UNITED WAR WORK

Mr.. ]. w. Legg, who was chair
man of the United War Work Cam
paign, is in receipt of a letter from
Mrs. C. L. Carter, who had charge
of the collections for Winnings, asking
an explanation of letters sent out by

amounts sent through her which prac-
tically paid all pledges from Winnings,
and Mr.. Legg asks US to publish the
following explanation:
Mr.. T. L. Wallace was the secre-
tary who handled the checks and
funds sent in and the last remittances
of Mrs. Carter were addressed to him,
although he was away from Marietta,
upon the road, and before he got
back and got Mrs. Carriers remittan-
ces to turn over to Mr.. A H. Gil
bert who had, taken over the work,
the letters Mrs. Carter mentioned
were written and mailed out.
Mr.. Legg asks especially that we
commend the people of Winnings upon
the redemption of their pledges, and
he trusts that this explanation will
reach any who may have received
letter after having paid.

OFFICERS OF THE LAW
SEARCHED WRONG CAR

The boys coming back from For
syth court on Wednesday evening,
are telling a good one on General
Motley. He was riding in car with
a Mr.. Cooley, of Buckhead, when they
came to part of the road that comes
through Gwinnett county.
They noticed a car stopped in the
road in front of them and man be-
side it apparently working on tire.
When they got to the car they found
a log placed so as to prevent their
going around it, and as they stopped
the General says the ground seemed
alive with men and guns. One of the
men near the car showed a pistol in
the Generals face, which he claims
was as long as fence rail, and said
throw up your hands"
The boys say the generals hands
went up so suddenly and so high that
they stuck through the top of the car.
The general admits that he did his
best to comply with the gentleman's
request.
eve are looking for that liquor
says the gunman. 81 am no liquor
man" says the General. "You are
liar" says the gunman, 81 can tell
one in the dark"
A seach followed, no liquor was
found, and apologies made for stop
ping the wrong car, but the General
is convinced that the officers of the
law in Gwinnett are doing their full
duty, and then some, in their efforts
to suppress the whiskey traffic
through their county.
We think however, that the officers
may have become so embarrassed by
their mistake, that they failed en-
tirely to search the right car.

Eighty-Second Division

We have at hand copy of the Gen.
eral Orders of the SIND Division of
last January, and find therein the
name of Guy Roberts cited in man
ner to give pride to his numerous
friends and relatives here.
We have previously mentioned that
he won his captaincy upon the field
of battle, and had otherwise sus-
tanned with great credit the honor of
his flag.
We reproduce below the official CT
tation from the General Orders of
January 18th:
HQ. 82d Div, American E. F., France.
IS January, 1919.
General Orders No. l.
/. The Commanding General an
nounces to the Command the splen-
did conduct of the following officers
and soldiers in action against the
enemy as described after their re-
spective names:
(EXtract)
Capt. John C. Roberts, 32Sth Inf.
During the period, October 14-31,
1918, during the fight in the vicinity
of Sommerance, France, this officer,
then lieutenant, was Acting Batal-

in that capacity made numerous Wis

During one of these trips he spent

PALMER DECLINES OPINION
ON COTTON COMBINATION

Washington, April 24.-Attorney
General Palmer has declined to give
an opinion on the legality of the &C
ton of southern cotton growers to
limit their crop this year in an effort
to maintain prices.
This opinion, it was explained to-
day had been sought by Secretary
Houston to throw light on the situa-
ton which had caused complaints
from number of cotton consuming
interests. Since the question did not
involve directly any administrative
matters within the department of ag-
riculture, however, the attorney gen.
eral declined to rule. This, it was
said, is in accord with law limiting
the attorney generals opinion to
specific problems arising in govern
mental administration.

MONEY COMING IN
TOSTATE TREASURY

Last week the money in the state
treasury was getting low, and the out
look for meeting the fixed liabilities
were not at all bright, but in the last
few days the receipts have broken
all records.
For the first time in the history of
the State practically every County
Tax Collector will have made his final
annual settlement on the date pro-
vided by law.
Up to the present time lis counties
have settled up. Others are expected
to come in Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning. This number has
been estimated at rs, making total
of 14O counties, with only about a
dozen to hear from. Last year only
80 counties had reported by April 20.
r. Collections. for the month have run
500, 900 over the most optimistic es-
donates. Whisper, State Treans-
urer, had estimated that the collec-
tons up to May l would run about
100000, but the figures show that
more than 100000 has been receiv-
ed. In the past few days between
$4,000 and 100000 has been turn
ed in.
Monday it was estimated that there
was about 100000 in the treasury
to meet the expenses of the State.
Much of this increase in receipts is
attributed to the action of the last
Legislature in adding special taxes
to the list, and increasing the rate
on certain properties and businesses
ma number of instances.
