Prophet Smith Says Polysamy is No
Longer Practlced.


In an interview at Washington,
Joseph F. Smith, IA years old, presi-
dent of the Mormon church, at last
broke the silence with which he has
hitherto met charges that his follow
ers still practice polygamy and that
the church operates in defiance OF law.
Denouncing as absolute false
hoods" the charges against himself
and against his church, he declared
that polygamy no longer is practiced
by Mormons, and that the man who Is
caught taking a plural wife is prompt
ly accommodated He declared that
he still supports, but does not live
with, the five wives he married prior
to the decision of the supreme court
that polygamy is unlawful. and before
the governing body Of the church
issued its famous manifesto forbid
ding its followers to continue the
practice. The prophet said:
Since my elevation to the presi'
dency of the church have fought
day and night to have Mormon follow
ers cease entering into polygamous
marriages"

VAULTS GROANING
AT The TREASURY
Sum Of S1,8OO,OOO,OOO in
Cash Stacked Away.
is THE LARGEST ON RECORD

For First Time income From inter
nal Revenue and Customs is Nearly
EquaI--Report for 1911 Shows First
Cash Surplus Since 1907.
When the governments fiscal year
Of 1911 closed Friday the federal
treasury held cash surplus Of at
least $33,OO0,OOO and showed an ex-
cess of all receipts over all disburse-
ments for the first time since 1907.
While the revised returns, showing
the governments exact financial con-
dition, will not be available for sew
eral days, from such figures as are at
hand, and such estimates as treasury
officials consider reliable, it is appar-
ent that the government, during the
last twelve months, received from all
sources not less than $6s9,000,0 00
about $10,000,000 more than was ex-
pected, and spent $656,00O,O0O, about
$4,000, 900 less than was planned.
For the first time income from in
ternal revenue and customs was near
ly equal. While customs receipts for
the year fell S2O,00O,000 and will
stand at about 312,OOO,OO0, the inter
nal revenue promises to total $315,-
100000, the greatest sum ever col
lected from that source, which will
surpass the record-breaking figures of
1866.
Four causes have contributed to the
great increase in the internal revenue.
The corporation tax is responsible for
$28, 100000; whisky and other spirits,
$155, 100000; tobacco, $62,0O0,OoO, and
beer, SCI 100000.
1t was estimated that when collec-
tors of internal revenue throughout
the country closed their offices today
the government would have at least
500, 100000 of the corporation tax
money in hand. The other 100000
is not expected until July 10, the last
day without penalty.
The federal treasury enters the ifs.
cal year 1912 with more than $780,
100000 in cash stacked away in the
steel-ribbed vaults, the largest sum
ever held there.

Crescent City News
the GLORIOUS
''F FOuR1H's
Celebration in Crescent City
All That Could be Desired
Barbecu an Immense Success.
Eloquent Patriotic Address by Senator
S. J. Hilburn.

