them from that end which is now at

The spots on this thirteenth viii inva

STATE LOTTERIES.

They Were Once Very Common and
Very Popular In Europe.
Lotteries were common in ancient
Rome, and during the middle ages lot
teries were utilized by the Italian mer-
chants for the disposal of their goods.
Some of the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as a means of raising reve-
nue., and the institution of state lot
teries afterward became very COM
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery Of
which there is any record was in 1869,
when 10000 chances were sold at 10
shillings each, the drawing taking
place in the west door OF st. pauPs
cathedral.
The prizes consisted of articles of
plate, and the profits were employed
for the repair of certain harbors. Early
in the reign Of Queen Anne private lot
teries were suppressed ''as public nui-
sauces." but government lotteries, how
ever, were still maintained, and from
1903 to 1924 considerable sums We're
annually raised In lotteries authorized
by acts Of parliament
The average yearly profit to the gov
ernmert from 1893 to 1924 was over
$4,000 On the ground of injury to
public morals lotteries of all kinds
were abolished in England in 1896

FORGET YOURSELF.
No One Can Grow While His

No One Can Grow While His
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con-
seriousness is a disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can new
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject Of
self analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear, what others
will think Of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radi-
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self centered. The sympathies of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self consciousness
acts as q paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability. The mind
which accomplishes things looks out,
not in; it is focused upon it's object.
not upon itself
The immortal acts have been uncon-
sciously performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent longings, the
secret warnings of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing a
critical audience The daily desire is
the perpetual prayer. the prayer that
is heard and answered. Success.

THE BEAUTIFUL HAND.
Decision That stood the Test OF
All Time.


There was dispute among three
ladies as to which had The most beau
tiful hand. One sat by a stream and
dipped her hand into the water and
held it up, another plucked strawber-
ries until the ends of her fingers were
pink and another gathered violets until
her hands were fragrant. An old, bag
gard woman, passing by, asked, who
will give me a gift, for | am poor?" All
three denied her. but another who sat
near, unwashed In the stream, I'M
stained with fruit, unadorned with
flowers, gave her a little gift and salts
fed the poor woman, and then she ask
ed them what was the dispute. and
they told her and lifted up before her
their beautiful hands. Beautiful in
deed" said she when she saw them.
but when they asked her which was the
most beautiful she said, 1T is not the
hand which is washed clean in the
brook, it is not the hand that is tipped
with red, it is not the hand that is gar
landed with fragrant flowers, but the
hand that gives to the poor is the most
beautiful" AS she said these words
her wrinkles fed, her staff was thrown
away and she stood before them an
angel from heaven, with authority to
decide the question in dispute, and that
decision has stood the test of all time.

IMMENSE SUM FROM RAILROADS

In view of the recent supreme
court decision relative to the tax
ing of securities of the Western
Railway of Alabama held by the
Georgia Railroad and the Central
Of Georgia, these latter roads are
liable for taxes on this stock for
many years back. 1t Is estimated
that by applying the tax rate for
each year and calculating the
interest at per cent on the I'M
paid taxes that Georgia will re-
ceive about 1920, 900 from these
two railroads.
In case of the Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company these taxes
are due on its 81, 100000 of Wes-
tern Of Alabama stock from 1895
up to date, total of eleven years.
The amount due the state in taxes
by the Georgia road for these
eleven years is $91, 7OS, and the
interest amounts to S26,111 up to
December 20, last, making a total
of S117 ,819. The interest is still
running, and viii continue to run
until the taxes are paid.
In the case of the Central of
Georgia taxes can not be collected
for 1895 because the Central was
not recognized following the re-
ownership until October of that
year. The Central, therefore, is
liable for only ten years taxes,
with interest on its 81, 500, 900 of
the Western of Alabama stock,
which amounts to a total of S110,-
832, 20 taxes and interest.
With the interest still accruing
since December 20, it is expected
the total of these two amounts will
reach fully $3.50, 1000 before the
payments are made.
While the litigation may be end
ed so far as the state is concerned,
there is still a fight to come be-
tween the cities and counties along
the respective lines Of the Georgia
and Central of Georgia railroads,
and those in which the headquar-
tiers of these corporations are To-
Gated, over the question Of a
division of the county and NUM-
cipal taxes on this stock.
Comptroller General Wright
and Attorney General Hart are of
the opinion that this stock. being
personal property, is subject to
taxation at the domicile of the cor
porations in question. That is to
say, Augusta and Savannah should
have the municipal taxes and
Richmond and Chatham the county
taxes.
The other counties situated on
these lines of railroads and the
other towns and cities ON them
will, it is said, contest this point
in the courts, and will endeavor
to secure a division of the taxes
on mileage basis. The supreme
court did not touch upon this point
in it's decision so that it is still
left an open question.
This, however, will not affect
the states interest in the litigation.
The state will simply collect its
$3.50, 900 and let the counties and
cities fight it out among themselves.
