there had been as much collected in
poll taxes as during the whole OF last

SPECIAL NOTICES.
PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
DRAFTED 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
York 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 Paulding's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newtons Pippins are used. The ap-
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to ripen.
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
md that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness OF the Russell
cider, and everyone will find the Pauld-
tng's Pippin cider just right to take with
dinner. LIPPMAN BROS,

CONTESTS OVER A SCHOOL.
State School Commissioner Asked to
Decide DO0Iy County Case.

Decide IA DoOIy County Case.
Atlanta, Aug. Estate School Com
missioner Glenn has another appeal case
on his hands. This one comes from Dooly
county. The issue is purely a question of
fact.
The record in the case is a large one
and contains evidence submitted by at
least a dozen witnesses. The case is that
of 2. T. Ennis. ct. al. VS.. j. d. Pate e..
al, and has reference to the Houston
High School a Arab, in Dooly county,
The plaintiff in the suit claims that the
school is a sectarian institution, support
ed largely by Baptists and that it's trus-
tees refuse to accept children unless
tuition fee is paid, and that for this rea-
sen the school has no right to any part
of the school fund coming from the state
fer the purpose of sustaining the public
school system.
These contt nuons are denied by the de
ftndants, and several witnes ses have sus-
tanned their contentious. The Board of
Education of Dooly county had the mat
ter before it and decided that the school
is entitled to its part of the general fund
appropriated for school purposes in Dooly
county.
This action of the board is the cause
of the appeal to the State School Com
mission. 1t will be several days before
decision j. rendered.
