Tax Collectors Ask For Instructions


Atlanta.-County tax collectors of
several Georgia counties from which
portions were taken to create new
counties have asked the comptroller
general to advise them whether they
get the taxes for 1918 or whether the
taxes shall go to the new counties,
In reply to this inquiry. Comptroller
General Wright has cited the law pro-
viding that the taxes shall be paid
to the old county for, the year in
which the new county was created
Thus Berrien county, for example,
will collect the 1918 taxes ON proper
ty situated in that portion of the
county which was taken off to create
Cook county.

Reverse Ruling On Liquor Cars Now

Reverse Ruling On Liquor Cars Now
Atlanta United States Circuit
Court of Appeals has just handed
down a decision reversing a recent
ruling of Judge w. T. Newman, of
the United States District Court, and
holding that automobiles or other We
hicles and all equipment used in the
transportation and sale of blockade
whiskey are subject to forfeiture. The
decision was concurred in by Justices
Sheppard and Bats, Justice Walker
dissenting. Judge Newman had held
that vehicles used in transporting il
licit whiskey could not be contiscated
under forfeiture proceedings unless it
could be proved that title to such We
hicIes was held by the persons oper-
ating them. The Court of Appeals
holds that action in such cases is
against the vehicle itself and not
against the ownership.

such people-weak, ailing, tired. worn

gone-listless and Indifferent to their sur
roundings-often with aches and pains
all over the body-woefully lacking In
physical power and mental vigor-pale,
emaciated-just dragging out weary
existence. Nine out of every ten OF
these people are unconscious victims OF
acid-stomach.

who are subject to attacks of indigestion
and biliousness; who are nervous, mel

from rheumatism, lumbago or sciat1ca
yes, even many of those who have

if tho trouble is traced to its source, It
will often be found to be just acid-stom-
