a SUGGESTION FOR THE TAX COM.
MISSION,

In the course of his address before the
Southern Industrial League in Atlanta on
Tuesday, Mr. J. f. Hanson of Macon
said: I'VE should make mortgages non
taxable, because two men should not be
compelled to pay taxes on the same prop
erty, This would cheaper money to all
real estate owners, especially land owners,
who constitute a large proportion of pop
ulation, and who need cheap money more
than any other class"
Will the tax commission, in making its
report 10 the legislature, take the view in
respect to taxing mortgages that Mr..
Hanson does? We are afraid not, and if
it should, it is doubtful if the legislature
would approve its report. The taxing of
mortgages is unjust 1t is double taxation.
The injustics is in the fact that the real
estate owner has to pay the tax on the
mortgage as well as the tax on his land,
unless he is fortunate enough to find some
one outside of the state who is willing to
lend him money. If there were no tax on
mortgages, or very small tax as is the
case in Pennsylvania, the real estate
owner would be able to borrow money at
a CONSIDERABLY lower rate Oh interest. II
his security We're good he could get money
at 5 per cent Now he has to pay at
least Z, and more often s per cent.
And yet if the truth were known it is
probable that the great majority of those
who would object to exempting mortgages
from taxation are borrowers of money,
and would be benefited, by the exemption,
much more than the money lender
The proposition TO exempt mortgages
| from taxation strikes the average mem
Der of the legislature as very unjust to
the land owner, but if he will give it
| thoughtful consideration he will be forced
! to the conclusion that the position taken
! by Nj Hanson is correct. Mr., Hanson
might have gone further and stated,
without getting away from the truth. that
| If a very small tax were placed on capital
and securities the state would be the
! gamer, because money would seek invest
ment in all sorts of enterprises more
freely, and the revenue from other kinds
of taxable property, which would thus be
| created, would more than Offset the COM
parative small revenue now received from
the tax on money and securities.

Elephants Hate Camels.

Elephants have the bitterest enmity
to camels When the camel scents the
elephant, it stops still. trembles in all
its limbs and utters an interrupted cry
OF terror and alright No persuasion,
no blows, can induce it to rise. It
moves its head backward and forward,
and it's whole frame is shaken with
mortal anguish. The elephant, on the
contrary, as soon as he perceives the
camel, elevates his trunk. stamps with
his feet, and with his trunk thrown
backward, snorting with a noise like
the sound of a trumpet, he rushes to-
ward the camel, which with its neck out
stretched and utterly defenseless awaits
with the most patient resignation the
approach of its enemy. The elephant,
with its enormous shapeless limbs,
tramples on the unfortunate animal in
such a manner that in few minutes it
is scattered around in small fragments

TO CURE A FELON.
How to Treat These Dangerous and
Painful Sores.

A felon is a severe and usually mosr
painful Inflammation of the end Of the
finger, more commonly either the thumt
or index finger of the right hand, fol
the reason that these are most exposed
to the little wounds from which the
trouble starts; but any of the fingers
or even one of the toes. may be the seat
of felon.
The Inflammation starts generally
from the prick of a pin or needle OF
from scratch or cut, but often the
wound is 80 slight that no notice is
taken of it until the finger begins tc
grow sore The soreness soon passes in.
to actual pain, and this rapidly becomes
most intense and throbbing, and some.
times is felt all the way up the arm.
1t is worse when the hand is allowed
to hang down. The ball of the finger is
hot, red and swollen. At the came time
the patient feels more or less i'll, is fe.
verish. and has headache and rapid
pulse.
When the inflammation is deep seat.
ed, pus collects beneath the periosteum,
or membrane covering the bone, and
this greatly increases the distress as
we'll as the danger. If allowed to go on
unrelieved, the inflammation may creep
up the finger into the palm Of the hand,
and then the condition becomes most
serious one. In almost any case when
once pus has formed beneath the perios-
teum more or less of the bone will die,
leaving the end of the finger crippled or
disfgured by deep scar.
When the treatment is begun very
early, it is sometimes possible to cut
short the inflammation by cold cloths
applied continuously to the infamed
part. These must be frequently renew
ed, for if allowed to get warm they will
act as poultices and rather hasten sup
puration than arrest it, At the same
time the arm should be kept in a sling
with the hand raised and resting on
the chest.
If the Inflammation does not rapidly
subside under this treatment, we must
reverse it and try to bring matters to a
head by means of poultices or wet
cloths applied as hot as they can be
borne and changed very often.
The only thing to be done when pus
has formed is to cut the finger and let
it out. This is painful enough for the
instant, but it will prevent many days
of acute suffering and all danger Of
severe infamma tion of the hand and
arm, with subsequent blood poisoning.
