Several Amerlcus people, who occa-

lures, are interested IN the hearing of
case at Forsyth involving the question
as to whether a man who buys cotton
futures for his friends, merely as a
matter of accommodation, is liable to
the tax of 81, 600 levied on operators of
bucketshops and commission houses,
This question will be referred to Attor-
ney j. O. Hart by Comptroller General
W. A. Wright. A letter asking for this
information was received from the tax
collector of Monroe county. Comptrol-
Ter General Wright wrote that the par
ty was liable and would, he thought,
be able to send an opinion on the sub
ject from the attorney general in few
days.

Nervous Customer Jumped at Con-

into the eyes of the barber. with the
long. low. rakish forehead. as he sud
denly rested his razor hand while
shaving the Adams apple of the lean,
nervous-looking man in the chair.
II was King Louis XIV. of France

the razor still poised about half an
inch above the lean customers Adam s
apple.
The customer blinked and breathad
hard. The shaved side of his face
became nearly as white as the still
lathered other side.
''Wait a minute he said, placing a
shaking hand on the BARRIERS shaving
arm. He up sat straight in the chair
with wild look, and then made bolt

"Wowl" he yelled as he went, What

face still lathered, he loped down the
street.

stared etter the galloping customer
with amusement.

the barber. Now what kind o cogs
