THINKS TAX UNJUST,

An interesting case, in which the
Central of Georgia Railway Company
refuses to pay tax of something over
$33 to the Byron School district in
Houston county, has come to the atten-
ton of the controller general, and he
has issued an execution against the
road for this amount
The matter will go into the courts,
as the Central claims that the law I'M
der which the tax is sought to be col
1ected establishes dangerous prece-
dent and is unconstitutional.
A special local act was passed in 1901,
creating the Byron School district in
Houston county, the school district
being considerably larger in extent
than the town or Byron. The act gave
the authorities of the school district
the right to collect taxes for school
purposes, and the road declined to
pay.
The Central takes the position that
the law is unconstitutional, in so far as
it gives the authorities the right to col
lect special tax for school purposes.
The road has already paid taxes to the
state, to Houston county and to the
town of Byron.

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
inence In Murder Trials.

Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
inence In Murder Trials.
The important part played in many
murder trials by a fattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in the
form of bullet, often leads to the de-
velopment of some curious facts, says
the Baltimore American. A leaden bull
let will lose appreciably in weight by
being fired, and the form Of the barrel
may tend to reduce it's size. In rifle
some of the lead is taken off by the
grooves The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside of
the ball, and because of this it changes
its shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about bullet is
that it will very often make wound of
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even in so brittle a substance as glass.
Another strange fact about bullet is
that it will often pass through inter-
yening clothing making hole that can
hardly be noticed, and yet carry on its
point circular piece of cloth. The car
rying of bits of clothing, hair or dirt in
to wounds in such a manner greatly
enhances the dangers of peritonitis.
Were it not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly SO danger
Gus, as its rapid fight and heating
make it practically sterile.
Blackened edges of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result Regard
ing powder stains, smokeless or other
wise, nothing of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at a
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. At recent trial doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he judged that the shot had been fred
at distance of not more than three
feet which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made Ola the stand
by the prisoner himself.

THE up.ro-DArE NEWSPAPER.

1t is acknowledged by all unbiased
people that the modern newspapers are
improving with everything else. The
day OF the party organ has nearly gone.
People are too intelligent to care for
paper that finds nothing to censure in
one party and nothing to praise in the
other. Best of all, the papers are get
ting cleaner, more disposed to print
only such things as can be read with
out causing disguise in the decent
homes of our country.
They are more reliable and more in
dependent than ever before. Especial
ly is this true of the more successful
and important ones. The radically
partisan organ has had its day. Into
its place has come the newspaperwhich
| neither suppresses nor colors the news,
and which, while itmay be firmly Dem
ocratic or strongly Republican, Prohi-
bition or AUTHORIZATION does not
hesitate to condemn wrong in its own
party or to commend right in the op-
posing party, and which does not I'M
duly praise or wantonly assail any man
because he happens to be of its own or
of another political faith
The papers which stand for princi-
pies and not merely for individuals,
which furnish the public the news re-
CARELESS of personal views or prefer
ences, and which condemn wrong con-
duct and dereliction of duty in public
servants, whether they be regarded as
friends or foes, are the successful pa
pers.
They build on q solid foundation
and their success is substantial and en-
during.
/ 1t is true, also, that newspapers are
growing cleaner. A higher degree of
morals as we'll as of moral courage OBJ
tains among them. There are excep-
tions, but this is the rule. The news
paper is more generally read by fami-
| lies than ever before, because it contains
more information on 6 greater variety
of subjects, and it is essential that it
should be clean-ft to be read by all
classes. The newspaper contracts with
its subscribers to-. furnish them the
news, complete and uncolored They
can form their own opinions. Courage,
cleanliness and independence broad
and liberal sense mark the successful
newspapers of the time.

FIRST OF ALL EVcTloNs.
Magyar Version of the Expulsion
From the Garden of Eden.

From the Garden of Eden.
Among the folklore Of the peasantry
of Roumania and some of the adjoin-
ing Magyar states of eastern Europe
is found the story of the expulsion of
our first parents from the garden of
Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God sent
Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to turn
them out of Eden as a punishment for
their sin. Gabriel was received most
courteously, food and drink of the
best being set before him. Now Ca
briel had a kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not ac-
cept their hospitality, remembering his
erTand. SO he returned and begged
that some one else be sent to evict the
sinners, as he really could not do 1t.
The Raphael, the Roumanian angel,
was sent and was received as Gabriel
had been. He, however, was very fond
of a good dinner, and so he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The
feast over, he told the erring pair his
errand. They at once began to weep
most piteously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow so touched his aft
er dinner heart that he, too, returned
and asked that some one else be sent,
as he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital
ity. Then it was that Michael, the
German angel, was sent. He was re-
ceiyed as the others by the trembling
pair and treated even more sumptu-
ously. He sat down and enjoyed him.
self till the last morsel of food had
vanished and there wasn't q drop of
liquor left. Then he arose, and, turn
ing to his host and hostess, said, "Now,
then, out you go, and be quick about
it," Most piteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time, even reminding
him that he had partaken OF their
bread. All in vain Thus it was that
our first parents were driven out OF
Eden
