SATOrtnAtf, OCTOBER
VALDOSTA,
|N case of your death would your son re-
* ceive the advantages of a liberal education?
There are now some splendid examples of
self-made men—men without a college edu
cation, but who attained their present high
position by careful application and hard work.
However, the era of the self-made man is
fast declining. The man with a college edu
cation now steps into the high salaried posi
tion, which would requite years of preparation
as a clerk or workman, to qualify the unedu
cated man.
T AKE out a twenty-payment policy with
the Empire Life Insurance Company, and
provide for your son a liberal education, that
will enable him to clirrib to the top of the
ladder of success. The cost to you of this
policy in the Empire Life is small—the bene
fit to your boy is incalculable.
The Empire Life will gladly give you full
particulars. Talk it over with the agent.

REGISTERED
Tax Pajlng arid
Opening np Very -Slow
Lowndes county voters are not
falling over themselves to pay their
taxes or register under the new
law, but they haven’t really ha^
time yet to get busy. The tax and
registration bookg were opened on
the first, as provided by law, but
up to today less than two hundred
dollars had been paid In, and not
more than a half dozen vothers had
registered.
Tax Collector Geiger, who has
’
been laid up at his home for five
weeks as the result of an eccideut,
had the books opened by his son
promptly on the first, and the
grating man started out on the
'pounds as published in The Times.
JL trip to Naylor was made and
ode also to Cat Creek, but very
few tax payers met the collector.
'Thb books were open at the court
house here on Saturday, but as at
the other places there was very
little doing. The tax collector Is
able to be UP now, and expects to
fill In person all of his appoint*
ments as scheduled.
Mr. Geiger says he finds that
great many tax payors are under
the impression that they must reg
ister when they pay their taxes, or
not at all. While it Is of course
desirable to have the registration
made at the time of paying taxes,
jCjjodojd o ji •XjosindraoD }on Tj
owner wants for any reason to send
his tax money In by a neighbor or
toy mall, he can do so and register
later On' (provided he'doesn’t fOi>
get it).. s
While the tax books are supposed ,
to be closed on the 20th of Decem
ber, It ha. been the custom hereto
fore to tacitly extend the time un
til after the lint of the new year.
It a tax payer neglect, to pay his
taxes until after the books
closed, and a Ufa 1. Issued against
him, he can still pay the cost of
.ihe Ufa and taxes and-he registered,
'that la If tie doe. so before the
first of April. After 1 then

The collector Is required to make
settlement with the comptroller-
general on the 20th of April, and

recommend this wonderful Remedy. I am now baying another
bottle and expect to keep a bottle of P. B. C. on hand for cases of
emergencies. Very Truly Yonrs S. WORTHINGTON.
