IT IS ILLEGAL TO BORROW.
Attorney General Glvee Important
Decision to Governor.
Attorney-General Hart has given
the opinion that It Is wholly beyond
the law for the governor to borrow
money for tho purpose of paying the
pensioners who were not paid for the
year 1905 before the pension fund was
exhausted, and these penelonert will
have to await the assembling of the
legislature In June, when an appropri
ation covering the deficiency In thle
fund, "125,000, will be made.
Attorney-General Hart gave thle
opinion, baaed on the code, which pro
vides that (200,000 can be borrowed
by tho governor when the funds In the
state treasury are at a low ebb, but
this Is not tho case at present. The
treasury has money, but the legisla
ture did not provide for an extra ap
propriation for this fund. The fault
lies with the pension fund, as It Js
Inadequate to meet the demands of
the pensioners.
The Tax Receiver Hat No Other
Choice—Will Be Held Accountable.
This year each taxpayer must swear
to bla returns.
Heretofore the tax receivers hare
been lax In requiring that tax payers
swear to the returns they make, but
thle year ComptroIWOenorklWrtEht
has Informed the tax receivers that
they will be held strictly to account
If the returns of any man are taken
without the oath being properly ad
ministered. The tax receiver who
falls to administer the oath Is guilty
of a misdemeanor, and th\> comptroll
er-general states that he will see to
It that he Is prosecuted lf|be falls to
comply with the law. B
The following Is the djmptroiler-
genoral's letter on the qaeilion:
-•This year I am going to Insist that
the oath be administered -he law
requires. The taxable property In
the state will be Increased by this
custom, for when a man takes an oath
he is not likely to dodge his tax. Tne
law requires it and strictly forbids
copying last year's returns/’
It Is probable that the tax receivers
will require the oath in every Instance
this year, as not one of them will de
sire to run the risk of prosecutton.
MADISON DEPOT BURNED.

Car of Valdosta Southern Alto.
The Valdosta Southern depot at

About 1 o'clock General Agent Mor
gan was called up over the long-dis
tance telephone and was Informed of

en with almost resistless fury against
the train which was standing on the
track there, consisting of a passenger
coach, a caboose and a freight car.
Those who first discovered the fire
say that It evidently started on. the
Inside of the depot, and was probably
fired by rats. The depot contained
quite a good deal of freight, all 'of
which was destroyed. /. v x

1904, this amount being the largest- (a
the history of the Dqtnpany, and qqe
billion dollars of insnranoo is now in
force upon its hooks. The Company
also paid to its policyholder? di
1904 over 013,000,000, which make:
total payments to policyholders up to
date over $99,000,000.
The Prudential has always had the
reputation of being exceptionally liberal
in the treatment of Its policyholders.
Every year the Company pays hundreds
of thousands of dollars in dividends end
and as additions to polities, whioh Wert
not stipulated In the contracts them
selves.
When changes are made la the policy
contracts wliioh mako for increased
liberality to tho insured, The Pruden
tial has always made theao concessions
retroactive wherever practicable, so that
holders of old polities may sooure these
benefits. Over $5,000,000 lias been
voluntarily distributed in this way to
holders of old polities.
A particularly interesting statement
is published this year. It shows that
the Company has aoonmnlated assets
amounting to over $88,000,000. of which
$18,000,000 Is surplus over all liabilities.
The liabilities are $75,000,000.
The character of the investments is
plainly shown to be of the highest pos
sible quality, and the margin of security
on loans, on bonds and mortgages, and
on collaterals is plainly shown and
