It’s awfully hard to find your con
fidence-after It has been misplaced.
Americus dealers In the exhilarating
and cheering ’’near” will now have to
come across with the speciaf license
tax of $200 each, imposed by the State
for the sweet privilege of selling the
liquid which adds not to the fame and
glory of Milwaukee.
For the higher court upholds the
legality of the tax, and the dealers
must produce the coln 4
There are probably a dozen dealers
retail and wholesale, in "Sumter coun
ty, the greater number in Americus,
of course, and all of these must yield
up the coin.
When the tax was imposed only
few months ago Americus dealers,
like others, desired to see the legality
of the act tested in the court and
with ono exception, all of those here
declined to pay the "near” tax.
One lone dealer took Ills dose and
paid over the $200..
When the tax was Imposed it caught
all the dealers by surprise and many
of them at once quit the “near” busi
ness, but all who were so engaged are
liable for this year's tax of $200. At
present there are several shops run
here at a profit..
With the court decision rendered.
Captain John A. Cobb, of the court of
ordinary, who’s duty it Is to collect
thl| tax, gives notice today for all
dealers to settle up.
The decision was handed down in
the case carried tip by dealers of At
lanta, 115 In number, it having been
Instituted on injunction#proceedings.
Payment of tax was held up pending
decision.
While It was technically a local
case, attorneys representing near-
beer dealers of other cities joined in
the effort to have the measure declar
ed unconstitutional. In many counties
of the state the tax money was held
pending a decision.
Since the act went Into force, less
than $20,000 has been paid Into the
state treasury because of it. Dealers
are liable, however, for the present ns
well as the next year, and there should
be paid by them within the next few
days more than $100,000.
The money derived Is to go to the
support of the convicts.
The case will be appealed, to the
supreme court of the United States,
but In the meantime the tax must be
paid by dealers and brewers.
Upon four pleas of guilty to as
many charges of larceny from the
house Rus McCuller, a town moke,
was given a chaingang sentence to
taling thirty months by Judge Crisp
yesterday. The loot taken from Cas
tle McCuller Included two fine pis
tols, one stolen from a Macon man
stopping at the Hotel Windsor, and
diamond-studded stick pin. The
police believe that McCqller Is con
nected with the theft of $700 worth of
gems, stolen here several months ago
and they still hope to secure evi
dence to that end. The gemB were
stolen from a visitor In th city and
th fact kept quiet at the time until
the robbbery could be unraveled.

the misuse of religion for material
purposes .
At the close of hie address the
Bishop confirmed a class of thirteen
