Atlanta, Dec. 29.-Controller Gen
eral Wright is out after all those who
have sold liquor in any form during
1902 and who have not paid the $2O(
state tax.
He has secured the names of sew
eral hundred praties who have beer
retailing liuqor during the year and
has sent these to the tax collectors in
the counties where they reside, with
instructions to see that they pay the
tax for 1902. This notice includes all
blind tigers. all drug stores which sell
liquor on physicians prescriptions or
who use liquors in compromising pre-
scriptions, a certain class of disorderly
houses all steamboat companies and

of the law, as it was recently inter
preted for him by Attorney General
John c. Hart.
1t is understood there is a large
number of persons and firms in Savan-
nah affected by this notice.
Following is the letter which the
Controller General has sent to each
tax collector, with a list of the names
of those in his county who are con-
sidered liable to the liquor tax:
Dear Sir-I enclose herewith a list
of the names of persons and firms in
your county, who, l am informed, have
engaged in the sale of liquor and who
appear not to have paid their tax for
this year. The information upon which
this letter is based is conclusive that
the parties whose names / have fur
nished you herewith have engaged in
the sale of liquor in your county as
stated
''You will, therefore, Immediately
call on these parties and collect the
state tax of 5000 assessed on wholesale
anu Ieldll uSdltIS III SpilltuOu VI mat
liquors, etc, by the laws of this state.
The fact that the sale of the liquor
may be prohibited in your county does
not relieve any person who may have
engaged in its sale in violation of the
law from the payment of the state
tax. nor does the payment of said tax
relieve any dealer from the penalties
of any local or prohibtory law with
reference to it's sale in your county.
"Please give this matter prompt at
tention. Respectfully,
William A. Wright,
Controller General"
The tax for 1902 does not apply TO
social clubs, but in 1908 they will be
taxed just like other liquor dealers, as
they We're included in the last general
tax act under that head.

VIII Have Important Matters to Set
tie Next Month.


tie Next Month.
Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 29.-The Rail-
road Commission will meet here Jan.
s. 1t is said that Hon. j. L. Morgan,
who was elected chairman upon the
resignation of Hon. Henry f. Day, will
retain the position. This is only guess
work, however, as it is conceded that
Hon. Jefferson B. Browne, who is
known to have "a gubernatorial bee
buzZing about his ears, will be an as
pirant for the honor. With these two
after the place, Mr.. Burr will have the
balance of power, and as he has thus
far failed to express a preference, the
question is very much in doubt.
The secretaryship is also receiving
its share of attention. This is a posi-
ton requiring a man of sound judg-
ment and ability, and is of vastly more
Importance than the salary of $1,000 a
year would indicate. There are sew
eral applicants for the place, but the
indications are that Mr.. Royal c..
Dunn of Madison, who has been secre-
tary ever since the resignation of Mr..
John L. Medley, in October 1901, will be
retained.
1t is believed that after organization,
the commission will adopt very drastic
methods in dealing with the railroads.
This belief is strengthened by the fact
that Messrs. Browne and Burr were
elected on platform avowedly antag-
onistic to the railroads. or rather to
their manner of doing business in
Florida.
The question of a general reduction
of freight rates will be taken up. All
railroads doing business in the State
have been notified to be here on Jan.
s, and show cause, if any exists, why
a reduction should not be made in all
freight rates. Several of the railroad
companies have asked for more time

TROUBLE WITH BONDS
May Cause County Omcers-eIect to
Lose Positions.

Lose Positions.
Americas, Ga, Dec. 29--Several of
the recently elected county officers of
Sumter are in a quandary tonight
Their bonds must go forward to the
Controller General tomorrow, the last
day, and yet the County Commission
ers refuse to approve their bonds until
the company issuing them complies
with conditions prescribed by the com
missioners relative to the existing
bond of an official here.
The new officers fear that the de-
lay may result in the declaring of their
offices vacant and that new elections
may be ordered as the law prescribes.
The County Commissioners are deter
mined in their position, and the result
is awaited with interest. though il will
doubtless be settled satisfactorily to-
morrow.
