LARGE AMOUNT OF BOOZE
STILL AT POLICE OFFICE

People of Columbus will remem-
Der that several months ago the local
police took in charge several trunks
of booze, which arrived at the M.
and o. depot from Carlo, Ill. What
has become of all of that booze? This
question has been asked by hundreds
of people the past few weeks. For
the benefit Of those who are really
anxious to find out where that whis-
key went to, and in whose possession
it is in the Commercial will advise
them TO make a visit to the city hall,
and Chief of Police John A. Morton
will gladly show them the booze that
was seized The whiskey is still in
the hands of the police, and as yet the
owner has not been found.
A similar case to the one above oc-
Cured in Memphis last week, when
detectives in that city put another
stopper in the leak of the lid" as the
Commercial Appeal says, and five
trunks filled with booze amounting
to $4,000 were seized. 1t is said that
bootleggers in Memphis attempted to
use one of the hotels as a clearing
house.

The amount of the loan is $3,000,-
100000 and with this sum as basis
Lowndes county's allotment would
be S250,000, but officials of the gov
ernment expect the fund to be over

as the amount which they hope to Sc
cure, and if the coveted goal is
reached the proportionate share of
Lowndes county will be $4l5,000.

EXPENSES OF SMOKERS
AND CHEWERS TO
BE HEAVIER.
PRICES ADVANCE
Cigars, Cigarettes and Chew
ing Tobacco Will All be
Higher.

The war revenue bill recently
enacted by Congress makes it incum-
bent upon merchants throughout the
country to pay a "floor tex" en- all
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes in
stock when the law becomes effective,
and l.. A. Wyatt, a deputy from the
office of John d. Mcneil, Internal
revenue collector for Alabama and
Mississippi, with headquarters in Bir-
has been in the city the
past few days checking over the
stocks Of lo(al merchants with the
view of levying the proper taxes
against them.
Under the provisions of the bill,
900 cigars, 1000 cigarettes and
100 pounds Of tobacco are exempt
from taxation, but many local mer-
chants have stocks exceeding the
merchandise exempted, and will
therefore be required to hand over a
considerable sum to the government.
While merchants will be compelled
to pay to Uncle Sam the tribute pro-
vided for in the bill, it is really the
consumers who will be forced to bear
tht burden of the tax, as dealers are
preparing to advance the retail prices
on articles coming under the pro-
visions of the war revenue bill. 1t
is said that cigars will be advanced
from one to two cents each, while
a corresponding advance will take
place in the prices of cigarettes and
tobacco.
