"The United States Supreme Court

not taxable. Since that decision was
rendered great number of compan-

Ends

Former State Senator Malcolm B.
Council, one of Sumter county larg-
est farmers and most influential citi-
zens, died at his residence on Rees
park Wednesday evening. He was
elghty-two years of age and a native
of Fayetteville, N. c., although he
had lived in Georgia practically all of
his long and useful life.
Senator Council was son of the
late Solomon B. Council, one of
Sumter's pioneer citizens, and came
here with his father from Fayette-
vile in 1912. The Council family
made the journey here from North
Carolina in two-wheeled cart
which was drawn over the uneven
roads by yoke of oxen, and they
were among the pioneer settlers in
this section. Settling upon the Coun-
ell home place, as it is known, on the
Dixie Highway, near Americas, the
elder Council, assisted by his two
sons, George w. Council and NAL
colin Council, cleared that fertile
farm out of virgin wilderness, and
later it was brought into it's present
high state of Improvement by Sena-
tor Council, who ever retained an
active and energetic interest in farm
ing, which he made his life work.

but always he returned to the ranks
and when Lee surrendered at An

rank of captain and adiutant, to
which he had been promoted for
bravery in action.
