Opinion as to What Constitutes Ci-

Tax collectors over the state are

tax. Georgia puts tax of $25 on
all dealers in cigarettes, cigarette

1t is the insertion of those words
Cigarette tobacco" in the tax act
which is causing the trouble.
What is cigarette tobacco? Was
there ever any distinctively cigar
cite tobacco made-tobacco that is
not used for smoking in pipes, or
except for cigarettes?
Some of the tax collectors have
tried to collect the tax from deal
ers who sell simply granulated to-
baccos, such as are used commonly
in pipes, but which are also fire.
quently used for making cigarettes,
and as a result several complaints
have been made to Comptroller Gen
eral W. A. Wright.
AS consequence the comptroller
general has ruled that the tax can
not be collected from those who sell
only smoking tobacco, unless it can
be shown that they sell a tobacco
which is used exclusively for MAX

WESTON'S SEA TO SEA TRAMP
The Veteran Pedestrian Expects to
Finish Long Walk in
Ninety Days.

With seventy years to his credit
and still displaying the sprightly
step of a youth Edward Payson Wes-
ton, the best known pedestrian in
the world, started at Los Angeles
Cal, on his next trans-continental
walk on February 1st with New York
as his goal. This will make the Sec
Ond time that Weston will have
walked from ocean to ocean, and he
expects he will be able to accom-
plish the $500 miles in ninety days
On March 18th last year the vet
eran walker started from New York
city to walk to San Francisco in 100
days. Billiards and unlocked for
impediments to favorable progress
held him from completing the dis
lance in the scheduled time, the trip
taking 104 days and 7 hours. He
figures that the handicaps which in
terfered with him then will be over
come by taking a mrOe southerly
route and reaching the neighborhood
of New York when there will be no
snow banks to plow through. Ac-
COrding to his schedule he will ar
rive at the city hall in New York
city on May 18th.
Following his usual policy Weston
will do no walking on Sundays, TAX
ing this day for a rest after a week
of hard walking. In view of this he
will make Monday a record breaker
for distance, and the schedule shows
throughout that he will do a greater
amount of walking Monday than on
any other day. His longest trip
laid out for one day is May 18th,
when he will cover a distance of sew
enty-four miles, from Rhinecliff to
Ossining, n. Y.
The first stage of his journey after
leaving Los Angeles will be along the
route of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad. During this part
of the journey he will be accompa-
MED by a handcar, which will carry
his provisions, this being necessary
owing to the sparsely settled condi-
ton of the country This aid was
accorded to the aged pedestrian
through the courtesy of President
Ripley of the Santa Fe railroad.
Weston takes with him a letter
from Mayor Gaynor of New York to
the mayor of Los Angeles.

THE SETTING SUN.
u
u
- led 1t Round the
Ocean So 1t Could Rise Again.

AON III aOunu the
ocean SO 1t Could Rise Again.
The ancients had some queer
theorles whereby they sought to ex-
plain the rising and setting of the
sun. They thought the earth to be
nat and were greatly puzzled to
know how the same sun which
plunged into the ocean at a fabu-
lous distance in the west could re-
appear the next morning at an equal
~ great distance in the east. A
number Of remarkable theories were
advanced, and every one of them was
wrong.
Mythologists of old asserted that
after the sun had dipped in the west
ern ocean at sunset (the Iberains and
other ancient nations actually mag
med that they could hear the his
sing of the waters when the glowing
globe was plunged therein) he was
seized by Vulcan and placed in a
golden goblet. This strange craft.
with its astonishing cargo, navigated
the ocean by nOrtherly course so
as to reach the east again in time for
sunrise the following morning.
Among the more sober physicians
OF old, as related by Aristotle, it was
believed that in some manner the
sun was conveyed by night across
the northern regions, and that dark
ness was due to mountains which
screened off the sunbeams during the
voyage.

A party of Savannah Young men
are preparing to make a long tour in
wagon this summer. They are all
employed in the cotton business, and
there is very little doing in that line

FARMS WITHOUT CHILDREN.
Section in New York Where Little
Ones Might Be.


