THE GLADSTONE OF VENEZUELA.
The Aged DR. PulidO, Former Vene-
ZueIau Minister Very LOW

NEW YORK, November 17.-Natives
of Venezuela resident in this city are
anxiously watching the cable dispatch
es for information concerning the con-
dtiOD of DR.. Lucio Pulido, the veuera-
BILE South American statesman and
known on that cOptiEe as the "Glad-
stone of Venezuela > Their anxiety
is due in 20 small d gree to the fact
that his favo' ite son, Senor Aueusto
Pulido, secretary of the Venezuelan
egation at Washing ton is on the high
seas homeward bound with the chances
about even that he will arrive in time
to take a last embrace of his venerable
oarS Mt. 1t is in a sen-e, race against
death, and the friends of Secretary
Pulido, who are legion, are hopeful
lat the work of the grim reaper will
not have been accomplished before his
arrival. DR.. Pulido, the dying man,
was once we'll known in this country.
He has represented Venezuela at
as well as in Holland,
Spain, Italy and France, and for two
years following 1851, he resided in
Washington for the purpose of con-
the negotiations then in
progress with Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state, concerning phases of
he Venezuela question then pending.

HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN.

Bring d Surprise.
you a lawyer or a doctor9

Are you lawyer or a doctors Nv
Ii so you have violated the law of
of the state of Geargia for nearly three
+. III you belong. to the, tooth pulling
fraternity you, too, have been practice
ing unlawfully this year.
Ehese are statements that are calcu-
lated to open the eyes of the profession
al men OF Dawson and Terrell county.
And we'll they should, for it is fact
that every lawyer, doctor and dentist
mas been practicing unlaWfully since
January 1st Perhaps this will be
news to professional men, but it is a
fact.
Y Few men seem to be aware Of the
fact that at the last session of the leg
lslature of the state of Georgia a law
was adopted providing that all law
yers, physicians, dentists and other
professional men paying a special IL
cense to the state should pay in ad-
vance for the privilege Of carrying on
their businesses. Heretofore this pro-
tessional tax has been paid in the fall J.,
when other taxes were paid. The new
law i'll regard to this, which was APP
proved December 23rd, provides that
this tax shall be paid in advance.
The reports for 1896 of the Georgia
Legislature were received by Ordinary
Roberts Thursday. On page 81 is
found the new law which was sur
prise to all. Not even the tax collec-
tor knew Of its existence. The profess
sional men didanot, and there it IS.
However, they need not get alarmed,
for Tax Collector Thornton has writ
ten to COmpGroller-Gen eral Wright
asking about the new law, and as soon
as he gets a reply will give them an
opportunity of paying the license.
The new law provides that it will be
unlawful for any professional men who
are subject to special state license to
practice before paying the tax. 1t
further provides that if it be found
that a nulla bona entry has, by the
proper authorities, been entered upon
an execution issued by the tax Collec-
tor against any person for non-pay-
ment of the tax and thereafter such
person person shall have praCticed and
received pay for the same he is guilty
of mlsdemeanOr.
Inasmuch as the professional men Of
this county have not been served with
such process, it is gratifying to know
that they have not been guilty of a
misdemeanor but have simply unknow-
ingly violated the law. #.#.H I
