WILL MAKE THEM PAY.
The State is After the Packing Houses
For Taxes.

The Atlanta News of yesterday says :
"Acting under tie order OF Comptrol>
Ter General Wright, Tax Collector
Andy Stewart will today issue execu.
lions against the packing house deal
ers in Atlanta on account of their re.
fusal to pay the tax Of 5000 on each
place of business! operated in the
State.
The firms to be served with the exc
buttons are the Armour Packing Co. +,
Swift & Co., Nelson, Morris & Co. i,
Sohwarzobild &.Suiz6erger, Cudahy &
Co.. and tbs Hammond P4ckirg Co.
The tax was raised by the Legislature
last year from 500 to $2C0 on each
place of bus nees, The firms mentioned
have braI ch houses in several coun-
ties in Gaor gis, and they contend that
to pay the tax in Atlanta, is sufficient
for ali ii q PLACES OF business. They
have Determined to mske a test case,
and have employed Smith, Hammond
& Smith to represent them.
According to the lax act, the license
must be paid on each branch OF the
house. That is, if TIE headquarters OF
thu firm are in Atlanta and branch
house is in Macon, license will have
to be taken out.for each of the places
of business; but if there are two
houses IN Fulton county operating
under the same name, only one license
will be necessary.
The question is big one, and means
much TO the State.
Mr.. Stewart will probably be en-
)ined from collecting the tax, and
then permanent injunction will be
asked"
The Armour Packing Company has 3
branch house here.

"The Senate Commerce Committee
cOnsldered the Georgia items at its
sess on today, and sll of the app opria
tions carried by the House bill were
retained through the Efforts of Senator
Clay, who Is member of the commit
tee.
There has been an effort on the part
of some people TO cut the Southern
items, bat so far Georgia is concern
ed, this fort failed. As the bill will
be passed, therefore, harbor appropria-
lions for Georgia will be as follows:
Savannah hsrboF, $4,000; contin-
uing contract, 81 100000.
Deboy bay, $4,000.

For the construction of dredge for
Cumberland sound, $4,000.
For the Improvement of the Buns
wick inner harbor, $125, 1000; for Bruns-
wick's outer bar, $4,000.
This last item contains an increase
of $4,000 over the appropriation
made by the House. 1t was secured by
Senator Clay at the instance of MIR {.
Bfantley, and as it has the approval
Of the House committee, there ia no
doubt but that it will be retained in
the bill when breaches tbs conference.

A Correction.

Whatever the motive that prompted
him to write the same, the editor of
the Daily News, in yesterday evenings
issue of his paper, grossly misrepre-
sented the facts connected with the &C.
cident at the Meyers farm Sunday
evening. His statement to the effect
Arthur visited the farm unbidden is
not true; the boy went there an in
vited guest. Mr.. Sniff erred again
when he said the hoy took his rifle
with him-he was never allowed to
own rifle. The age of the boy was
misrepresented as we're the general
facts connected with his report of the
regretable affair. The burden of sor-
row occasioned by such an occurrence
is sufficient as the facts exist, without
the additional trouble caused by mis-
representations.

Crop Bulletin for Week End.
ing July Is, 1901.

DIES MONIES, Iowa Another week
of intense heat and severe drought
must be added to the record Of this ex-
ceptional season. The maximum
temperatures have ranged from 100 to
l03, on four or i've days in numerous
localities, and the general excess has
been 2 to 8 degrees i'll the daily means.
The air has been excessively dry as
we'll as hot, with occasional brisk
winds adding to the intensity of the
bought. On the evening of the 18th
q portion of the south eastern quarter
of the state was favored by refreshing
showers, which brought temporary re-
lief in the dryest part of the state.
The hay crop has been saved in the
best condition. Harvesting has been
quite general in the prematurely ripen-
ed grain fields, with variable results as
to quality of the crop; but generally
the small grain crops will be below
standard weight and less than average
yield. Potatoes, pastures, and garden
truck of all kinds have suffered great
est damage.
Reports as to the corn crop indicate
that 1t has suffered some injury within
quite limited areas, and on light, sandy
or hard-pan soils; but the bulk of the
crop, in at least four-fi of the state.
is stoutly holding its own with promise
of fair out put. But the result is
contingent upon relief in the near
future.
Raspberries, blackberries and apples
have been materially injured.
