THE ADAMS MARKET City Authorities Take Six Bar rels of Whiskey From the Coast Line. Thomasville, Ga., January 13.—Who is the Thomasville Chemical Compa- The firm, which is not rated by that name in Bradstreet or Dunn, has beei* shipped six barrels of pint flasks, filled with whiskey, and the same stayed at the depot in this city for three days. Acting on grapevine information and 'by the authority in me vested,” Mayor Beverly ordered the shipment seized and taken to the city barracks. This is perhaps the largest seizure of whiskey ever known in the city. It is not given out who the Thomasville Chemical Company is supposed to be, but it is believed that the manager, owner or proprietor knew that the whiskey was in the station and delib erately refrained from taking it out. The shipment could hardly have been sai<f to be for private use, so the city authorities, for the good of the com munity, took charge of the stuff, which some folks will believe is chem ically pure or pure chemical whiskey.

Tjiqn fc?rtri TAXATION OF CORPORATIONS REVIEWED IN REPORT ISSUED (By Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., January 13.— Tax legislation throughout the United States during 1912 is reviewed in a final report on taxation of corpora tions presented to President Wilson today by Commisisoner Davies of the Bureau of Corporations. One of the striking features of legislation re viewed is New York’s secured debts law of 1911. The Wisconsin income tax law of 1911 is considered the most important tax legislation in the East ern Central and Western Central states.

Wisconsin, by its income-tax law, centralized its administration of assessments and successfully reached intangible p»*>p£ ing the classification method. Rhode Island ha3 adopted the classification method under which selected classes are separated from the general prop erty of the state, and each related class is taxed at a rate which differs from the general-property tax rate. “Legislation with respect to the es tates of nonresident decedents is also noteworthy. By reason of the lack of uniformity of state laws, such estates are sometimes subject to taxation three, and even four, times. Massa chusetts, however, has recognized the principle of taxing such property but once, namely, by taxing the real es tate only. Personalty is not taxed, since such property usually passes in accordance with the iaw of the juris diction where the decedent is domi ciled.
