LIGHTNING RODS
ARE NOW TURNING
TO WORMS

Gentle reader have you noticed
that lightning roads, once so plenti-
full in this section are rapidly disap-
pearing? such is the case, we are in
formed; and it is doubtful if the
average citizen knows why.
According to the officers of the
law the Volstead act is responsible
for this. Lightning. rods consists
principally of small copper pipes,
which ingenious individuals DESTROYS
of profits by pandering to the per-
verted lasts of those who hope the
country will never ego dry" have
found they can be neatly converted
into worms to be used in distilling
corn and other products.
Sheriff Taylor says lightning rods
in this country are few and far be-
tween. The inference is that the
manufacture of white lightning" by
the use of lightning roads sounds
very appropriate, doesn't it?) il

A number of the young women
also could not swim and in saving
the young women, according to re-

TAX RETURNS
SHOW LOSSES
Of 16O Georgia Counties But
80 Report Increases, Full
bright Announces.

Of the Georgia counties making
returns of the taxable property for
1928, 1913 showed losses under the
returns for last year, while only so
showed increases, according to a
formal statement issued by Tax
Commissioners Henry ]. Fullbright.
The losses says the statement, ag-
gregated $25,628,G111, and the State
Tax Commissioner ordered further
decrease in one of them of 10 per
cent on lands amounting to $780,
522, and 10 per cent increases in
three others amounting to $847,174,
so the final decrease in the 1913 coun-
ties was $24,918,259.
The increases in the 32 counties
aggregate $2O.9OS,876, so that the
net loss in the state is only little
over $4,OO0,O0O, and the final figures
from Dougherty will reduce this a
little. The loss in 1922 was $74,-
100000 and in 1921 $79,OOO,0OO.
After his round of conferences
with the tax officials in the cary part
of the year the State Tax Commits
sioner advised the Governor and
Budget Commissioners that tax val
ues would be substantially the same
this year as last, expecting the gain
in the cities to Offset the losses in
some of the country sections. Every
one of the five counties showed in
creases except Chatham.

EFFICIENT SERVICE
RENDERED BY
RAILROADS

The two outstanding features OF
the transportation situation at the
fpresent time are the facts that the
railways rendering to American
business more efficient service than
at any time in the history of the
country, and are accomplishing this
achievement at costs to the travel
ing and shipping public lower than
prevail anywhere eles in the world.
These statements are made in re-
view Of the transportation situation
by W. A. Winburn, President, Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company.
Mr.. Winburn points out that this
year the railways are expanding for
equipment, additions and improve
mcnts the enormous sum of $780,
100000. He declares that freight
rates are not out of line with com
modify prices, inasmuch as rates are
now so per cent higher than in 1918
while the everage wholesale price of
all commodities is 81 per cent higher
than in 1913. Moreover, last year
while commodity prices were in
creasing, freight rates were reduced
13 per cent. Mr.. Winburn asks if
any other large American industry
reduced to the consumer the cost of
its product in 1922.
He declares that the future de-
velopmcntq of transportation hinges
upon the ability of the railways to
secure sufficient capital to keep pace
with the business demands Of the
country and asks for a fair trial of
the present Transportation Act for
a reasonable length of time under
normal conditions.
Attention is directed to the fact
that despite widespread public be-
lief there is no per cent "guaran-
tee" Of railway earnings, but that
the law on the contrary limits the
earnings of transportation COM
panies without making up deficits.

I'm MEMORYOF
MIR. WILLAVRETT

On Thursday morning September
6, God in his infinite Wisdom saw
fit to send the Angle of death to
earth to reclaim the soul of Mr..
Will Avrett.
Words are inadequate to express
our regret and deep sorrow that
God has transplanted from earth to
Paradise SO fair a flower. His
generous heart sustained the sweet
spirit that bear within His aimable
disposition endeared him to all with
whom he came in contact and he
has doubtless received from the
omnipotent hand of our Creator a
crown of unequaled brilliancy.
Over his grave the silver moon
will hover like a beautiful spirit
and the little stars will sparkle like
myriads of lanterns in azure blue.
May God bless and comfort the
loved ones.
"Cling tightly to the cross, we
loved ones,
One more look on that face divine.
You will them find strength to
bear your cross,
And say thy holy will-not mine.
There in the glorious sunset,
AS golden beams come streaming
down
His noble work here is ended,
His cross is exchanged fer the
crown"

