AX IMPORTANT MATTER.
The Georgia State Board of
Health Advises Early Ty
phoid Vaccination.
The prevalence of typhoid fe
ver is a variable quantity. Some
years there are only a few reai
epidemics, and other years
there will be epidemics of the
disease that will invade large
communities.
dust what 1919 has in store
for the people of this state in
the way of typhoid fever is dif
ficult to forecast; however,
since we have had a somewhat
mild winter and are promised
an early spring, we are per
suaded to believe that the sum
mer and fall will find us with
a large number of cases of ty
phoid fever. This is a reason
able prophesy since a mild win
ter with an early spring pre
dispose to early fly breeding,
and early fly breeding would
guarantee an unusually large
number of flies, and they will
be seen early in the spring and
typhoid fever spreads by means
of flies.
From the above facts, there
fore ,it is reasonable to conclude
that to use no measures to safe
guard ourslves, our families
and our communities from this
easily preventable disease is
worse than folly.
What can he done? Each in
dividual in the state can be vac
cinated against the disease and
practically without cost, '-peo
vided you do not wait until the
rush comes for vaccine to or
der yours. Our laboratory has
a large quantity on hand now,
ready for free distribution and
to get this and have your physi
cian or health officer adminis
ter it now is to do the wise
thing. Don’t wait until our
surplus stock of vaccine is ex
hausted an dthen wire, telling
us that you have an epidemic of
typhoid fever in your communi
ty, and ask for vaccine.
The time to pray is before
the devil conies. The way to
avoid typhoid fever is to be vac
cinated NOW.

fruit trees and grape vines, do
not forget to include an order
for flowering shrubs and bulbs.
Then go just a little further and
order some shrubs at least for
the church and sclioolhouse. Or
perhaps you can find redbud,
mimosa, dogwood and crape
myrtle sprouts in the neighbor
hood all ready for transplant
ing. Somehow or other let’s
get them to beautify our own

A SWEET LIFE IS GONE
Friday, February 21, at the
home of her mother, Mrs. Sarah
Hardman Andrews, of Statham,
occurred the death of Mrs.
Pearl Horton, of Atlanta. She
had been only a few days visit
ing her mother and sisters,
when she was stricken with in
fluenza and lived only a little
while.
Rev. W. 11. Faust and Rev. J.
H. Woodf of Winder, conduct
ed the funeral service at Stat
ham Baptist church Sunday af
ternoon. Her sweet young i
had been crossed by many sor
rows, having to give up her
father, only brother ,four prec
ious babies, and a few months
ago buried the idol of her home,
her sixteen-yar-old dang
Ruaht. Those who will miss
her home going most are her
husband, Mr. Jud Horton, her
two little girls, Sarah and Inez.
To her mother she had always
been comfort and joy, who as
long as her health permitted,
spent a portion of her time with
her baby daughter Pearl.

