COUNTIES RECEIVE
MORE THAN THEY PAY
TWELVE BEAR THE BURDEN
OF WHOLE STATE. FIGURES
ON STATES EXPENSES.

In 1922 just $50 counties in Georgia
out of the l62 drew more money out
OF the state treasury for schools and
pensions than the entire amount they
paid into the treasury in taxes on the
properties and possessions in those
counties.
A further surprising showing is
that just one class of property in the
state paid more than half as much
into the state treasury last year as
the total advalorem and utilities tax
paid into the treasury. Automobiles
paid into the treasury something more
than $3,000,000 last year. and Com
missioner Fullbrght points out there
was not a word OF protest or kick
registered
The total amount of advalorem
property tax paid the state last year
was $5,142000 while the appropriation
for school purposes was $4,250,000, in
addition to which the educational de-
partment is now making claim Tor
$650,000 more on the ground that the
appropriations act gives the schools
50 per cent of the states revenue from
all sources whatever.
Small Part for Salaries.
The records show the total expens-
es for salaries in 1922 were $430,0 900,
of which the salaries of thirty-hve SUI
perior court judges and thirty-one So
licitors general amounted to $182,750;
the salaries of six supreme court
judges and six judges of the court Of
appeals and heir stenographers
amounted to $4,000, leaving the sal
aries of all the state house officials,
their clerks and stenographers $780,
$50, or a little more than per cent
of the states total budget.
The same records show the legisla-
tive pay roll for a session of fifty
days was $121,000 or only $4,000 less
than the entire salary account for the
state house offices for the whole year.
The average county receives from
the state in school and pension ap-
preparations alone at least $3.50 for
every ST it pays to the state in adva-
loren taxes as a whole. The records
on that line show the banner county
in 1921 was Union, which received
from the state just $3.50 for every 81
it paid to the state in taxes.

GEORGIA TEACHERS

On January 1st, 1923, every state

larger per cent of its teachers mem
bers of its state teachers association
than did Georgia Since that time
Florida has surpassed Georgia.
Georgia has 1921 teachers. On
January LIST, 1922, 1000 teachers were

Association, the only teachers organ
ization in the state January LIST, 1923,

cent of Georgia teachers are members
of the Georgia Education Association.
Every teacher in Georgia, both rural
and city, should be a member Each
of us receives many benefits from the
Association, both directly and indi-
rcctly in advancing the cause OF edu-
cation, in keeping ourselves informed,
and in securing the opportunity of at
tending the best convention we have
ever had.
Every teacher in Wyoming, Utah,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land and Arizona are members of the
state teachers association. Last year
many towns and few counties were
100 per cent members of the g. E. A.
This year the following schools are
already 100 per cent: Waverly Ter
race, Columbus; Northern Heights
Cordele; and one school in the Bib
system. 675 teachers of the Atlanta
schools have joined the Georgia Edu-
cation Association this year

Believe Americans Walk
Upside Down in Darkness
American Explorer Dicovers Mountain
People Who Have Vague Ideas.

A tribe so primitive that it believes
Americans live on the bottom OF the
world and are therefore in darkness,
has been found in the mountain vii
lagos of the Daghestan, in the interior
of Asia, by DR.. F. A. Colder.
These people, DR.. Colder said upon
his return to Moscow, Russia, think
that Americans do their blowing while
walking upside down driving oxen to
whose horns candies are tied. Believ-
ing that the world is table-shaped,
with themselves on its top, they feel
that the Americans are unfortunate
because they are compelled to live in
eternal night.
Some were anxious to know how
Americans managed to get about. One
old gray beard, sorely perplexed, II
nallv came to the conclusion that, in
asmuch as Americans are wonderful
people, they have undoubtedly taken
a lesson from the fly and learned to
walk upside down.
The tribes are primitive to the eX-
IRENE the families living in stone
huts. AS a result of Dr. Golder's visit
the American relief administration has
sent rations for 100Gc. children to the
primitive mountain village.

HARDING BENEFITED
BY REST IN SOUTH
PRESIDENT GIVEN OVATION
BY CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA
ON EVE OF DEPARTURE.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-The departure OF
the presidential party from augusta
brought to a close vacation OF tlve
weeks for the chief executive, four
weeks of which were spent in Florida
and one in Augusta.
That this almost entire separation
from official duties has benefited Mr.,
Harding is plainly seen. Moreover
Mrs. Harding, whose convalescence
from her illness OF last fall, although
steady. was slow while she remained
in Washington during the winter, has
regained much of her former strength,
This return by Mrs. Harding to health
has. in the opinion OF members OF the
vacation party, been quite as much OF
tonic to the president as the days
spent in the sunshine of Florida and
Georgia.
A Notable Ovation.
In returning to Washington, Mr.:
Harding, it was said by members OF
his party, carries with him strength
ened feeling that people OF the South
although largely of a different Po-
lltica faith, are united with HIM as
president. Mt was evidenced and de-
clared at the dinner given in his honor
by the leading citizens OF Augusta ana
this section OF Georgia and indicated
by the ovation he and Mrs Harding
received during an automoDhe rue
in the afternoon through the down
town section of Augusta. The rae
downtown was planned as a review OF
the school children OF the city ana
there they were by the thousands, but
for every child there was an elder, all
lining the streets and waving and APP
plauding as the president and Mrs.
Harding drove by.
The reception was said to have Deeh
greatly appreciated by the chief ex-
ecutiye and Mrs. Harding, adding
strength in the presidents opinion to
the declaration made. in his address
here that not a vestige OF the mis-
understanding of the civil war was
left in the United States.
Domestic Affairs First Concern.
Several persons close to the Presl-
dent saw in his address what answer
he might make if he choose to reply
to the notice served in New York
bv former Associated Justice John
Clark OF the United States Supreme
Court that the league Of nations issue
would be forced into the 1924 election:
This. it was indicated, was embodied
in the following portion OF Mr.. Hard
ines address: Our first concern, my
countrvmen. is Of domestic affairs in
this republic. You need not worry
about our relationship with the rest
of the world. tell you with pride
and confidence that they were never
better at any time in the history OF
America than they are today. We
are surely not SO involved in old world
affairs as some OF our friends would
have us. This will be the verdict
OF Europe-that the republic of the
United States is the most just nation
in the world-and justice is the most
that is asked by God Almighty
