TAXING THE CORPoR ATIONs.
state Follows AtIanta's Lead and
Demands Over 800, 900.


Atlanta, March 1.-THE state of Geor-
gea may realize some tax money
from the corporations which the
city of Atlanta claims is due it for
tax money for several years back. When
Controller General Wright read that the
city was to issue fl fas for back taxes, he
Immediately took the matter up and he
believes if the corporations are due the
city money for taxes, they are also due
the state and county amounts in proper
ton.
According to these figures for the four
years the Southern IRON Car Co. which
the city claims owes it $40 5000 and inter-
est for four years. would owe the state and
county $s3,10o and interest. The other
companies which would owe smaller
amounts are the Southern Freight Line,
the Express Coal Line, the Virginia &
Alabama Coal Co., the Alabama Stone.
Coal and Lumber Co.; and the South
Eastern Line, which is due the city $2,755,
would owe the state 81 1866. The total
due the state would be $52,792.S6.

THE RUSKIN COLONY.
A Member Says the kickers VIII
Leave and the Colony VIII Com
tinue-Three BOYS Arrested.

Waycross, Ga. March 12.-Ruskin has
been written and talked about more than
any other point in Georgia in recent years.
The Socialists came here from their Ten
nessee home to recoup their fallen for
tunes, and for time everything went
along smoothly. But dissatisfaction arose.
several families left, and only a short
time since a number went down to Mc-
Rae, Ga, to locate. A movement was i'm
mediately started on foot 40 move the en-
tire colony down there. An article was
recently published in the press of the
state 10 the effect that within sixty days
the Ruskin commonwealth would move to
McRae.
In conversation with a prominent Rus
kinite this morning, that gentleman re-
marked to your reporter:
1.-THE report that the Ruskin Common
wealth is going to move to McRae, Ga. is
fathered by the wish of a few disgruntled
members or former members, who have
heretofore considered themselves the
whole thing. These indictments were a
regular drawback up in Tennessee. They
tried to run things just to suit themselves,
regardless of the wishes of others. 1t is
the same thing in Georgia, but down here
they have failed to impress some menu
bers with their great Importance and rare
ability. This accounts for their mad ef-
forts to disrupt the organization here, and
organize at McRae. Their object is pure
iy selfish one.
Seeing that they can't dictate to the
majority, who have always worked for
the good of the colony, these indictments
are determined to kill socialism. But
they will not succeed. We are going
to remain right here in Ware county, and
show to the world that our ideas of gov
eminent are right. OF course, the dissat-
isfied element will leave. This will be all
the better, as dissensions will cease when
they are gone. The kickers have always
been a draw back, and have never done
anything to help the colony or the cause"
Three youngsters who had run away
from their homes in Brunswick were ar
rested in this city last night by Officer
John Lee. The boys had evidently been
reading up on "Deadwood Dick and
"Knee- High, the Boy Detective" litera-
ture, and were bent on conquering the
world. They We're placed in the city
lookup, to be kept until tonight, when
they will be sent back home.

The Navy Estimates Not Excessive.

London, March 13.--The morning papers

hope that something still better will
be done next year. The Daily Mail says:
THE programme of construction IL
quite inadequate. The government seems
to be starving the navy to provide vast

 A Committee consisting of Dr. ]. l.
