Rev. J. Sprole Lyons, D. D., Of the
First Presbyterian Church, of Atlanta,
| and chairman Of the Georgia Commit
tee, spoke Of the many vacant pulpits
in the Presbyterian churches in Geor-
gia and in the four other synods sup
piled by Columbia Seminary; said that
this was due largely to the fact that
these synods were too far removed
from the theological seminaries OF the
church; said that young ministers in.
variably accept charges near where
they have graduated; and that there
was an urgent need for Columbia in
Georgia, where It would be strategy

TIME EXTENDED ON
1919 TAX REFUND

Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-Legislation
in connection with the 1924 Revenue
Act, signed recently by President
Coolidge and already law, is of far
reaching importance to all business
interests, according to Frank Hemp
stead, counsellor in taxation, of At
uanta and Washington. The new
law, commonly known as House Re-
port 1890, was sponsored by the
American Bar association.
Under the old acts in force, Mr..
Hampstead shows, March IS of the
present year would have been tlle
last day on which claims for refund
for the year 1919 could have been
filed with the treasury department at
Washington.
1t has developed in the past two
years that a great many taxpayers,
for various reasons, largely overpaid
the amount of original taxes due for
the year 1919, as well as other taxes,
brought about by decisions which
have pointed out the erroneous pro-
cedure and Interpretation adopted by
the commissioner in disposing of tax
claims.
AS aresult of the new law, Mr..
Hampstead says, taxpayers will be
enabled to secure additional time in
which to file their claims for refund
for the year 1919, provided they file
on or before June 18th, 1925, waiver
in respect to taxes for the year 1919,

SOUTH GEORGIA
DOUBLING TO-
BACC0 ACREAGE

Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-Georgia
is doubling its tobacco acreage this
year and will have good many more
markets than operated last year. Doug
las, Vidalia and Valdosta are build
ing tobacco warehouses and are get
ting ready to handle more tobacco
than ever during the approaching
season. Triton had two large tobacco
warehouses in operation last season
and will have three this season.
The territory west of Triton and
Valdosta-Southwest Georgia-which
had only one market last year, will
have several markets this year, prac-
tically every community of any size
in this territory having made arrange
n,ents to open amarket this season.
The dates for opening the tobacco
markets are fixed by the Tobacco
Buyers association, which meets ear
ly in the summer. Last season the
Georgia and South Carolina markets
were operated at the same time and
other markets followed in succession
1t is supposed that the same plan
will be followed this year, though no
thing definite will be known about the
dates until they are fixed by the assoH
citation.
The cornerstone of a new tobacco
warehouse was laid recently at Alma
Ga. The occasion was marked by spe-
cial exercises, speech making and
barbecued dinner Two thousand acres
of tobacco were grown in Bacon coun'
ty last year, and it is probable thai
the acreage will be increased to three
thousand this year New curing hous
es are going up throughout the coun
ty, seed beds are green with the
plants and the farms are being pre-
pared for the crop.