Ones Might Be.
Seventy-two houses, thirteen of
them empty, on eleven miles of road
through excellent farming country, is
what a correspondent in Moravia re-
CARDS in his lecture as a typical situa-
ton in this state, says the Syracuse
Post-Standard. The farmers down
that way are in large measure
elderly men. Among the original
families deaths are more common
than births. The problem of getting
help on the farm is a distressing one.
The lecturer suggests that men must
be hired from the city or village.
And of all the unhappy details of
the unhappy situation the most so
is the fact that in the eleven miles
there are only twenty-five persons
less than twenty-one years old.
Homes in city where children might
be, but are not, are deplorable, but
such homes in the country are not
only lacking in one of the things that
make home happy, but are without
one of the greatest sources of the
farmers wealth, and are denying to
the nation what has been the basis
of its greatness, farm bred boys and
girls.

Don't Want a Prohi. Party.
MANS EQUAL IN STRENGTH.
Harvard Professor Says Woman Is
Fast Reaching That Stage.

Fast Reaching That Stage.
DR.. Dudley A. Sargent, Harvard S
physical director, stands firm in the
belief that woman is fast nearing the
day when she will approach the ca
liabilities of man, not only in men
tai powers, brit also in physical
strength. DR.. Sargent says that wo-
man has begun to realize the surest
road to beauty of face and figure,
as well as health of body, lies
through the path of physical culture.
Society, with it's fads and frills,
has been partially responsible for
this embracing of muscle and body
developments, style" being respon
sible for it's present popularity,
which, when it's material benefits are
shown. will become a permanent in
stitution. Outdoor games, such as
tennis, golf and horseback riding,
have served to make the college and
society girl stronger, while her sis
ter of the shops and factory finds
recreation and muscle nOurishment
in the factory gymnasiums and pub
lie gymnasiums.
By these modern changes woman
is gradually coming into her own.
Her sex is becoming strong and
well-developed race. While man has
had the advantages of centuries of
training along this line woman's am
bition was latent, but now that she
has started toward the intended goal
her development and progress will
be rapid. Perhaps she will yet over
take man in a field which he has
been wont to claim as all his own.
Woman's habits are better than
mans and her physical welfare is not
retarded by business cares and
worry.

NIGH BEER BE BATTLE FIELD

start a prohibition party in Georgia.
Atlanta's Baptist preachers at their
meeting yesterday made it clear that
they were not in sympathy with the
movement to organize a prohibition
party in this state. DR.. Broughton
brought the matter up when he ex-
planned that the visit of George
Stewart, who is to lecture at his
tabernacle, has no connection with
the movement to form a political
prohibition party in Georgia.
He said he thought that move
ment was ill-timed, and that he
would fight it in every possible way
Il want to see the present politi-
cal machine in Georgia so thoroughly
saturated with prohibition sentiment
from head to foot that a prohibition
party will not be necessary" was
the reason DR.. Broughton gave for
his attitude.
Several other ministers present
warmly Endorsed his stand in the
matter.
Another Near Beer Fight?
Altogether it looks as if things
were shaping up for another fight on
near beer at the coming summer ses-
sion of the legislature. These pro-
hibition meetings have somewhat
stirred the thing up. The members
of the legislature have been spend
ing the year at home, and they have,
no doubt, got line" on the sem
timents of their home folks. If in
the majority of counties they are
"agin" near beer, why, that article
is going to have another redhot fight
on its hands when they return.
But if sentiment has not taken
that trend it will be useless, of
course, for the Anti-Saloon League
to agitate it.
What the legislature does in the
matter this summer, or what it fails
to do, will be a pretty good index
of sentiment generally over the state,
for the people have had a chance to
talk over things with their repre-
sentatives.
At the last session the near beer
proposition was sprung as a surprise,
and many of the members voted
their own views without trying to as
certain what the home folks though
about it.

WHEN THE GEORGIA LEGISLA-

Coming Session Will Indicate Senti-

ATLANTA, Ga.-Atlanta is loom
ing up as a prohibition center. Last
week there gathered here some of the
most prominent prohibition leaders
in the United States, including the
chairman of the national committee
and Eugene Chain, candidate for
president in 1908 on the national
prohibition ticket.
AS an outcome of that meeting it
is said state prohibition tickets for
governor and perhaps other state
house officers are to be put in the
field in Georgia and other southern
states this year.
Now it is announced that the an
.nual spring convention of southern
superintendent of national and state
anti-saloon leagues will be held in
Atlanta this year. 1t was understood
that this convention was originally to
go to Nashville, but the executive
committee changed it's mind, and has
the Georgia league that Atlanta has
been selected. Mr. Richards has been
requested to become chairman of the
committee on arrangements for the
convention, and has appointed to
serve with him superintendent Ham
ilton of Tennessee, Lawrence of Ala
bama, Palmer of Kentucky and Can
non of Virginia.
