Suggestion That List of As
sessments Be Published.
Kingston, Ga„ March 27. 1917
Tbe Cartersvilie News,
Mr. Editor: As I see from time to
time a cry against tar equalization
as it is at present worked out—but
no substitue in its stead exoept to
return to the old rule-pass the hat
around and put in what you please
I feel like some suggestion if there
is a better method to accomplish this
work would be welcomed with muob
joy from numbers of our tax payers,
i am persuaded the law is lame but
the legislature has done uothlng of
fered nothing and so it becomes the
duty of any citizen in this democracy
of ours to suggest a better method if
he or she has one and lets thresh out
the results sought.
As all uien do not look alike talk
alike nor return their property alike
there must be some ruie provided
whereby every citizen will be forced
to do hiß or her part bear hiß share
of the public debt in such a way as
to do justice to all concerned.
Values must be fixed by some one
some body or everbody. When the
returns are made to the receiver and
all are in or supposed to be—the
county paper should publish the
names in each district with the val
ues plroed by tbe several ownet-s
both real aud personal property so
that each may see exactly what bis
neighbor is doing and let it become
tbe duty of every citizen to make
complaint to the board for any un
der value and then the board can
oite to appear with information fur
nished them and in so doing the peo
ple themselves will largely become
the adjusters. This will be more
democratic and 1 believe more ac
ceptable to all our oitizens.
Let no one think this ect as med
dling in another one’s business, but
feel it a duty where they are more
familiar vyitb surroundings then the
equalizing board. ,
They can help muob in this way.
Why should my neighbor be allowed
to return his property similar in
value to mine at half the rate anu
place this burden upon me? Let
some one speak out.
I am persuaded its fair to give all
tbe people a hand iu this tax adjust
ment then there should be no kick
coming.
Last year, 1916, there were a great
er number than ever who failed to
make any return of property until
the Bitting of this hoard and we
were forced to hunt it up in some
way so a- to got it on digest. I sug
gest all this extra trouble should not
exist and some severe penalty should
be imposed for tbe failure to make a
return and let delinquents bear this
expense and not the county. Let me
give a reason for a published list for
each district as suggested in the out
set. (1.) Every man wishes to be
or appear to be honest and fair some
from the heart and others would be
provoked to good works and a third
class wnich will be quite small can
scon be regulated. If this system
was worked out giying every man a
hand and impress on him a doty he
owes himself and his neighbor as
well we would soon be on rising
ground, a muoh fairer return made
and the people as a whole satisfied.
Respectfully,
C. A. Dodd.
THE DREAMER
He dreamed of a better city, he longed for a fairer fame
For the home of his daily labors, and he talked of a brighter name
For the scenes of his children’s playthings and the place of his children’s birth,
And he talked as a man who loved his town and was proud of her splendid worth,
%
He told her needs as he sew them, to him were her failings known
And he wanted to build for greatness but he couldn’t do it alone.
You may think great thoughts for the future, you may build and fashion and plan,
But you never shall see your dreams made real, save you work with your fellowman>
And never a greater city shall spring into being here
Save that the many have labored together its fame to rear.
Out of the hearts of our fellows has all our greatness grown,
Together they stood for this purpose—for no one could do it alone.
Stand oft by yourself with your dreaming and all of your dreams are vain,
No splendor of soul or structure can man by himself attain;
Tis willed we shall be as brothers, as brothers, then must we toil
We must share in a common purpose ns we share in a common soil.
And each who would see accomplished he dreams he is proud to own,
Must strive for the goal with his fellows—for he can not reach it alone.

I am anxious to make this county

and girls than any other county.
We know that we haye to put
much thought on any line of busi
ness to succeed. We are willing to
go out of the way to make oar busi
ness the best, so we should not he
content with anything less than the
best for our boys aud girls. Prom
you they will put forth their best ef
forts.
It will be impossible for me to see
each of you before the time c.ones for
club enlistment. I was appointed
late to start the work and 1 have
been in the oounty only a few weeks
but with your he’p in the different
communities we oan yet accomplish
much, bee how many you can get to
join the clubs with a determination
tojatick.
We most run this club work on a
strictly business basis and will expect
each boy to make only an honest
and accurate report of his work.
Will you write me at once what
you think the possibilities are in
your community towards making
this club work a success? Let us
have one hundred pigs exhibited at
County Pair this fall by club mem
bers. '
It is my one desire to help you and
know you this year. Thanking you
for tbe help you have already given
and whawyou will do,
1 am, yours for success,

Had but known what notv 1 know
Tbst went to school so long ago,
i should have made the most of days
I wasted !a a hundred ways.
I should have early buckled in
A little lead on life to win;
I should have known how much It
meant
To gather learning as I went;
And all the things that 1 despised
And left neglected, I’d have prized.
Were I once more to go to school
I’d learn each theorem aud rule;
Although it made me twist and squirm,
With honor I would start the term;
I’d do the simpler lessons well.
And then when harder tj.-ks befell
To master thetq I’d be equipped;
’Twas there so Often that I slipped;
Though eagerly I yearned to play,
I’d get my studies every day.
No rule or lesson now I know
Was hard, unless I’d made it so;
Aud when 1 studied as 1 should
And closed the day with markings
good
With speed and ease I always wrought
The problems that tomorrow brought.
And had I known what now 1 know
I should have studied long ago.
For I have learned at bitter cost
The lessons that 1 had and lost.

