PENSION RAISE is
GONE GLIM MI RING
OLD LIST TO RECEIVE OLD
AMOUNT AND NEW LIST
GETS NONE AT ALL.

The number of pensioners in Terrell
county will be reduced by II widows
and IA soldiers, a total of 81, as the
result of a ruling just communicated
to Ordinary L. c. Hoyl by J. W..
Lindsey, the state pension commits
sioner. This leaves in the county only
IS soldiers and 10 widows who will
receive pensions.
Only those Confederate pensioners
who received pensions from the state
prior to the act of 1919, which formed
a new class, will be eligible to pen
sion money this year, according to the
letter from Mr.. Lindsey. This letter
states that the attorney general has
so construed the pension appropriation
of the last general assembly in appro-
priating $250,000 for the years OF 1922
and 1923.
Commissioner Lindsey had previ-
ously advised the ordinaries that part
of the new class would be paid out
of the annual appropriations, but the
effect of the new ruling is to reduce
the amount paid pensioners in the old
class from $3.50 to $780,, with the new
class of pensioners taken off the list
entirely.
The new class of pensioners consti-
tute those women who married Con-
federate veterans prior to 1880, and
men who were made eligible by the
act of 1919, which removed the prop
erty restriction and required proof of
only three months service in the army.
The old class includes the Confederate
veterans now living and the widows
of those who were married prior to
the civil war.
Considerable warmth was injected
into the question of pensions at the
last session of the legislature, and 1t
promises to become hotter now than
ever before.

VIII I, DEBATE INSURANCE OF CROPS
FAREWELL TO
THE FLOUR SACK

Before long the housewife will be
able to buy -four at the grocer's in
hve-pound cartons. The big millers
have taken up the idea, thinking it a
good one.
Nearly everything else in the way of
dry foodstuffs is sold in cartons now
adays; so why not -four? An objec-
ton offered is that the housewife US
ually wants more than FIVE pounds for
current supply. True So likewise
does she want more than one cake of
soap; and therefore she buys several
cakes at a time. On the same princi-
pie she could buy several cartons of
flour.
Flour in cartons would be more con
venient to handle The paper boxes
would be vermin- proof. Flat-dwellers
would welcome such packages, if only
for the reason that their flour supply
would occupy minimum of storage
space

WILL PUT FARMER
ON RESERVE BOARD
BILL PASSED BY SENATE IN
ACCORD WITH PRESIDENT.
HARRIS AMENDMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The first
step to bring about farmer representa-
ton on the federal reserve board was
taken by the senate today in the pass
age of the Kellogg Smith compromise
bill increasing the boards appointive
membership from FIVE to six and pro-
viding that the agricultural interests
shall have spokesman among them.
By the bill, which constitutes an
amendment to the federal reserve act,
the limited designation of the pres
ent law is wiped out and instead of the
specific provision for the naming of
two bankers to the board the statute,
if agreed to by the house, will direct
the president in making appointments
to the board to have due regard to
a fair representation of the financial,
agricultural, industrial and commercial
interests and geographical divisions OF
the country"
The measure also provides that here
after no federal reserve bank may en-
ter into a contract for banking homes
if their cost is to exceed SZ50,000 I'M
less the consent of congress is trst
given. This was an amendment offered
by Senator Harris, OF Georgia.
The vote by which the bill passed
was 63 to 9. Senator Williams, OF
Mississippi was one of the democrats
who voted against the bill. President
Harding will observe the intent OF the
and will name the farmer
member. He had previously indicated
approval of the original proposal
Heated Debate.
Prior to the vote there were sew
eral hours of heated debate, in which
Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, Tor
mer secretary of the treasury and one
of the authors of the reserve act, de
Tended the system and the board, and
criticised Senator Heflin, OF Alabama,
also democrat, for the latter's ire
quent attacks on the board.
Mr.. Hehin declared that a board
which would permit orders to go out
for the construction OF a bank build
ing like that proposed for the New
York federal reserve bank, and which
is to cost around $20,000,000,000, was
covered all over with suspicious OF
graft" He declared the American peo-
Die were "in no humor to fool with
those fellows" making up the reserve
board, adding that it would be great
blessing if they would get out SO we
could put others in who are not dom
mated by Wall street
Denouncing chose who would de-
stroy, the great reserve banking sys-
tenn for the sake of politics" Glass de
clared that much more good would be
accomplished for the country III some
senator's and others would talk sense
to the bankers instead of nonsense to
the farmers"
"Why not tell the farmers the truth
once?" queried the speaker. "Why in
sist on drawing the picture OF defa-
ton and credits as the monster which
brought reduced prices not alone on
the farmers products, but on all COM
modities?"

INCOME-TAX MACHINE
GETS READY FOR GRIST
FIRST WILL CEN
TER EFFORTS ON PERSONS
EARNING $4,000 OR LESS.

