tions of the petitioner which are definitely
stored within the state, or are reSod there
after breaking the original packagges, are
subject not only to inspection, but to the
tax imposed so soon as the interstate trans
portation of them Is ended.
1.-The fact that such oils must inevitably
meet the tax before they can be used 9TH
erwise than for sale in original packages is
not material This is true of all taxation.
If there is no discrimination because OF
their being imported, they pass under the
taxing power of the state, as under It's pro-
lection, soon as they pass out of inter-
original package, or by indefinite storage"
Order of Court
1.-THE Georgia constitution forbds no
form or mode of taxation generally per-
MISSILE, but only requires specified uni
formitieS. The form of taxation by ex-
cessive fees or so-called inspection nf MANY
articles has leng been resorted to for reve-
nue.. Many public officers have been put on
salaries and their fees which exceed their
salaries turned into the treasury. THIS
long continued and unquestioned practice In
the absence of any decision by the state
courts would make us reluctant TO declare
the act in question contrary to the state
COuS; ijU! ion.
ut will, accordingly, be ndjudged that
the collection of inspection feas, SO called
be eniuined and restrained in respect to
oils imported by the petitioner for sale in
original packages and so sold, and that an
injunction will be refused as to oils imported
for indefinite storage or for sale after break
ing the original package" ......
In dissenting, Judge Walker said, in part:
''I am unable to find any basis in the pro-
visions of the statute in questions TO con-
clude that it is anything but an inspection
measure. The fees prescribed cannot well
be considered as exacted for anything
but inspection where nothing is required
but inspection and payment for it. The
statute is materially different from that
passed upon in the New Mexico. case. The
statute there in question was held to i'm
pose a tax on the privilege of dealing in
gasoline in New Mexico. 1t did not require
any inspection of gasoline: To sustain the
statute to the extent in the foregoing opin-
ion requires the affirmance of the PROPOSE
ton that, as to imported goods, which, with
intent to use or sell them, lave been re:
moved from the original containers in which
they were brought into state, charge of
inspection grossly in excess Of the expenses
involved may be eXacted as the price of
such goods becoming the subject of lawful
use and disposition in the state"

BIRMINGHAM HAS
1920 POPULATION;
GAINS 34.4PER CENT

Atlanta offers heartiest congratu1a-
tions today to Birmingham, Ala.
AT $3.50 o'clock Tuesday morning
the census bureau announced Bir-
mingham's population as 17S.2T0, an
increase of 1854, or 34.4 per cent.
With these figures the Alabama
metropolis again takes it's rightful
place as the third city in the south -
proud position which none among
her sister cities begrudge her.
New Orleans comes first with $751;
4OS, and Atlanta comes second with
200,s16. Memphis is the fourth south
ern city with 162.351, not counting
Richmond, which has not yet been
announced. In 1910 the latter city's
population was 127,62S
\ remarkable feature of Birming-
hams census is the way in which,
during the past ten years, she has
kept pace with the strides made by
atlanta. In 1910 the population of
pirmipgham, with fifty-two square
miles, 1859: Atlanta. with twenty
SIX square miles, 154,S39, or 22,154
more than Birmingham.
IN the past ten years neither of
.he two cities has enlarged its terri
sary to amount to anything, but both
have added so numerously to their
population that, by the 1920 census,
Birmingham is seen to have gained
45,4S5 and Atlanta 45,777.
Thus, while Atlanta today has a.
S46 more people than Birmingham. it
has gained only 1872 more people than
birmingham has gained since 1910.
In the friendly rivalry which has
long existed between Atlanta and
Birmingham and other southern
cities, the matter of population has
ever been a prime factor. Atlanta
has wished, naturally enough, to out
distance her sister cities whenever
possible and as far as possible. But.
in the census just announced, Bir-
mingham proves again that she is
Eorthy antagonist. In keeping 50
llose to Atiantas heels, she merits
the sincerest praise of every Atlanta

Children born deformed and suffer,
ing from inherited diseases of a GER
tain nature should be allowed to die
and operations prolonging their lives
forbidden, according to DR.. Arthur
H. Rollnick, physician, some time
of Cape Town, South Africa, and
now of Chicago, speaking in Wash
ington on engenic marriage laws.
DIR. Rollnick is a disciple of DR..
Harry J. Haiseivan, of Chicago, who
before his death, in June, 1919, at
tracted wide attention by his refusal
to perform an operation on a baby
deformed at birth. DIR. Rollnick,
while admitting his beliefs radical in
the medical world. cites statistics to
strengthen his prediction that unless
concerted effort is made toward
standardized eugenic legislation the
world will be insane within 200
years"
Prevention is better than cure, DR..
Rollnick states, and his first step
would be to rid the world, at their
birth, of children who will grow up
mentally and physically defective,
and, in many instances, transmit
their Affections to posterity.
There is at present movement on
foot to obtain national legislation by
congress for eugenic marriage laws,
based on a similar law in effect in
Alabama, preventing those whose

