A. f. Ault who went to Trinidad a
few weeks ago to manage drug
house in that city for the owner dur
ing his absene in the cast, has just
accepted a position as pharmacist in
a store at San Marcial, New Mexico.
In a letter to friends in this city he
states that the climate in that part Of
Mexico is as good as he ever exper-
fenced anywhere in the Union.
The different harvests are now max
ing fair progress since the clearing
up of the weather first of the present
week. Potato diggers are rushing the
finish OF that crop. Peaches have be-
gun to go out in considerable carload
numbers and shipments will increase
from day to day as the harvest forces
of pickers and packers get lined up.
The opinion seems to prevail that tho
rainy season might hold out until
eavy frosts, and alarm was felt that
a damaging frost to peaches on the
trees, might come at any time. 1t Is
not too late to still keep this posst-
bility in mind. for the coming Of such
a calamity this season would bring
loss and hardship to growers. There
Is perhaps not such need OF fast work
in the harvesting of any crop as there
is In our Elberta peaches. whose rip
ening season comes but little before
that when frost can be expected. and
the growers who have room for plac-
ing the fruit beyond that necessary
for packing. should keep ahead of the
packers as much as they can and save
the shipping quality. The peaches
this year are extra fine and those of
our county will undoubtedly bring top
prices on this years market.

AUSTRIANS PAY
AN INCOME TAX
IT IS NOT A NEW THING, BUT
THE REVISED SYSTEM PUTS A
TAX ON INCOMES OF $4,000 on
MORE.
BY ASSOCIATED PREss.

Vienna, Feb. 2I.-After a parliament
tary wrangle continuing over a year
the new income tax bill has been final
~ passed and the Austrian tax payer
finds himself in sympathy with ths
American citizen IN figuring out :hs
worst that can befaIl him under the
terms OF the new tax
The taxing Of incomes IS not a new
thing IN Austria but the revised sys-
tenn has so many new points that Il
will practically be beginning all over
again. The new law will exempt alto
gether more than half a million OF the
present tax payers, but will so raise
the rate Of taxation all around that an
increased revenue may result The
chief Improvement IS in favor OF the
poor man; the new burdens fall heav-
lest upon the bachelors. and persons
without children and persons with tn
comes of more than $4,000 e year.
The bachelor tax requires that such
persons having nobody depending upon
them will have to pay fifteen per cent
additional on the amount OF their in
come tax. Also persons having only
one other to provide for such as mar
ried persons without children, viii be
required to pay an additional ten per
cent.
The fight in parliament over the
new bill was almost entirely upon the
amount Of the minimum annual in
come liable to taxation Under the old
law the tax began upon incomes as
small as S240 a year. The Social Dem
ocrats, or Socialist Party. urged that
it was q great injustice to subject w sc
earners with such small incomes to
the tax even though it amounted to
$50 year, especially in view Of The
enormous Increase which has taken
place in the cost Of living since +he
present scale Of income taxation was
fixed seventeen years ago. The So
ciaIists demanded that the minim IN
income should he fixed ct $3.50 A
compromise was finally reached esta6-
fishing the minimum income liable to
taxation at 1920

NEW TRIAL GRANTED
BY SUPREME COURT

Springfield. Ill. Feb. 21.-Ray Pan
schmidt, convicted IN the Adams cir
cult court of a quadruple murder, won
in the supreme court of the state to-
day when the lower courts finding was
reversed on a writ Of error. He will
have a new trial
Pfanschmidt was accused OF the
murder OF his father, Charles. his mo-
Their Matilda, his sister, Blanche, and
Miss Emma Kaempen. a school tea
cher, who boarded in the Pfanschmidt
home. On the night of September 90,
1909. the home was destroyed by fire
and the four bodies were found In the
ruins. They showed signs Of having
been chopped with an axe. Plan
schmidt was then not 21 years old.
One Of the points which won a new
trial for the defendant was the de-
cision by the upper court that the
work of bioodhounds was too unrelia-
BILE to be accepted as evidence.
B1oodhounds taken to the scene Of
the crime were said to have followed a
trail to Pfanschmidt's lodging place.
The trial court admitted evidence of
the trailing by the dogs The admis-
sion Of this testimony was held by the
upper court to be an error.

DEATH PENALTY
FOR SMOKERS
OF OPIUM NOW
PROCLAMATION MAKING SUCH
AN ANNOUNCEMENT HAVE
BEEN PROMULGATED THROUGH
OUT SEW ERAL DIFFERENT
PROVINCES.
- AssOCIATED PREss.

Picking, Feb. DIFFERENTIATION an
nouncing the death penalty for smOk-
ers of opium have been promulgated,
according 10 reports from various
provinces. Although definite cases Of
executions for this breach of the law
seldom come to special notice, It Is re-
ported from WI Chang that a smoker
among the soldiers of the garrison
there was caught indulging in the
habit and after trial. before a cour,
made up of his comrades he was sem
fenced to immediate execution and
was shot to death.
This is one of many instances Of
the fact that courts of law are not en-
ployed in China in cases where they
would be in western countries. An
attempt is being made now by the
government of Yuan Shih-kai to insti-
tute law courts which will gradually
render unnecessary the placing of au-
tOcratic power in the hands Of the 10
cal governors.
Numerous orders have been issued
recently from the presidents office
designed to reform and reorganize the
judiciary The following is an extract
from one mandate:
There never have been Institutions
for training judicial officers. The
choice Of judges has not been made
with care. and the salaries are small.
Consequently inefficient men are placed
on the bench and corruption prevails.
In extreme cases corruption is praC-
ticed Jointly by the judges and b9rris-
tiers, and the evils thus brought about
are worse than those of the past dy-
nasty Good citizens are usually meek
and feeble while bad characters are
cruel and strong. These two elements
can be made to live peacefully to-
gether only through the operation OF
the law. But If the law fails to protect
the weak from the strong then an
archy ensues. Confucius says that If
justice Is not impartiaIly administered
the people will not be able to distin-
guish what Is right and what Is
wrong, and that If they fail to make
such distinction there can be no stable
government. In Picking and the prov
inces there are some good judges, but
there are many who are inefficient and
unprincipled. who, instead of protect
ing the people. employ their offices
for corrupt practices. L the president,
have inquired into the feelings of the
people. and am painfully aware of their
grievances. It Is my intention thor
oughly to clean up the system and
start afresh."

ApaIachicola, Feb. 21-The fair Just

many floats in line. there were numer.
Gus other features interspersed with
them that gave a most favorable tinge

pleasing features in the many students

acters representing those made famous
by the cartoonists. contributed sport
for all by their grotesque makeup.
But the fair was by far the greatest
success OF all. Contributions from all
over the country came pouring in as
a result of the invitatOnse sent broad
