.Almshouse Looms for
Aged Woman Dreaming
OF Browning Millions

AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. S.-News of

have been taken to place eighty-two.
year-old Mrs. Margaret Ready, a sup.
posed heir to the Browning millions,
in the almshouse of Richmond
county.
The aged woman is an invalid and
has been in a helpless condition for
years. A few weeks ago she was
dreaming of millions of dollars which
did not seem so far away, and she
told reporter who called at her
little home on Eleventh street that,
upon receiving her share of the
Browning estate, the first thing she
would do would be to 'rest up
while and then live her life out en-
joying some of the comforts she had
never been able to afford.
But the Browning millions are not

Thomas Browning, it will be re-

Texas a few years ago and to have
left untold millions made in oil. He
was supposed to be native of tho
Barnwell district of South Carolina,
and Mrs. Ready. a native of that
section, was led to believe by cur
rent reports and visits from attor-
neys that Browning was her rela-

SENATOR GEORGE
STATES ATTITUDE
ON TOW|VER BILL
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40S Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Follow-
ing receipt of many inquiries from
Georgia regarding his attitude on
the Towner- Sterling bill to create a
federal department of education,
Senator Walter F. George, of Geor-
gia has issued statement here
explaining his present inclination to
support the bill.
Senator George says the bill has
not yet been perfected and reported
from committee, but as it stands at
present he does not find any inva-
sion of the educational rights and
policies of the sovereign states. II
the bill finally steers clear of I'M
due invasion Of the states, says Sen.
ator George, he will support it.
Senator's Statement
"The bill proposes to create a de-
partment of education, to authorize
appropriations for the conduct of
said department. to authorize the ap-
preparation Of money to encourage
the states in the promotion and sup
port Of education.
"The bill does not provide any
standard or authorize the secretary
of education to prescribe any stand.
ard; on the contrary, it is provided,
with reference to each of the pur-
poses for which appropriations are
authorized, that, the state and To-
cal educational authorities Of said
state shall determine the courses of
study, plans, and methods of car
rying out the purposes of this sec
ton within said state in accordance
with the laws thereof

Meetings Planned
To Spur Interest in
Longer Lint Cotton

A series of farmers meetings in
north Georgia, in which a campaign
for longer lint cotton will be en-
phasized, are being planned. Along
with the longer lint movement the
best methods of boil weevil control
are to be emphasized.
The Georgia State College OF Ag-
riculture will take the lead in hold
ing these meetings and is planning
to cooperate with the Atlanta Com
mercial exchange, the Country
Bankers association, the state de-
partment of agriculture and various
other agricultural agencies in the
manner that the boil weevil cam
paign was conducted last year.
The meetings are being planned
for February, but the dates are to
be announced later from the college
of agriculture.
In the meantime the Atlanta Com
mercial Exchange has launched a
longer lint publicity campaign.
Posters, folders for letter inserts and
newspaper plate for use in weekly
papers are being employed as q
means Of arousing interest and to
direct the farmer to sources of good
seed. In this movement the local
bankers are being enlisted to han.
die the farmers orders for good seed.
In fact, the local bankers are looked
to for getting actual results from
the campaign.
A strong effort is to be put forth
to get farmers in each community
to organize and agree on only one
variety of cotton, that variety to be
one of those that will produce the
standard inch to an inch and one
sixteenth staple, for which north
Georgia can command premium of
one cent or more per pound.
In this way it is expected that the
short lint that has harmed the repu-
tation and market value of north
Georgia cotton can be driven out.

Harding Is Urged
To Lift Duty on
Calcium Arsenate

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Dr. Miller
Reese Hutchinson. director of the
American Cotton association cam.
paign for boil weevil control, sent a
telegram to President Harding urg-
ing the lifting Of the % per cent duty
on calcium arsenate, the anti-bolI
weevil poison, as a means of aug
menting the small domestic supply of
the chemical.
DR.. Hutchinson declared the domes.
tic supply was only 100000 tons,
while 265,OOO.OOO tons was said by
cotton growers to be needed to fight
the ravages of parasites. A large
foreign supply he said, was available
at prices the growers could afford to
pay, if the poison could be imported
duty-free.

TAX
COLLECTIONS POOR,
FULLBR|GHT SAYS

Ninety-three Georgia counties fail
ed to report a single estate for taxa
ton under the inheritance tax law
during the past year, and H. J. Full
bright, state tax commissioner, will
report to the legislature that the
law is not being enforced, according
to announcements made by him
Saturday.
MIR. Fullbright has just completed
his annual review of appraisements
as sent in by the ordinaries, and de-
clared that in his opinion the ordi.
naries are not properly enforcing the
statute.
"A number of counties which do
report should report more" he as
serted, "and some counties have not
reported anything in a year or more.
My personal opinion is that the or.
dinaries in a number of counties Ell.
Their are not thoroughly familiar
with the law or else are lax in it's
enforcement, and in my report to
the legislature I will bring that out. -
Only 81 counties reported collec-
lions of inheritance taxes, one col.
lection being the smallest and 80
collections the largest number re.
ported. The total number of estates
reported as taxable under the law
were $40, while in 1921 373 estates
were taxed in IS counties
Fulton led the state in taxable es-
tates, eighty having been reported,
Richmond was next with 35, while
Savannah was third with 25. Es-
tates reported from other large coun-
ties were: Bibb, Is; Muscogee, 70;
Spalding, 10; Troup, TO-; DeKalb, 9;
Clarke, S; Floyd, 4.
The largest estate taxed under
the law during the year was the
Dustin estate in Thomas county
From this estate $4,000 in revenue
was received by the state.
Decatur county, according to Mr..
Fullbright, has not reported a single
estate for taxation in three years.
In speaking of remedial measures,
Mr.. Fullbright said that the Iegisla
tcre had failed to take steps in that
direction. In 1920, he said, he urged
the legislature to provide for a field
agent, whose duties would be to visit
the various counties and keep an
eye on inheritances. The recon-
mendation was disregarded, but the
1921 legisla ture took @ step in that
direction by authorizing the hiring
of special investigators. Due to GER
tain specifications, however, that
step has proved to be a handicap,
and had been dropped because it was
not feasible, Mr.. FQllbright said.
The inheritance tax law was pass
ed in 191S,- and was amended in
1919. 1t is the amended statute
which is now in effect
