TAX RATE HAS BEEN FIXED.
ANNOUNCED BY THE BOARD As BE-
ING $500 ON $1,000.

oIv Large Appropriation of the
Last LeEisIature-There Has Been

ernor Gambler Assumed His or
6ce-The order Issued Announcing
the Rate.
Atlanta Aug 25.-The tax rate for the
wear was fixed to-day by Gov. Gambler
and Controller General Wright the board
authorized by the general assembly TO do
SO. The rate was lowered from 1915 on
$1,000 to s.. 20, making reduction of prac-
tcaIy one dollar on every thousand dol
lars worth of property since Gov. Can
der has been in office.
The reduction is due to the magnificent
increase shown by the returns, which have
been coming in since July. The rate
could have been lowered to s. on Sl,C)t
had not the last Legislature appropriated
10000 more than was anticipated The
rate this year. however, could have been
made no lower, but if the increase next
year is as large as it is this year, or If
the returns amount 10 the same, II IS
very likely that a bigger reduction can be
made.
When Gov. Gambler first entered his Of
fee the rate was s. 81 on 81 900, but since
that time several reductions have been
made. The following is fhe order issued
by the Governor this morning fixing the
rate for this year:

after approximating as nearly as prac-
ticable the amount of all taxable prop
erty in this state as shown by the digests
and other returns:
1T is ordered, that two and ninety-f re

DHATED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.


DRATED. PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.
This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family grocers in New
Yok city.
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice OF hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. 1t is abso-
lutely pure apple juice. and all the effer-
vescence is natural, and we guarantee IL
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients, its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Pauldings Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton's Pippns are used. The APP
pies are left on the trees Until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to rpen.
Paulding says the apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed app es and ground apples IL you
take some stems and chew them, YOU will
ind that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russet
cider and everyone will find the Paud-
'ug's Pippin cider just right to take with
