STEVENS MAKES A SAYING.
The New Commissioner Cuts Down the
Tag Bill $4,000.

nag Dill @4OOO.
ATLANTA, Nov. II. -Commissioner
of Agriculture Stevens closed contract
today for tags by which he saves $4,000
| to the taxpayers of Georgia.
| This item brings to mind the late in
vestigation OF the agricultural depart
ment by the Blalock committee, at
which time it was developed that the
price paid for tags was A. cents per
1000, and according to their investiga-
ton these might have been had at "a
cents.
Today Mr.. Stevens has demonstrated
what has been said about the business
method of this department under the
new regime by closing contract for
tags at 81 cents, cents under the low
est price given out by the Blalock COM
mittee and IA cents under that paid bv
his predecessor.
This makes a net saving of $4,000 to
the taxpayers of Georgia. In other
words, by one ac5 Commissioner Stevens
has made his salary for two years.
Assistant Commissioner r. F. Wright
was sworn in and took charge of his
branch of the service today. He is one
of the most competent men in the state
and his popularity seems to grow daily.
Mr.. Wright seemed at home when seen
at his desk, and acted like an old hand
at the business.

WHAT THE DIsPENsARY HAS DONE

Reduced Taxes $500 Per 81 900, and Con.
sumption of whiskev 40 Per Cent.
From member of the board of COM
missioners THE News has learned some
interesting facts connected with the dis
pensary.
BY reason of it's earnings the people Of
the county will pay $500 per ST 900 less
taxes this year than they otherwise
would Rave had to pay; the consumption
of liquor in the county has been reduced
at least 40 per cent; the whiskey sold is
absolutely pure, as 1t is shipped direct
from bonded warehouses and distilleries
which prevents any possible chance of
its being adulterated; no whiskey below
80 proof is sold, while before the dispen-
sary was established much of it as 10 y
as go proof was sold to the people.
The affairs of the dispensary have
been most excellent managed in every
respect, and it has proved very beneficial
in both a moral and financial way.
