ATLANTA-State Treasurer J.
Pope Brown reiterated in a formal
statement given out Wednesday his
belief that Georgia has accumulated
3 surplus of $2,00O,000.
The exact figures of the treasurer's
prediction are $2,056,503.19. How
ever, the detailed figures on which
ne bases his estimate are not given.
Only his conclusions are set forth in
The following paragraph:
After most thorough investiga-
EiOn I find that with the close of the
present year, if the state is charged
with all unpaid appropriations for
1908 and credited with cash on hand
and taxes for 1909 still to be col
'ected and collectable, the state will
have a surplus of $2,056,503.19."
Empty Till in Summer.
While he claims that the state
will have a surplus of $2,056,503.19
on the first of January, 1910, he ad-
mits this sum will last the state only
half through the year. and that by
he middle of summer there will be
2 deficit.
There is included in the statement
an explanation of the way the state
carries on its business, but no fig
ures are given showing how the big
surplus was accumulated or how
many years it has been growing.
The state treasurer simply declares
that if all taxes due for the veal
we're collected and all obligations
were paid there would be left over
something above $2,00O,000 This
means that there will be a clear sur
plus to apply on next years obliga-
lions, as they mature. of $2,0OO.00O.

NIGH BEER PERMITS NEAR END.
After First of Year 1910 Veterans
Must Pay License Tax.

fAy 6tAs
Several inquiries have come re-
Gently from disabled or INDECENT con-
federate veterans as to whether they
have the legal right to engage in the
business of selling near beer without
the payment of license tax imposed
under city ordinances.
The affirmative answer which has
been given to this inquiry should,
perhaps, be qualified by the state
ment that they have the right to sell
without paying license, but only UNI
til January 1, 1910.
Under the present law it has been
decided by the state court of appeals
that any disabled or INDECENT confed-
crate veteran who holds a certificate
from the ordinary authorizing him to
peddle or to conduct business in any
county in the state lis not subject to
license tax imposed upon the sale
of near beer"
But at the last session of the gen
eral assembly, when the fight was1on
over the near beer section of the gen
eral tax act, provision was finally
incorporated taking away this privi-
lege from confederate veterans.

A Friend Pays Tribute to a Former
Dawson Citizen.


Dawson Citizen.
Mr.. G. L. Beeland passed from
earth to his reward in heaven on
September 22nd. at 9 O'Clock a. m.
after long seige of suffering, which
he bore bravely and valiantly, per-
fectly conscious to the last. and
showed his appreciation and graft
tude to his faithful and devoted wife
and other loved ones, who were by
his bedside when the end came and
the summons of God, which we all
must hear sooner or later, st is
enough, come up higher"
Mr.. Beeland was born at Opelika.
Ala, December 8, 1865. He was the
loved and trusted employee of the
S. A. l.. Railway at Columbus as
freight agent for years before his
death, always faithful to every duty,
discharging with answering tact
every obligation devolving on him.
He married 10 years ago the 23rd.
of this month Miss Ella Flynn of
LAGRANGE, who has proven a loyal,
loving wife and survives him. No
children blessed their union, so she
weeps alone over the loss of the dear
est and noblest of husbands. Yet
not alone, for God says: 'I1l never
leave thee nor forsake thee" May
a precious Savious temper the winds
to the "shorn lamb and as she sits
in solitude may she reach through
the lowering clouds and clasp hands
with Him who says: "Lo, | am with
you always, even unto the end"

! He says: "The surplus of $2,056,-
503.19 gives ample money to meet
the calls on the treasury until some
time during the summer. From that
time until the ad valorem taxes come
in all the teachers claims cannot
be met unless other current liza
bilities are left unpaid. If pen
sions are paid semi-annually and the
Legislature holds appropriations down
to their present figures, through the
increase in taxable values the surplus
will soon be sufficient to meet all liza
bilities as soon as they mature, in
Guiding amounts payable to teach
ers."
Declines to Give Figures.
Asked for the figures on which
he had based his estimate Mr..
Brown said he had not included them
in his statement because it would
make the report too voluminous.
A request of the reporter to see
the figures was met by the statement
that they were not then available.
1t is a generally known fact that
the ad valorem taxes which come in
at the close of each year must be used
to pay the legislative appropriations
for the year succeeding During the
nine months of the year, from March
to October, the receipts of the treas
ury would not begin to pay the cur
rent expenses of the state.
I There may be some who will doubt
how the two millions balance in the
treasury at the end of the year can
be credited as surplus when the APP
preparations for the common school
fund for 1910 alone is $2,225,OOO
, which would more than eat up the
so-called surplus.
There are others who will find it
hard to see that there is surplus
on the first of January, when the
state has just funds enough to last
until the middle of summer, or half
the year
