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.

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.

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.
