WRIGHT Tells
COLLECTORS
THEIR DUTY
THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
SENDS OUT HIS ANNUAL IN
STRUcTIoNS TO THE TAX
COLLECTORS IN GEORGIA.

Comptroller General William A. Wright
is today sending instructions to the tax
collectors of the state. The instructions
detail in full the manner in which the
taxes of the state should be collected. and
on what articles taxes should be paid. The
rate fixed recently, $3.50 on the $1,000 is
contained in the instructions.
Special instructions are given regarding
defaulters of property polls and profess
sions. On this line Comptroller Wright
has the following paragraph in his in
structions:
"The law makes it the duty OF the tax
collectors to ascertain what property,
polls and professions have not been re-
turned to the tax receivers Of their coun-
ties and to assess and double all such for
each year in which they are found to be
in default. Under the head of professions
is included lawyers, doctors, dentists, ar
chitects charging for their services; civil,
mechanical and electrical engineers, pres
idents of express, telegraph, railroad.
street railroad, steamboat, telephone,
electric light, sleeping and palace car
companies; banks, building and loan as
sociations and gas companies. I am sat-
ished that this law has not been rigidly
and strictly enforced in the past by many
tax collectors and for this reason de-
sire to call your special attention to it,
Comptroller Wright also has the follow
ing to say about de1aulting tax collecCorS,
informing them that the law will be strict
ly enforced this year:
1.-THE legislature empowers and requires
me to cause the taxes to be collected by
10Th OF December next, and upon failure
of any tax collector to do so, 1t is made
my duty to issue fl. fas. against each and
every collector who has failed to settle
his account, and to place said a. fas. in
the hands OF an officer for collection. I
shall therefore obey the law; and 1t Is
strictly enjoined upon you to give the
public the notice required by section eis
of the Code, paragraph 6, at as early a
day as practicable, in order that the
people may have ample opportunity &c
pay their taxes, so that you can settle
your account with this Office at the time
required by law. Taxes are a necessity.
and must be paid. and it is much easier
to collect them before than after Decem-
Der. The law requires the payment OF
taxes before any other debt (see Code,
section 1889. 1 therefore urge upon you
the necessity of so arranging your dates
and appointments. that you may be able
to collect the taxes during the months OF
September, October, and November.
now forewarn you that the law relating
to defaulting collectors will be strictly
and rigidly enforced. and the securities
on your bond notified II your settlements
are not promptly made"

FOUND FABULOUS FORTUNE;
DIED IN DIRE POVERTY

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Samuel Hawkins
Napier, who found what is said to have
been the largest nugget of gold ever
mined, is dead, says Provincetown, Mass,
dispatch to the Times. He died alone. ex-
cept for the companionship of a faithful
dog, 200 miles from any human habitation,
in the wilds of the Gatineau river, Can
ada.
Napier's rich strike occurred in Austria
liza in 1852. He was a purser of a Mel
bourne-Liverpool ship when the mad race
for the Australian mines succeeded the
finding OF rich deposits. He Joined for
tunes with his brother-in-law and the two
went out to the gold country. One day
Napier's pick struck solidly upon a me-
talic mass of large proportion. The mug
get was taken to London where ii was ex-
hibited and finally sold for $4,000. Napier
settled at Bathurst, n. B., and became a
member of the provincial parliament, but

MACK SAYS UNION
is MANY YEARS
AWAY

Rev. George H. Mack, pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, was
today seen concerning the practical i'm
port of the movement in his church to-
wards organic union with the Northern
Presbyterian church. 1t will be remem-
bered from recent Geographic reports
that two presbyteries of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church In Illinois memorial
lied the general assembly for such a UNI
ion and this formed the subject Of a re-
cent editorial in The Journal.
Mr.. Mack said that the brief statement
already adopted by the Presbyterian
church in New York last May would not
be sufficient basis for union, but that If the
overtures now, before their presbyterfes
for explanatory statements to the West
Minister conference were adopted the
chief ground for difference between the
churches would be removed In polity
and practice they are to all purposes the
same.
AS to the feelings in his church Mr.
Mack said that the church is at present
very prosperous and has no cause eX-
cept the unity of the kingdom of Christ
to seek reunion with another church.
There win be many difficulties to be re-
moved and questions of property settled,
vet If the movement is carried on In a
dignified manner there will be large
portion of the church in favor OF such
a union. He said the cause of disruption
in 1910 was chiefly doctrinal and when
the breach is healed the cause for sepa-
rate existence is removed.
The Cumberland Presbyterian will to-
morrow begin revival services under
tent on their lot on Baker street, between
Peachtree and Ivy streets. Services will
be held at 10 a. m. and p. m.
Speaking further as to the time, Mr..
Mack said that 1t would be a matter of
years before such union could be effect
ed. These things, he said, move slowly.
1t would in no wise affect the planting of
the church here which will now be pushed
on vigorously.

