Notice From
County Boar d
Os Registrars
' The Tax Collector, Mr. W. H. Rob
erts has furnished the Board of Regi
strars with a certified list of all voters
appearing on the registration book to
gether with a certified list of all de
linquent poll taxpayers. You will find
a list as above on file in the Tax Col
lectors office. We are now having lists
made of the above and when this is
completed the registrars will meet and
recheck the tax defaulters as well as
the qualified voters to see that in the
future we will have a correct list.
These lists will be filed with the
Clerk of the superior court and will
be there for your examination.
We find that there are more than
|Bve hundred disqualified voters in the
county. We are having a. post card
issued to all defaulters and. we will set
a date for a hearing that each dis
qualified voter may know the situa
tion.
Under a ruling no man can qualify
to vote after May the seoond, in other
words, if your poll tax was not paid
before May second you cannot vote.
You will find this ruling in the of
! fice of the Tax Collector.
The Tax fi fas are in the hands of
the Tax Collector and the Sheriff
where you can see them.
It is astonishing to know that five
hundred people have not paid their
poll tax and have become disfranchis
ed. Some of the poll tax fi fas reach
as far back as 1935. It will be checked
at least four times and we invite the
general public to come in at the date
which will be set for hearing,
This is one time we hope to have
an accurate list as it will be checked as
many as four times.
I Each trfx defaulter will receive
* notice of date for hearing and on the
day of date for hearing and on the
day of any election each precinct will
be furnished with a list of the quali
fied voters as well as list of the dis
qualified voters showing that they
i are disqualified, only on account of
I poll tax not being paid.

8-Cent Penalty
Set For
Excess Cotton
WASHINGTON, June 26.—Secre
tary of Agriculture Wickard
has signed an order setting a penalty
of 8 cents a pound for the sale of 1942-
grown cotton in excess of farm mark
eting quotas.
The penalty last year was 7 cents
a pound.
This action indicated that the Gov
ernment’s basic loan rate for 1942 cot
ton would be around 16 cents a pound,
compared with 14.02 cents last year.
Farm legislation specifies that the
penalty for excess marketings shall be
half the basic loan rate.
Officials said the 1942 loan rate had
not been decided, but under existing
law it must be at least 85 per cent of
the partiy price of cotton, or about 16
cents.

Beginning in 1935 —the first year of legal beer in Georgia —when
receipts totaled $244,969, state beer taxes and license fees have produced
a steadily mounting total each year. Last year’s revenue was $1,732,431,
an all-time high, and the aggregate for the first four months of 1942 is
35 per cent ahead of the same period of 1941, according to figures com
piled by the Georgia Committee of the Brewing Industry Foundation. (
All monies derived from taxes on beer go to the purchase of free text
books in the public schools of the state.
