CAN PAY TAX
TO OVERSEERS
OR COLLECTOR
IMPROVEMENT IN METHOD
About Two Thousand in COun-
~ Liable For Tax

The county has prepared for the
work of collecting the road tax for
1912 and has arranged that these can
be paid either to Tax Collector Small
or to road overseers, or whom nine
will be named, each in charge of his
district.
This method of collecting the tax
will be convenience to the taxpayers
and at the same time will insure ac-
curacy in the collection OF
bringing in the revenues more prompt
ly and more fully than might other
wise be the case.
The road tax, as is we'll known, is
SO year, and every man in the
county between the ages of 81 and so
years is liable for it. In the city
street tax is levied. The road tax

only from the residents outside of the
corporate limits. Those who desire
to do road work instead or paying the
tax are given the privilege of puttin;;
in ten days on the highways Need
less to say, no one avails himself OF
the alternative.
The road tax is generally paid
promptly. The number of delinquents
is few, half dozen year. Such de-
linquents are summoned before the
| county commissioners, sitting as
judges, and are liable to such fine as
the board may see fit to impose
The road overseers will prepare
lists of all the men in their districts
who are liable for the road tax and
will notify them of the date by which
time the tax must be paid. AS stated
the taxpayers can pay the money to
these overseers, or if more conven-
lent can pay it to County Tax Collec
tor Small.
In all about two thousand men are
liable to this tax this year, it is be-
lieved, and the county's revenues from
it should be approximately $4,000

One REPLY FOR EVERY

This Instance Shows How to
Invest Money Well

Everybody reads the want column
of The Times-Recorder That ac-
counts for its popularity with adver-
Users. Here's a concrete instance OF
what it does.
Mr.. L. B. Forrest wanted a second
hand roller-top desk He put the ad-
vertisement in yesterdays morning
Times-Recorder.
The first mail brought him q letter,
received at $3.50 a. m, telling him of
one that he could buy.
BY a m, three persons had call
ed on him who had desks to sell.
By noon seven others had been in
to see him, or telephoned, Offering
desks
Fifteen cents spent for an advertise
ment, brought a dozen replies and 2
trade was made by noon.
Everybody who uses the want col
umn gets about the same results,
whether there be something to sell,
or something wanted Even the man
who advertised for a widow for a wife
last week got several replies, which
were forwarded to him in Macon.
By the way, that was a bona fide adj
vertisement from a Macon man who
meant business.

Harmon, Clark and Wilson all have
supporters In the convention. The

Senator Patterson are delegates to to-

probably not be among those present
