Aged Kinsman of Robert E. Lee
Died Sunday at Sandersville

Judge Patrick Taliafero, of San
dersville, Familiarity known to his
many friends as "Dick," is the pa
triarch Of his community around
whom centers the love and admira-
ton Of everyone, died Sunday morn
whom he was bound by ties of blood
as well as by that devotion given
by all wearers of the gray to the
great southern leader. His mother
and the mother of Robert E. Lee
were cousins. and the four lines of
Lee family. He was born in Am
herst county, Virginia, near Lynch
burg.
Naturally he was one of the first
to answer to the call of the south
in the sixties. At that time he had
just completed his law course at
Athens, but he donned his uniform
Rifles, receiving the next year his
commission as lieutenant and later
as captain Of Company E, Thirty
second Georgia regiment.
He escaped death only by one of
those singular trifles that are SO in
applicable, the bullet which struck
him in one Of the battles being de-
Elected from his heart by the da-
guerreotype Of his wife in his
pocket.
He was married in 1852 in the
uniform of the Confederacy, and the
suit, which is very handsome one,
was worn by two other officers in
his company for the same event.
He has always been representa-
tive citizen. He was member of
the legislature during 1915; treas
urer of Washington county for four
years; judge of the city court ten
years; member Of the Sandersville
board of education for twenty-five
years and treasurer Of that board
for nineteen years, no bond being
required; moderator of the Wash
ington County association, and has
taken an active lead in church and
civic affairs.
He was universally beloved, and
his death has saddened Sandersville.

Famous New Xork Artists MODEL
Because I ran away from school
three times to pose for my first
artist friend, the teachers complain
ed of my conduct to my parents, so
they took me home.
It was the first tragedy of my
life. I wrote to the young artist
and expressed my sorrow that L

known as the best in that part of
the country. People came miles to
see his fruit. 1t was his ambition
to settle on farm. So in 1918 he
made up his mind to go to Canada,
planning to send for my mother,
and my brothers and sisters later.
In 1914 he sent for US. We trav-

So RattIesnakeS Are
Killed bV RanCherS

It remained for Archie Washom
and Elmer Brown, two Give ones"
from the Amos Wilkins ranch, north
of Coburg, to give Eugene, Ore, the
biggest snake show it has seen in
many moons, even If it was strand
ed and defunct exhibition. These two
worthless dashed into town with their
livery team and blackboard outfit one
day this week, bringing the carcasses
of fifty-three dead and assorted rat
tlesnakes they had defeated in bat
tie royal in the Coburg hills.
The f1fty-three reptiles, ranging in
length from three to seven feet,
were soon laid out in the show win
dow of a local hardware store. The
show was free to all who cared to
look, and it can be said that great
crowds paused to view it and many
fingered long. The two ranchmen
took turns in acting as lecturers -
it would not be fair to call them
''ballyhoos"-and their stories of the
wonderful battle waged against the
reptilian army was more than inter-
estfng.

cumstances simply because he is too

figures-used by the Amreiacn ex-
perts in their work.
The American postwar debt will
be about 40 per cent Of her total
wealth. So will Britain's.
But the British are going right
after their debt. The British tax
rate has been far heavier than
Fra Frances thh1roughout the war. It
runs to around five billion dollars.
The French to around three billions.
Under the spur of war necessity
the British got used to paying heavy
taxes. They are keeping it up. And
while some financiers say that five
billions is more. than the British
like Frances, can be paid. She is
buck1ing to it..
So far France isn't. None of the
French ministries since the begin
ming of the war had the nerve to
slap on the needed heavy taxes;
though Of course taxes increased.
France was under invasion and the
French war cabinets were afraid of
the effect on the nations morale if
they imposed the rate needed.
The French government is "broke"
though the nation is not danger
ously poor; and neither is the indi-
vidual.
however, financial authorities be-
l1eve that once French business gets
under way, France will get busy on
wiipng out her debt, with the aid of
the damage bill she will collect from
Germany.
It is pointed out that thousands of
French people are foreign bond
holders. Many peasants hold Rus
sian bonds. These people have an
acute business sense. And any slip
shod government that failed to meet
obligations promptly after things
get on peacetime basis, would
probably get into trouble at home
for inviting other nations to take
their time about paying French-held
bonds.
Italy's postwar debt (by postwar
debt is meant the debt after the
armies have been demobilized to a
peace basis. and the nation is back
on a peace footing) will be two
thirds of her total wealth.
Strongest financial backing is a
stalk necessity for Italy; though by
a peculiar situation she will prob
ably be able to swim along all right
for six months.
Russia will be fully able to pay If
she eyer settles down to develop her
country under some stable govern

damages the allies will actually col
lect from Germany; the next ten
years crops; the fate Of what re-
mains Of the king business; results
of the League of Nations; Bolshev-

Nobody knows the answer to these
"ifs'' and "buts."
But the financial authorities put
the Quietus on loose talk around
peace circles to the effect that:
They're not worth the paper they're
written on"
That is sillier, they assert, than
the flat assumption that: They're
all as good as gold in the pocket"

What are the prospects Of col
1ecting the enormous sums of money
America lent the allies during the
war;"
For days I have been interviewing
financial experts and economists
here to advise the peacemakers, and
digging up figures.
The result of this investigation
might be summarized roughly as
follows, with obvious reservations.
1t must. Of course, be understood
that this summary is based not on
desire to pay" but rather on ability
to pay It is taken for granted that
all therallies desire to wipe out their
debts as quickly as possible.
That is what the best obtainable
figures indicate to the men who know
how to read them-the present pros
poets as they appear to financial
authorities.
Britain-Good-And Britain owes
almost half the United States war
loans.
Itaiy-very Doubtful-Italy's fl
nancial condition is the worst of all
the European powers. 1t will prob
ably be worse six months from now
than it Is today.
France-Fairly Good-The next
six months will be rocky ones for
France. But once over them, she
will be as able to pay as Britain is,
though the French have never paid
taxes as heavy as Britain's.
Russia - Ultimately Good - Rus
sia's resources, like Americas and
unlike those of western Europe, are
enormous. The Bolshevists repud-
lated war debts, but are frantically
offering to repudiate the reputation.
These "feelers" have been regarded
by the allies as insults-implying the
only interest they had in Russia was
to get back their money. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that whatever gov
eminent or governments are finally
established in Russia will wish to
pick up the old Russian foreign obli-
cations.

material and ships. ST..
xxThis embraces all Of pre-war
Russia. The - billion figure is
total wealth, not potential wealth.
Development of Russia with her
enormous resources, would great
1y increase this figure.
Postwar debt" rather than
present debt, Is used because the
expense of a war does not end
until some months, or years, after
the fighting stops. In the case
of America, for example, there is
the tremendous expense of get
ting the men home. And all the
allied nations are now support
ing armies in France, waiting to
be demobilized. "Cost war debt"
as used here means the debt when
the armies are demobilized to a
peace-time footing-when the ma
ton is back on peace-time
basis.
These figures are those used by
