30 GASOLINE
 DEALERS FAIL
 AYSTATET TAX
Local Dispensers of Liquid Gas Charged With Fail ure to Pay State Tax of One Cent a Gallon.

Wednesday was gasoline day" in Esq Grooms court, if the character of the cases handled have anything to do with designating the occasion. It was q special session for those who violated the state tax law re- quiring the payment of one cent per gallon for gasoline sold by dealers in the fluid.
 Two weeks ago approximately sued against infractors of the stat ute upon information that was filed upon authority from the office Of the prosecuting attorney.
 The following is a list of those who were arraigned and given as- sessments of either $10.00 and costs or the costs alone, depending upon the extent of their guilt in the vio- lation Ben Newberry, ], L. Tyner, J. C. Jones and j. l.. Dacus, of Wal colt; Homer Mann and w. l.. Siodh OL FtuldiH, Lane MOlOf com pany and c. c. Grogan of this city, Instances where the taxes had been paid but the report not filed with the county clerk the costs alone were assessed In other instances where taxes had not been paid and no report filed the minimum fine of 5000 and costs were assessed.
 The long list of warrants issued included many local dealers who got wind of the prospective proceed ings and had their taxes paid and reports filed before service was executed
 All persons dealing in gasoline are required, under the state law, to pay into the office of the county treasurer one cent per gallon tax for all gasoline sold and upon re- ceiving the treasurer's receipt for same are legally required to file the statement with the county clerk. It appears that practically everyone handling the liquid gas in the county has been charged with the violations failing to pay the tax and failing to file statement of same with the clerk.

Perhaps I am moved to do so because of a little incident in my own life. My mother bore eight children. and raised six of them to maturity. One afternoon shortly be- fore her death we were ali at my home holding Q family reunion. and she spoke of having borne eight chil- dren and said with an affection most appealing to me that she had been happy to bear eight children and if she had her life to live over she would have no desire to change il except to bear eight more. l thought it was a beautiful thing for her to say, and to recollect of it inspired me to write my very cordial con gratulations to you and add thereto my very best wishes.
