TO
GEORGIA CONSTITUTION

Several amendments to the state
constitution are to be voted on Nov
ember 2, and voters should be max
ing study of them if they are to
cast intelligently their votes. One,
and the one in which every body is
interested, is that for countrywide
local tax for the public schools.
Some facts about this amendment
should be carefully studied. The law,
or amendment, will not be state
wide tax" but each county will be a
unit in itself under the law, its board
of education being required to levy
a tax on the property within the
county limits of not less than one
mill nor more than five mills on the
dollar. This will naturally put diff
ferent rates in different counties.
The amendment will not effect state
funds direct nor will it materially
effect districts that have already
adopted local tax. The funds aris-
ing from the countrywide taxes, if
the measure carries, will be dsburs-
ed by the County Board of Educa-
ton just as state funds are now dis
bursed.
One great advantage of county
wide tax as against the district meth
cd is that no extra tax digest is re-
CURED in the countrywide way, while
by the district method each district
must make annually a digest of the
property within it's boundaries and
furnish this to the tax collector.

A SENSIBLE LETTER.

The Bank of Powder Springs has
sent out to it's customers a very SEN
sible letter. 1t tells them that, as
they have stood by the bank during
the years of prosperity and plentiful
condition of easy money, it will now
stand by them when money is tight
and not circulating so freely as it
did recently. Every customer is
asked simply to make what payments
his present condition permits him to
make easily and keep remainders in
bankable condition by the proper re-
newal of notes, assuring them that it
has ample means to do this. This
bank has confidence in the future
and in it's customers and it is willing
and ready to share its financial abil-
ity with those who have helped it
succeed. 1t is a time when people
need such assurance from the money
sources and if banks generally will
act this way it will help us to tide
over the present stringency.

CAR BURNS ON STREET.

Saturday night a young man drove
a Briscoe car up to Browns garage
to get gas. When the gas was put
in, he lit match to see chow much
gas" he had. In an instant he knew
he had enough to burn his car up,
for it flared up, burned the top, the
bed, the wiring and the hose to the
street tank, by the time you could
turn around twice. The running
gear, wheels and the like seem to be
little hurt. The car belonged to
Grady Dodgen but was driven by
some one else.

Children under sixteen wears Of
age will be required to have the sig
nature of either father or mother on
the application card before books
may be borrowed.
While at present the directors
feel that on account of the limited
supply of books, they must confine
the privileges of the library to the
residents of the city, employees of
manufacturing plants which con-
tributed to the library fund, who live
beyond the city limits, may become
members of the library by applying
to the corporation head for a card
of introduction to the librarian.