How blesse dare those who
die in the Lord was truly dem

TAFT LACKS FAITH IX
THE SENATORS WHO
FIGHT LEAGUE.
San Francisco. —“The gentle
men in tin* senate who are set
ting out to defeat this league of
nations are those 1 would not
trust overnight,” former Presi
dent William H. Taft said to
day at a luncheon given in his
honor by civic organizations as
a part of the program of the
Pacific coast congress of the
League to Enforce Peace.
“They are citing the constitu
tion as an argument against it,”
continued Mr. Taft. “1 revere
and worhip that great instru
ment ,and it is anew story to
me if the constitution prevents
this people from playing their
part in bringing peace and or
der and happiness to ourselves
and the other peoples of the
world.
“This is not a political ques
tion, God forbid. 1 am glad
President Wilson went to Eu
rope because he went bearing a
promise of a league of nations.
“The application at this time
of the doctrine of avoiding en
tangling alliances is reaction
ary to the extent of delaying
world peace one hundred years.
The question at this time is
whether the whole great plan of
the league of nations is to be de
feated because .we can t get a
two-thirds majority oi' our sen
ate for its ratification. ,f
“A peace-loving nation of
fighting men” was the way Dr.
Henry Van Dyke, formerly min
ister to The Netherlands, de
scribed the United States. He
said objectors to a league of na
tions held that to enter such a
league involved abdication of
nutionl sovereignty, but, on the
contrary, it involved an asser
tion of sovereignty in a willing
acceptance of a common law of
self-restraint.
A referendum throughout the
country would find DO per cent
of the voters heartily approving
the league, Henry Morgenth
formerly ambassador to Turkey,
said.
Last Words of Rulers.
The ancients had an ear for last
words, anil among the reputed fare
wells of Roman .-nperors there have
been handed down Nero’s cynical,
“What an artist the world is losing In
me !” Julian’s cry of surrender, “Thou
has conquered, O Galilean!” and Ves
pasian’s irordc, “I feel myself becoming
a god.”
Appropriate Last Words.
The Elizabethans are full of well
chosen last words. Marlowe makes
Tamburlalne assume the sobriquet of
Attlla with his last breath: “For Tam
burlaine, the Scourge of God, must
die!" and the duke of Guise exclaim
as the assassin does his work: “Vive
la messe! Perish Huguenots 1"
INCOME TAX DUE.
Returns Must be Filed on or Be
fore March 15—Bill Provides
Heav} Penalties.
Washington, I). C. —Work on
the collection of $0,000,000,000
has been begun by the bureu
of internal revenue. This is
the estimated yield of the new
pevnuo bill. The income tax
provisions of the act reach the
pocket book of every single per
son in the United States whose
net income for 1918 was SI,OOO.
or more, and of eevry married
person whose net income was
$2,000 or more. Persons whose
net income equalled or exceed
ed these amounts, according to
their marital status, must file a
return of income with the col
lector of internal revenue for
the district in which they live on
or before March 15.
Here is what will happen to
them if they don’t: For failure*
to file a return on time a fine of
not more than SI,OOO and an ad
ditional assessment of 25 per
cent of the amount of tax due.
For “wilfully refusing” to
make a return on time, a fine
not exceeding SIO,OOO ,or not ex
ceeding one yera's imprison
ment, or both.
For making a false or fraud
ulent return, a fine of not more
than SIO,OOO, or imprisonment
for not more than one year, or
both, together with an addition
al assessment of 50 per cent of
the amount of tax evaded.
For failure to pay the tax on
time, a fine of not more than
SI,OOO and an additional assess
ment of 5 per cent of tin*
amount of tax unpaid, plus 1
per cent interest for each full
month during which it remains
unpaid.
In addition to the SI,OOO and
$2,000 personal exemptions,
taxpayers are allowed an ex
emption of S2OO for each person
dependent upo nthem for chief
support if such person is under
’’THE REASON WHY-

The same thought has been expressed by

eighteen years of age and in

the 1917 act, this exemption was
allowed only for each depend
ent “child.” The head of a
family—one who supports one
or more persons closely con
nected with him by blood rela
tionship, relationship by mar
riage, or by adoption—is enti
tled to all exemptions allowed a
married person.
The normal rate of tax under
the new act is (i per cent of the
first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions, and 12 per cent
of the net income in excess of
$4,000. Incomes in excess of $5,-
000 are subject also to a surtax
ranging from 1 per cent of the
amount of the net income be
tween $5,000 and $(>,000 to 05
per cent of the net income above
$1,000,000.
Payment of the tax may be
made in full at thh time of fil
ing return or in four install
ments, on or before March 15,
before September 15, and on or
before December 15.
Revenue officers will visit ev
ery county in the United States
to aid taxpayers in making out
their returns. The date of
their arrival and the location of
their offices may be ascertained
by inquiring at offices of col
lectors of internal revenue,
postoffices and banks. Failure
to see these offieres, however,
does not relieve tin* taxpayers of
his obligation to file* bis return
and pay his tax within the time
specified by law. In this case
taxpayers must seek the gov
ernmnt, not the government the
taxpayer.
