and, receiving no response, regarded
with suspicion the object OF her solicit

MAKE STATE CONVENTION
AT DAWSON NOTABLE.

Extensive preparations are being
made by the local W. C. 7. U. for
the entertainment of the state con-
vention, which will come to Dawson
October 10th. The occasion will be
one of the most interesting and i'm
portant in the history of the organ
ization, and a large number of dele
gates are expected. 1t will be known
as the "Home Products" convention,
and the program worked out along
that line will be one to hold the in
terest of delegates and visitors
throughout the session.
The speakers, with one exception,
will be Georgia products. There will
be an evening address by Mrs. Ella
A. Boole, national vice president,
one of the most brilliant and force
full of the nations temperance work
ers.
The entire county is cooperating
splendidly with the ambition to make
the 1917 rally of temperance forces
the best ever.
1t is the purpose of the local work
ers to issue a special edition of The
News at an early date, and each
town and community will have part
in making this a creditable enter
prise The full program of the con-
vention, with its many pleasing feat
ures, will be given in the Booster
edition.

TAX COLLECTORS
MUST Be STRICTER
UNDER NEW LAW MUST ISSUE
Fl FAS ON DECEMBER 10Th.
AND CHARGE INTEREST
They're putting the screws tighte

They're putting the screws tighter
on the taxpayer.
Mr.. j. o. Fussel, the clever tax
collector of Terrell, has received
from w: A. Wright, the controller
general, copies of law passed by
the legislature at its last session, and
instructions to rigidly adhere to it.
The new law requires the payment
of interest by delinquent taxpayers
from the goth of December; requires
tax collectors to make monthly re-
ports of delinquent taxpayers, and
the amount of interest collected from
the delinquents.
The tax collectors are required to
make final settlement with the state
and county within four months af-
ter the goth of December. The tax
collector forfeits< one-fourth of his
commission in case he fails to make
final settlement as specified.
The failure of any tax collector to
carry out the provisions of the act
will constitute malpractice in office,
and conviction will subject the of
fender to removal from office.

AN ORDER is RECEIVED
FOR RATTLESNAKE BUTTONS
Merchant Who Got 1t Would Like to
Turn 1t Over to Some One
Else to Be Filled.

We have known all the while that
Terrell county was far-famed for di-
versified products, but a rather sur
prising request has come to a we'll
known shoe dealer. 1t is nothing less
than an offer to buy rattlesnake but
tons, the same to be shipped where
they are something of a curiosity.
The order has not yet been filled and
is not likely to be if the aforesaid
merchant is expected to bag the rep
tiles. Fact is, nobody is anxious for
that industry to thrive in these parts.
We would prefer to have a st. Pat
rick come this way and put the whole
tribe out of business.

JURY FINDS IN FAVOR OF
CLAIMANT OF WHISKY BOAT
Interesting Case Disposed of In Quit
man Superior Court.

In Quitman superior court last
week the disposal of the boat loaded
with whisky captured in the Chatta-
hoochee river near Georgetown a few
months ago was of general interest.
The jury found a verdict in favor
of the claimant of the boat, so it will
not be confscated. The man named
Smith, who was engineer on the boat
and captured, was convicted. Judge
Worrill sentenced him to the peniten-
tiary for one year, but deducted
from his term the time he has been
in jail, about five months. The man
said to be the owner of the whisky,
but who escaped when the boat was
seized, and later arrested in Alabama
and released on bond of $500. He
failed to appear for trial.

Someone has advanced the
opinion that the letter "e" is the
most unfortunate character in
the English alphabet, because it
is always out of cash, forever in
debt, never out of danger, and in
hell all the time.
But we call his attention to
the fact that "e"is never in war
and always in peace. 1t is the
beginning of existence, the com
mencement of ease and the end
of trouble. Without it there
would be no meat, no life, and
no heaven. 1t is the center OF
