In the death of Mrs. Asenith Lind
ley, which occurred Sunday morning
at a o'clock, at the home of her son,
Mr.. T. N. Lindley, with whom she
llVed, this town and community lost
Its oldest inhabitant. Having been
born August 5, 1927, she was nine
ty-three years of age, and up until
few months ago she retained all
OF her faculties. Probably no other
woman in this section had come
through the trials of life as had this
saint of God. Her husband Mr.. JON
athon Lindley, was killed while serv-
ing in the Civil War and she was
left with five very small children to
support. Her house was shelled by
the federal soldiers, the marks of
which are still to be seen in the old
home near town. Through all her
hardships she kept faith with God
and was loyal to His church. She
was member of the Methodist
church eighty one years and up until
few years ago when feeble health
prevented she was faithful in attend
ance and support of the same. Her
funeral was conducted from the
Methodist church by her pastor, Rev.
j. A. Gray, Monday morning at 10
O'Clock. She is survived by two chill
dren, T. N. Lindley and Mrs. Fannie
Turner, one sister, Mrs. Jane John

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Officials
of the Smithsonian Institution doubt
less were chagrined to learn that the
house office building contains col
lection of animal life that bids fair
to surpass their own. The facts
came forth the other day in a de-
bate over $4,000 item for repair

VAST QUANTITY
MEAT IMPORTED
GEORGIA CONTINUES TO RE-
CEIVE BIG SHIPMENTS FROM
OTHER STATES.

That Georgia continues to import
vast quantities of meat, notwith-
standing the growth of the hog and
cattle industry in the state, is shown
by statistics compiled by DR.. Peter F.
Bahnsen, state veterinarian, and CIV
en- out Saturday. His figures cover
the years 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919.
They show that the state produced
more food stuffs in 1918 than in any
other year on record and raised and
marketed more cattle and hogs than
in any other year, but at the same
time imported great quantity of
meat from other states.
This is explained by Mr.. Bahnsen
on the theory that war conditions
were responsible for both high rec
ords in 1918. The government made
a drive for increased food .produc-
ton to help win the war. In 1918
there were trained in Georgia many
thousands of soldiers in the various
environments, and large part of
their diet consisted of meat. In 1916
the state of Georgia imported a to-
tai of 96,690,767 pounds of meat of
all kl0uS, IdIuJ CdhifSu iHSdIo ebiiN
other packing house products. In 1917
the state imported a total of 75,5O7,-
089 pounds; in 1918 a total of 3d.
57O,339 pounds; in 1919 total OF
88,537,713 pounds.
II will be noticed that the importa-
lions of meat in 1919 were less than
those in 1918 and less than those in
1916. DR.. Bahnsen estimates that
the 1919 importations represent
about the normal meat importations
under present conditions. DR.. Balm
sens figures show that the total beef
importations for 1919 were 1924
sos pounds, or 40,587 head of cattle,
requiring ,45O cars to haul them to
the packing houses and worth $4,-
056,939 at the low price of rs cents
a pound.
Taking the pork importations for
1918, which was the largest year on
record, the figures show that Georgia
imported the equivalent of 1929
hogs, requiring 10000 ears to haul
them to the packing houses and rep
resenting an expenditure of $1O,-
838,218,

SHOW TAX PENNIES
WEIGH 1000 TONS
UNITED STATES GETS TOTAL OF
$50, 100000 FROM PATRONS
OF PLAYHOUSES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The. con-
tributions to the support of the gov
eminent by those people who pay adj
missions to theaters aggregates for
the United States $50, 100000 year.
The average individual who pays
10 or 20 or 80 cents for admission
into a moving picture show and an
additional l or or pennies for tax
to the government rarely stops to
visualize the sum total of these pen
MES when they are finally scraped
together and turned over to the
treasury department at Washington.
Were they to arrive at the treasury
in two horse drays there would be
string of them six miles long, bear
ing 1000 tons of pennies.
Collection Is Complicated Task.
Few people appreciate the organi-
cation that is necessary in the col
lection of these pennies-the com
plications of the task of seeing to it
that every theater that sells tickets
turns in the tax money to the gov
eminent.
On1L6u OLdIcS SpCSIdi O6Oii"o S"N@
toned in Chicago recently made
survey of the situation to determine
whether or not the government is
getting all that is coming to it from
this amusement tax. 1t found that
in the internal revenue district IN
which Chicago is located there were
$50 theaters which were in arrears
in the payment of the amounts due
the government.
Orders Immediately went forward
from Washington for drastic action
in bringing these delinquent theaters
up to the mark. At the same time
blanket order was sent out to the
sixty-four collectors of internal reve-
nue. in the sixty-four districts in
structing each to survey his field to
determine what theaters were in ar
rears and to take the necessary ac-
ton to collect all moneys due to
date.
This action calls attention to the
necessity which lies with the federal
of knowing every ticket
which is sold to every performance
everywhere and getting, the 10 per
cent tax on that ticket.
That he may collect the money due
the government it is necessary that
each collector should know of every
theater that is operating in his dis
trict.

