DECISION MADE
Judge W. F. Eve Believes That Geor
gia Railroad Back Tax Litigation,
in All Phases, Nearing End Success
ful to County.
There has been enacted another
chapter in the famous Georgia rail
road. Richmond county back tax case
and the latest is the decision, already
detailed in The Herald’s telegrams,.iwf
Judge Pendleton, of the superior
court in Atlanta, and this decision is
in favor of Richmond county, and Is
a ruling on the mandamus proceed
ings brought by several of the coun
ties along the line of the Georgia rail
road-
This does not mean that the case
is settled, and that this county gets
the money in back taxes, for, as Judge
Eve said yesterday, the mandamus
proceedings will now probably go to
the supreme court, and the main fight
between the railroad and the coun
tv is a matter that the supreme tribu
nals of the country will have to de
cide.
However, the decision of Judge Pen
dieton is a step in the line of victory
for Richmond county.
Judge Eve said yesterday that he
expected that the main issue in the
case would he decided in a few
months.
As to the amount, that the railroad
is alleged due, the following figures
are approximate;
State (past executions) *117,000
Richmond county 103,000
Board of Education 5,500
City of Augusta 231,000
Total *506,000

S.S.S, MRELYYtCtHIIE
The fact that S. S. S. is a pnrely vegetable preparation, containing not
the slightest trace of mineral in any form, has been one of the strongest
points in its favor during its forty years of existence. It is recognized
everywhere not only as the best of all blood purifiers, but the one medicine
that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest
member of the family. Next in importance to removing the cause of any
disease is the condition in which the system is left after a course of medical
treatment. Medicines containing mercury, potash or other strong mineral
ingredients often do permanent injury by eating out the delicate lining and
tissues of the stomach, producing chronic dyspepsia, unfavorably affecting
the bowels and so damaging the system that even if the original cause of
the disease has been removed, rt is left in
such a deranged and weakened condition that $| 000 REWARD

entirely of roots, herbs and barks it is absolutely
harmless to any part of the syste-n, and while curing disease adds strength
and health to every part of the body. S. S. S. removes all poisons, freshens
and purifies the blood and gives better and more lasting results than any
other blood medicine. S. S. S. is the very best treatment for Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison
and all troubles due to an impure or poisoned blood supply. Besides being
the King of blood purifiers S. S. S. is the best and most invigorating of all
UmiC THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COATLANTA, CA,
case of the mandamus brought by
Greene and other counties along the
iine of the Georgia railroad is as fol
| lews;
i “The stock in question, although in
: tangible personal property, had a
situs, situation or location for taxa-
I tlon in Richmond county, the domicil
i of the owner, which was not changed
iby the act of 1889. The legislature
had the right in the taxation of rail
roads to change it for the purpose of
taxation; but. not having done so, by
that act, as construed by our su
preme court, it is to be considered as
located property.”
The counties which brought, the
'mandamus proceedings are Greene,
| Taliaferro, Oglethorpe, Walton, Mo
| Duffle, Columbia and the towns of
j Union Point and Crawfordville.
They claim that, (he 16000 shares
of stock owned by the Georgia rail
road in the Western of Alabama rail
way, upon which taxes were due, hv
the supreme court decision, from 1895
.to 1905, was unlocated property—that
j is, was like rolling stock, and subject
jto taxation in every county or city
through which the road operated.
The court, however, decides that
ihe stock, although intangible person
al property, has a situs for taxation,
and that this situs is the county and
city in which the system is domiciled.

The family relationship between the

with the ambition to become governor
of Ohio, and the presence In the cahi

defined presidential aspirations, as

Gaiety.
Variety and spice have been added
to conversation this week, hv the re
port that Scoretnfy of State Etthu

the possibility of Secretary Tafts de

As the dining room has long been
regarded as a most excellent place to
sow seeds for official promotion, it is
not strange that so many wives of

Mrs. Storer's ambition to have her
husband transferred to Paris or to

only to her desire to secure the ap

her zealous endeavor to accomplish
both ends has resulted to the Midden
recall of Mr. Storer from Vienna, and 1
tha consequently abrupt cutting off
of her own social successes on tho

ing through the vista.
The center of the Taft, dinner table
was a geographic representation of
the island of Luzon, showing Manila
and the civilized northern part, in
i striking contrast to the southern or
! almost uninhabited part of the largest
of America's new possessions. At one,
end of the banquet hall the guests
entered via the improvised deck of
the good ship Manchuria and found all
kinds of baggage lying on "short."
The other end of the room represent
ed a group of Chinese pagodas over
which there was an Oriental sunrise
redolent with memories for those who
have seen the original scene.
