BY Hold up Men.

Nathan Warshaw "a groceryman at
No. 423 Mangum street, was shot in
the arm when he refused to hold up
his hands at the command of two ne
gro footpads Friday night. Warshaw

shooting five times. The negroes fled

Grady Hospital
The homes of S. p. Ponder and ]. D.

nurglarized late Friday afternoon
while no one was at home. The bur-
glars got a suit of clothing. three
guns. some jewels, a watch, a brace
let and a necklace.
Two boys, who gave their names as

street, and Frank Walker, of East
Hunter street, are under arrest for the
robbery of w. B. Langford, of Can

Langford told the police he came to
Atlanta Friday afternoon and asked
the two boys to show him where
Glenn street was. He says the boys
lured him to the cemetery, where an
other man appeared and posed as a
detective, holding the trio up at the
point of a gun and searching him.
Langford then took the boys to head
quarters, and the police, after hearing
the story, became suspicion Of them

ONE DAYS GRACE
GIVEN INCOME
LAGGARDS

One day of grace has been extend
ed to those fortunate persons liable
to the operation of the income tax,
the returns for which are scheduled TO
be made ION or before March l." A.
o. Blalock, Collector of Internal Rev
enue in Atlanta, has obtained per-
mission from the department at
Washington TO extend the time to in
clude next Monday, March 2, on ac-
count OF the first day of the month
falling on Sunday.
And it will be well for all those
who have not declared their income
for 1918 subject to the tax to do so
on that day." said Mr.. Blalock Satur-
day. The Government is exceeding
ly strict in this matter. On returns
made later than Monday there will be
an addition of so per cent to the tax,
with a fine of from $40 to $1,000 as
an additional possibility. 1 am not
given the least discretion in the mat
ter, and it will be absolutely beyond
my power to help out any delin-
Quents."
Thousands of Returns Expected.
Mr.. Blalock said returns from all
over the State had been coming in
this month with gratifying regular
ity, all the returns being made to the
Atlanta office.
Some days we have received 500
to 1000 returns" he said. while it
is impossible to say just now how
many Georgians will return an in
come subject to the tax, it will GER
tainly be well along in the thou
ands."
Nearly half of one of the ample
floors of the Federal Building has
been set aside for the work of the
rev branch of the Internal Revenue
Department, and large force of
clerks is working every day and
lately part Of the night.
Schedule Set Forth.
The income tax blank for individ-
uals comprises three large pages,
ruled and arranged for all the provi-
sions of the new law. For example,
there is the graded scale for net in
comes of more than $4,000 a year,
adding 1 per cent up to $4,000, 2 per
cent from that figure to $4,000, 8 per
cent from $4,000 to 100000, 4 per
cent from 100000 to $250,000, per
cent from S250,000 to $500, 900, and
per cent for all those plutocrats with
a net income OF more than half a
million annually.
The Atlanta department has been
facilitating the returns from the
State by sending two men to Angus
ia, Savannah, Macon and the larger
towns.

As has been remsrked before, there
is some very pretty jockeying for
I position going on in Georgia political
circles nowadays, and the prelimins :
/ ries yet are far from framed up to
stay put.
The greater degree OF aggressive
ness TO date has been shown. more
over. by the smith Hardwick- Fielder
faction, If one may be permitted to
call it that-it being necessary to
tack on a few titles and SO forth now
and then--with the Slaton- Brown
Howell faction by no means disposed
to sleep over any rights, real or mag
mary, II may have.
II seems fairly well authenticated
thatt some Of the Smith Hardwick-
Fielder faction have not been any too
well pleased with Tom Hsrdwick's g
precipitate "butting in" to the Sena-
torial game.
SIN. Hardwick ever has been one
Of the Kind that butts in whenever
he gets good and ready
He decided, maybe all by himself,
to run for the Senate. after Mr.. Ba-
con had been laid to rest.
In genuinely Hard wicklan style,
therefore. he began to tell folks about
It,
when it got into the newspapers
too, he didn't trim or sidcstep the
situation. He said ne wasn't really
anxious that the lid be kicked off
quite so soon, but that. so long as IT
was off. why-it was off, that was all,
II soon became apparent. however,
that Mr.. Hardwick's announcement
had been seized upon by certain anti
Hoke Smithites as circumstance
tending to show that the senior
United states Senator was undertak
Ing to grab the whole works" in
Georgia. and that Hardwick, being
closer to the Senator than anybody
else, was, OF course, a party to the
plot.
This, apparently. was not doing the
senior Senator any particular good
with the common or garden variety or
voters, and so il was stated that Sem
ator Smith had nothing whatever TO
do with the Hardwick announce
ment, and would have nothing to do
with the junior Senatorship race,
anyway.
Sun people will falkland So
About this time Attorney General
Tom Fielder went to Washington

mors or his candidacy for the ju

Mrs. Bowers ran upstairs, reloaded

wounded negro leaning against the

Mrs. Bowers continued to fire at
the retreating burglars, and one of

the bullets went wild. The plucky

they. "it can not be so. Ah--we have

So now they say Hoke deliber-
ately is dividing his support on the

And now, would he?
No little interest has been evil
cenced In the rumored announcement
that Judge r. T. Daniel, Of the Flint
Circuit, may enter the race for Con-
gress from the Sixth District.
The fact that Judge Daniel has been
considering the race for some time is
well known, and II is the prediction
OF some that he will become a candi-
date. At this date Judge Daniel re-
fuses to state positively what he will
do.
Should Judge Daniel enter the race,
since Colonel j. w. Wise has already
announced and it is expected that
Judge Bartlett will announce. the in
terest in the three -cornered Congress
sional fight will become more intense
than has been known in the Sixth
District for many years
Speaking OF other matters:
Colonel John r. Bolfeulllet, Clerk
Of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, of which the late Senator
Bacon was chairman. has wired Colo
mel w. S. West, of Valdosta, newly
appointed Senator from Georgia, de-
cining the proffer of the secretary

Senator West will have three APP
pointments. He will be made chair
man of one of the nominal commit :
tees, and will have a clerk at $2.240
per annum, a stenographer at 81, 400,
and a messenger at $1,000 The new
Senator will draw his salary from the
date he was commi ssioned by Gov
ernor Slaton.
Colonel Boifeuillet is winding up
his affairs in Washington to return
to Macon.
There is this about the thing:
No matter what Hoke says, he can
not please an anti Hokeite; and no
matter what he says, he can not dis
please a Hokeite
Some people go so far as TO sus-
pect the senior Senator of a deep
seated design to achieve his own re-
election, and not to bother extern
svely over anything else.
They are people who don't get ex-
cited much about things, in the main.
