•• No tax law will be framed and it is
doubtful whether one could ever be framed
that will suit everybdy. Taxation has to
be worked out along the line of equitable
treatment for all and the greatest good for
the greatest number of people. That is
always the duty of the law-making body.
That is the problem that the Georgia le
gislature just now is squarely up against.
Just a few more days of the session re
mains in which to frame a tax measure. It
seems to us that the best thing the legis
lature could do would be to pass bills to
raise enough revenue for present emergen
cies arid to provide for the expenses of the
? ;ovmment departments and instituions
or 1922 and 1923, and then leave the ques
tion of the income tax to the people, to be
voted on in the shape of a constitutional
amendment in 1922.
It is being said that the people have not
had time in which to present their views
to the legislature on the various proposed
tax laws. If this complaint be true there
‘should be no objection to passing a law to
submit the question of an income tax to the
people in the form of a constitutional
amendment. The people would then have
more than a year in which to consider the
merits or demerits of the proposed law and
if they did not want such a law they could
defeat the amendment at the polls in No
vember 1922 or if they did approve of it
they could ratify the amendment at that
time.
The state is in a tight box. It must have
more money if it carries on its work. It
has a very short time in which to provide
the laws to raise this needed money. The
legislature will have to pass a tax law at
this session or run into an extra session.
At any event, whether it be in regular or
special session, the tax law must he forth
coming. The state cannot run without
money and the present tax laws have been
shown to be inadequate in the raiding of
sufficient money with which to carry on
the work of the state,
There will be criticism and there will be
opposition, but the legislature should go
right forward and provide a new tax law
that will be equitable and just but that will
be sufficiently well worked out as to yield
a tax income that will meet the require
ments of the state as to the needs of its
various departments and institutions.

PROSPEROUS TOWNS
AROUND ATHENS

cantaloupes, garden truck and . the
like, are plentifully grown so far aa
home and local consumption is con
cerned, but not to the extent tnat
shipping would warrant.
Peach Culture.
Next to cotton, if, Indeed, not ahead
of it In some respects, Is the large
peach ’ Industry which is Just about
coming into prominence. I say “just
about,” for it is only within recent
years that peach growing has taken
on great dimensions and the people
have awakened to the possibilities in
this fruit.
There are several large orchards
In which peach trees stand, not by
hundreds, but by the thousands, one
orchard alone having upwards of 10
000 bearing trees In. it, from which
shipments are being made. It Is
wonderful sight to one who has not
yet seen such an array of peach treSfc.
The Industry Is taking on large pro
portions and promises to tncreaae in
growth as the years pass on. By the
time the presqnt season comes to a
close, which will be within a lew
days from now, there will have been
shipped' frdm Commerce more than
one hundred carloads of peaches to
New York and other markets. It la
said that tho crop this year la the
finest that has ever been gathered,
excelling in flavor, color, form and
freedom from worms or other defects.
And the keeping qualities of the fruit
this year Is largely favored by the
splendid weather conditions which
have prevailed up to this time.
Because of the extraordinary care
of the trees before and during the
fruiting season and, too, because of
growing conditions, the peaches gath
ered at Commerce are claimed to he
superior to peaches from agy other
section, and "Commerce /peaches"
have gained an enviable reputation,
especially In the New York markets
It is said that peaches frdm th(s «ec-
tlpn are sought by buyer* In prefer-
eace to fralt from other sections, and
that these peaches command a price
In advance of others.
The “peach season’’ Is a busy and
strenuous one, and no Idle time fs
spent from early hours of dawn, when
dews cling In glistening beauty to
leaf and fruit, until lengthening shad
ows grow faint In faat dimming light
of waning day. Peach pickera and
packers are early a-fletd and at pack
ing shed, plucking and sorting and
crating the luscious beauties for ship
ment to foreign markets. During the
night cars are placed, upon sidings
end with the early coming of day be
gins the loading and Iclrig of the
cars, and within a few hours they are
rolling towards distant cities, north
east and west, where wait the teem
ing thousands to enjoy the tooth
some delight of a "Georgia Belle” or
Elberta” from Commerce, da.
Only the choicest and most per
feet fruit Is selected and prepared Tor
shipment, the culls being sold or oth
erwise disposed of right at the or
chards for very much smaller prices
than the shipped fruit commatda.
"Culls” are not necessarily undesira
ble fruit, but consists largely ol trull
that Is over-rip* or with some elUjht
detect. Some really delightful peaches
were enjoyed by the writer which
were In the “cull” dlass only because
they were a bit too ripe for shipping
any great distance
The value of this year’s crop to the
growers will be something upwards
of 960,000, It Is estimated.
Shipments from some of the or
chards which will be and have been
made this year are from ««' c -

ences. The mill was organised in
1893, and from its start ha* proved
a profitable venture ., ,
, The mill company Is capItalUeA at
2250,000. Its officers are: Dr- L- «■
Hardman, president; J “ dg jJY' Jec .
Stark, vice president. C. J. Hood, aec
rdtary and treasurer; J. D. Barnett,
general office man and manager, and
J. D. Black, superintendent
The mill nfhs 15,000 spindles, 444
looms and employs about 250 opera
tives. At times the number of opera
tives Is beyond this number. The out
put of the mill Is yarn and' cloth.
Dally consumption of cotton amount!
to twenty-five bales and the dally ca
pacity Is around 25,000 yards of sheet
ing and drills. —
Labor condRIons at the mill are
splendid, the operatives being plenti
ful and contented with their living
conditions. There )are about sixty
operatives’ houses which are rented
to the occupants at a very low rental;
around these homes are roomy yards,
wbqrein small gardens may be main
tained, and the houses are all fur
nished by the oompany with free wa
ter and electric light service. The
mill operatives are, generally speak
Ing, In excellent health and their eo-
rial environments are good.
While, It le said, conditions have
been of late years unfavorable to cot
ton mills generally, the Harmohy
Grove Mill has, with the exception oi
a few weeks during the fall of 1920,
run on full time alnce Its organisa
tion and It ft now running on full
time. Also, while condition* have
been antagonistic towards large
profits this mill has maintained IU
wage scale on such a bast* aa to gtv* ,
Its operatives a living wage, though
having to operate on a small margin^
of profit.
The Harmony Grove Mill baa been
a potent factor In the growth of Com
merce, and since the mill has been
In operation It has paid out In wages
alone about one and one-half million
dollars.
