HAULING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.

Muscogee county school authorities are
trying, on a limited scale, a recent sug-
,gestion by the State School Commissioner,
DIR. Glenn, that children be hauled to
school in sparsely-settled districts. In
the extreme northern part of the county
there are number of families who have
some twelve or fifteen children. They
petitioned for a school for the community,
but the County School Board did not
think that the number of pupils author
lied a school. The nearest school house
is some five miles away, at Double
Churches. The board, as a compromise,
agreed to haul the children to that school.
A contract was made with a man in
that community who had a wagon suita-
BILE for the purpose. This gentleman's 10
year-old son wished to attend school, and
so he was installed as driver. Every
morning he drives along the road and col
lectg the children, who come to the main
road from their homes to meet him, and
carries them on to school. He and his
team spend the day, and in the afternoon
he carries the children home. He thus
earns a neat sum for his father and at
the same time is receiving an education.

Darien Gazette. Over 100000 feet of
timber and lumber We're shipped from the
port of Darien during the year which has
just closed This year promises equally

shipments for the past year, as will be
seen from the figures below. were the
largest ever recorded If there was ever
a better timber year in Darieu we have
no knowledge of it, The timber that has

THE CIGARETTE PAPER ACT.

Section 2S of the general tax act, adopt
ed by the last Legislature, requiring all
dealers to pay a tax of $40 for the privi-
iege of giving away cigarette papers,
whether they handle cigarettes or not,
may be unconstitutional. The Atlanta
Daily cNewsIsaysi aHhis is looked upon
by many as being unconstitutional, ana
It is probable. that a. test case will be
made, in order to prove that the section
interferes with the constitutional rights
of individuals. in that they certainly have
the right to give to any customer or other
person who asks for them a bunch of Gig
arctic papers Should the section prove
to be unconstitutional, it win affect the
revenues of the state more than appreci-
ably, for there are thousands of men in
business who handle these little papers

If the part of the act mentioned be an

cigarettes this year without paying a state
