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. Edgar A.

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. --The American Boy Tallest Race in World.

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.

Number J V 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.
