To Tax Dogs
for Education .
In support of the bill which has
recently been introduced in the
house by Representative Cordell,
of Elbert, to put a tax on dogs,
the proceeds arising from this
levy to be applied to the common
school funds in the various coun
ties, President E. C. Branson, of
the State Normal School at Ath
ens, advances two very practical
arguments.
1. It is an excellent idea to
tax dogs in order to oducato chil
dren.
And some of us are simple
enough to believe that children
ought to be encouraged oven it
dogs have to be discouraged.
2. On account of the wido lati
tude which is given to dogs, the
development of the sheep indus
try has been made impossible in
this state.
Thousands of dollars could be
put, into t.ho pockets of our people
by giving proper attention to the
raising of sheep for market .
Lambs born in February are!
ready for commercial use in June.
They weigh from seventy to eigh
ty pounds and are worth from
$4.20 to $5.60. In this climate
they need to be corraled and fed
for only six or eight weeks in the
year.
From a flock of sheep in good
condition a profit ranging from
$7 to $8 per head in lambs and
fleeces can easily lie realized.
Professor Brunson tells us of
an acquaintance who derived four
years of the very best university
schooling in this country and
two years of travel abroad from
the profits of his half interst in
only one small flock of shoe]).
And yet Georgia is practically
allowing this magnificient, source
of revenue to go by default. -
Jo addition to the foregoing
reasons it may be stated that dog
laws in the nature of the one
which is contemplated in this bill
have been adopted in various
states with the most satisfactory
results.
For example, the dog law m
South Carolina last year put into
the common school fund $64,050.
More than $90,000 was the re
sult of a dog law in Virginia.
Rhode Island from this source
of revenue in 1906 derived s!{(•,-
409; and New Hampshire in 1908
(realized $40,937; Ind., $10(5,889,1
And Massachusetts, $99,527.
If other states have found legis
lation along this line salutary and |
wise, why should not Georgia!
also.
The' amount oh the proposed tax
is iu,es4sh specific instance only a
bagatelle, but it will aggregate
quite a stjm when the final re
ceipts are tabulated; and when
the results are made manifest, not
isufy in the revival of our sheep
poising industry, but in the stim
ulus which will he imparted to
tAir educaUou#! ayatein, it will lie
found to have beep the policy of
wisdom. —Atlanta Georgian.
SLOW DEALT NASHVILLE
HAS PLEASED MACON,
Macon, CdL, July 17.—Local
jobbers and retuiSfir* are more
than pleased with the jJflaltj
to Nashville when its ye hilling'
privileges were taken away by the
interstate commerce commission, -
and in interviews secured today j
they tell why they iiejmve that j
the move w ill be worth a great j
ileal to all Georgia distributing
points. Among the jobbers of
Macon who have allowed theirj
names to be used are J. A. Flour-!
ony, Daniel Adams, A. J. Long,
Emmett, Small and others.
Under the new regulations all
Georgia distributing points eaiL
isow go out and seek the business!
which heretofore fell to Nashville
in view of its privilege to rebill, j
&>ome years ago both Atlanta
amt Birmingham were rehill mg
points, but when the railroads
saw how Mljor cities were being
discriminated against they at
once called in ttu* rights.
ft i« estimated that many thous
ands of of dollars a year will be
saved by Macon jobbers, and the
Southeastern Freight association
is probably glad that the change
has been made. * *
sSENATOR BAYLES
IS SHOT TO DEATH.
Montgomery, Ala., July 15. — I
| State Senator Oscar O. Bay lew
was shot and killed yesterday by
David K. Smith, of Monroeville,
their home, as a result of Bayles’
efforts to secure a pardon for
Isaac and Jesse Shirley, who are
serving terms for the killing of
Jim Smith, a brother of the man
who del the shooting yesterday.
Bayles made sensational remarks
to Smith while the hearing before
the pardon board was on. and he
plainly showed his irritation at
the time.
A phone message from Monroe
ville to the Montgomery Journal J
says that Smith and Bayles re- j
turned to t heir homes yesterday,
Smith at noon and Bayles at
about 5 o’clock. Shortly after
they met on the steps-of the drug
store and after a few words, which
could not bn heard, Bayles slap
ped Smith down, at the same time
drawing his pistol. Smith came
up with his pistol out and both
| begun shooting. After three shots
| Bayles ran into a doctor’s office
and Smith into a drug store near
by. An open door gave each a
sight of the other and each took
a fourth shot through the aper
t lire.
Bayles then fell to the floor
with two bullet boles m his
bowels, and died within a short
time. Smith, who was not hit,
was sent, to jail, where extra
guard was kept over him all night .
However, the people seem to!
take it, that Smith is justified.
Smith is a brother of James
Smith, for the killing of whom
Jesse and Isaac Shirley are serv
ing terms in the penitentiary.
The Shirleys were convicted on
the testimony of their sister, wife
of the man they kill. Recent ef
forts to secure pardon for tin*
Shirleys have been blocked by
Smith and his sister-in-law, and
because of the sensational ques
tioning Bayles, who was attorney
for the Shirleys, Smith grew very
angry and Mrs. Smith was put to
great embarrassment. This ac
counts for the ill feeling.
