Solomon clothed his son in golden Vest

abuse of the parole law, will be ended.
Whether the disclosures will reach

board, is not known. officials of the
prison, who admit that many prisoners
find slavery, not freedom en- their re-
lease, declared the fact was accomplish

The committee is in possession of
letters containing complaints indicat-

squeezing the last ounce of strength
from a paroled prisoner and giving in
return practically no wages.

BIGGEST DAY Of
TAX PAYING SEASON
Depository Law Responsible
For the Rush.

County Treasurer Myrick yesterday
had the biggest day of the tax paying
season thus far. The fact that under
the new depository law the treasur-
ers of all counties in the State cannot
accommodate tax payers by holding
out receipts for persons after the final
day for paying taxes, permitting these
persons to take such receipts up with
in day or SO, has been responsible
for the rush. Treasurer Myrick re
@rets his inability to accommodate the
TAX payers in this respect, but it is
impossible under existing conditions
and on the day following the first
Monday in May. all unpaid taxes will
go down as delinquent and the penal
~ will have TO be exacted. From now
until the end of April the affairs in
the treasurer'S office will be on the
jump.
