Mrs. s. O. Wilson's Husband Tells Story Filled With
 Human Interest.
HAD TO SACRIFICE HOME
Friends and Neighbors Called and of- fered Encouragement and
 Sympathy.
' TOME, hope and money gone.

TT A loving husband and little
 daughter tearfully waiting for the dread summons which would take away wife and mother.
 That. in brief, describes the scene enacted one October day, year ago, when E. O. Wilson and his little daughter sat in a darkened room await ing the end they thought near.
 This chapter in the story of the Will son family is one of sorrow and suffering, pathos and human interest. It is one which touched the hearts of friends and caused them to pour out sympathy to sorrowing husband
 Five years ago E. o. Wilson, his wife and child were happy family. They moved to Atlanta from Abbeville, s. C., so Mir. Wilson could accept position on newspaper.
 Mir. Wilson prospered and the family moved into little home of their own. Mrs. Wilson took an interest in church work and in the Woman's Aux Hilary of the Typographical union. Her future looked bright.
 It was in the early part of 1913 that the blow fell But let Mir. Wilson tell the story. He can do it better, be- cause every detail is indelibly stamped upon his memory.
 Mr. Wilson's Story.
 NNfY name is E. O. Wilson and I
 WI live at 197 Bass street, Allan ia, Ga, with my wife and seven-year- old daughter. I have been printer for sixteen years and am a member of the Typographical Union.
 'It is with a sense of gratitude for being permitted to have with me today my dear wife that 1 am voluntarily making this statement. I want every body interested to know that 1t comes from the bottom of my heart.
 During the spring of 1913 when I thought that nothing could impair my happiness, the blow fell. My wife, un- til that time healthy and strong, was stricken with illness. She was weak and nervous and at times had dread full smothering sensations to the point of fainting. She would have fearful headaches, pains In her back and over her kidneys and her joints ached all ;, the time. She got so bad off that she couldn't do her housework and had to take to her bed. She didn't know what 1t was to get good nights sleep.
 'T called doctor who treated her eight weeks and she showed no im- provement. I took the advice of an- other doctor and my wife was operated upon twice and spent r weeks In two hospitals with several weeks of nursing at home between operations.
 "She got weaker and weaker. I was desperate. My savings were gone. I was in debt. So I sacrificed my home.
 "Driven frantic by my thoughts, I called In three Atlanta specialists. This was along In October, 1915. My wife was a shadow of her former self They told me she could not possibly live more than five days.
 'The five days passed and, although she still lived, she grew weaker and weaker and finally I was told she would die within the next few days. She got where she was too weak to talk and could not eat. I looked for the end at any time.

MCULTRIE CITY COURT
URGED BY GRAND Curry

Moultrie, Jan. 30.-Declaring that
maintaining four terms of superior
court annually was too mich of a
drain on the finances Of the county
and asserting that a minor tribunal
could handle fully half of the business
just as well, the grand jury, inst adj
journed, urged the re-establishing of
the city court of Moultrie. Since the
cid city court was killed by an over
whelming vote i've years ago, there
has been big change in sentiment on
the question. This has been brought
about by the increased cost Of protect
len of life and property. 1t has been
necessary to ohld adjourned terms Of
court here, even though the regular
sessions cften extended over period
CT four weeks.

BANKS EXEMPT UNDER
CORPORATION TAX
Charging of Illegal Interest Only
Makes Them Liable.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Democratic
members of Congress who are hear
ing complaints from their constituents
on the revenue measure made neces-
sary by the large provision made for
the nations military security, feel
there is general misapprehension over
the provision of that measure.
The bill allows all corporations an
exemption of $4,000 over and above
their net earnings and, in addition, an
exemption Of per cent on their cap
tai stock. The earnings over and
quove this double exemption will be
axed by the government at the rate
If per cent. per annum.
Thus, a corporation capitalized at
$4,000 will be allowed in arbitrary
exemption of $4,000 and a further eX-
emption of per cent of it's capital
stock, making a total exemption al
owance of $4,000. All net profits over
his sum will be taxed.
congressman point out that bank
ne institutions least of all have cause
or complaint, unless they are violat-
ng usury laws, since the exemptions
authorized will relieve them of the tax
entirely.
