upon first arising and ate a hearty
breakfast, though. later complained of
q slight pain. He took some medicine
in the presence of members of the fam
lily who say that it had the appearance
Of blue mass. However, some of the
relatives are inclined to believe that
Mr.. Taylor made a mistake and took
a poisonous medicine Heart failure
may have been the cause of his death.
After taking the medicine he lay
down. and members of the family
thought that he was asleep When
they attempted to wake him to go to
the home Of Mr.. Weldon, they found
him dead. He is slTvided by wild
CIV and one son, j. T. Taylor, of near
Atlanta, whose wife and children were
spending some time with his parents.

GREENWOOD SHOWS ARE
MAKING GOOD NAME

The Greenwood Shows, advertising
Chero-Cola. are in Cordele this week.
Monday morning the attraction pitch
ed its tents in the baseball park and
have been showing to crowds that
have well taken up the seating capac-
ity. estimated at 5000. There are six
ty-fve people in the Greenwood roper
toire and a better allround show has
never been to Cordele. The amuse-
ment which they afford is clean and
wholesome and their bills are bright
and breezy, full of wit and humor,
and the variety which they furnish
between singing, dancing impersonat-
ing and musical numbers, is a chief
feature.
Mr.. Greenwood on the opening night
made the liberal offer that he would
give the entire proceeds of one per
Torrance to any worthy institution
or dependant family, and the charity
ward at the local sanitOrium has been
called to his attention. In accordance
with his promise the entire proceeds
from the matinee to be held Friday
afternoon, the door receipts and profit
from the sale of Chero-Cola, candies,
etc. included, will go to the aid of
this institution.

AUTO MECHANIC
WINS HIS BRIDE
ARAB CITIZEN TAKES CHANCES
IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND
BRINGS BACK HAPPY BRIDE.

A. d. Johnson, a we'll known auto
mobile mechanic of Arab, has joined
the ranks of the benedicts, and his
bride is as happy a little woman as
you will meet in months travels. She
was formerly Miss BERTHE Bell, of
Lawrenceyille, s. c., but now she likes
the name of Johnson better
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson were married
last Friday at Elberton, where the
bride had been visiting her sister, Mrs.
Burch. The groom made the trip
there by automobile, accompanied by
w, l.. Patterson, of Arab, and though
the young lady's father opposed be-
cause she was the only daughter left
ut home, and was then at the railway
station with her to carry her back to
LawrenceVille with him, the young
couple outwitted him, jumped into
IN auto and hurried to the court
house where the Ordinary performed
he nuptial rites.
And so they learned, like many 9th,
ars before them, thai true love never
.uns smoothly. Now they have re-
aeived the parental forgiveness and
blessings of the father, and there's
nothing between them and a happy
life.
They returned Monday afternoon
and are making their home at Arab.

WILKES WALKER BY BROTHER

Fitzgerald, Sept. 1.-two quars of
whiskey received Saturday afternoon
by express by Jim Walker, farmer
living about five miles west of the city,
was the unmistakable cause which
led Jim to attack and cut his brother,
Wilkes Walker, who was paying him
a short visit, with fatal results.
Jim and Wilkes were in the city
Saturday afternoon and both left the
city together for Jim's home. During
the evening Jim, having become Graz
ed with the liquor in the presence OF
his family, Wilkes attempted to quiet
him when Jim cut him in the bowels
and severely slashed him in the arm
Wilkes, bleeding from his wounds, left
for another brothers farm nearby,
but fell by the wayside and lay on the
ground until some neighbors, in pass
ing. found him in an unconscious con-
dition.
Drs. Luks and Russell were tele-
phoned for and on arrival found the
man in such condition that it was
thought best to take him to the SAM
tarium in the city. Walker succumb-
ed to his wounds about 10 o'clock this
morning.
Jim Walker was placed in jail Sun
day awaiting the result of the cutting,
and will now be kept until the next

COUNTY TAX Rate
FIXED BY BOARD
ONE DOLLAR MORE ADDED FOR
COUNTY CHOOLS-STATE TAX
GOES FULL LIMIT.

Crisp county's tax rate for state and
county taxes has been set at II 1-2mills
or $1750 on the thousand, for prop
erty outside the city limits and IA IL
Smills, or $1450 on the thousand, for
property within the city limits. The
difference is caused by a levy of SO on
the thousand outside the city for the
maintenance of the county schools.
The levy for school purposes was
increased from So to So on the thous-
and upon the recommendation of the
county board of education, the in
crease being formally placed in effect
by an order from the board of county
commissioners. The law on this point
states that the county commissioners
or ordinary shall levy the rate in &C
cordance with the recommendation of
the school board.
With school buildings to construct
in different sections of the county, adj
ditional teachers to pay and other i'm
provements to make, together with
the fact that the levy of two mills last
year was insufficient to meet operating
expense of the schools, the board came
to the conclusion reluctantly that the
2-mill levy was by no means common
surate with the needs.
Includede in the levy for all pur-
poses is the usual 8 IL mills for the
county. The levy for the state this
year is mills, having been increased
by Comptroller General Wright from
41-2 mills. The 5-mill levy is the limit
under the state constitution.
Tax Collector W. j. Musselwhite
will have his books ready in few
days for the purpose of receivingtaXes
He will then announce his rounds over
the county Mr.. Musselwhite states
that he has never seen the tax payers
quite so ready to meet this obligation.
Many have been to him states the col
lector, desiring to pay their taxes.

faction to the church membership to

been paid for in full.
Or behalf of the building commit
tee, ]. w. Cannon made a report that
the church building debt had been
paid in full, and following B. H. Pal
mer spoke in words of high common
dation of the success of the campaign.

gested that the service be made one
of mutual congratulation among the
members of the congregation, and the
happy good feeling that was every
where prevalent marked the morning
services as an event rare in church
history

pepsin that acts on the bowels in an
easy. natural way, and regulates the ac-
ton of this most important function.
Nearly all the sickness to which chill
dren are subject is traceable to bowel
inaction. and a mild, dependable laxa-

sin should have place in every family
medicine chest. 1t is pleasant to the
