The company, besides being capital
lied at $10,OOO,OO0 and the possessor
Of acres OF timber and ranch land and
the finest mining properties, provided
the unusual feature Of allowing the
investor to withdraw his money on de-

This investment fund was to in

Of $250000 dollars, which was then to
be deposited In the National Shawmut
bank, there to lie as guarantee Of
the solvency of the company and its
ability to appease any dissatisfied in

their money. The government officials
assert that this fund was never in ex.

was to accure only after the invest

no stock to any great amount was

HALL is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
State Chairman Appointed to Succeed
Judge John c. Hart.

Hewlett A. Hall, chairman of the
state democratic executive commit
tee, staunch Brown supporter and
a well known lawyer of Coweta coun-
ty, has been named by Governor
Brown to fill the unexpired term of
attorney-general, occasioned by the
resignation of John c. Hart.
The appointment of Mr.. Hall evil
IDENTIFY means a race in the coming
primary for attorney-general. 1t is
certain that Mr.. Hall will be a can
didate to succeed himself in the full
term, and equally certain that the
Smith forces will not permit his can
didacy to be unopposed. A man rep
resenting the Smith policies will GER
tainly be put in the race.
Mr.. Hall is one of the ablest and
best-known lawyers in the state. He
served two terms in the legislature
from Coweta county, and was. solic-
itor-general of the Coweta circuit fol-
lowing the death of Solicitor
Atkinson.
1t is expected that the news of the
action of Judge Hart will bring a
number of candidates into the field
for the full term of two years.

PRICE OF C|GARETT HIGHER
PACKAGES WHICH FORMERLY
CONTAINED 20 TO HAVE is.
To Be Decided Advance in the Little
White Rolls. Higher Taxes
Said to Be RESPONSIBLE.

~ oC - DCClOCu AUNuuCc HI the LuJilS
White Rolls. Higher Taxes
Said to Be Responsible.
Many bad things have been said
about the cigarette smoker, but so
far he has managed to get away with
his enjoyment of the tiny white rolls
without feeling the weight of that
which is commonly designated as
1.-The cost of living"
But it is long lane which has no
turn, and the devotee of Old Lady
Nicotine has come to the point where
he must pay the piper This is one
assessment on our pocketbook which
cannot be charged against the heart
less monopolies. 1t seems that the
aforesaid cost of living has begun
to have its effect on our Uncle Sam
uel, and he has raised the revenue
tax on tobaccos and smoking mate
rails in general to the extent that
Mr.. Duke, the American Tobacco
Company ct al, have had to announce
corresponding raises in price in or
der to keep the wolf from the door.
The jobbers and dealers have re-
ceived circulars from the manufac-
turers announcing the effect of the
higher revenue tax, which, by the
way, will probably effect only the
lower-priced goods. The present tax
on cigarettes is ga cents on those
which sell for 50 thousand or less,
and $1.0S on those which sell for
more than 50 a thousand. The new
regulation calls for a common tax OF
$1.25 on all cigarettes, regardless of
quality. 1t will be seen that this will
add rs cents thousand to the cheap
cigarettes and but II cents a thou
sand to the more expensive varieties.
The American Tobacco Company
has notified dealers that its Home
Runs and Pycaune cigarettes, which
have formerly been sold twenty in a
package for cents, will hereafter
be reduced in size to fifteen in a
package, and to be sold at the same
price. 1t is believed the result of
the higher prices will take the form
of a reduced quantity for the money
instead of a raise of price on the
package.
Little Cigars" too have haa the
tax raised to $1.25 a thousand.
These, which formerly sold ten in
box for 5 cents, will hereafter be
sold by the jobbers at $3.50, instead
.of 81. Those which sold ten in
box for 10 cents have been raised
from 1925 to $3.50 a thousand.
Prices on smoking tobacco are also
affected by the raise of the tax,
which formerly stood at, cents
pound, but which has been increased
to 8 cents a pound. This formerly
sold in one, one and two-thirds,
three, and three and one-third
ounces and so on to the package, and
was bought by the retailer by the
pound. The manufacturers have,
since the placing of the increased
tax, decreased the size of the pack
age, and now sell to the jobbers or
retailers by the gross, instead of des-
ignating the weight of the packages.
