Sisk Is Reinstated
on Tax Equalization
Board After Hearing
Proved to Court’s Satisfaction That
He Is a FreeHolder—Began His
Work with Board on Monday
G. W. Sisk, whose place on the
board of county tax equalizers was
declared vacant by the hoard of coun
ty commissioners, took the matter to
superior court, aud in the hearing be
fore Judge Tarver Saturday, he was
re-instated as a member of the board,
entering upon the work of the board
when that body met Monday.
The county commissioners, in look
ing over Air. Sisk’s tax returns, failed
to find where he had returned any real
estate, and held that he was not a
free-bolder, and. consequently was dis
qualified for service.' Air. Sisk main
tained that he was a free-bolder; but
the hoard would not go further into
the matter.
In the hearing before Judge Tarver,
he showed to the satisfaction of the
court that he was a free-holder, as he
l)roved part ownership in a farm all
of which his son gave in for taxation,
and that, as part owner, he paid part
of the taxes on the farm.
The board of county commissioners
has no right to remove a member of
the board, that body’s power being
limited to electing persons to fill va
cancies on the board. In order for a
man to be removed, it is necessary
that as many as ten land owners sign
a petition seeking to remove a man
from the hoard, the matter to be heard
in superior court.

From 1 to 3 o’clock next Sunday aft
ernoon, committees from the First
Alethodist church will canvass the
membership in the Christian Educa
tion campaign, and it is hoped to
raise the church’s quota of $10,000 in
the two-hours’ time.
Wednesday night of this week, the
members of the committee are expect
ed to meet at the First Alethodist
church to map out the plan of action,
so that every detail will be worked out
by the time the actual canvass starts
Sunday afternoon.
The Christian Education movement
was inaugurated for many purposes,
one of which is to secure a large sum
of money to devote to the cause of
Christian education. All Alethodist
schools and colleges will share in the
fund.
The First church. Dalton, has been
asked to raise $10,000 of the $33,000,-
000 fund to be raised by the Southern
Alethodist church. This appears to be
a large sum; but when it is considered
that the ones who contribute have five
years in which to pay, it is not so
large an undertaking to put through.
Those who contribute have" until
1924 to make the first payment", if they
so desire. At that time, the Centen
ary Movement contributions will all
be in. Alany, however, will want to
pay their entire contribution at one
