Fl COUNTIES HOLDING
100000 IN TREASURY
DELINQUENTS ARE PREVENTING
THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE
STATES AUTO TAX MONEY.
THEIR REPORTS ARE MISSING

Question of the COnstitutiOnality of
the License Has Been Raised, and
Will Probably Have to Be Settled
BY the Courts.
ATLANTA.-Dela on the part of
twenty-one Georgia counties in send
ing in detailed data as to rural mail
route mileage is holding up approx
mately one hundred thousand dol
lars, waiting in the treasury for dis
tribution to the counties for road
purposes.
The delinquents now are Baker,
Banks, Barlow, Bryan, Chattooga,
Clayton, Clinch, Douglas, Echols,
Fayette, Harris, Houston, Irwin,
Madison, Meriwether, Quitman,
Rockdale, Screven, Walker and
Worth.
Secretary of State Cook daily re
ceives letters from county officials
urging that such part of the funds
as Qu0 lIOul the duIO ldA US OSlI' lie
can make no distribution of the mon
ey until the data is in hand from ev-
cry county in the state, so is may be
understood that the trouble rests
with the counties above enumerated.
Col Cook has received a commu-
nicatin from Representative Sam
Darlington, of Richmond, protesting
the distribution of the fund for the
purposes specified in the act, and set
ting up that the proposed use of the
money is unconstitutional.
After enumerating the constitu-
tional powers of taxation and the
purposes for which taxes may be lev
led and collected Mr.. Darlington says
that it is quite clear that the levy
cannot be made for roads, as such
right belongs to the individual coun-
ties. He points out that the cost of
the metal tags is only s cents, and
that a charge of IS is made for them.
1t is possible that before the mat
ter is determined fight will be made
in the courts to prevent the distri-
button of the fund to the counties for
the road fund.

Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up Of a
combination OF pure vegetable oils IS
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles. The remedy, which is said
TO have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry,
was introduced into this country by
George H. Mayr, a leading Chicago
druggist, who cured himself Of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use Those who have used it say the
first dose IS sufficient to convince any one
Of its remarkable merit, and that within
twenty-four hours the sufferer feels like
a new person. This medicine, which
has become known as Mayr's Wonderful
Stomach Remedy, is now sold by first
class druggists everywhere, 1t is now

Charles WeidIer Addresses
Members of 7. w. C. A. on
Political Situation Of Indiana
Needs New Constitution.

Addressing a small company Of wo-
men at the Y. w. c. A. Friday even
ing in the usual Friday evening parlor
talk. Charles Eeidler gave an interest
ing and comprehensive discussion Of
the political situation in Indiana, en-
phasizing particularly the need OF
new constitution in Indiana.
Mr.. Weidler earnestly arraigned the
political element which has supported
and encouraged the practice OF unlaw-
ful traffic III liquor. deplOring the fact
that the recent election failed 70 show
more promising outlook for the
framing OF new constitution for the
state, the need of which has become
more and more apparent.
Although he condemned the liquor
interests. Mr.. Weidler considered the
opposite phase OF the question, as
sorting that il is more necessary that
society take men from saloons than
that the saloons be taken from men.
He said, so long as no wholesome
means Of recreation is provided, and
so long as unjust systems Of trade
necessitate the enslaving OF one class
10 the enlightenment of another, it is
useless TO attempt to rid the nation of
saloons.
He pointed out clearly the hopeless
ness OF the environment in which a
particular type OF people is obliged TO
live, particularly the man OF the So
called lower and uneducated class,
whose wages are insufficient for the
keeping OF a family, and the tendency
to recklessness in his despair This
condition might be relieved, said Mr.
Weidler, not through the adjustment
Of the saloon which offers him oppor-
tunity for temporary escape, but
through the doing away Of the system
which condemns him to veritable
slavery.
Among other things which are in
demand now If the laboring man is
to be given his rights. is the working
mems compensation act which has al
ready been established in several
states. The laborer is protected in
this manner, and If disabled through
accident is paid an ample sum to de-
tray his expenses through his illness,
Or in the case of mis- death, his widow
Is taken care Of generously.
Mr.. Weidler stated that there is also
