HEAVY TAX ON DOGS.
Bill in the Georgia Legislature
Places the License at $3.50.

Atlanta, Ga, July IA. Any
Georgian who wants to keep a
dog after September l will have
to pay the State $3.50 for the
privilege, if a bill introduced in
the House to-day passes. Since
Georgia is financially embarrass-
ed, any plan for increasing the
revenue is hailed with delight.
The bill provides that township
constables shall not only kill all
unlicensed pups but bury them
under at least twofeet of earth. "
Dogs under three months of
age are exempt. The author
says frankly that the State must
have the money now that the
liquor revenue is no more and
that dogs are a luxury anyhow.

her children away to some part

begin life anew.

he went away: that he had los.

had finally regained his senses
he learned that she was married,
and he decided to remain away.
He has been all over the country.

COUNTY DEBTS GROW RAPIDLY
Comptroller General Says People
Do Not Realize The Conditions.

Columbia Special in the Char
lesion Post:
"A classified statement of
bonded Indebtedness by counties
would startle the people of this
State into a realization of a most
serious state of affairs that exists
from one end of the state to the
other, said Comptroller General
Jones today. Few people rea-
lize how steadily and rapidly
this indebtedness is climbing up.
/ really can form no accurate
conception of the true facts my
self, but l know that it has
climbed to an alarming degree,
and the situation is getting worse
steadily. Probably the most
serious part of this business is
the way the debts of the coun.
ties are piling up. A county
will get behind with a floating
debt on its hands, and the next
thing we hear of is that the
county's delegation is down here
with a scheme to dispose of this
Indebtedness with bonds. /
know of one county that has had
its bonded debt increased to
about 100000 within recent
years.
This Office has had in view
the work of compiling state
ment of this bonded condition
for some time, but this would re-
quire a great amount Of work,
the sending of a special man out
over the State as well as almost
endless work in the Office, and
We supply have never gotten to
ut, a d probably never will. The
Legislature does not give us SUI
ficient Office force.
People wonder that a county
| treasurer occasionally gets mix
ed up in his accounts and goes
short. It's a wonder to me that
more of them don't get into
trouble. The system of booking
has been so complicated by the
requirements of the Legislature,
until am expecting somebody
in the next Legislature to advo-
cate the appointment of State
auditor to do nothing but look
after this sort of Offices.
School districts have gone
mad issuing bonds for special
school purposes. There are over
fifty new ones this year. The
treasurer is required to keep each
Of these separate and the dog and
poll tax collected in each district
separate. Why. a man paying
his tax from any part of the coun-
ty may elect under the law to
have his taxes go to any school
district he may name, or even
to any special school,"
Mr.. Jones relates an amusing
illustration of such a complica-
| ton in his own experience in Alb
beville county. His farm which
is split almost in the center by
the Seaboard road, is sliced by
four school districts from differ
ent sides, each running down on
his farm to take in a slice of the
Seaboard so as to get part of the
taxes the road pays.

THE CONSTIPATION EVIL
Is RESPONSIBLE for Most Cases of Piles

Constipation paralyzes the blood ves-
sells of the lower bowel, and thus
causes piles. Women, and all indoor
workers. are most frequent sufferers.
A common mistake is the use of ONT
ments and suppositories, which cannot
cure piles permanently, because they
do nothing to start up fresh, free
circulation in the weakened parts. OPP
erations, too are useless, except as
temporary relief. and the only certain
way to cure piles IS :Tith internal treat
ment.
DR. ]. S Leonhardt, of Lincoln, Neb.,
perfected the only internal remedy for
piles, a special medicine for strength
ening the flabby veins in the lower
bowel and freeing the circulation. 1t
cures permanently by removing the
cause.
