Georgia Press Talk.

The MOuItrie Observer has found some
thing else that can be taxed, and suggests
that tax of l cent be levied on each shell
sold and an annual tax of S. on each gun.
The Moultrle paper, commenting on the Spe-
cal privileges the huntsment enjoys under
the Georgia game laws, says:
The fellows who operate the guns
and dogs are an easy going bunch. 1t
is nothing to them to spend money free
ly on their favorite sport. Would they
not be willing to contribute something
to the state that is so careful to safe
guard the game and give them monop-
oily on it? One thing that would stand
in the way of getting such tax is the
fact that the men who carry the guns
and follow the dogs are big, hale, hear
ty and red-blooded men, The legisa-
ture prefers to get money from the pale
faced working women who go to the drug
stores for soft drinks, the thin-faced
boys who buy cigarettes.
Uncle Billie" Hammock preacher, farm
err and legislator and widely-known and below
ed citizen of this section, at 81 years of age
is setting an example for doing things" that
should be an example for doing things that
should be an inspiration to men who are
much younger. Says the Edison News;
Rev. W D. Hammack made seven
bales of cotton on twelve acres this year,
ana states CndJ IL was pICheu anu SlLilcu
in September and the stalks cut before
October. and it is known and Mr.. Ham
mack did most of the actual work in the
cultivation of this crop, and also made
about $50 bushels of corn. He did not
use any poison, but fought the weevils
with rapid cultivation. Nothing so re-
markable in this, you will doubtless say,
but when you remember that Rev. Ham
mack is 80 years old it makes us young
fellows who are always finding some
thing to grumble about feel like rolling
up our sleeves and getting busy. Of
course all cannot do this WELL but We
can do whole lot better than we have
ever done, if we will get at it.
Editor Davis wants to be shown the bene-
the recent session of the legislature. He
voices his skepticism as follows in the Thorn
fits that were derived by the taxpayer from
asville Press:
The extra session of the legislature
has performed a miracle if one swallows
the dope some of the leaders of that body
is handing out They tell US the states
revenue has been increased about $4-
600, 100000 and it is to cost the taXpay-
ers not one cent in raising that amount
Who are the taxpayers and who will pay
this extra four million into the state
treasury"

Less than one-half of one-per cent carbon

If congress should adjourn without action
we are in condition to move along as we
have been moving since the last congress
adjourned 1t will be fine thing for the
country if nothing were done in the way Of
national Legislation aside from passing the
necessary appropriation bills The promise
is for do-nothing congress, due to the fact
that the so-called "progressives" in the SEN
ate are in a position to block constructive
legislation. Fortunately, we are in posi-
ton where such action will do little harm.
In other words there is little chance that
congress will upset anything.

GRAND CANYON
P ARK STOCKED
WITH ANTELOPES

Twelve young antelope have been
introduced into the Grand Canyon
national park by the department of
the interior with the cooperation of
the bureau Of biological survey. They
have been released on the Tonic pla-
teau, down in the canyon.
This experiment is particularly in
teresting because it has some new
features. Forty antelope fawns were
taken Immediately after birth from
herds in the state of Nevada and
were placed in an enclosure on the
state game preserve until they were
old enough to be shipped. They were
removed from the herds to the game
preserves in gunny sacks and raised
on a bottle, several mich COWS being
kept there for that purpose. Six of
the fawns injured or killed themselves
in captivity, but thirty-four survived
in fine condition.
At the age of three months, the
diet of the young antelope was grad
ually changed to grain and corn. AT
ter they had been entirely weaned
from the use of milk they were split

Telephone Company Is

One of the most sensitive gauges of

month to month. The telephone com

That business and population in
Winslow is steadily and rapidly on the
increase is reported by Manager w.

exchange. Additions are being made
regularly to the already long list of
subscribers, and the facilities of the
exchange are taxed to the utmost. A
new switchboard has been ordered in

can be added to the present switch
board capacity. The new unit will

Stork Beat Automobile
In Race Last Sunday

Mr.. and Mrs. George Elliott's little
son came to them Sunday afternoon
while they were driving from Grand
Canyon to Flagstaff.
They were coming as fast as George
could make his Ford go, in an endeav-
or to beat the stork here. But he
overlook them 25 miles north of
Maine and nearly so miles from Flag
staff
They kept on coming. Two broken
springs, then flat tire didn't halt
them for moment. Near Maine their
car collided with a tourists heavier
car. The Ford was thrust sideways
across the road, but George kept it
coming along. A wheel whirled off
the other car, but that was unimpor-
tant, compared to what George had
on his mind.
The little one was wrapped in a
blanket, but was pretty cold when the
family arrived in Flagstaff in the
middle Of the afternoon. Mother and
son are at Ed Polson's house and are
doing very nicely despite the ordeal.
