The company was organized Sept. 20th, and its stockholding agents have vied with one another from the very beginning tt» see which could send the largest amount of preferred business to the new company. The Gaorgla Fire has no agents who are not stock holders, and no stockholders who are not Insurance men, so that the Inter ests of the company and its agents are thoroughly Identified. New business has poured In at a nouttccd that the board of directors has authorized a most important step- the immediate doubling cf tno capital stock to $200,000. A meeting of the stockholders will be called by Presl dent W. J. Harris for this purpose In the near future. President Harris left Tuesday even Ing for a trip In the interests o # f the oompahy, and Secretary W. S. Cole man has been on the road for the past three weeks on a highly successful tour for the purpose of establishing new agendrs.

LARGE INCREASE IN’ VALI’EM. I Georgia’s Tax Returns Make Rig Gain Over Last Year. The total taxable value of i>r9i>- erty In Georgia for 1907 Is $099,530,- 879, an Increase of $72,004,340 over 1900, which will yield, at the rate of five mills, about $4,000,000 revenue from taxes. Of this total, $575,978,707 represents property returned on the tax digests, ami $123,558,172’the corporations. In the Increases, the largest part of It comes from corporations, the total this year being $32,715,985 mV.: than for 190*5. Some of this was secured by arbitrations, ai d . ome by volun tary action on the part or the cor porations. One striking feature of the fig ures Is the almost equal value of city and farm property. The aggregate* of wild and improved lands Is 35,940,196 acres, valued at $169,373,284. The ag- FOR MAYOR.

The convention of over a hundred unanimously endorsed the idea, and the opinion is that the bill now before Congress will be passed at the com ing session. This bill makes it pos sible to ship bundled weighing as much as eleven pounds by mall,where as the present maximum weight is four pounds. The cost per pound will be twelve cents, whereas It is now sixteen for merchandise. The great point in fq.vor of the pur ls post, as proposed in this bill,-is that the local merchants can deliver ;oods to their customers living on the rural mail routes at a cost of from to twenty-five cents, whereas they can not deliver them now at any price. It has generally been sup posed that the system would work greatly to the advantage of the large mail order houses in Chicago and New York against the local merchant, but idea is largely erroneous. A Chicago department store would have to pay $1.32 to ship an eleven pound package to a man living on a rural route from Cedartown, and at present the express companies carry the same packerci fer him. for about the dftme amount.

Notice is hereby given that the un dersigned has applied to the Ordinary of said county for leave to sell lands belonging to the estate of W. M.

Said ap plication will be heard at the reg ular term of the court of Ordinary for said county to be held on the Wide publicity is being given to Secretary Wilson’s statement regard ing the long foretold lumber famine. This famine is no longer an object of merely future dread; it is here. In Boston, says the Transcript, builders say It now costs 30 per cent more to build a frame house than it did six or seven years ago. Like con ditions doubtless prevail in other cit ies. A man in Washington bought a suburban lot and busied himself with plans for the house, allowing for an outlay within his means. As months passed, however, timber prices rose- and continued rising, thus necessita ting the drawing and redrawing of these plans on a constantly diminish ing scale, that they might be kept within the limits of expense originally fixed. Famine, of course, is a relative rather than an absolute thing. Food famines occur and recur in India. Their existence does not imply the total absence of food from a country, I but only its scarcity. In the worst famine some favored ones are as unconscious of existing conditions as was Marie Antoinette when she in quired why the people who could not get: bread did not,-instead, eat cake. Some go on short rations, some con- e for a time to keep bodj»and soul together, while multitudes perish out right. With the timber famine, the case is already similar. Men of am ide means can buy what they want. Inconvenience, however, is already felt; and, as wood becomes scarcer, more and more people will feel the pinch; more and more business will be hampered and. In greater or less degree, an effect similar to that ac companying a crop failure or a money panic will be felt. Save your young timber and plant trees. They will be of great value some time.

Mr. Lee is beloved by the entire district, and, from present Indications, It would seem that he will make the race with out opposition in the next election. Our present Congressman is for the people first, last and all the time, and will have little difficulty in being re elected, even if some one does come oat against him later.—Dalton CitUen. . F. CARMICHAEL, Admr, For estate of W. M. Jenkin3. Uncle Remus’s Magazine for De cember has several distinctly Christ mas features, beginning with a most appropriate editorial by Joel Chand ler Harris, which he calls “Santa Claus and the Fairies.” and in which he elaborates the need of a strong be lief in the Christmas Saint, as well as in other creatures of the imagina tion. For that Dull Feeling Afrer Eating I have used Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time,and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating.—David Free man, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They are far superior to pills but cost no more. Get'a free sample at Russell’s drug store and see what a splendid medicine it is. Godliness is of the heart, not of the mouth.
