ALL DOUBT CONE
ABOUT NEW TAX

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 21.-Since the
state supreme court has upheld the
constitutionality of the Slaton inheri-
lance law all doubt is removed as to
the continuance of this source of rev.
eaue. Many have expressed the belief
that the receipts from tn inheritance
tax will make up for the loss of rev.
enue caused by the adjustment of
liuquor-selling clubs and near beer
saloons.
The law was prepared and passed
On tie urgent recommendation of Hon.
John NJ. Slaton during his term as

There were thirty prisoners in the

Telephone to Leesburg.

The press dispatches carry the ac-
count that telephone wires leading out
Of Sylvester were cut by the mob who
f0rcibly took the negroes from the
Worth county Jail.
The Times-Recorder was in direct
communication with Leesburg from
the time that the first information
came that the Sylvester Jail had been
ztormed. Leesburg was in ignorance
OF what was going on, although at II
Oicl0ck the Times-Recorder gave the
Information that the mob was headed
towards Leesburg.
1t is supposed that the crowd passed
around Leesburg, and if they did pass
through no attention was attracted.
The little city was asleep and it was
impossible to get into communication
with any of the authorities until Fri
day morning, when the news of the
Bnching began to spread.
