When Taxes Become
Due and DeIinauent

In constituting the law relative TO the
time when taxes become due and de-
linquent Attorney General Roberts
has given th efollowing opinion in
answer to a question submitted by
the county clerk of Beaver county:
Dear Sir; have yours Of the gath
instant, before me in which you state
that you have noted tn eruling OF this
office upon the question OF delinquent
taxes in this territory understand
from your letter that you mean that
you have seen an opinion rendered by
this Office as to the date upon which
taxes become delinquent in this terri
tory. To put you and others right up
on that subject, ! desire to say that
that letter does not fully express my
views OF tto law upon that question.
My construction of the law upon that
subject is that the first half of the
taxes becomes due on the fifteenth day
OF December following June, pr0vid-
ed the first half was paid on or before
the 18th day of December following
the assessment, but if the first half
was not paid at maturity. then the
whole amount becomes delinquent on
the third Monday in January next fol
lowing the assessment of taxes. The
language is somewhat ambiguous. 1t
is found in section 2, article 4, chapter
l32. Session Laws of 1897 at page $50
and is as follows. Section 2. One
half of all taxes shall be due on the
18th day of June and the 18th day of
December Of each year, and on the
third Monday of January following the
assessment of taxes. all unpaid taxes
shall Secome delinquent
In the Interpretation Of this statute.
like all others. IL becomes necessary
to ascertain what was really the in
tention Of the legislature and, after a
careful consideration of the matter.
l have concluded that the intention al
though not plainly expressed was to
convey the meaning as above indicat-
ed in this letter The phrase and on
the third Monday in January following
the assessment Of taxes, all unpaid
taxes shall become delinquent, being
.ecestrued with the other parts of the
law. means that all taxes due and un-
paid shall become delinquent on the
third Monday in January following the
assessment of taxes. In this construc-
ton It becomes necessary to inter
polate the word due as evidently an
other provision of the same statute
and Just before this phrase, clearly
provides that one-half of the taxes,
H. e, the first half, shall not become
due until the 10Th day of June, so that
II think il evidently means that the
first half shall become due and pay
able on the 18th day OF December fol
lowing the assessment and the sec
ond half on tho 18th day Of the fol-
LOVING June. provided, however, that
III the first half is not paid ON or be-
fore the 18th day of December, the
whole amount becomes delinquent on
the third Monday OF the following
January.
Il have taken the pains to write
this opinion in fun to correct the i'm
preston that seems to have gotten
out that held differently

How to Prevent Group

1t will be good news to the mothers
OF small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1t will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by Forsyth

When these militant youths are
somewhat older, they will become

education along these lines. The
nation has become weary at times
over the loneliness and jealousies

FRENCH PACE FOLLOWER
is PINING FOR PARIS
Albert Champion Will Probably Return Home
After Tuesdays Race at Coliseum.

Whether or not Albert Champion, the
plucky little French pace follower, de-
feats Bobbie Walthour the American
champion, at the Coliseum in their race
of twenty miles Tuesday night. it will
be his final appearance in Savannah
and probably his last competitive ride
in this country in a long time.
Champion is pining for Paris, and
is preparing to return to his home after
he has tackled Walthour in a long
distance race. The champion of the
Old World has never ridden a twenty
mile race with Walthour, but has a
record for long distances as we'll as
for sprints. The men raced fifteen
miles in Atlanta and Walthour won.
They could not have ridden twenty
miles on the Atlanta track without
having the tires on the machines
"chewed up"
The condition of the Savannah track
however, makes it possible for the rid
ers to go twenty miles at a terrific clip
without any great danger of a serious
mishap because of broken tires. There
will be only one heat, and the race
will be for blood. If the weather con-
ditions are favorable it is probable that
more than one record will be smashed
into smithereens. Inasmuch as it will
probably be Champions last race in
this country he is determined to ride
as he has never ridden before. Wal
thour says that he will ride in an effort
to lap the Frenchman more than once
in the long race.
There will be no loafing and the
race promises to be not only the long
est, but the fastest ever seen at the
Coliseum. The riders will start at 8
