recently passed by congress will soon find that
experts" are their trail who will claim to know
all about how to get the money and get it quick
The proper way to treat such fellows is to tell

advice at 50 much per advice will not be necessary
You Can get this money yourself without the inter

Experts will besiege you on this point as we'll Pay
no attention to them. If you get snared up it will
be lot better to go to the office of the veterans
bureau, brush aside the fellows hanging around
the door and go to the desk and settle the matter

PORT BOOSTERS TO SHE'LL THE WOODS

Savannah, the conservative city by the sea, Of
ganized a statewide tour of its leading business
men to carry the message OF a state owned port
to the people of Georgia from the mountains to
the sea. We congratulate these people their
ally asks for the establishment of the port at its
water front.
Port facilities, such planned, of great
value to the manufacturing and agricultural in
of the state in that they provide re-ship-
ping facilities for the commodities produced in
excess of home consumption Fitzgerald is for
tunate in being the itinerary OF this missionary
tour and shall give them royal welcome when
they arrive.
The Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce
have arranged for special entertainment features
for the party on their arrival, which includes a
barbecue supper. Savannah speakers will be pres
ent to give full description of the port idea as
it affects the affairs of the interior country AS
the question Of bonds for port will finally have
to be submitted to vote of the people, this meth
cd of bringing the information to the voters is
commendable. We have listened to some of the
Savannah speakers this subject and know that
they are brm full of statistical information which
will be of value to the voters who are the final
jury, in making up verdict for this proposed
bond issue for port facilities There may be ques
ton OF location of the port in which thoughtful
men may differ, but when the proposition is un-
derstood it will be generally agreed that state
owned port is a good investment for the people
throughout the state, as well as the cities who NAV
compete for it's location.

OUR FLAG!-June 18th is National Flag Day.
1t seems peculiarly meet and right that day
should be set apart for the full significance OF
just what the Stars and Stripes mean to us to be
brought home with particular emphasis.
In the feverish haste OF this modern life
we are all apt to accept with easy complacency the
many unusual benefits that to units
of the most enlightened and the greatest nation
in the world of which the flag is the ever present
symbol,
While other nations are tottering and falling,
while anarchy, unrest and despair gripping
the hearts and minds of the citizens of less for
tunate countries, of this grand United States
are blessed beyond measure with glorious free
dom and untold and unlimited advantages and op-
portunities
To be real American, each Of us must fully
understand and appreciate his Government and
his flag. .,s..r T.. ..-,a...
1t is impossible for us to assume these duties
of citizenship unless we ourselves are permeated
with the splendid traditions OF the noble Flag
that is ours. %s 1zpr
! The honor and integrity of the United States
are in the hands Of its citizens and, recognizing
this unassaable fact, let this Flag Day in the
year of grace 1924, mark for each reconsecration
to the highest motives of service to Our great
country. cit each strive to work for his country
as he'd fight for it. Then nothing can ever dim
the glory of this proud flag Of otrs nor can it bre
vent our upward march to the attainment of the
highest aspirations in national life and unity,

4ssWQULDN'T 1T JAR YOU?-With great gusto
the ttnsricus correspondent of the State papers
haSabroadcasted the information that the commits
s3sioners, OF hse county have found way to beat
Stale ands HKrest of the counties out of their
SEasQlsnS Sa%es. To avoid paying the three-cent
gasoline tax for gasoline consumed by the cointy
forces, Sumter county is to import from other
States direct all of its gasoline to be used for
county purposes thus avoiding paying the State
tax, all of which is used for and in the interest of
all OF the people and all of the counties.
This is, perhaps, the first time that consti-
tuted authority has planned to beat the State and
counties out of their tafes and tho it NAV thought
very smart" trick by the commissioners of
Sumter, the rest of the State will view it as a
form of disloyalty, entirely out Of keeping with
the high standing of the people of Sumter.
We believe the commissioners will rescind their
action at the next meeting of their body, when
they realize the inconsistency of their act as they
are getting several thousand dollars annually from
the gasoline taxes of other counties whom thew
IN this disloyal way, attempt to deprive the rest
OF the State of, so far as their own gasoline pur
chases may apply.

Quite different is the spirit shown
within a day or two-compelling pic
ture houses with American films to
close, a rude interruption of week
ly social dance in which the majority
of participants were Americans, the
scene bordering on violence causing
some women to faint and all to flee so
fierce and denunciatory were the
speeches of the leaGers, the band num-
bering about 200 supposedly students,
also, but of different type and in

trade papers, periodicals and newspap-

Lost Land

Sumter county finds, on investiga-
ton, total of 1850 lost acres in the
tax returns. However, the investiga-
ton further pursued showed that
5000 acres of this missing land had
been embraced within the limits Of
incorporated towns and had been pro-
perly returned as city property. But
there still remains 10000 acrec upon
which no taxes have been paid in
many years. The one means of cor
rectonig this laxity in tax returns,
which is common to all the counties,
is to require each taxpayer to return
his land for taxation by lot and district
numbers and then to require the as
SCISSORS and collectors to check the
returns by these numbers, rather than
by name and indefinite limits.

Bathing Girl
Review

The astonishing thing about this re-
view was that it was featured by the
convention of Women's Clubs in Los
Angeles last Friday However this re-
view was not a spectacular event but
rather very serious discussion about
the evils of bathing girls revues and
other kinds of beauty contests. There
were resolutions passed deploring such
immodest display of physical charms.
Indeed the women of Atlantic City be-
gan such protest last year, being in
a location to see the worst of such
campaigns, as the board walk and the
beach at Atlantic City has in so mnay
instances been the scene of the ma
tional beauty contests. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that emphasizing beauty
of form to this extent creates false
standards of womanly attractions and
has distinct tendency to lower re-
spect for womanhood.

If we take the gineral average

they're voluble on some things,

plus of brains.

A Windfall for
Many


A recent decision of the U. S. ST.
preme Court against direct t"xation
and consequent resolution il the
Senate authorizes suits against the
government for direct taxes already
collected, and illegally so, by the pres
ent ruling, from many states just aft
er the war. The point in question is
that direct taxes from the states are
valid only if apportioned among them
eli and according to their population.
Hence the larger number of Southern
States, and also Massachusetts,, Ney
York and Pennsylvania are subject to
a repayment of these taxes. This reso-
luton also provides that the States
shall make their claims thru their
governor or other representatives and
then subsequent action may be taken
in each state to return the taxes to
the parties who paid them or their
heirs Or legal representatives. In Geor-
gia there was collected more than
$l1 100000 by a direct tax. 1t is sup
posed that not more than half of the
original taxpayers will make or prove
their claims. In that event the State
will retain the unclaimed amount or
approximately $5,000,000 of the re-
payment.
