SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA
No Decision as to Consolidation Of
Internal Revenue Districts,

Commissioner Capers of the internal
revenue bureau has not yet reached a de-
cision as to whether he will consolidate
the internal revenue collection districts of
South Carolina and Georgia, owing to the
fact the latter goes into the dry column
January /. Nothing will be done for sew
eral months. until the situation develops
some facts upon which to proceed. If it is
then shown that there is no need of
collector in Georgia, the two districts will
be consolidated and placed in charge Of
Collector jenkins of the South Carolina
district. Mr.. Capers does not look for any
reduction in the force of revenue agents
in Georgia as the results of prohibition.
'If anything the force will probably have
to be increased, he said today. ..The
agents will have TO contend with blind
tigers and the various other branches of
Illicit LIQUOR dealing, and this Will require
watchfulness." 80