SUCCESSOR TO MASSEY
is NOT YET NAMED

No official action has been taken as TO
the appointment of a, successor for Walter
Lee Massey. formerly assistant district at
torney OF the United States court, who
died a few days ago. Just who his sue
cessor win be is not yet known, and it is
hardly probable that an appointment will
be made soon.
Yesterday a delegation OF some y or
Is prominent citizens called upon United
States District Attorney f. A. Angler in
the interest of ]. c, Jenkins, an Atlanta
LAWYER. and formally presented his name
as an applicant for the position. -
Besides the application OF Mr.. Jenkins
only one other application has so far
been received This is from G. p. Goree,
also an attorney of this city.
Several others have been mentioned for
the place, but have not yet filed their APP
pIications. They are NJ. L. Covington, Of
Carrollton; Judge r. L. Rogers, A. r.
Bryan and II. l.. Johnson, of Atlanta, the
latter of whom is a negro.
District Attorney Angler said this morn
ing that he was not yet able TO say when
the appointment would be made. The at
torney general at Washington makes the
appointment of all assistants and clerks
ia the United States district attorneys
Office This was done when the fee sys-
tenn was nearly abolished and the officers
put on salaries. The certificate of the
United States district Judge and the at
torney. however. is necessary to create
these offices, and that certificate may or
nay not be renewed.
At any rate the certificate of Judge
Newman and District Attorney Angler is
necessary to the existence and perhaps
TO the continuance of the assistants. 1t
Is based on the district judges and dis
trict attorneys Office as to the necessity
for such Office.
The recommendation OF Judge Newman
and District Attorney Angler will prob
ably be made within short time.

UP SHIP
AND WENT To
DEATH
ADMIRAL KILLICK .FEARLESSLY
APPLIED MATCH TO MAGA-
ZINE AND WENT DOWN WITH
FLYING C0L0RS.

GONAIVES. Hayti, Sept. 1O-An investi-
cation made by a correspondent of the
Associated Press into the sinking of the
Firminist gunboat Crete-A-Pierrot al the
entrance of this harbor Saturday, shows
that Admiral Killik, her commander per-
sonally fired the after magazine of that
vessel. when the German gunboat Panther
attempted to capture her and that be APP
parently went down with his ship.
The Panther, which had previously at
tempted to board the Crete-A-P ierrot, the
latter being moored to the shore, reversed
her engines when the magazine exploded
and one hour afterwards fired thirty shots
from her guns at the Crete-A-Pierrot in
order 10 finish the work of sinking her.
The Panther then left Gonaives.
1t is claimed here that the rifles and ma
chine guns of the Crete-A-pierrot have
been saved.
The body of Admiral Killik was recov-
the same evening
The surgeon of the Crete-A-Pierrot who
was asleep in his cabin and two sailors of
that vessel also persisted.
The Panther is expected to reach Cape
Haytien on Friday.
A newspaper of Port Au Prince July IA,
contained the following telegram from
Admiral Killik to General Boissrond-
Canal, provisional president of Hayu:
"GONAIVES, July H.
"Boisrond-Canal, Port Au Prince:
"Krlik does not fear anything; will blow
up ship and crew for the sake Of national
honor. You alone remain responsible"
Previous TO sending the message to Gen
eral Boisrond-C Canal, ii appears, Admiral
Killik had received orders from the latter
to give up his vessel to Lieutenant Reid
his second in command. and 1t was also
reported that the provisional government
had requested the United States Sunboat
Marietta and the French cruiser d'Assias
to capture the Crete-A-Pierrot, hence the
defiant dispatch TO Boisrond-Canal.
UNCLE SAM DECLINES
TO RECOGNIZE BLOCKADE
WASHINGTON, Sept. DENOMINATION
has come to the state department from
Minister Powell. Of the press report that
the Haytien government has declared
Gonaives and some of the other Haytien
ports, which are in the hands of the Firm
inists. closed to commerce.
The right of a government to close or
open ports in normal conditions never has
been questioned, but as certain South and
Central American republics have showed
a disposition to avail of this provision IN
case of revolutionary troubles, to close
ports which they did not actually con-
troll the state department has adopted the
policy of declining to recognize such de-
crees which, after all are nothing more
than paper blockades.
Therefore this last Haytien order will
not be allowed TO interfere with commerce
with the ports named, unless the Hayten
government can, by a display of naval
forces. either drive off the insurgents or
maintain an actual blockade. r.