FREE TUITION
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

l have been asked by a number
of patrons of public schools as to the
right of trustees of the school to
charge and collect any money from
1.-THE patrons for tuition, incidentals
fees or any other charges, and by
request / am submitting the law
as applies to the schools:
Code of Georgia, Section 1909,
says, "That admission to all the
schools of the state, the tuition shall
be free between the ages of six and
eighteen.
This law applies to all schools
where the town ar city receives
money from the State, or by local
taxation.
The Supreme Court has decided in
the case of Ives VS.. Greyary SO
Georgia Reports page COS, that no
school supported by the State or To-
cal taxation can charge or collect
entrance fee, incidental or tuition
from its patrons.
This is affirmed in the case of
Edlgo VS.. Southern Ry. 1875 Ga. Re-
port page 266.
In the cese of the board of educa-
ton VS.. Price 101 Ga. Rep. p, 426,
municipal schools must. be free to
all children who may enter the same.
This is affirmed in the cese of
Wilson VS.. Stafford 1873 Ga. Rep.
asa.
Also affirmed in the case of
Brewer VS.. Riley 149 Ga. Rep. 500,
and this affirms the case of the City
of Gainesville VS.. Simmons SO Ga.
Rep. ATT.
While it is not criminal to charge
the tuition, in asking the charge the
trustees violate a moral law.
Schools authorities under the law
have no right to pay out any of the
money received from the state or
municipal taxes for salaries for
themselves or the secretary and
treasurer.
If the patrons of the school has
paid the tuition incidentals or adj
mission fees, the trustees can be
made to refund it, and they are
personal liable.
If they refuse to receive the
children without the fees being paid,
then a mandamus against them will
COMPEL them to admit the children
to school.
Where there is consolidated
schools and they furnish convey
ances to carry children to the
school, they must see that every one
is furnished with conveyance, and
failure to do so the county school
superintendent can be enjoined from
paying any money received from
the state for the schools.

WILLYS-KNIGHT AND
OVERLAND CARS ARE
REDUCED IN PRICE
WHY'S Announces Many
Improvements in 1924
Models.

Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 25.--John n.
WHY'S, president of the Willys-Over-
land Company, Toledo, Ohio, caused
a furore in automobile circles by his
announcement of immediate price re-
auctions and great improvements in
the 1924 Willys-Overland lines.
This action embracing drop in
price on the Willys-Knight touring
car and roadster models from S1235
to S1175, (. o. b. factory, and on
the Willys-Knight coupc-sedan from
$1505 to $1,000, came as distinct sur
prise to the automobile industry airs
motoring public In view of the advance
in price made by not a few manufac-
turers in announcing their 1924
models.
The new values in Willys-Knight
and Overland cars are the direct re-
suit of the wonderful sales and pro-
duction records made by the WHY'S
Overland Company this year, eclipsing
any previous period in its history,
which determined the officials of the
company to share with the public the
appreciable saving in costs made pos
sible by an enormous increase in
business.
Mr.. WHY'S added that in every de-
tail all the advantages of the WHY'S
Knight car have been retained, while
improvements have been added, max
ing this car. powered with the famous
Willys-Knight sleeve-valve motor, a
bigger value than ever before.
This announcement has great sig
nificance because it marks new val
uation record for automotive products
in the face of a generally rising mar
ket in raw materials.

But Caravan Members
Have Good Time.
STEINHARDT Is HOST

Medina Lake, famed all over the
country for its fishing, bathing and
boating, was visited last Sunday by
The Light automobile caravan as a
part of its See Southwest Texas
First" campaign. The caravan Sun
day was joined by a record number
of motorists, nearly go cars being
counted in line, carrying what was
estimated TO be from 1850 to 1900
persons An Essex car, furnished by
William Steinhardt of the Crockett
Automobile Company, led the way.
Due to the failure of many of the
contestants to put in their appear
ance-probably because of the threat
ening weather-the bathing beauty re-
yue, which was to have been one of
the main entertainment features, was
not held, to the great disappointment
of a large number Of the motorists.
Then, for some unexplainable reason,
refreshments did not show up. Other
wise, the program was carried out as
announced and motorists as q whole
had a good time.
Leave at 3.
The caravan left San Antonio at
o'clock from the Crockett Automo-
bile Company building, Romano and
Oakland streets. 1t arrived at Chrys-
