time TO MAKE YOUR
INCOME TAX RETURN
IF YOU PAID TAX LAST YEAR
YOU'LL GET BLANKS BY MAIL;
IF NOT, WRITE FOR THEM.

Making income tax returns is the
next thing on the program, Mr.. Citl-
zen. If you made tax return last
year A. o. Blalock, revenue collector
for Georgia, will mail you a blank,
but if you did not make such return
then you will have to write for your
blanks or call for them in person.
All returns, both of individual and
corporations, according to Collector
Blalock, must be filed by March Is
this year, and one quarter of the tax
due the government on income for
1919 must be paid at the time of FL
ing returns.
Quite a number of individuals and
corporations are on the mailing lists,
but Collector Blalock has announced
that it probably will be February be-
fore they are all placed in the mails.
Collector Blalock urges that every
one get blanks and return as soon
as possible in order to facilitate the
work of the department.
Two Reductions.
Two reductions have been made in
the tax to be paid by individuals on
income for 1919. On all incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 that are not
exempted the government will only
collect per cent, whereas incomes
under this heading were taxed per
cent last year. Eight per cent on all
incomes over $4,000 will be collected
this year, whereas II per cent on the
same class was collected last year
Operation of the surtax law begins
on incomes above $4,000 and runs as
high as so per cent on incomes of
more than $1,000,000.
The exemptions are practically the
same as they were last year. Single
persons will be exempted if their in
come did not exceed $1,000. This ex-
emption also applies to married
person not living with wife or hus-
band.
Married persons are exempted up
to $4,000, and where there are chill
dren under 10 years of age depend
ent $4,000 is allowed each.

PRICES MOUNTING

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR TAKES
ISSUE WITH ATTORNEY
GENERALS OFFICE.

WASHINGTON.-A singular dis
paragement in statements of gov
ernmental departments regarding the
cost Of living is made to appear in
official publication of the department
of labor which denies the previous
report of the department Of justice
that the upward trend of prices had
been checked.
Some days ago the department in a
brief statement took issue with the
department of justice. Today it
prints a detailed statement and out
wardly, at any rate, seemingly proves
it's case. 1t contends that market
prices in December were higher than
ever before in the United States, rep
resenting a 2.6 per cent increase over
December, 1918, prices, and an 80
per cent increase over December
1913, figures.

FEUDIST OF 80 YEARS
FREED FROM JAIL
FAMOUS KENTUCKY CLANSMAN
WHO WAS DYING IN PRISON
PARDONED BY GOVERNOR.

LEXINGTON, Ky.-Fletcher Dea-
ton, 80 years old, former Breathitt
county feudist, is free man. He was
pardoner by Governor Morrow on &C
count of his declining health, after
serving eight years of a life sentence
for completely in the assassination OF
Ed Callahan, former Breadthitt coun-
ty feud leader, who was slain from
ambush in 1912. Deaton was here on
his way home and never expects to
be out of Breathitt county again.
Governor Morrow had declared he
would not pardon any one until after
the legislature had ceased to func-
ton in March, but made an excep-
ton in the case of Deaton, to pre-
vent his probable death in the state
prison at Frankfort.
Callahan's assassination was the
result of plot alleged to have been
laid at Deaton's home, and in which
six or eight other members OF the
Deaton faction were concerned. Cal
lahan, as head of the Hargis-Calla-
han clan, the strongest feud organl--
cation in the mountains, was alleged
to have been responsible for the kill
ing of several Deatons. After one
attempt on his life he built a stock
ade around his home and store.
Finally, however, Callahan grew
careless and one day as he stepped
from his store to sweep the steps
he was shot down. He died in a
hospital he had given money to build.
Breathitt county officials made no
Roadway in an investigation, so Cal
lahan's daughter, Lillian, took up the
task, operating at night, as when the
slayers of her father heard of her in
vestigation they threatened to kill
her on sight. She gradually drew
the net about the Deatons: At last
she took her proof to the county
officials at Jackson and arrests fol-
lowed. Two of the accused confessed
they fired the shots which killed Ca
lahan. The confessions involved

eral others, was convicted. One as
sassin saved himself by turning
states evidence, while others are

M. & o. TO RELEASE
 ALL COAL SEIZED

Montgomery, August 6.--(Special) J. The Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com pany today informed the public serv- ice commission that it is true that it has recently confiscated coal con- signed to private utilities and indivi- duals in order to be prepared for any emergency, but that it's coal supply is again assured and that an order will go forth at once for the release of all confiscated shipments.
 An investigation was started Friday when information was obtained that a general order had been issued by the Mobile and Ohio to all agents requiring them to confiscate all coal shipments consigned to any persons but public utilities, railroads and government de- partments. The public service com mission called for a report and the railroad answered that confiscation was necessary because of the tie-up in the Illinois coal fields, which have been furnishing it's coal supply
 It was further stated that the strike $ have now been settled, that coal is again being mined, that the seizures were made only ts Care for emergency and that none has been used. It was promised thst the shipments would proceed to their destinations without further delay.

IRISH BILL IS
 ]AMMED THROUGH Measure Is Designed to Re- store Order in Ireland.
 Little Opposition
sy Associated Prcss

London, August 6.-By an over whelmingly majority the government this evening damned through the Irish bill, designed to restore order in Ire land. Lengthy debate preceded the voting in the house of commons. but lacking the presence of Premier Lloyd George and Herbert H. Asquith, they did not stir the interest which attached to yesterdays discussion and were far less acriminous.
 notable exception was furious outburst by Joseph Devlin, nationalist member from Belfast, who defied the authority of the house to bring him to order and precipitated an exciting scene, as a result of which he was su- spended. He stalked out, followed by all the other Irish members and al most the entire labor representatives
 For time it seemed as if there was no way of suppressing MT. Devlin ex- cept by removing him bodily He un- loosened a flood of invective against the bill, demanding that MT. Lloyd George be summoned to share responsi- bility for this ''iniquitous measure" and vehemently asserted the reason the premier was absent was that he might "concoct another war with Russia"
 From the government benches cries of ~Orderi Ofderr' arose with admoni- tions to respect the house. MT. Devlin shouted in reply: q have, no respect for the house of commons; despise it."
 Bedlam then broke out when the chairman finally managed to make himself heard he severely ad- monished MT. Devlin, threatening to expel him from the chamber if he con- tinued to ignore the authority of the chair. Devlin, who had now worked himself up to a high pitch, continued defiant, thereupon the chairman called upon the sergeant at arms to remove him. He refused to budge and the chairman found it necessary to sum- mon the speaker, who was absent, as the house was sitting in committee.
 The sergeant at arms placed huge formidable looking mace on the chair mans table. The galleries, in which there were numerous American tour ists anticipated rough and tumble dew elopments.
 r''Bring on the army of occupation" shouted MT. Devlin, but he calmed down when the speaker, impressive in wig and gown, entered the chamber and with dignity seated himself on the dais He was acquainted with MT. Devlin's conduct and put a motion to the house to suspend him.
 Devlin appeared to take the sentence philosophically and when the vote on the motion to exclude him was an- nounced, he walked out rapidly before the speaker could conclude the request that he leave. The ensuing exodus of Irish members and labor champions left only handful of liberals to con- tinue the fight on the bill and there was no further excitement until ap plication of closure met with angry shouts Gagged"
