REVISION OF TAX
SYSTEM is URGED

Atlanta, Ga.-A net increase of ST.
106,739 in the aggregate value of the
properties of corporations returned
for taxation during the year 1909 Is
shown by the annual report of Comp
troller General w. A. Wright, just
issued. The grand aggregate Of the
value OF all corporations returning
to the comptroller general for the
1909 is put at $120,679,989, while the
value Of property returned during the
previous year was S119,57S,250.
The increase for the same period
in the valfe of franchise is put at
S365,311. The corporations paid a
total of $500, 1886 state taxes into
the Golfers OF the state during the
year 1909.
An increase of three hundred per
cent is noted in tax values
Appropriations, therefore," states
the comptroller general in his report,
SHOULD be held down in future until
our revenue is increased from other
than present sources. Just here
might add that the revenues of the
state could largely be supplemented
by providing for the taxation Of in
heritance as is done by many of the
states"
Comptroller General Wright also
recommends a thorough revision of
our revenue system, a matter which
he has repeatedly recommended He
declares that this is a matter of vi
tai Importance to all classes of citi-
zens and should receive the attention
of the general assembly at the pres
ent session He says the defective
and disjointed machinery for assess
ing property for taxation permits
much of the taxable property Of the
state to escape altogether, and very
much larger proportion to evade its
just and equitable part. He says it
is well known fact that in certain
counties property is assessed at a
certain figure when in an adjoining
county, under almost identical condi-
tons, like property is assessed at a
different figure.

The physicians of Athens, while
not fearing any epidemic of the dis

that within the past few weeks five
well developed cases Of pellagra nave
been found among the poorer work

has two cases under treatment, while
another has three, and in each in

being negro. The fact that as yet
no cure or hopeful treatment has
been discovered for the disease is Civ
ing the physicians no little uneasi-
ness, but as it is not infectious, there
is no danger of the dreaded disease
spreading. Whether the disease was
contracted in Athens and what the
cause, is unknown, but the physicians
are making rigid investigation to
see what can be done to control the
terrible malady.

JUSTICE FULLER DEAD.
Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court Passes Away.

Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court Passes Away.
Bar Harbor, Maine.-Melville w
Fuller, chief justice of the United
States supreme court, died at his
summer home at Sorrento, Maine.
His death was sudden, coming as a
direct result of heart failure. During
the last few days he had apparently
been in the best of health.
Melville Weston Fuller was born at
Augusta, Maine, on February IL, 1888.
His father was Frederick Augusta
Fuller. He was graduated from Bow
doin college, taking the degree of
master of arts in 1853. after which he
attended course of law lectures at
Harvard. He was given the degree of
LII. D. by Northwestern and Bowdoin
in 1888, Harvard in 1890 and Yale
and Dartmouth in 1901.
Mr.. Fuller's first wife was Calista
o. Reynolds, whom he married in
1858. On May 80, 1866, he married
Mary E. Coolbagh, daughter of Will
liam Coolbaugh of Chicago. Admit
ted to the bar in 1855, he formed a
law partnership at Augusta and dab
bled in journalism, becoming associ-
ate editor of The Aid, democratic
paper published in Augusta. Turning
to politics he became president OF
the common council and city solicitor.
In 1856, however, he, moved to chi
cago, where he practiced law until
1888. On April 80 of that year he
was appointed chief justice. The
appointment was confirmed on July
20 and he took Office on October 8,
1883.
Mn Fuller was regarded as an au.
thority on international law. In 1905
he was a member of the council at
The Hague that settled the dispute
between Tngland and France as to the
rights of the latter's ships to fly the
tri,colors in the Persian gulf. Mr..
Fuller was the representative Of
Great Britain. In 1899 Mr. Fuller,
with Justice David j. Brewer, went
to Paris as members of the Anglo
Venezuelan boundary arbitration
tribunal.
In his early days Mr.. Fuller was a
warm friend of Stephen A. Douglas,
the opponent of Lincoln. One of his
most notable speeches was made to
welcome Mr.. Douglas to Chicago at a
great reception in 1860 Among his
close friends Mr.. Fuller was known
as somewhat of poet, though he
was modest about his Versifying at
tainments.
