FINE OLD GENTLEMAN
CALLED TO HIS REWARD

The news was received here last
Friday that Mr.. George Douglas,
of this county, aged eighty years,
had died at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. Julia West at Rich
mond. Mr. Douglas for many years
lived in the Levee neighborhood of
this county and the news of his
death was received with sincere
sorrow by a large circle of friends.
He had gone to Richmond to visit
his daughter and was suddenly
stricken. He was good clean
Christian gentleman, having been a
member of the Baptist church for
many years. To man, woman or
child he always extended a cordial
greeting and lent a ray of light to
brighten their pathway in the jour
ney through life. By his upright
living he had the respect and con-
fidence of everyone. Seldom do we
appreciate a mans true worth un-
til he is taken from us but he lived
a life that it would be well for
many of us to emulate. He is sur
vived by four sons, T. j., c. C. and
jeff, of this county, and Joe
Douglas, of jefferson county, and
four daughters, Mrs. Simpson GAR
rett, of this county; Mrs. George
Garrett, of Illinois. and Mesdames
Julia and Joe West, of Madison
county.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Douglas residence by Rev.
j. S. Wilson, of this city.
To the bereaved family the Ad-
vocate extends sympathy.

SHAPING Up
WAR TAX BILL
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
HAS AGREED On CHANGES
FROM HOUSE MEASURE.
CONSIDERS POSTAGE RATE
The Committee To-day Had Cp for
Consideration Taxes ON Newspa-
pers By Increased Second
Class Postal Rates.

WASHINGTON. May 31.-Having
determined upon most OF the basic
changes in the $500, 100000 war
tax bill as passed by the house the
senate finance committee took up
the publication tax ,oday.
Postmaster General Burleson held
q long conference with Senator Sim
mons, chairman Of the committee,
yesterday and urged flat increase
in second class postal riNes To cor
respond to increases in the first class
rates. Burleson does not believe
the house zone system of increasing
taxes on publications is fair to the
publishers. He thinks gradual in
crease in second class rates from
year to year could be satisfactorily
met by the publishers.
The committee has agreed to linn
it the sum to be raised by taxes to
slightly less than s1,500,00o. AS
the bill now stands in the committee
most of the taxes would come from
excess profits. liquor, tobacco, spe-
cial consumption and stamp taxes,
and increases in the income tax.
Committee sentiment is strongly In
favor of retaining the double tax
adopted by the house on distilled
spirits and beer. 1t would act, 1t IS
believed, both as Il revenue meas
ure and as an important war prohi-
bition bill.
