ensue from the American interpreta-
ton of the treaty stipulations would
be so much greater as to be out of
proportion to those which the Ger
man Interpretation would entail for
the United States. For, whereas, the
American Interpretation would mate
rally impede Germany in her con-
duet OF warfare, hardly any particu-
lar disadvantages to American citi-
Zcns would result from the German
interpretation, since they receive full
reparation for any property damage
sustained.
Nevertheless, the German govern
ment, in order to furnish to the
American government evidence of it's
conciliatory attitude, has issued or
ders to the German naval forces not
to destroy American merchantmen
which have loaded conditional con-
traband even when the conditions Of
international law are present, but to
permit them to continue their voyage
unhindered If it is not possible to
take them into port. On the other
hand, it must reserve to itself the
right to destroy vessels carrying alb
solute contraband wherever such de-
struction Is permissible according to
the provisions Of the declaration of

You have noticed the disagreeable
effects Of calomel, that sickening

is no reason for tearing up your sys-

LV-NER-LAX, that wonderful
vegetable compound, is just as use
full as calomel for toning up your
liver and Kidding your system of
stagnating poisons, and it does not
make you feel badly like calomel. 1t
is pleasant to take with no unpleas-

ANOTHER BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
state OF Georgia and Power Company
Cannot Agree.
[ Anderson Mail.)


1t all depends upon future court
| decision whether the State of Geor-
| Sia shall collect taxes from the Gregg
Shoals Power Company, a subsidiary
company OF the Georgia Railway and
Power Company, located on Savannah
river, in Ebert county, on a valua-
/ ton Of $38,965, or on valuation of
$1O,461.
This situation grows out of a dis
pute between the State of Georgia
and the power company as to the To-
cation of the boundary line between
the States of Georgia and South Car
olina.
The Gregg Shoals Power Company
made no returns for taxation, and
Comptroller General w. A. Wright
notified them that he had assessed
their property in Georgia at $4,000.
The company rejected this assessment
and asked that the question of valua-
ton be arbitrated.
Gen. Wright appointed Judge Geo.
Hillycr, Of the tSate Railroad Com
mission, to represent the State, and
The power company named Attorney
l.. NJ. Jordan, OF Atlanta. After seve-
raj conferences the arbitrators reach
ed an agreement.
They agreed that if the boundary
line between the States was where
the State Of Georgia contended, then
the taxable property Of the power
company Gin GeOrgia) should be val
ued at $3S,965. On the other hand
they agreed that if the boundary line
should be where the power company
contends it is, then the valuation
should be but $1O,4G1.
The boundary line question will no
doubt have to be settled in the
courts. The State will demand a
payment of taxes based on its con-
tentiOn, and if the power company
fails to pay on that basis it will issue
| executions against the power COM
pany's property, in which event it is
| expected the power company will
seek an Injunction against the State.
This will take the issue in the courts,
| and the Supreme Court of Georgia
perhaps the Supreme Court Of the
United States, will be called cpon to
pass on the boundary question before
the matter is finally settled and the
State can collect any taxes.
Comptroller General Wright, in fix
ing his original assessment, held that
| part OF the power company's dam and
l3S acres of its property were located
in Georgia. Judge Hillyer has pre-
pared comprehensive brief on the
states contention as to the location
of the boundary line, which will be
! used in the court fight.
Although the Gregg Shoals Power
Company is owned by the Georgia
Railway and Power Company, of At
lanta, it is leased to a South Carolina
concern, and it's transmission lines
run from the plant in Ebert county
across the Savannah river to AnGer-
son.