Machinery for collecting 1921 in
come taxes is getting in motion in
Georgia. First, attention is being Civ
en- to returns on incomes OF less than
$4,000. Some copies OF form l040-A,
for individual returns on $4,000 and
less, already have been received in
Dawson, and the forms will be avail
able at the office of J. T. Rose, inter-
nal revenue collector, in Atlanta.
Copies will be mailed to all who
filed returns last year, but failure to
receive the form does not relieve a
taxpayer of his obligation to file a re-
turn on time-on or before March IS,
1922" The form has been reduced from
six to four pages, two of these devot-
ed to Instructions (which should be
carefully read by the taxpayers be-
fore filling in the blanks"
Exemption Is Increased.
There are two changes from last
year. A married person living with
husband or wife now is entitled to ex-
emption OF $500, instead OF $1,000,
provided his net income last year did
not exceed $4,000. If it exceeded S.
900 the exemption remains at $4,000.
Exemption for dependents, "a person
under is years of age or mentally or
physically defective" has been in
creased from $500 to $500.
Heavy penalties are provided by the
new revenue act for failure to file a
return and pay the tax on time, An
nouncement will be made later of the
date of release OF form l040, for filing
individual returns on incomes OF more
than $4,000.
Rates Remain Unchanged.
THE normal tax rates are un-
changed" the statement continues. Il
per cent. on the first $4,000 OF net in
comes above the exemptions and 8 per
cent. on the remaing net income. The
tax this year, as last, may be paid in
full at the time of filing the return, or
in four equal installments, due on or
before March IS, June IS, September
IS and December IS.
Returns are required OF every sim
gle person and every married person
not living with husband or wife whose
net income for 1921 was $1,000 or
more, and OF every married person
living with husband or wife whose net
income was $1,000 or more.
IF the combined net income of hus-
band, wife and dependent minor chill
dren equaled or exceeded $1,000, or if
the combined gross income Of hus-
band wife and dependent minor chill
dren equaled or exceeded $4,000, all
such income must be reported on a

MERIWETHER WANTS
KENT AND WOMEN
OFFICER COMES WITH WAR
RANT AFTER SCHLEY COUN-
TY TURNS TRIO LOOSE.

ELLAVILLE, Ga.--Schley county
is rid of ]. w. Kent and the two wo-
men, one his wife, who had been liv-
ing with him near Lacrosse, but an
other Georgia county, Meriwether, is
looking for them, there being a war
rant against Kent charging kidnap-
ping in carrying away the two-year
old child of farmer of that county
last February when he eloped to
Schley county with the child's mother,
bringing her along with his own wife
and representing the two to be Sis
tiers. This is the woman whom he
passed off as his own wife during the
residence at Lacrosse, and was the
mother of three weeks old child
when the three were arrested some
two weeks ago. the real Mrs. Kent be-
ing represented as his wife's sister.
Schley county happens to be rid OF
the trio because DIN McElhaney, the
Lacrosse farmer who eloped with and
married the real Mrs. Kent, not know
ing she was already married, and was
later informed of the facts by Kent,
dismissed the warrants against the
three and the county authorities de-
cided it would be cheaper for the
county and better for all concerned
to set them free and see that they
left this part of the state. The news
of their being freed was not made
public at the time, Schley county peo-
pie not relishing notoriety.
1t was not long after the trio had
been sent out of El1aville when Depu-
ty Sheriff Allen, of Meriwether coun-
ty. appeared here bearing clipping
of the newspaper story telling of the
arrest of the Kent trio and announc-
ing that the officers there had been
looking for them since last February.

HUNDRED DEAD FROM
DRINKING BAD LIQUOR
KNOWN DEATH TOLL FROM
DRINKING WOOD ALCOHOL
1o3 IN TEN DAYS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Poison booze
has killed l03 persons in the United
States since January lst ..
United Press dispatches from all
parts of the country revealed this
amazing total today.
Deaths are continuing. Two persons
died in the New York area during the
last "a hours. The fatalities have oc-
Cured at the average rate OF more
than eight day, since the poison
booze flood was poured on the market.
MANY persons are selling wood al
cohol, apparently Indifferent to the re
suits" Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health
officer of the city of New York, said
today. I'VE have been conducting an
investigation of this and find there is
much wood alcohol available.
mo one should ever take drink Of
liquor unless its origin is known. Ev-
cry drink of unknown liquor is po-
tential menace. Unfortunately there
are some people who will drink any
thing that is wet. The man who does
that risks his life"
Sold Deliberately.
The wood alcohol flood started with
the holidays. Federal officials are hunt
ing the INSCRIPTIONS gangs which are
believed delibately putting poison liq-
uor on the market for profit. The dead
1y connections are made up to resem-
bic gin and whisky, and sold in bot
ties with fake labels, at regular boot
leg prices.
1t takes very little wood alcohol to
cause death, and still less to bring
about blindness. The victims some
times die slowly in agony, or recover
only to find themselves sightless for
life.

FIRST SOVIET RACES

The horse-racing season started
the other day at Moscow, after an
interruption of five years. The at
tendance of the public was large,
despite the admission fee of 1,0O0,-
600 rubles. The promoter made
profits of amounts expressed in as
Economical figures.
The ladies were dressed in the lat
est fashion. The orchestra played
the "Internationale" and various
marches. The entire new bour-
geoisie had come and riyaled the
Soviet aristocrats in the spending Of
money. The Pravda complains that
such luxury was not seen even in
the time of the czars.

THE LITTLE BUSY BEE

The cave man had one source OF
living open to him--hunting.
If he were puny, he had small
chance of surviving.
Later the weaker or less ferocious
cave man added another way Of max
ing living cultivation Of the soil.
So the system expanded, until to-
day even a paralyzed blind man can
earn his own living, provided his
brain is intact.
Some Of the occupations most of
us consider side issues in our civil
lfzation are really gigantic indus
tries. For instance, NJ. F. Bryant
of Medina, o., one Of the kings Of
the honey industry, says 100000
Americans are beekeepers, producing
$8O,O00,000 worth of honey year.
Some of them make $4,000 year
apiece.

Near the city of Ishinomonsky.

husbands and are the acknowledged
heads Of the family. The men keep
