G.orrIn popull.,. shlrk Ta,...

The Populists, representing the country
counties in Georgia, have been charging
the state government with all sorts of dis
elimination in tax levies against the farm
ers. To meet this charge the legislature
several years ago appointed boards of
equalization to see that the assessments of
property were uniform in city and coun-
try. This caused such howl among the
Populists in the country that the succeed
ing legislature repealed the law and re-
stored the practice of every man giving in
his own property. An investigating com
mittee now at work has discovered that in
these Populist counties blocks OF land
ranging from SIX to twenty-five thousand
acres of land have been lost, and the as
founding fact is developed that 1900 900
acres are unaccounted for. This discrep-
ancy comes from people in the country eX-
clusively. The investigation was called
for by MI Blalock, member of the legsla-
ture from the rural county of Fayette
The first big shortage OF returns he
stumbled upon was in his own county,
where 1000 acres were unaccounted for.

Mass

Residents of Wilmington, Mass, are
greatly excited over two holdups that oc-
Cured Saturday night, probably by the
same man who held up the motorman of
an electric car on the previous night in

returning home with his family when a
man poked his face into the carriage and
ordered Mr.. Gilchrist to stand and deliver.
The latter whipped up his horse and reach
ed home in safety. Just then he heard
two shots fired and few minutes later
two bicyclists called al MIR. Gilchrist' 5
house, saying that they had been accosted
by a negro who ordered them to stop.
They refused and the highwayman fired
two shots, one of which broke a bicycle
chain, forcing the riders to dismount and
walk to the house.