Eloquent Patriotic Address by Senator
S. J. Hilburn.
Fully 1000 visitors from PaIatka, Sat
suma, Sisco, Pomona, Como, San Mateo,
Huntington, Fruitland, Georgetown,
Seville and St. Johns Park arrived in
Crescent City last Tuesday morning as
guests of the town for the Fourth of July
celebration.
1t was the largest, most successful bar
becue and picnic held here in many
years, and the day was perfect.
Early in the morning the visitors be-
gan TO arrive in carriages, wagons and
automobiles and gather at the south park
and school grounds. A little before
HOO o'clock the steamer Crescent ar
rived with two hundred visitors from
Palatka, and there were half dozen
launches from the same city. The PEG
pie of st. Johns Park came over on the
launch Verona and other smaller launch
eS, while all the time the steady stream
of vehicles continued 10 arrive from the
country.
AT 1890 dinner was announced. Long
tables were filled with the contents of
baskets, piled high with good things,
and there were 200 feet of table.
One hundred yards east of the tables
1900 lbs. of beef and pork had been bar
becued over oak Goals all through the
night and this was done TO juicy perfec-
ton. Five hundred loaves of bread
were also furnished by the committee,
together with great boilers of coffee.
The dinner was a splendid success-so
pronounced by all.
After dinner all adjourned to the Au-
ditorium where Mayor Graham made a
few remarks of welcome and introduced
Rev. DR.. J. w. Purcell of Palatka who
delivered the invocation.
The St. Johns Park military band
stationed in the big building called the
people thither with patriotic airs.
AT the close of the invocation Mayor
Graham introduced the orator of the
day, Senator S. J.. Hilburn, who was
warmly applauded as he advanced TO the
front of the stage. Senator Hilburn'S
theme was External Vigilence is the
Price of Liberty" and from this as a
text he showed how necessary it was
that all American citizens should not
only remember the sacrifices OF the
fathers, but ever alert to guard against
foes, as we'll as the steady stream of emf
grants from European countries and see
that they did not arrive faster than they
could be assimilated. Mr.. Hilburn'S adj
dress was an eloquent appeal for patriot
ism, love of our country and its free in
situations, and was on par with the
best Fourth of July orationS ever deliv
cred. He was followed in a few briel
remarks by Hon. W. ). Middleton o.
Pomona, which closed the exercises o.
the day.
From here the crowd scattered to The
ball ground and to the V. |. A. hall
On the former game of base ball be
tween the home team and a visiting
nine from Palatka resulted in victory
for the home team by score OF 9 TO 4
i AT the hall dancing was continued unit
late with music furnished by the st
Johns Park orchestra.
i Altogether it was one of the most sue
cessful Fourth OF July picnicS ever hel'
in the county.

BIENNIAL SESSION.
Bill to Change Meetings Of Georgia
Legislature.


Legislature.
A general sentiment in both
branches of the Georgia legislature to
change the time of the sessions of the
general assembly, has crystallized in
to two divergent bills upon the sub
ject.
w. H. Burwell, of Hancock county,
placed one before the lower house on
Thursday afternoon providing for a
ten days session in January for the
Inauguration of the governor, but re-
tanning a forty days session in the
summer for the real work of the body.
Senator w. j. Harris, of the Thirty,
eighth district, Cedartown, introduced
a biennial bill In the senate Friday
morning, different and more sweeping
than Mr.. Burwell's measure. Senate
Harris bill provides for the meetin
of the legislature to take place in d
fifty days session, beginning the first
Wednesday in January, and that SEES
sions be held bi-ennially thereafter.

GIRL STAYS SELF.
Because She Failed to Pass in Final
Examinations.

Because She Failed to Pass in Final
Examinations.
Brooding because she failed to pass
the final examination in the gradual
ing class of the Anderson Street
school, Louise NJ. Doty, a 16-year-old
girl, killed herself at Savannah by
Asphyxiation.
Miss Doty was found in the bath
room of her home, where she lived
with her father and brother, by her
brother when he returned from work.
He smelled escaping gas and traced
the odor to the bath room. He was
startled to find his sister lying on the
floor with her head on a pillow.
At her side was a rubber tube from
an open gas jet. She had put the end
of the tube In her mouth and died IN
this manner.
Physicians were summoned, but 1t
was determined that Miss Doty had
been dead some time when she was
reached.
Miss Doty had two years in success
sion failed to graduate from the An
derson Street school, and this preyed
on her mind and was responsible for
her desire to take her own life.

secured a negro named Joe Watts,
who was charged with having acted
suspiciously about the home of Mr..
Bud Haw, a prominent citizen, who
lives in Blasingames district.
While no definite charge had been
made against Watts further than that
of suspicion, it is believed that the

caused the attack upon the Jail. Watts
was taken to tract of woods near by
and lynched
1t is said that two days ago Watts
was found acting suspiciously near
Haw's home. Two of Haw's little
girls were at work in a field, and
Watts is said to have remained
around the place all day Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Tom Allen, colored. charged with
having committed criminal assault in
the eastern part of Walton county
some time ago, and who had been for
some time in Fulton county jail Tor
safe keeping, was taken from the
officers from Atlanta on the midnight
train to Social Circle and carried
about two miles north of the city and
hanged to telegraph pole. His body
was riddled with bullets.
