seeking rest.

fairs, he entered the first officers
training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,

tain of infantry.

La, until after the armistice. Then he
returned to Greenville and resumed his
law practice.

studied law while earning his living as
school teacher
He was a member of the Methodist
| Church and various fraternal orders.
Surviving are his widow and two
children.

When leaving they stated they
would return in about two weeks
and if weather permitted would
devote at least one day to securing

Thase, he said, had been seized
and the matter repOrtd to ITALIA

the machines had been returned

Automatic machines are requir-
ed to pay a license of $62.25, Mr.

is fer state license, SIS for county

VARIOUS PETITIONS
In OPPOSITION TO
TAX ON GASOLINE
MANY INTERESTED PERSONS
TO ATTEND COUNCIL MEET
ING TO BE HELD THIS AFT
ERNOON TO DISCUSS ISSUE

Directors to the proposed tax
on gasoline and lubricating oils
have engendered feeling of OPP
position among Key Westers,
which will be evidenced this aft
ernoOn when a number of signed
petitions will be presented to
council meeting to be held in city
hall, it is said.
Since the first meeting was
held at which the proposed ordin-
ance was passed on its first read
ing, this tax has been discussed
by filling station operators, con-
sumers and wholesale dealers, and
representatives of oil companies
have arrived here to assist in or
ganizing concerted movement
to have the council, if possible,
decide to not put the ordinance in
effect.
Dealers. both retail and whole
sale, have investigated the ramifi-
cations of the ordinance and one
wholesale dispenser of lubricants
and fuel, yesterday told The Citi-
zen that had this ordinance, as it
now stands, been in effect since
January l, his company would
have, to date, paid $1,070 to the
city.
However, he pointed out, the
company would not have been the
sufferer. IS the purchasers of the
produce would have paid the tax
as the company would have been
unable to sell only at a loss if it
had been forced to pay the tax,
and this no company will do. he
said.
In his opinion the pressure
which is to be brought to bear on
council at the meeting this after
noon will bring about a drastic
modification of the tax as propos-
ed in the ordinance, or, possibly,
decision to let the matter rest
altogether

MARLIAT RIFLE
RANGE MISSING
NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO
is RESPONSIBLE FOR
ITS REMOVAL

Gradually the mari pile being
used as butts on a private rifle
range in Key West is disappear
ing, but who is responsible, no
one seems to be able to determ-
inc.
The range was established on
property near a dairy on the
county road by the 'SouthernmOst
Rifle Club. The land is owned
by J. Otto Kirchheiner who, by
the way, has given the club and
its members, and no one else, per-
mission to use it.
Be that as it may, says Howard
England, about two truck loads
have disappeared from the butts.
Those responsible are guilty of
trespass and also the removal Of
property. 4

CASE OF S. WILSON CHARG.
ED WITH RECKLESS DRIV.
ING WAS MOL PRESSED

In criminal court this morning
the case of S. w. Wilson, charged
with reckless driving. was at the
request of County Solicitor Allan
B. Cleare, Jr., mol pressed by
Judge J. Vining Harris.
Mr.. Cleare advised the court he
had investigated the matter and
was convinced that the evidence
which the state could produce
would be insufficient to secure a
conviction.
Kenneth Allen and Frank Thorn
as. two colored youths, were ar
raigned and pleaded guilty to
gambling.
They were severely reprimand-
ed by the court and told sentence
would be suspended pending their
good behavior. But in the event
they were arrested again for a
misdemeanor they would be SEN
fenced on this charge without the
formality of trial.
