LIABILITY OF DEALERS.
Tobacco Men Must File Inventories
 and Single Men Statements.

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-Every dealer who carries in stock a box of cigars or other tobacco goods for sale must file sworn inventory of the amount of goods on hand on October 3, even if the supply is below the taxable amount.
 Word to the effect was received in the office of the internal revenue de- partment here today, in a telegram from the department headquarters at Washington. The local officials of the department were not advised form erly regarding the liability of deal CTS whose stock was exempted from taxation.
 After a careful study of the new law the department officers here are convinced that married men whose in- come is less than $2,0OO per year will not have to file statement as is re- quired of all single men earning $1000 or more. If the married men earn $2OOO and not more they do not have to pay a tax.
 An additional $20O per annum is also exempted for each minor child dependent upon the parents for sup pOfC. It was dt 1lISC UclicNcu ciiot married men earning 5000 or more would have to file statements, al though they would not be liable to a tax until the income exceeded $2OOO per annum.
 The time for filing inventories re. garding the stock of liquor on hand on October expeired Tuesday even ing. According to R. M. Warner chief deputy to Collector Jack Walker the office has received inventories from the few wholesale drug concerns in the state who are known to be liable to the tax. Although the office has not checked up the statements, it is believed that no dealers are delin- ouent. MT. Walker is still in Washing ton in conference with the revenue de partment officials.

WASTE OF COTTON SEED.

There is no greater avoidable waste in the South than that of cotton seed rotting at gins and oil mills, accord ing to W. c. Hudson, of Alexandria, La, former county agent, who says this waste is due to careless hand ling, particularly at the oil mills.
 He then tells how the waste may be avoided by having the cotton dry when it is ginned and by having dri- CTS at the mills to dry the seed, or ,ty having it spread out carefully. Ordinarily this seed yields about 40 gallons of oil to the ton of soed, Tut if the seed is allowed to rot the oil is inferior and fit only for soap making. The oil meal is also of a low grade. and this means great waste of the good foodstuff in cot ton seed-40 gallons of oil and ovel 1000 pounds of meal.

THOSE SO-CALLED "PICKETS."

President Wilson has sent many a classic In the way of literature to the Scrap Book, and everything he writes or dictates is deserving of rroni. rent place in the book which carries the history of the country for future generations to read. The latus.s atidi- tiOn from his facile pen or typewriter. whichever the case may be, was dated Washington, October 13, 1917, and was addressed to Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt, president of the National Woman's Suffrage association, which shows that the action of the "so-call- ed pickets," did not leave sore ia his heart.
 Here is what he wrote, and it should be clipped out and pasted in the center of the page of your Scrap Book:
 My Dear Mrs. Catt-,May l not eX press to you my very deer interest in the campaign in New York for the adoption of woman suffrage and may ! not say that hope no voter will be influenced in his decision with re gard to the great matter by anything the so,called pickets may have done here in Washington? However justly they may have laid themselves open to serious criticism, tfeir action rep resents, am sure, so small a frac' tion of the women of the country wh1 are urging the adoption of woman sui frage that it would be most unfair and argue narrow view, to allow their actions to prejudice the cause itself. am very anxious to see the 5 great state of New York set grea example in this matter. Cordially and sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON,

GOOD MEAT WASTED ON HIDES.

According to reports received by the meat-marketing department of the bureau of markets, United States de- partment of agriculture. a Washing ton dealer states that nine steer hides purchased by him carried 79 pounds of waste meat. A Detroit dealer re- ports that an average og six pounds of waste meat was found on 40 COW and steer hides received at his plant, 2 177 pounds of waste meat from hides, or enough to supply low grade meat to about 5000 people for one day. Faulty butcherins, in addition to causing loss of the food value of the meat which is wasted, results in considerable loss of edible fats which remains on the hides.

Question Asked, Will the Pres
ent Jury FOLLOW Recommen-
datiOns of Commissioners.
AS TO ABOLISHING OFFICES
County Fathers Tave Asked
That the City Court OF Bruins
wick and Office OF County
Treasurer be Abolished.

The present grand jury of Glynn
county is being watched as to its ac-
ton on the recent recommendation of
the county commissioners that the
city court of Brunswick and the of
flee OF treasurer OF Glynn county be
abolished at the coming session of
the Georgia Legislature 1t will be
remembered that Several grand juries
have made recommendation which
have not received the attention of the
representatives of Glynn county in
the legislature. Judge Highsmith in
structed the grand jury Monday to
ascertain why these recommendations
had not been followed; just who was
responsible for the utter disregard OF
the body which is entrusted with both
civil and criminal sides of the affairs
of the county, and Judge Highsmitn
thinks many recommendations made
in Glynn county are good ones. and
should have taken the course the jury
intended.
1t is a well known fact that many
counties in Georgia have abolished
the Office of county treasurer, as well
as city courts, and this may be the
case here. Many are of the opinion
chat the present officers OF the city
court and treasurer should be allow
ed to serve the terms for which they
were elected and then let the aboli.
ton come, while others say it is an
unnecessary expense with the treas
urer and sinking fund with the lat
ter. Any talk of abolishing the Of
fees of Justice Of the peace here is
what may be termed random" talk.
These offices are a necessity unless
some inferior court is established to
take their places. In large counties
where courts of the higher kind are
in session almost continually, it may
work, but certainly not in Brunswick.
In the meantime, the people are
wondering just what the present
grand jury will do in the city court
and treasurer matter.

fire had gained such headway that
it was impossible to save the home.
