Can Request to Horse
Be Made Exempt From
State Inheritance Tax?

The interesting question whether
q bequest to a horse, for its feeding
and attention, is exempt from the
inheritance tax law of Georgia, has
been raised in a case coming up
from Coweta county. The horse in
the case is named "Tom Watson"
but the name has no bearing upon
the legal ASPECTS Of the question.
Mrs. Sallie c. MCGEE died and left
Which she divided among relatives
end friends, and made also three
charitable requests. One was a be-
quest of $500 to the ThornWell or
phanage at Clinton, S. c.; one was a
bequest of $500 to the Methodist
orphanage at Decatur; one was a. be-
quest of $500 to her horses tom
Watson" for his feeding and care.
Ordinary J. A. r. Camp has made
an accounting to the estate and the
inheritance tax collected, as the
law requires, to Tax Commissioner
H. J. Fullbright. Among the be-
quests on which he allowed eXemp-
ton were the two to the orphan
ages and the one to the hoIse, Tom
Watson" But since the death of
Mrs. MCGEE, the administrator of
the estate appears to have expend-
ed total of $50 on TON Watson's''
feeding and attention, leaving a net
balance OF $3.50 exempted by the
ordinary.
The inheritance tax law of Geor-
gia provides that "all "a property
transferred to a person or corpora
ton in trust or use solely for educa-
tional, literary, scientific, religious
or charitable purposes, ETC., shall be
exempt"
Commissioner Fullbright said he
was not informed, and was not able
to decide, whether the bequest ito
the horse, tom Watson" came
within any of these several cate
gories. He has therefore written
Ordinary Camp as follows:
81 am in receipt OF copy of your
report in the matter Of the estate
of Mrs. Sallie c. MCGEE, but before
finally passing on the same I de-
sire a little more information as to
the horse, Tom Watson l see
that you allowed $3.50 as exemption
on account of this horse. L do not
understand just how the horse comes
to be a beneficiary Of this estate,
as he cannot inherit; and q special
trust fund that might be set apart
for such a purpose would hardly be
covered by the exemption in the
act. I will therefore wait fuller IN
formation as to just what is meant
by this provision. I note also in the
list of debts several items on account
of this same distinguished horse.
Please let me know what the idea
is for these several allowances in
the list of deductions"

Processes Are Guests

SOFIA, Bulgaria.-For the last
few weeks Princesses Eudoxia and
Nadejda have been guests of their
brother, King Boris, who had not
seen them in three years. The king
has often complained to his friends
of Ionesomeness caused by his being
suddenly deprived of all his relatives,
owing to the forced abdication Of
his father. Ex-King Ferdinand, with
Prince Cyril and his two daughters
have been living on his country es-
tate at Burg, Germany, where he
has been writing his memoirs, while
the princesses attended boarding
school and Cyril studied mechanical
engineering. Recently the former
king visited his Hungarian estates.
which gave rise to- reports of his
possible return to the Bulgaria.
throne.
The royal princeSSeS were rece1V-
ed cordially everywhere in Bulgaria,
but their presence created uneasi-
ness in some circles. The other day
socialist deputy interpellated Pre-
mier Stanlboulisky as to why the two
princesses had come to Bulgaria.
"Why not?" asked the premier in
return.
"Why does not their father come
as well?" asked the socialist.
Because the people do not want
him." replied the premier. Don't
worry. No more Ferdinandism is
possible in Bulgaria. The peasant
organizations are too powerful to
permit a revival Of monarchiaI ways.
Should young King Boris revert to
his fathers ways we will tell him
to leave the country, too"

that if the administration thinks

CEDAR CREEK COMPANY
TO START UP
FINE SHOWING OF ORE IN TWO
FACES-BELlEVE NEAR

Announcement of early resumption
of development operations is contained
in a letter to stockholders of the
Cedar Greek Mining & Development
company from William Becker secre-
tary, under date of March g. The work
of this company will be watched with
unusual interest at that time. for the
reason that when work was discontin-
ued last December the best ore show
ing that has even been made on the
property had just been exposed and
appearances indicated that it was the
beginning of large ore shoot. In the
crosscut- drift there was % inches of
ore, most of it of shipping grade, while
in the main drift there was from to
10 inches of milling ore. The Cedar
Greek is situated on tributary of
Granite creek about mile and a half
from Raven. a station on the line Of
the Prchard creek branch The letter
to stockholders follows. in which is ex-
planned the condition at the property
and plans for resumption:
Nearly Two Feet of High Grade.
"Now that the long winter is nearing
the end, your directors are preparing
to resume development work at the
earliest possible date and they feel
sure that this action will meet the
Hearty approval of stockholders. When
work was discontinued last December,
due to the excessively cold weather
which made it impractical to operate
with water power, the showing of ore
which had just been exposed was the
best ever made in Cedar Creek. and it
was therefore a great disappointment
to the management that conditions
made it necessary to stop.
1.-THE last work was crosscut south
erly from the main drift a short dis
lance back from the face. Stringers
of ore were soon found and in following
these the crosscut turned almost par

ers of ore steadily increased in size
and finally merged into a shoot of ore
