A MODERN ROMANCE.
PatOOtle was grille.
OF nineteen years or 90.
She was the usual nRpper type,
Could neither cook NOR sew.
One day she met the only one,
He loved her from the start.
He soon gave her u plain gold band.
And she gave him her heart.
She had no time for cooking,
Twas spent at dances and shows,
So when restaurant meals come In
the door,
Love through the window goes.
And thus IL was they parted.
Gone was PatOOtie's bliss.
Because her hubby couldn't live
On Q sweet smile and O kiss.

UNCLE SAM WISHES
EUROPE TO PAY UP
EASILY CAN USE THE MONEY
OWED 1T BY NATIONS. TWO
BIG JOBS AT HAND.

Renewed efforts on the part of the
United States government to collect
some of the $11OOOO00,O00 owed it by
European nations will be made soon,
as a result OF the passage Of the SOL
der bonus bill In 1914, it is estimat
ed, the European debt under normal
conditions will have doubled itself, in
creasing to more than $4,000, 900, 000
In 1845 the government will be
called upon to take up the burden Of
the veterans insurance policies, in
volving an outlay of about $3,000,000,
900. At the same time billions of dol
lars in liberty bonds will mature
Against this day of financial reckon
ing there must be piled up a huge
surplus, and the eyes of officials are
turned hopefully toward Europe.
Only three nations have so far
funded their debts to this country
putting them on a basis of regular
payments. They are Great Britain
Finland and Hungary. Great Britain's
debt was 81, 100000 The others
were relatively small A semi-annual
interest payment of $69,000,000,000 is
expected from England in June.
The French, Italian and Belgian
debts constitute the bulk of the un-
funded indebtedness. Frances debt is
$4,063, 902,9227. Italy owes $2,056, 279,-
1913. Both of these debts were smaller
at the beginning, but unpaid interest
has sweled them In the case OF
France the debt has increased almost
a billion dollars.

M'ADOO Baked ON
PLAN FOR CHAIRMAN
BRENNAN ETOES KREMER
AS GAVEL WIELDER AT THE
NEW YORK CONVENTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Efforts OF
William G. McAdoo's friends to name
the permanent chairman of the dem
ocratic national convention, opening in
New York on June a. have been
blocked by George Brennan, of Hi
nois. with a demand for the selection
of Senator Thomas ]. Walsh, OF Mon
tana, it developed here "Wednesday.
The McAdoo candidate for the
craftsmanship is J. Bruce kremer, vice
chairman of the national committee,
whose home is in Montana.
The naming OF Kremer had been
considered certainty until Brennan,
who came to Washington to visit his
daughter, who is in school here,
found out what was going on and
promptly and effectively interviewed.
Brennan's determined opposition to
Kremer had not been anticipated by
the McAdoo men, including Judge
David L. Rockwell the McAdoo man
ager. who was OF the opinion that the
decision on the charmanship might
now be deferred until the national
committee meets on June 10 to make
final arrangements for the convention.

HOW YOU CAN GET
THE rs PER CENT OFF
OFFICIALS OF TREASURY Elk
PLAIN PROCESS FOR TAX
PAYERS. CAN'T LUMP 1T.

Treasury officials have explained the
method by which taxpayers can calcu-
late their next payments on June Is,
the new tax bill having been signed
by President Coolidge and is now
law
Instead of permitting the taxpayer
to take Is per cent reduction on his
1925 taxes in a lump by emitting the
Tune installment the new plan pro-
vides for scheme which will not
make a hole in treasury receipts at
this time. The method is as follows:
The taxpayer has the option OF
paying his taxes in full, and he did
so on March IS he will receive a cred
it of one-fourth If he pays his tax
es in quarterly installments he will
be allowed on his June Is payment. a
credit of one-fourth for that payment
and one-fourth for the payment he
made in March In other words, the
one-fourth reduction on 1928 taxes
will be allocated in four equal parts,
but in view OF the fact that the March
payment has been passed the taXpay-
er will get a credit OF two-fourths OF
his installment in June Thus a tax
payer who had a tax bill OF $1,000
to pay and who paid $4,000 on June
18th he will then be permitted to
deduct SIS for the payment he made
in March and SIS for the credit which
he is allowed in June, or a total de-
duction of $780, so that he actually
will pay only $3.50 in June. When the
September IS payment comes he will
deduct only SIS from his $500 bill; his
net payment will be $225. On Dec:
IS he will deduct the remaining SIS
so that his bill then also would be
$225. In this way the government per-
nits the taxpayer to take the full one
fourth reduction in four equal parts,
and the revenues coming into the
treasury are not seriously disturbed

Among southern states Georgia

exports. :,
Georgias total exports were valued
at S17. 900, a million dollars more
than Wisconsin's, two million more

than Maryland's. They gave Georgia
the lead over states that exported
$40 100000 or more in the three
months and over % that exported less
than S10,000,000.
Georeia's cotton exports were worth

WHITE MAN is HELD In JAIL
Dead Man Was Newcomer to That

Tohn Hampton, a white man about
20 years of age, was found dead, his
head having been crushed in probably

found nearby with blood and some
hair on it.
The hat of the dead man was first

and signs indicated that the body had
been dragged down the bank and the
body thrown in the river. The body
was recovered from the river.
d. Ned Green, a young white man
OF Oakfeld, is being held in jail at
Sylvester under a warrant sworn out
by the son of the dead man, charging
Green with murder. Green in an n
terview stated that he supposed that
he was connected with the crime on
account of his tracks being found
around the place, and his having been
quite nervous at the time the body
was recovered. He and another man

the body Green says he last saw

SUPERIOR COURT
JUDGES TO MEET
TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS
AND ADDITIONS TO RULES
OF PRACTICE.

Judge M. ]. Yeomans, of this cir
cult, has received notice of meeting
of superior court judges of Georgia,
to consider amendments and additions
to the rules OF practice in the superior
courts and inferior courts, exclusive of
justice courts 1t will be held in Allan
ia July l, pursuant to call issued by
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn, of Americas,
dean of Georgia superior court judges.
Under the law superior court judges
are empowered to meet at such times
as it may appear needful to consider
changes in the rules of practice in the
superior, city and county courts. These
rules are binding upon the conduct and
methods of counsel in such courts and
the general procedure in the trial OF
cases therein, just as though they
were enacted as law by the legislature,
though no rules can be made which
conflict with any statute governing
practice in these courts, it is pointed
out.
The last meeting OF the superior
court judges was at the state capitol
in 1910. when the rule, now in force
throughout the state, of allowing two
hours to side for arguments of coun-
sci to the jury in criminal cases and
one hour to a side in civil cases, was
promulgated. This rule is operative
subject to the discretion given judges
by law to allow a longer period OF
time. but no shorter period can be
enforced.
While the rules apply also to all in
ferior courts, except justice courts,
they are promulgated only by the SUI
perior court judges, it is said.