A STRONG BONE DRY OPINION
POLITICS WITH HOMES
Atlanta, Ga. March 36—Politic 4 i s
a game aud the prohibition atlvo
nates have been accused of keeping
the subject of politics, but hereafter
it will he kept in politics by tin* in
re rests opposed to prohibition and
the purpo.-e of their game will be to
make it appear that “public senti
ment in Georgia doe< not favor the
drastic provisions of the Etone dry
law ”
This already Is as plainly apparent
as if tin- anti-prohibition interests
had advertised their plan. l '. The
dome of the state eapitol silhoutted
againet His afternoon sky is no
plainer than the game which is plan
ning to he placed against the bone
dry prohibition law. Aud the inter
esting and retußikable tiling is that
already some genuine prohibition
members who will vote tor the hill
are beginning to “fall for" the talk.
To assert that the law Is too drn
fie for the sentiment of rhe people,
that no law can he enforced unless if
has the backing of public sentiment,
that juries will not convict for viola
tions, that tire law is doomed to be-
come a dead letter and that Hie p#n
dilium will certainly swing ttavk
ward—that is the talk of the auti
prohihition interests, and they un
handing it out iu every conversation
where the talk drifts round to tiro
hibition. They arc circulating if
with such industry and such same
ness of phraseology that one’s mind
soon perceived that it all Etss a com
mon source aud a common purpose.
Of course if Hie people who want
genuine prohibition and whose de
mand has cystalized in the Edit
which the legislature ie now shout
to pass should allow it to be dinned
into their ears that they don’t know
their own mind, and should finAllv
permit themselves to be convinced
that they don’t, then the liquor in
terests will have accomplished their
purpose—which is to manufacture a
sentiment against the law.
But the legislature af least is go
ing to give the believers in prohib
ition an opportunity to practice their
professions. The legislature is going l
to pass the governor’s bone dry hill,
arid It is just as dry as the llquoritee
say it is. And there will he no fur
ther possibility of putting prohibi
tion in politics, except by the game
of manufacturing public, sentiment
against the law.

IRE BONE-DRY LAW
NOW IN EEFECI
A Drastic Measure For The
Subduing of Liquor Use
An Atlanta special of tin- 28th to
the Macon Telegraph says;
The provisions ot the bone-dry hill
passed today are follow-: The re
strictions are:
It is the first prohibition hill ever
passed which prihiLfts the “prohi
bitonists ’ getting or having any
liquor.
Section 1 covers all the prohibitive
features so far a* the layman is con
cerned.
It forbids an importation of an>
liquor of any kind from anywhere,
either without The state to * point
In the state, of from point to point
within the state, whether as having
beverage or not.
It prohibits thehaving, posse-sir.g
or control of any liquor, wheth r for
personal use or otherwise; for am
purpose whatsoever, in the n -me or
elsewhere. There are two lone vx
ceptions to rht gnera) piovi-tons
rhe hiII; one allowing pure alcohol to
specific purposes, the other allowing
wine to churches only for sacratneo
tnl purpo-es, Hint under rigid in
structions.
The exceptions lllV;
Wine may be transported and re
ceived b y an oidained minister,
priest or official head of a hoard ol
ariv chuioh. after proper application
for sacramental purposes onlv. the
wine to E>e possess’d and kept by the
party making the application.
1 Ite ordinary will have to issue
such application in triplicate, one ro
he filed with the ordiriarv. one ro ac
company the order, the third to tie
usad in the delivery from common
cairier The package, when shipped
mu-t he plainly marker! us to con
I cuts, consignee and the purpo-e for
which it Is to he n-ed.
Pure alcohol may he shipped to
transported, and received and poses*
cd by a practicing ptivsiepm, who is
the sole proprietor of a drug store,
to licensed druggists, to manufac
turers, chartered colleges, chartered
hospital am] state Institutions, im
medicinal purposes or manufactu
ring purposes only, the methods ot
applying to he the same a- in the
case of wines and the packages to
tie plainly marked when shipped.
In shipments of wine, the church
is allowed only one shipment a
month, but may get as much af that
one time as desired. Of pare aleo
hols, as many shipments iu i > b*> had
as desired, hut after the first applica
tion, each subsequent application
must cairy a sworn statement of the
use made of the former and the
amount so disposed of.
The punishment for these it vio
lated, is a misdemeanor as to the
wines. In the matter of alcohols
the druggist, physician, pharmacists,
ororhers, is deprived of his license,
and in cases of manufacturers they
are forever debarred from receiving
second shipment, after Hiiy viola
t ion.
All apparatus for distilling is made
contraband and site officers are di
rected to destroy it on sight without
order of the ( ourts. A still located
on property is taken as prima fcie
evidence that the pprson in possess
ion had knowledge of its presence,
and the.bur len of the proof to the
contrary is upon the defendant. The
bill makes "inoonahining” Pdony.
Any vehicle or conveyance used on
the public or private ways hi the
state, or any vessel ship or craft,
used in the waters of the state for
transporting or moving any of the
prohibited liquors shall be seized
and condemned after hearing and
soid by ord* rof the court, the pro
ceed* to go first to court e< ts. and
thereafter one third to the she rill
and the balance to intolvent costs or
into the county treasury.
The punishment for violations of
thevaiious sections, unless other
wise specified, is as for a misdemea
nor. except in cases 0/ false swearing
ou application to ordinaries for per
mits, which is a felony.
The'sentence of naoonshinina is
from one to five years.
The cause or successfully peopling
the world will neyer suffer at the
hands of such men as .Mr. Joseph
Lowery, a popular citizen of Enhar
lee, in this county. Mr. Lowery wilt
be seventy year® old iD May. He has
reared quite an extensive family,
eight children, twenty-three grand
children and fen great grnud-chiU
dren. Few men at Mr. Lowery’s age
can lav claim to an issue like this.
