WILL NOT PARTICIPATE.
San Francisco Will Have to Worry
Along Without Great Britain. No
Reason Is Assigned.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-After ex-
hibitiDg much concern over the
places which would be assigned to
prospective exhibitors by the man
agement of the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition the British government finally
has declined to participate, it be-
came known today.
The long delay in acting upon the
invitation to participate in the fair,
extending a year ago, has been the
cause of deep concern TO the manage
ment of the exposition, particularly
as formidable opposition had like
wise developed in Germany, where
certain of the great trade associa-
tions, such as those representing the
steel and iron manufacturers, had
formally requested the German gov
eminent to decline the invitation.
In an informal way it is said that
dissatisfaction on the part of the
great commercial nations with GER
tain features of the pending tariff bill
which they felt bore hardly upon
their head was the reason for the at
titude of covert hostility toward the
San Francisco fair.

BIG DECREASE IN RETURNS
Thirty-Five Out of Fifty-Nine COun-
ties Show Loss in Tax Values Of
More Than $773. 900.

Besides its other f.
nancial troubles Georgia faces the
probability of a big decrease in tax
returns this year as compared with
1912. Up to date fifty-nine counties
have sent in their tax digests to Con-
troller General Wright. These show
net losses in tax values of 1913, 1929
as compared with last. year. Thirty
five counties show losses, while gains
are recorded in twenty-four. The
biggest loss so far reported is from
Berrien county, which has fallen off
$356.SO9, while the largest gain,
$303,191, comes from Gordon. Gov.
Slaton is keeping a close watch on
the returns, as they are likely TO
prove an important factor in shaping
legislation as to appropriations and
tax revision.
There will be efforts made the first
of the week to secure a reconsidera-
ton of the SHEPARD tax revision bill
passed by the house on Friday. The
strong tax revision advocates of the
house who voted for the Sheppard
bill on the theory that half loaf is
better than none, and even some Of
Mr.. Sheppard's followers are much
disappointed over the measure as it
passed. The charge is made that
Mr.. Sheppard failed to keep an agree
ment with certain members who sup
ported his bill upon conditions. 1t is
claimed that under the Sheppard bill
even the county tax boards are inef-
fective. Two amendments designed
to strengthen these boards, it is stat
ed, were offered by Mr. Nunnally Of
Floyd and Mr. McMichael of Marion.
1t is stated that Mr.. Sheppard agreed
to support these amendments and
was to lift his hand as a signal to his
followers, but that when they came
up for vote he continued to gaze out
of the window. Whether the bill is
reconsidered or not it is certain to
be materially amended in the senate.

BY A VOTE OF 1O7 TO SO
Sheppard Bill With Its Strength Re-
moved Passes the House. Sem
ate Clips appropriations.

ATLANTA.-Fighting grimly but
hopelessly for four days, the group
of men in the house standing for eff
fective action for revising the tax
law, seeing the tide turn against
them on any kind of a state board,
faced about like true men and liter
ally forced a house antagonistic to
any law whatever TO accept the Shep-
pard substitute.
And while this was under way in
the house the senate was busy strip
ping from the general appropriation
bill the sum of $250,325 to make the
expenditures accord with estimated
revenues!
1t was a wonderful fight in the
house during the long session lasting
from o'clock in the morning until
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The revisionists were on the job.
A roll call was sustained, probably
holding many a hurdler in line. But
at that had not the advocates of the
Lipscomb bill with the state board
stepped into the breach it is more
than probable that the Sheppard bill
would have failed and not a single
piece of legislation on tax revision
would have passed this session, but
they pulled the Sheppard substitute
over by 107 to SO.
1t was noted that Mr.. Stovall Of
Ebert, who had been practically floor
leader on the Sheppard bill through
out the long fight, on the final test
voted against it.

SLEEPING FAMILY ATTACKED

CAIRO, Ga.-Two members OF a
family of eight are expected to die,
and three others are seriously wound
ed. as the result OF an attack made
on the sleeping family of George Bod
ford. a white farmer living six miles
north of this place, by negro, Ed
Leconte who was armed with an axe.
The attack was made just before mid
night
The sheriff of Grady county, with
A posse of about fifty men, armed to
the teeth with Winchesters, shotguns
and other weapons, are securing the
county with track dogs in search OF
the negro. Feeling is running high as
a result of the attack.
Bedford and wife are expected to
die. They received gashes in their
heads as they lay asleep that yirtu-
ally Drained them. They have never
regained consciousness. His three
oldest children, two girls, 16 and IA,
and a boy s, have gashes over their
heads, necks, shoulders, arms and
backs. The other three children were
asleep in another room OF the house
and were not reached by the negro.
GrappIed With Negro.
The three children who were at
tackled heard the negro as he entered
the house through a front window,
and after a time called TO their faith
err. 1t was too late then, however, |.
as the negro had already finished his
work on the father and mother.
fearing the children call the negro
then entered their room, and they .
grappled with him, catching his legs
and throwing him to the floor. This
enraged the man so he continually /
hacked them on their heads, some /
times missing and striking them on
their bodies and arms. While he was
doing this they all three recognized .
him as being Leconte. He worked .
at a turpentine still near here. At
this juncture hebecame frightened .
and made his escape, leaving his axe
and shoes behind. In the struggle .
one of the girls had her nose severed |
from her face and her upper teeth
knocked out.
A farmer living about quarter of
a mile away, hearing the screams OF
the children, went to investigate and
made the discovery of the attack.