WHISKY IN STORE
IS GOING RAPIDLY
NEARLY QUARTER OF AMOUNT
HELD IN RESERVE WITH
DRAWN SINCE JANUARY.

Twelve months will see the gov
eminent bonded warehouses drained
of every drop of the approximately
6O,OOO,O0O gallons of whiskey on
hand when national prohibition went
into effect. unless there is an imme-
date check on the withdrawal both
under bogus and genuine certificates,
according to Washington officials.
Reports to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue show that on legiti-
mate certificates there was a with
drawal of 4,016,983 gallons of dis
titled spirits during March, the lat
est report available, while in Febru-
airy, or in the first month of nation
wide prohibition, there was a with
drawal of 1,765,691 gallons on le-
ultimate certificates.
Many Bogus Certificates.
While no statistics are available as
to the total Withdrawals on bogus
certificates during any month it is
believed that when the final reports
for April and May are available they
Will SHOW IlldI dO lSdSC 1OSOOOJVoO
gallons have been withdrawn.
On January 1, 1920, sixteen days
before nationwide prohibition be-
came effective, receipts were out
standing against the government for
57,498,126 gallons, supposedly stored
in warehouses. Whiskey stored in
other than government warehouses
was supposed to have brought the to-
tai up to approximately 1,485, l28
gallons.
Should Withdrawals continue at
the rate officially shown for March
the whisky on hand can last only un-
til next March. Officials, however,
are of the opinion that survey OF
the stock will show many millions OF
gallons less than accommodation with
drawals cover.
As a result of the expose of the
widespread use of bogus certificates
every agency of the treasury depart
ment, together with operatives of the
department of justice, are at work
running down the frauds. 1t is ex-
pected that new policy on the part
of the prohibition commissioner to
put stop to illicit sales will be an
nounced soon.

BANKERS FAVOR
GRADE SCHOOL.
BONDED WAREHOUSES WITH IL
CENSED GRADERS in EVERY
COUNTY ALSO WANTED.

ATLANTA, Ga. = The Georgia
Bankers Association, it is announced
here, have passed resolutions endors-
ing the PURPOSES and plans of the
American Cotton Association and
pledging its support to the cotton as
ISOLATION in it's constructive program.
This program is on building ware
houses, marketing the crop in an or
DERBY, buslness-like manner to meet
the law of supply and demand and
by warehousing to prevent the enor-
nous amount of country damage sus-
tanned by the cotton growers each
year.
"Cotton must be warehoused, put
into bankable shape by the isuing of
uniform warehouse receipts showing
weight, grade and staple and then
adequately financed, and in this way
alone can it be properly marketed
and bring to the cotton growers a
fair price, which should cover the
cost of. production plus a fair and
reasonable profit" declare the bank
ers.
Strong endorsement was also given
the plans of the cotton association
by which it proposes to establish cot
ton grading schools in all the col
leges in the cotton belt and also to
teach the marketing of cotton.
T. R. Turner, president of the
Georgia Bankers Association, in his
annual report strongly recommends
the establishment of bonded ware
houses with licensed graders in every
county.

SOVIET RECORDS.
ARE SHOCKING
CAREER OF BOLSHEVIK MUIR
DER COMMISSION Barred
BY THE RECORDS.

