Judge W. P. Fleming Of the Ordt-
narys Office has suggestion for cor
porations of Cordele, business con-
Germs and individuals who are subject
to- pay special license tax. He wants
to tell them that the books for reg
istration for conducting such business
that comes under the head of special
license tax are now open in his Of
fee.
The law requires that all subject to
the tax shall register with the ordi-
nary and pay registration fee and then
pay the special license to the tax col
lector before he can engage in or con-
tinue in the line of business on which
he is subject to the special tax. Tax
Collector w. ]. Musselwhite says he
Is ready to do his part and will gladly
give receipts to any desiring same for
special tax.
When the law requiring the pay
ment of special license on certain
lines of business was enacted several
years ago, those subject to pay were
at first reasonably prompt, but some
are now inclined to be delinquent. The
Crisp county grand jury at its last
session, called the special attention
of the ordinary to this law and to the
necessity of seeing that 1t was en-
forced as far as registering with the
ordinary before paying the tax to the
collector.

The tenants would not have this as the Wee Lady had been good to them, but she told them to receive the new master kindly, and prepared to leave the castle.
