SOME GEORGIA TAX RETURNS.
One County Pays $s7.36 on $1,000;
Another Nothing.

Another Nothing.
Atlanta, Sept. 17.@There Is q WAC
variation in the tax rates of Georg
counties as they have been furnisv
to Comptroller General Wright so u
he can compute the amounts to
paid to them by the railroads az
other corporations which make their
returns to him.
Reports have been received from
Just 100 counties, and the county tax
rates vary all the way from nothing
at all in Terrell, to $37.S6 on $1,000.
in Wilcox.
The reason for the exceptionally
high rate In Wilcox county is the fact
that a new courthouse is to be built,
and, practically all of the money nee.
essary for that purpose, 1t would seem
is to be collected this year. The as,
sessment for the courthouse alone In
Wilcox Is more than $50 on the $1,000g,
payers are far more fortunate, for that
for other purposes Is but little moreS
rate at SIS on $1,000. With the state
rate at $5 on $1,000, property owneri
In Wilcox county will have to pay thu
year total of $42.36 on each $1,000
or more than Az per cent.
In Terrell county, it seems. the tan
payers are far more fortunate, for that
county collects no taxes at all. Thol
reason for this is the profits of the disl
pensary are large enough to pay al
the running expenses of the county,
and leave small surplus over besides.
The next highest rate to that of Wil-l
cox is $1S on $1,000 in Douglas coun-
ty, while Johnson county charges s11
and Butts 10 on $1,000. The lowN Z
rate SO far reported, with the excA
ton of that of Terrell county, Is $3.50
per $1,000 In C1inch.
