At the same time Uncle Sam will

Two thousand trained investiga-

Work of compiling the income tax

them public on September l. With
this task finished the collectors be-

The internal revenue bureau now

This army Of sleuths will compare
salary lists with returns made, ex-

During the fiscal year ended June

tax rate has been lowered since tbs

will be made to equal the amount
this year by rounding up more

at Columbus and had intended rid

so much about the land Of flowers

pie were making that we thought we

Charges Arise From Death of

WRIGHTSVILLE, Aug. 17.-Tbc
case of c. G. Rawlings, charged
with the murder of G. A. Tarbutton
on February II, was called in John
son county superior court at &c
o'clock this morning. Judge Ear
Camp of the Dublin circuit, presid-
ing.
Six panels of jurymen have been
drawn for the trial and many wit
nesses have been summoned for both
sides. 1t is anticipated that the tria
will take up most of the week.
Rawlings and Tarbutton were
business partners in big farming
operations in johnson and Washing.
ton counties and also had many 9th.
er enterprises. On the date of kill.
ing they were ostensibly on trir
on the outskirts of this county, pros
pecting for bauxite. With then
were J. J. Tanner, overseer, and {
negro.
Passing down a ravine, Tarbut
ton, who was leading the way, was
shot and killed, the shot being fired
from a gun carried by Tanner, who
was Immediately behind him. Tan.
ner contended that it was an acct
dent. Tanner was convicted, how
ever, and is now under life sent
ence, though his case has been car
ried up to the supreme court o.
Georgia.
Rawlings insisted upon being triet
separately; then he sought change
of venue, the latter being denied.
The state contended at the trial o
Tanner that Tarbutton was kille'
through a conspiracy to collect large
sums of money in insurance upol
Tarbutton's life. Much of this in
surance was made payable to Rawl
ings. The insurance, with double
indem nifty features, ran to abou
$300,000.
Rawlings was for years promi
nent in business and agricultural af
fairs of Washington county. HI
was at one time banker.
Since the Staying of Tarbuttoi
and since the arrest of RawIing
and Tanner, civil actions have beel
instituted in the courts, resulting il
receivership for all Rawlings prop
critics. Some of the insurance com
panies have refused to settle; 9th
