nounced during the week that
the 0'Gee would no longer wait
at Melville until $3.50 on Sunday

the O'Gee Sunday evening train
was detained at Melville until
$50 for the purpose Of allowing
those who were accustomed to
spend a summer Sunday at the
popular lakes situated on the
railroad, an opportunity to
prolong their stay. Now
that the winter is about
to set in and there are
very few who visit the lakes the
O'Gee officials determined to
have trains leave Melville on
schedule time, asriving in Ope-

Southern Veterans
To Ask Congress to
Return Cotton Tax

GRIFFIN, Jan. 22.-The Spalding
County Camp of Confederate Veter-
ans has just started a movement in
which the cooperation of all other
camps of veterans in the State is
sought to secure the return of taxes
levied on cotton in the Southern
States from July, 1862, to March,
1858
The veterans declare the tax levied
was held unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court ard it's
collection stopped Now they say
justice demands that the taxes. with
a fair rate of interest, be returned to
the several States. Petitions will be
sent to Congress to pass laws to this
effect. The sum of taxes collected as
declared by the veterans is s6S,072,-
SS899.
