Taxation Again
We hear the cry of high taxes
so much that sometimes it is well
to look around and see
our burden is really so hard and
heavy, or whether it is lighter
tliau others that are just as good
as wo. For this reason tli Sen
tmel clips an article of news from
the Punta Gorda Herald. Puuta
Gordft vroiua. is in m . i Deota County, j > the
greatest orange hearing county
now in the State of Florida. . The
people there on progressing and
ate not behind, in public education
They are about on a par with our
people. They live better than we
live. And yet they pay the fol
lowing high taxes.
This Year’s Tax Rate
“The county commissioners, at
their meeting last week fixed the
followiug rates for the lux levy of
1907: General revenue 2 mills,
road 7, line and forfeiture 2,
school 7—total 18 mills.
“To this add 8 mills on property
in school sub-districts and 71
mills for State taxes, aud we have
a total of 28| mills that must be
paid on property outside of incor
porated towns. The incorporated
towns of the county levy an ad
ditional tax of 15 to 20 mills:)
hence property ’. owners there will
be taxed for . this to the I
year ex
tent of over 4 per cent on the val- j
ue of their [.roporty.
“But, of the total tax levy,
third is for the maintenance
public schools and roads.
“It was hoped that the
in the county’s taxabl vn 1 ties
would enable the conntv commis
eioiiers to make a material re
dticuou iu the tax rate, but in
crease of wealth always brings
creased demand'.—Puuta Gorda
Herald.”
We grumble at tho 1% we pay
here in Wayne County. The peo
pie 400 miles south of us are pay
ing over 4%. What howls we
would have here if such
were imposed 1 ! This should be an
object lesson on the question ot
school taxation by paying 1 % to
carrv •j on our countv - government
and build up one of the huest sys
tems of schools iu the world.
Think how easy it is to do a great
work here bv taxing ourselves
Jv one-fourth of what the people
above referred to have to pay.

th-t other sections are showing,

gain for the year of $100,594.00.
The returns for 1900 were $2,538,

The interest that Wayne Conn*

: proper organization, shows that
i they have due appreciation of the
importance of their position and
condition. The section iii which

ple here will always feel that they
have a most substantial backing
in the production of this staple.

Gowns From the Undertaker’*.

you," said a man who knows, “but it's
a fact that dressmakers sometimes
send to a fashionable undertaker for
a gown when they have a hurry order,
There was a time when undertakers
carried only shrouds in stock, but in
this ago of luxury the big concerns
have a lino of what are known in the
trade as 'ladles' fine burial dresses.’
Such wateri,,ls as henrietta. pongee,
faille and chiffon taffeta are used for
these dresses, and they are made in the
prevailing style. The dressmakers

Notice to Merchants
To whom it may concern :
Many letters coming in to the
Department of Agriculture from
country merchants, grocers and
others make it evident that many
have misunderstood the law, and
have not yet cleared their shelves
of all goods which may possibly
not comply with the requirements
of the new Food and Drugs Act of
Georgia, which became effective
August 1st.
Iu order that we may work no
hardships on auy one, ve advise
that all such goods be disposed of
promptly, and that in the future
our home merchants enter into no
contracts and purchase no goods
without specifying and requiring
that they he guaranteed by the
seller under thq National and
Slate Food and Drugs Act.
After the first day ot October
,ve shall expect to find every one
prepared to meet the most rigid
requirements of the Law.
Very truly yours,
T. G. Hudsau,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
