munication of Mr.. Allen was re-
ferred to the fire committee with
power to act.
Mr.. E. K. Farmer made a
statement to the council of the

sioner was instructed to cut out
the surface water.

On Sunday September 10th,

tative citizens gathered at the

The meeting was opened by a
song by quartette composed of
Mr.. Clarence Lee, Mrs. l.. +.
Thompson and Mr.. and Mrs.

Mr.. Pearce then read the pre-

Tax Payers of That County Object
to Such High Rate
SECURE INJUNCTION
Tax Rate Was Fixed at $37,36 per $1,000
Injunction Does Not Apply to
State Tax, Says Comptroller

stated that in his opinion the in
junction was not againstt the state
rate but against the county rate,
and the collection of the state
levy was imperative.
1t is the intention of the Will
cox county tax payers to carry
the case to the highest courts be-
fore they will submit to the pay
ment of such high rate of tax
alton. With the county rate at
1916 and the state rate at SIS
the people residing in the coun-
try districts would be required
to pay the amount Of $42.36 per
81, 1000, while those who lived in
the cities would have to pay an
addition to that amount owing to
to the city rate which they would
have to undergo.
The Wilcox county rate has
attracted unusual attention all
over the state, as it is the high
est rate of taxation ever known
in the state.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 19-The
revolutionaries are now concen-
trating all their operations in
Eastern Macedonia, the latest
dispatches from which locality
report general rising was fixed
to begin today.
The insurgents claim to have
accumulated vast stores of arms
and ammunition and dynamite to
be prepared to enter upon a SER
ious campaign. Fighting already
is proceeding at Melnik, province
of Sores, which place is besieged
by bands of insurgents under the
leadership of Stoyanoff Yankoff,
Zografoff, and Darvinhoff, all of
whom formerly we're officers in
the Bulgarian army.
The town of Me1nik is a very
important strategic point in the
mountains, com handing the road
between Demirhissar and Razlog.
Those besieging it number l, 500,
while the Turkish garrison is be-
lieved to consist of only one bat
tallion. The result of the attack
upon the town is not yet known,
but telegram from Ketcharinovo
says that additional Turkish
troops are going thence to Mel
mix.

Tax Collector C. S. Mccall, of
Wilcox county, today notified
Comptroller General Wright that
1000 tax payers of the county
had enjoined him from the collec-
ton of the taxes in the county
this year, and enquiring if he
must proceed with the collection
of the state rate Of SIS per 81, 900.
The injunction has been ex-
pected since the announcement
several days ago that the rate for
the county this year was $37.36
per $1,000 AS soon as the rate
fixed was announced by the
county commissioners there was
a storm of protests from the tax
payers. Advice Of attorneys was
at once sought and Saturday an
injunction was served upon the
tax collector preventing him from
making any collection.
1t is understood the tax was
imposed for the purpose of build
ing a new court house after the
people of the county had declined
to vote bonds to do so. Things
are said to be at fever heat in the
county over the enormous rate
of taxation which would have to
be paid if the assessment of the
county commissioners was allow
ed to stand.
Comptroller Wright wrote Mr..
Mccall today that the injunction
could not apply to the state rate
and for him to begin at once to
enforce the collection of it. He

Go ring the bells and fire the guns,
And spread the news to all;
Behold the strangers at the gate
Go tell them, great and small;
And say to all the country round,
You'll find your stock all in the pound.
No more we'll ride Ger rugged lulls---
Endure hundred kindred ills
The branches ford, the fences climb,
All through the good old summer time;
Forgoats and calves and mules are found
They're in Fitzgerald in the pound.
No moro we'll search with trembling hope
For horse thief, with coil of rope;
And track The hog thief to his home,
And shoot before he knows we've come:
LANG up your gun, call home your hound
Your pigs are sheltered in the pound.
Ills somewhat lonesome on the street
Without the hog SO clean and sweet;
We miss the dics we miss the Aeas,
No moro the COWS will trim our trees,
But t suffer all these ills we're bound
And keep our pets all in the pound.
