WILL GEORGIA LOSE
A BIC REVENUE NOW

ATLANTA, Ca. Sept. 30.-Are Geor-
gians going to vote to amend their
state constitution so as to exempt
Georgia-owned ships, engaged in for
eign commerce, from state taxation?
In the coming general election a
constitutional amendment to this eff
feet will be submitted to the voters of
the state, along with other constitu-
tional amendments passed by the last
Legislature, and if Georgians approve
the ship exemption amendment, they
might as well prepare to say good
bye to a source of public revenue
which may in later years develop into
one of the largest in the state, for the
reason that the foreign commerce Of
the United States is growing by leaps
ard bounds, and Georgia ports are
continually increasing in volume and
value of exports.
The amendment proposes to exempt
from taxation any ships engaged in
foreign commerce which may be own
ed by Georgia citizens or a Georgia
corporation. The amendment passed
the legislature on the theory that no
body but Georgia citizens would be
exempt, and the point was never rails
ed that citizens of other states could
come to Georgia and establish their
domiciles in order to obtain the same
exemption, both in this and all other
states, of their vessels engaged in for
eign commerce.
For example; The biggest ship
owning corporation in New York
could obtain a charter under the laws
Of Georgia, establish its domicile in
this state, operate its ships from any
and all ports In the United States, and
escape taxation both in Georgia and
all oeber states.
Thu United States government has
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-10-01

constantly and persistently refused to
grant ship subsidies, but the state of
Georgia will be granting mammoth
subsidy, of the most pernicious form,
should the proposed constitutional
amendment become effective by ratifi-
cation at the polls. Little has been
said or written about the amendment,
but it is one that deserves careful at
tention.

DORSEY SAYS He IS
JUST PLAIN CITIZEN

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 30. Hugh M.
Iorsey, governor-nominate of Geor-
gia, says he will be just plain, private
citizen until his Inauguration takes
place in June. The statement which
he issued today says:
While l appreciate all these invita-
tons, | would not be doing justice to
myself if 1 undertook to plunge into
the whirlpool of participating in all
the functions to which I am being in
vited, and more than that, it would
not be doing justice to the present
governor of the state. | will not be
governor until June, and in the mean
time the present chief executive, Gov
ernor Harris, is the official representa-
tive of the state in all public matters.
Until next June 1 am simply pri-
vate citizen, and while it will be a
pleasure for me to meet all reasonable
expectations in the matter of public
functions after am governor, l will
pursue the policy of keeping out of
the lime-light between now and then.
Il am sure that those who have been
kind enough to invite me will, upon a
moments reflection, agree with the
wisdom and justice of this position. 4"

Dorsey's failure to attend the Wood

OGLETH0RPE LADY

MOULTRIE, Ca, Sept. 3O.-"This is
to certify that l am of good standing /;
l am 50 years old, looking for a wo-
man from the age of 20 to 40 years
that would suit me for wife; no
one need answer merely for pastime.
Address H. NJ. Huey, Meultrie, Ca,
Route No. g."
That's the way the advertisement
read when it appeared in the Moultrie
Observer about month ago. It
brought results, too. For Mr. Huey rs
married and very happy. He is also
strong believer in the efficiency of
advertising in aiding one to enter the
conjugal state. The bride is, or rath-
err was, Miss Cora Walters, rs years
old, of Oglethorpe, Ga.
Mr.. Huey's advertisement brought
many answers. Fifteen came on the
first mail and in the lot was a letter
from Miss Walters. From the moment
he tore this missive open, Mr.. Huey
says that he was impressed, so he laid
it aside to be answered first. The
next day and the next and the next,
big patches of letters from anxious
applicants came to Mr.. Huey. All told
he heard from nearly hundred ladies'
who were willing to take shot at
married life.
Now, you can tell by reading Mr..
Huey's advertisement that he is what
might reasonably be called a serious
man. Selecting a wife, too, is a more
Or less serious undertaking, so he
read and carefully considered the ap-
plications Of all of those who signifed
that they were willing to be led
blushingly to the altar, and his ro-
nance with Miss Walters naturally
moved little slow during the first
days of its inception. But soon Mr..
Huey by applying the eliminating pro-
cess trimmed down the number of
prospects" to such an extent that he
was able to write more frequently to
the Oglethorpe lady. So it came to
pass that they agreed to marry.
This was simple after Mr.. Huey de-
cided who he wanted to take. So he

three days ago. married and came

WAR CHANGES HABITS
OF MANY LONDONERS

LONDON, Sept 29-Among the
many interesting changes that the war
is BRINGING in the habits of Londoners
is that the strong prejudice against
clogs among the poor in some parts of
the metropolis is giving way before
necessity The fact acceltuates fur
Their the revolution in London's social
habits, and it is due to the great in
crease in the cost of boots and shoes.
Clogs are dearer, too, but by only a
fraction of the cost of other footwear.
The absolute refusal heretofore of
the poor to wear clogs as rejecting
their feeling that they were a sign of a
disgraceful level of poverty or as the
stigma of charity has not until now
been overcome even by their free dis
LrlDuJlOn TO Jne cnllufen III Ine SCHOOLS
by charitable organizations. Indeed
the most ancient and gaping pair of
shoes picked from dust heap has been
preferred to the best pair of clogs.
There are one or two clog-shops in
London, one of which is commencing
them to the populace as Boots with
wooden soles." Though their trade is
small it is increasing now. Large kuan-
titles of clogs are being turned out by
firms in London, but almost exclusively
for the country o. colonial trade. One
large factory here is turning out large
quantities Of clogs for France, this
being captured trade from the Ger
mans.

Al BANY PLANS BIC
TIME FOR OPENING

An event of more than ordinary in
terest to the people of southwest eGor-
gia will be the opening on the evening
of October 4th, of Albany's magnii-
cent auditorium-theatre, which is just
being completed at a cost of $4,000.
This superb structure, which will fill
long felt want in southern Georgia,
is the most beautiful, convenient and
commodious building of it's kind south
of Atlanta, and at the same time is
without doubt the safest public build
ing in the entire state.
1t is the only theatre IN Georgia that
is equipped throughout with auto
matte sprinkler system, rendering fire
an absolute impossibility. Numerous
exits, about thirty in all, are provided
throughout the building, reducing to a
minimum the danger from panic. Ev-
cry door is self-closing, swins to the
outside, and is operated by panic
bolts" so that the weight of one per-
sens body instantly loosens the
catch and swings the door open. The
heating and ventilating systems are the
most modern, being designed especially
for buildings of this kind and the
scenery was hand-painted expressly
for this structure is one of the lead
ing studios of America. People of
southwest Georgia will now have the
opportunity of witnessing in this SPLEEN
did theatre the very best plays that
come south. Albany's auditorium can
easily accommodate any troupe that
shows in Atlanta, and it is expected
that citizens of this and neighboring
cities will not be slow to take advant-
age of the opportunities offered them
Big Show to Omen.
Albany is preparing for gala oc-
casion on opening night. She invites
and expects all of her neighbors to
come and help celebrate the occasion.
The theatre will open with "The Lilac
Domino" a splendid musical comedy.

les in Georgia, Atlanta and Albany. It
) one of the biggest and best in the
country and was chosen after careful
investigation by the committee in
charge of the opening The cast in
cludes some of the foremost singers in
America and the chorus of beautiful
girls is conceded to be one of the Won
ders of the season,

neighbors to be present on the occa-
sion of the opening, first to see one of
