TAXES ARE ALMOST PAID
Collector Appointed to Get
Them in Fulton

Atlanta, Ga, April 9-Chatham coun-
ty is far ahead of any other county
in the state in the payment of near
beer license taxes for 1919, bubt it
took Wilkie Brown hot on the trail o.
the delinquents for several weeks
to round into the state treasury $70,-
$40, with balance of about $4,000 yet
to be remitted
Mr., Brown was at the capitol today
to consult the governor and make A
report on what he had accomplished.
He is modest kind of a chap, but tit,
set of his jaw indicates determination.
He didn't have smooth sailing down
that way by any means, for all sorts
of obstacles were placed in his way.
He has received many threatening let
tars, too, but none of them stopped or
intimidated him a little bit.
Finally he rounded up some seven
ty-nine with warrants charging viola.
tons if the prohibition law, and there
was a precipitated rush to pay up
These paid court costs and attorneys
fees in addition. Mr. Brown stated to-
day that there was probably $4,000
more to be collected, which he would
go after and get right away.
Fulton is the big delinquent. To date
this county has paid only $4,000, and
this will probably not represent half of
that actually due. Seeing no signs OF
the dealers paying up, Gov. Brown
has appointed Clarence Bell, son Of
Judge Bell, to collect the money due
the state. Mr.. Bell has instructions 10
go right after the dalinquents and
those not paving promptly to present
them to the grand jury.
In Richmond county Solicitor Gene~-
al A. l.. Franklin went right to work OIL
his own initiative, and has seen that
the dealers pay up promptly. Rich
mond has paid in $2S,10O, and it S
understood that there are only aboue
four men who have net paid there yet.
According to the books of the state
treasurer, the following represents the
money paid into the treasury for beer
