L—-SiORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Coco Cola and Like Syrups Are tlo
Be Taxed $1,000.
Atlanta, Dec. C.—Very f«cv changn
were made by the house yesterday :n
the general tax bill, and only one
radical amendment was adopted. Ti.fl
bin was almost completed, lep/vlc j
but four or five mOTe sections to b«
passed irpon today.
The most Important change In U«
bill wn* the adoption of an amenl
n-.ent by I>r. Kelly, of Glascock, putting
a tax of $1,000 on the manufacture!
of coco cola and similar patentee
Boda fountain syrups, the Increase
having been made from 1300. tin
amount adopted the day before No
tax was put on bottling works.
The house taxed slot machines $2.10
and $5 each; mldwdy Bhows $10 pet
week each; cigarettes $10; detectlis
agencies $106; leaving practically
every figure tn the bill except tS.s
coco eola tax, lust as tt came from
the committee.
Another Important change made by
the house was the removal of sew
ing machine comimnles and aget is
from exemption from local taxation
which they have heretofore enjoyed.
The house voted down an amend-
mont to section 6, by Mr. Carrington,
of Madison, which proposed to malts
the tax on all Insurance eom-pandea 1
per cent on their gross reeetpts. In
stead of 1 pur rent as It fs a* present
It was shown that wHh the agency
tax and the tax on real and pereopal
property, the Insurance companies
were paying more taxes ffi GeoTgls
than was tne case In many othoi
states of the union. The section at
adopted requires all Insurance com pa
nies to pay a tax of 1 per cent on
their gross receipts. Mutual oo-opera
tlve or assessment fire companies art
exempted from this tax. Insurance
companies doing a brokerage buslnesi
or lending money are required to pay
a tax go their capital employed tin
same as Individuals. They must alsc
gay the usual ad valorem tax on nil
their real and personal property.
Presidents and general managers ol
all building and loan associations ar«
required by section 6 as adopted ip
return all the property of suetj aesocl
•tions to tax receiver® la their re
opectlve count be.
All foreign and home fidelity and
guarantee companies are required to
pay a tax of 1 per cent upon Unfit
gross receipts.
In the Senate.
Although a strong effort was made
yesterday to have the senate recon
sider its action of tjje previous day
In passing (he bill by Senate* Cl*
menta to continue the present convict
lease system, the upper Ijoute, by a
vote of 25 to 11. decline* to reowls
from Its action.
The generaT appropriations*
which Is now being considered by the
senate committee on appropriations,
was read for the second time and
sent hack to the committee. When
It comes from the committee tt will
be in shape to be placed upon it)
passage.
So far as this session of the )qgt»
lature is concerned the Australian baj.
lot system bill, hy Mr. Kelly, of Qian*
cock. Is dead.
The senate yesterday morning post
poned action on the measure and
made the trill the special order ft)!
the second day of the next session <51
the upper house, vrtlether that bo is
June or October of 1903.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to care deafness and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mneons lining of the Enstachian
Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken ont and this
tnbe restored to its normal condition,
hearing, will be destroyed forever; nine
cases ont of ten are caused by Oatarrh,
which is nothing bat an inflamed condi
tion of the mnoons surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cared by Hall's Oatarrh
Onre. Send for circulars, free.