Eager SWANS Sail Out to Meet
Cargo Of Brides From Greece

When the Greek liner Mega1ihellas,
from Athens and Greek ports, drew
alongside of her berth at Pier A.,
South Brooklyn, N. Y, there were
100 Grecian girls lined along the
rails and every one of them trying
to pick husband out of about fifty
men in four little boats bobbing
alongside the liner.
Some OF the girls had seen their
prospective husbands before, and rec
ognized them. They shouted greet
ings at each other across the water.
Some of the men had only letters,
These shouted the first names of
the fiancees. Difficulties arose in
this procedure because it happened
that two or more of the girls pos
sessed the same first name. Then
they would call both names.

SENATOR SMITH
URGES DELEGATES
TO BACK TICKET

United States Senator Hoke Smith
issued a statement Tuesday, deplor-
ing the failure of the national Demo-
cratic convention to recognize the
delegates elected by the Georgia state
Democratic convention, but urging
Democrats, in spite of this action,
to stay inside the Democratic organi-
zation, vote in the primary and sup
port the Democratic nominees.
His statement follows:
"Of course / regret that the ma
tional convention did not seat the reg
ular delegation elected by the Geor-
gia state convention.
1.-THE Palmer delegates were not
elected at he primary; they were not
selected by the state committee and
they were beaten at the convention.
Even under the rules of the commit
tee the state convention alone could
have selected delegates, and the Pal
mer men were beaten in the state
convention. The Palmer men simply
| selected themselves.
Regardless, however, of the action
by the San Francisco convention, l
| am still pleased that the Georgia
state Democratic convention refused
! to concede to less than one-third of
! the votes cast the right to misrepre-
sent the Democrats of Georgia In a
Democratic national convention.
Il still think the delegates to the
national convention should have been
| distributed to the three candidates ac-
cording to the votes they received
and I shall never regret that my
friends in the convention declined to
| ignore fifty7two thousand Georgians
who voted against me in the primary
| "There was very much more in II
than the candidates in the primary
1t was the position of the Democratic
voters on the covenant of the League
of Nations. With more than two
| thirds of the voters in our primary
declaring against the covenant of the
League of Nations, without at least
substantial reservations, to let the
Palmer delegation go to San Fran
cisco and present as the view of the
people of Georgia Endorsement of the

But even If we do not like the &C
ton at San, Francisco upon all sub.

support the ticket. We must stay in

nominees
IF any think they have grievance:

or even try to board her and carry
off their fiancees before the imrni-
grafton authorities had a chance to
make their acquaintance. SO the lit
tie boats filled with hopeful husbands
were shooed away.
Nearly 200 other men expecting
brides waited outside the pier. Their
fiancees were not supposed to be on
this ship, but they were taking no
chances.
Also on board with his wife and
daughter was George, Horton, one
time neWspaperman and attached to
the United States consular service
for twenty-nine years. He was con-
sui at Smyrna for six years and look
ed after the interests of the allies
from 1917 to 1919. He was also in
charge of the allied bureau of COM
munications at Salonica.
1t was he who managed the evacua-
ton of American citizens from Tur-
key. He is on his vacation and is
here for the first, time in six years.
Also on board were Mrs. Garrett
Droppers, wife of the United States
minister to Greece, and her daughter,

Elberton Policeman
Kills Two Negroes
On Midnigf1t Train

ELBERTON, Ga, June 29.-Night
Policeman Loften Jones in trying
to arrest a negro, Will Peloat, on
the northbound Seaboard air line
midnight train here Monday night
was shot in the arm by the negro.
The policeman then pulled his pisto.
and fired two shots, killing Peloat
and also another negro sitting in the
same seat with him by the name of
Will Harris.
When the train arrived in Elber
ton, it appears, the negro Peloat was
cursing and raising quite a disturb
ence. The conductor of the train
asked the policeman to take him off,
as" he said he was drinking and had
been very disorderly all the way
from Atlanta. He said that he tried
to get a policeman in Athens to take
charge of him. The policeman hero
entered the train and as he ap-
preached, the negro drew his pisto!
and fired. Jones did not intend shoot
ing Harris, but it is understood Harr
ris had been drinking with Peloat
and was unfuly.
Mr.. Jones has only a flesh wound,
but eye witnesses seem to think he
had a very narrow escape from
death. From passes removed from
the bodies of the dead negroes, it
was learned Will Harris was a Sea-
board porter who lived at Abbeville.
S. c., and Will Peloat was a brake
man who lived at III S. Parker
street, Monroe, N. c. The bodies
have been forwarded to their respec-
tive families.