So many contradictory stories
have ben published regarding the
cred" terror in Russia that much in
terest is attached to the report of the
extraordinary commits
sion, published as an official docu-
ment of the soviet government. Lit
tie is known of the work of this
Chresvychaikas, or commission, SO
far as the Bolshevist publications
themselves are concerned.
Immediately after the Bolshevist
seizure of power there was set up in
the former headquarters of the cars

go, writing in the Independent, this

At first there was only one COM
the one in Petrograd. Then
was set up in Moscow, the
two being regarded as branches of
one body, the all-Russian extraordi-
nary commission. Subsequently
many similar bodies were establish
ed throughout Russia but were not
made responsible to the commission.
The report of the latter, therefore,
deals with only the cities of Moscow
and Petrograd.
According to the report, 6,185
persons were put to death by orders
of this body in 1918 and 1886 in
1919.
Revclutionaries Sentenced.
Mr.. Spargo denies that in the
great majority of cases the execu-
tions orderd by the commission were
for crimes against life and property
and that rarely was a person put to
death for counter-revolutionary pro-
paganda. Of the total number put
to death, he says, SCI were found
guilty of crimes against persons and
property, PIT were condemned for
1904 for other classes
of crimes and 1908 for counter-rev-
activities.
Included among the latter deaths
was the execution of priest for IAN
sermon and of another
being shot "for saying masses for the
late Nicholas Romanoff" the car.
Mr.. Spargo says that by comparison
with the soviet reign the cars re-
CINE was benign and benevolent.

STATE STOPS
ALL PAYMENTS
SOME STATE EMPLOYEES HAVE
NOT BEEN PAID SALARIES
FOR MAY. HARD UP.

For the first time in the history of
Georgia there are not sufficient funds
in the state treasury to pay the ex-
penses of the legislature which con-
.venes June 23rd, and heroic steps
must be taken to pay the actual ex-
penses of operating the state govern
lernment. Besides, there are employees
of the state departments who are de-
Ependent upon their salaries to meet
living expenses who have not been
paid for their services for the month
of May.
The condition of the state treasury
has not been known generally and Of
Ificials interested in the situation are
now working on plans for financing
the state during the crisis. 1t has

SOUTH FACES CUT
in c. O.P. DELEGATES
CONVENTION ADOPTS RESOLU-
TON ORDERING NEW BASIS
STATE REPRESENTATION.

CHICAGO..The republican party
in the south has got to poll more
votes or be penalized through reduc-
ton of it's representation in future
national conventions as result of
action taken by the convention at
Chicago.
A resolution presented by Paul
Rowland of Ohio directs the national
convention to make up a new basis
of state representation within year.
1t was adopted unanimously, although
southern delegates made a futile eff
fort to have it ruled out of order.
The resolution is aimed at con-
dition in the south which was brought
sharply to the attention of the Gre
dentials committee and the resolu-
lions committee of the convention.
Vote Has Dwindled.
In many southern states the rep
resentation in the convention was
based on a republican vote costs in
some particularly fortunate republi-
can year, although the actual republi-
can vote cast has dwindled to almost
nothing. This has resulted in some
southern states with hardly any re-
publicans being as we'll represented
as some northern states with a large
republican vote.
Numerous contests in the south
this year, involving in some cases the
rights of white and negro delegates,
brought the question before the Gre
dentials committee. Negro delegates

Southern members of the nationa,
committee are prepared to fight de
terminedly any effort to reduce then
representation. They will face the
however, northern com
mitteemen said, of letting the negro
republicans vote and thus earning the
same representation as northern
states, or having their delegations re
duced in proportion to the actual size
of the vote cast

VIENNA.-With the traditional

ded belt as the mark of his dignity,

scarlet, Count Neustadt was for years
enc of Emperor Fra pr Joseph's court
chamberlains. He ED the same po-

noted as afnished MASTER of etiquette
at what had long been the most bril-

He wore cylinder hat, lustreless
from the rigors of Vienna weather.
The leather of his shoes had severed
relations with the soles in more than
one spot.
Count Neustadt reached out with
a trembling hand for the tins of con-
densed milk and the cut of bacon
placed before him by worker in the
American Red Cross supply depot.
He suffered some words of gratitude
in perfect English, put on his hat and
slipped out of the building nervously
eager to share the precious food with
his family With the food he receiv-
ed a card emitting him to regular
weekly allowance.
