the returns must be filed by Aug. Is.
The penalty for omissions is a 10 per cent
assessment for each day thereafter
against tardy receivers. Yesterday Chat
ham sent in her returns and they were
surprising to the controller general, for
they were the first from any city county
that showed any increase in values. All
the city counties heretofore received have
showed a falling off in values, but Chat
ham shows an increase amounting to
$751; O0

WHO WANTS THESIf
Two Men with Pistols, Knives and
Things, Held at VaIdOstn.

Things, Held at VaIdOsta.
valdosta, Ca. Aug. 1s-Two negroes,
giving their names as VIII Brown and
VIII Davis, were arrested four miles west
of here yesterday and were lodged in
Jail here on suspicion. The negroes had a
large number Of pistols, knives and hand
kerchiefs which they we're peddling
through the county. When arrested they
stated they bought the things of a negro
one and the police believe they have the
thieves who have been doing a good deal
of the robbery above here. The negroes
shipped cracker box full Of goods to
Dothen yesterday. and 1t is believed that
the goods in the box were some
which they had stolen They will be held
to await developments.
negro man came here yesterday from
west of the city TO get some medicine to
purify his blood. He explained that he
had been bitten by a large water moe
casin, and he felt that he needed some
thing to cleanse the poison from his sys-
TEN. The water moccasin is as poison
Gus as a ratuesnake, and why the negro
was not hurt by the bite is something that
cannot be understood.
There is talk here of organizing a carni-
val association, and work has already
commenced on another carnival for No
vember. Those who have it in charge say
that they are going to make it a very
much greater show than the one neld in
July. The object of the association is &C

TROUBLE OVER PENSION LETTERS.

Identification Required Before They
Are Delivered at the POstOmce
The recent rule of the postoff1ce depart
ment requiring Identification of parties re-
ceiving pension department envelopes
supposed to contain checks, is causing
some annoyance to pensioners.
The enforcement Of the rule by Post
master Haines was announced in the
Morning News some time ago. Since Il
went into effect identification has been
required in every instance of parties re-
ceiving pension department letters.
There are number of pen
sioners in Savannah who, although they
have been receiving pension letters
through the postoffce for years are not
personally known to the employees. A case
arose yesterday in which a pensioner was
required to prove his identity before he
could obtain a pension department enveI-
ope. Through a misconstruction of the
rule the delivery clerk also required proof
that the applicant for thel etter had serv-
ed in the United States army during the
war. This requirement will not be
continued, however. the mat
ter having been brought to
the postmaster's attention, and being
a misconstruction of the rule by the deliv-
cry clerk.
The fact of an attorney having drawn
the papers of a pensioner is not accepted
as identification. The postmaster is re-
Quired to satisfy himself fully that the
party applying for a letter is the party for
whom it is intended.
