Belcher, of This city, on whom a
warm fight is being made by Po5tmas-
ter Grier of Dublin will have to work
pretty hard and do some real diplo-

as Grier is not only backed by the
solid movement of the party lmown as
the lilly whites but also has a
strong support among n certain por.

Although Belcher and his friends

Outlook for Big Decrease in Tax
Values.
The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday says.
The general returns of taxable prop
erty according to the county digests
which are being received daily at the
Office of the comptroller general, con
tinue to fall off, and the outlook is
that Georgia viii come to the front
this year with large decrease in the
value of her taxable property
Three counties showing increases
were heard from yesterday as follows:
Columbia $1,S22; Jasper $l66 and
Taylor, $61. Total, 5000.
Two counties on the other nand,
showed considerable decrease, as fol
lows: Columbia. $6,233 and Crawford
$36,0l7 or a total of $42 ,250
the decrease in these two counties
it will be seen. is more than 100000
greater than the increase in three
counties which have been considered
among the most prosperous in the
state.
This is the way the returns have
been showing up for week or more.
and the situation is rather discour-
aging. It may be said that there is
now hardly any probability of a do
crease this year in the state tax.

Later they retired to the moccupied
forts across from the city, and threat
ened a general bombardment.
The foreign counsels were terrorized

lection. The Machias officers re-,
sponded at once and are now holding
in check the rebels, VINO, as yet have
not mad the temerlty to carry ont
