Hidden Wealth of Georgia.
I There is now going up a
hue and cry about the hidden
of Georgia, which pays no taxes
1
the support of the government.
This is all stuff.
I There is very little property
Georgia that escapes taxation.
It is not that which is causing
! the trouble with us today.
It is the general shrinkage
taxable values, caused by the de¬
pressed and paralyzed condition
business, that has produced the
shortage of $52,000,000 in the tax
returns of the property in Georgia
during the past few years, and not
I because it has been hidden away
by the tax payers from the tax re
ceivers.
There may be some little person¬
al property hidden away from the
lynx-eyed tax receivers of Georgia,
which is not returned for taxation,
but that has always been the case,
and always will be, because it can¬
not be helped. We believe, as a
rule, the people of Georgia make a
fair and faithful return of their
property for taxation. II our tax¬
es were lower, and it did not take
so much of the income of property
to pay the taxes, there would be
far less inducement for the owner
to conceal a portion of his property
from the tax receiver.
The best and only remedy for
this, we think, is to cut down the
extravagant appropriations of the
legislature; reduce the expenses
of the government, and that will
reduce the necessity for high tax
es.
The solution of the whole prob¬
lem in its last analysis, is in a re¬
duction of the expenses of run¬
ning the government. It is all the
merest stuff to talk about reducing
our taxes as long as the expenses
of administering the government
go on increasing instead of decreas-
1
ng
Cut down the expenses.
That is the way to reduce our
taxes.
Gun Loaded—Finger Gone.
Mr. Joseph B. Lewis, Jr., was
the victim of a painful accident on
Thursday, which caused him the
loss of the little finger on his left
hand.
It seems he was out bird hunt¬
ing, about two miles east of Cov¬
ington, and had his gun on his
shoulder, with the muzzle in front,
and the end of his little finger, on
the left hand, inserted in the bore.
By some means the gun was fired,
and the load tore off the end of his
finger from the middle joint, blow¬
ing it entirely away.
The wound is a very painful
one, but is not serious.
It was a singular and thought¬
less way of carrying the gun, and
the accident might have proven far
more serious.
It is hoped he will soon be well
again.
Referee in Bankruptcy.
-
On Thursday Judge Newman, of
the United States court, appointed
Mr. A. . D. ^ Meadors, Ol Lovington,
a referee in bankruptcy.
The duties of the referee, as we

tigate and pass upon all cases in
bankruptcy that may be referred to
him by the United States court,
whether they are voluntary or in
voluntary.
Mr. Meadors is a young lawyer ot
fine judgement, and high integrity ,
and will discharge the duties
referee faithfully and well.
The STAR congratulates him
his appointment, and trusts he
have great success in the

Gun Loaded—Negro Dead.
A little negro boy, named Bar¬
tow Bell, was shot and instantly
killed, in Covington, by his com¬
panion, Willis Simmons, on Sat¬
urday night.
The shooting was accidental.
That is the verdict of the coro
ner’s jury.
It seems several boys had been out
hunting birds, and were coming
into town when the accident occur¬
red.
When they were in front of
Messrs. W. B. Lee & Co’s furni¬
ture store, the gun was fired in
some mysterious way, the load of
shot striking Bartow Bell in the
left side, causing his death in a few
minutes.
Bartow was only about ten or
eleven years old, and Willis, who
had the gun when it fired, is about
twelve.
The gun is a small, single barrel
shot gun, and the boys say Willis
had tried several times to fire it at
some birds, during the afternoon,
and that it snapped every time,and
would not fire.
What caused it to fire when it
did, cannot be learned.
When the gun fired, and Willis
saw his companion fall, he ran
home and told his mother about it,
and she brought him back up town
to see the officers.
He was placed under arrest by
the officers, but was released as
soon as the coroner’s jury returned
the verdict that the shooting was
accidental.

Club Notes.
By Club Reporter.
[Paper read at Columbus by the
delegate to The Georgia Federation
of Woman’s Clubs.]
The Covington Florieultural
Club was formed in April, 1895,
having as its sole object, the pur¬
pose indicated by its name.
It was quickly rooted in popular
favor, and its membership grew in
numbers, interest and devotion.
It has done its work well, reviving
where it had grown cold, the love
of flower culture, and inspiring it
where it had not before existed.
It is wholly consistent with sim¬
ple truth to say that its annual
flower shows have not been sur¬
passed in merit by those of any
similar society.
Not content, however, with so
limited a field of effort for our bet¬
terment, but not intending to slight
or abandon that which had yielded
to us so much of pleasure aud
profit, we decided, at the close of
last year, to enlarge our aims, and
in harmony with such design, to
change our name to that of the
«t Woman’s Club, of Covington,”
with all the good purposes, or near¬
ly all, which under conservative
interpretation, the name implies.
We had come to realize, as one
of the unities of the Federation,
that this is really a great time to
live in,when once we catch the cue
of it, and that to get even a few
flowers, one must sow plenty of
seed.
Since we became the Woman’s
Club, we have held regular week¬
ly meetings for consideration
discussion of literary topics of
ue and interest, current events
public pith and moment,
hold management, house furnish¬
ing and decoration, each meeting
enlivened by musical entertain¬
ment of our own rendering. We
are making fair progress in the ac¬
cumulation of a well chosen Club
Library, the special property of
the Woman’s Club.
Along the line of our florieul¬
tural department, we report, as
concluded, one of the most suc¬
cessful shows in our history, and
the further fact, in this connection,
that we are arranging with our lo¬
cal florist for ornamentation next
year of our public parks.
We do not regret our change of
name, with its broadening of pur¬
pose, and effort, but are much
pleased thereat, in the confident
expectation that we shall be more
useful in our times.
The next meeting of the club
will be at the residence of Mrs.
Eugene Eee, on Wednesday, at the
early hour of 2 o’clock p. m.
Three Prohibition Elections.
Bibb county will have an elec¬
tion on the prohibition question on
Thursday, December 1, 1898.
Walton county will have an elec¬
tion on the same question on
Thursday, December 15, 1898.
Coweta county will have an elec¬
tion on Wednesday, ‘December 14,
1898.
In Macon, the contest is already
at fever heat, and meetings are be¬
ing held every night. Sam Jones
is conducting the meetings, assist¬
ed bv Sam Small, Geo. Stuart, and
Mr. Murphey.
In Walton county the campaign
is more quiet, and the excitement
is not so great.
j n Coweta county, the campaign
is very quiet ' and ^ hear very ht *
tie from It. -
In Macon, both sides are work- I
ing hard to carry the election, and
both sides are likewise claiming
the victory. So far, the antis claim
to have the advantage.
In Walton the election will be
close, with the chances probably in
favor of the prohibitionists.

down to Wilmington, and investi¬

bad negro fired the first shot, in
the streets of Wilmington, and
mortally wounded a white man,
and started the riot at that place,
which resulted in the killing of
several negroes. The negroes gen¬
