not be very much, considering their

INFORMATION WILL BE GIVEN
TO PAYERS OF INCOME TAX
Government Will Send Agents Into
Every County. January and Feb
ruary Time to Get Busy.

That the government has made
plans to send income tax agents into
every county of the state to assist
Georgians to make proper return,
and thereby avoid the payment of
the penalty of failure to do so, is
the announcement made by A. 0.
Blalock, collector for this state.
According to this, it will not be
necessary for persons subject to the
income tax provisions to figure out
their tax. The governments agent
will do this, but he will not hunt up
those subject to the tax. He will fur
nlsh all assistance possible, but he
must be sought.
Postmasters, bankers and newspa-
pers will tell when the agent will be
around. Returns for 1917 must be
made between Jan. 1 and March |,
1918. Thereafter the penalty is eff
fective and information from the col
lector's office would indicate that
there will be no exceptions in en-
forcing the penalty to the letter of
the Law. Ignorance of the law will
be no excuse, and persons subject
to the tax must not wait for blanks,
but should send for them.

The Last Stronghold.

When Hebron fell the road to Je-
rusalem from the south was clear
for the British troops. It's last con
queror was the great Saladin, who
captured the city after an eight days
siege, in 1887, effecting a breach in
the northeast wall and compelling
q surrender, and to his credit let it
bes recorded that he fought the fight
without frightfulness and dealt with
the conquered in a spirit of humani-
ty. He spared the lives of all in the
city and laid no rude hand upon any
Of its sacred places.
But today Jerusalem is a we'll for
titled city and was in a position to
make stubborn defense, and the
Mount of Olives was drenched with
blood and Gethsemane witnessed an
other agony.
