Governor DEFENDS Course
In appointing Collectors
Of Illegal Tobacco Iax

Between 200 and 300 friends of
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, attend
ing a meeting at the Kimball house
Tuesday night in response to invita-
lions which evidently were sent all
the $4,000 registered voters in Full
ton county, heard the governor for
the first time break his silence OF
many days on the subject of the IL
legal tobacco tax which has aroused
the ire and the protests of mer-
chants all over the state.
Hsi reply to the charge that his
special Investigators collected 500
arctic tobacco, out of which they
drew commissions of 20 per cent in
addition to 10 per cent paid county
tax collectors, was to declare that,
when elected governor, he took an
oath to enforce the law impartlally.
The merchants he described as tax
dodgers" He claimed he was en-
powered by a ruling of the attorney
general to make them come across,
and that the camptroller general
afterward commended him Tor as
suming a burden no other goterlloi
in fifteen years was willing TO as
sumo" .oa
He did not explain why he ignored
the regularly-elected tax collectol9'
and amounted special collectors, TWO
thirds of whom lived in Atlanta
among them his executive secretary.
He said that the collectors VINO gol
a. commission were entitled to 1t by
law and I'VE had to give 1t to EN-
because they delivered the goods
hut he did not mention his authorlty
for giving the special Investigators
20 ner cent commission.

FARMERS TOSTUDY
TOBACCO CROP IN
TOUR OF CAROLINA

Delegations of farmers from the
Georgia tobacco counties" and from
Georgia counties which plan to go in
for the wealth-producing crop that
famous. will go on tour early in
SEPTEMBER on a weeks pilgrimage
through North. and South Carolina,
to see how tobacco is grown and
cured and handled by experts with
a heritage of generations of sue
ing back of them.
AT least, this is the plan suggest
ed by the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railway development de-
partment, and at present, the idea
gives every promise Of an interest
Ing and productive fulfillment.
Chambers Of commerce, boards of
trade, tobacco. warehousemen, the
state college of agriculture, and other
railroads interested, all are consider
ing the plan; and w. w. Croxton,
passenger traffic manager of the A.,
B. & A., is receiving some most en-
couraging letters in regard to pros
pective delegations of farmers for
the trip.
The general idea is that Georgia
is capable of producing in many
counties very fine tobacco, and, in
but that the size and quality of the
crop should be vastly inereased-and
that first-hand inspection of the
methods IN the old established to-
bacco belt is the best way to bring
this about.
The proposed itinerary includes
Florence, S. c.; Wilson, Greenville,
Rocky Mount. Henderson and San
ford, N. C. 1t is suggested that the
going trip be made through Savan-
nah and the return trip through At
lanta, with stops at the points men
toned and at Athens, Ca, where the
Georgia. State College of Agriculture
is located.
The cost of the entire trip--of one
week-will amount to approximately
500, including railroad fare, sleep
ing car berth for the entire trip,
The Georgia State College of Agri-
culture will take the lead in the
field Inspection" and the local
chambers of commerce, boards of
trade, or county agents, will be re-
>quested to handle the details for
each county. 1t is hoped there will
be enough farmers from the tobacco
counties to secure a separate sleep
ing car for each county.
Any one desiring to make the trip
is requested to get in touch with
his county agent, county board OF
trade, or chamber of commerce. or
write direct to w. w. Croxton. P. t.

Illegal Tobacco Tax
Collector Said to Be
Forming Dorsey Clubs

CUTHBERT, Ca, Aug. 17.-Some
idea of the interest and Indignation
in this section respecting the col
lection of the illegal tobacco tax and
the payment of special corps OIL
collectors a fee of 20 per cent for
their work was evidenced here yes
terday afternoon.
Senator Hoke Smith had about
concluded his address in the public
park. He had invited questions con-
erning his own record and the is
sues of the campaign. There was
none, for the minute, and the SEN
ator was about to proceed with his
concluding remarks, when Col. A. s.
Perry interrupted:
Tell us about that tobacco tax
that the governor collected" he re-
quested
Senator Smith remarked that he
had only the information that he
had read in the public press, and
added that it was evident the states
finances had not been we'll handled.
II am told" he said, that one
of the men who collected this tax
and who received 20 per cent for his
efforts is now engaged in organt-
zing Dorsey clubs. 1t appears from
the press reports that the tax was
illegally collected and that those
who paid it have not been reimbursed
