Reports are made of a number
of colonizing companies that have
been investigating available large
tracts in various portions of the
Gulf states during the past few

The initiation of the campaign

low m iees of really good Southern
lands as compared with land in the

the big yields of wheat, corn and
other crops and corresponding profi

tricts have led to the southward

The association of growers in the

HALF A DOG FOR EVERY
PAYER OF A POLL TAX
Enormous Lot oi Dogs in Geor
gia, According to the Tax Re
turns.
What would you think if some
one were to tell you that actually
for every poll taxpayer in the state
thee is half a dog?
Would you feel like pitching a
bologna at some one’s head, or re
moving the “bark” from all the
trees in your neighborhood?
Of course it is impossible to meet
offhand a poll taxpayer and request
the privilege of inspecting his half
a dog, or to inquire if he has con
cealed on his person a divided ca
nine. It might not be safe.
According to the tax returns
coming in daily to the comptroller
general’s office, there will approxi
mately, if the returns continue in
the same ratio as now (this is Cap
tain “Tip” Harrison’s data), 150,-
000 dogs •seUivned for taxation, in
the state of Georgia.
There are in the state approxi
mately 300,000 poll taxpayers,
which makes half a dog to each.
No exceptions or references are
made to the size of the dogs.
Friday’s dog report was ns fol
lows: Chattooga county, 641 dogs;
Talbot, 1,334 dogs; Madison, 1,471.
The total tax’returns from Chat
tooga county show an increase of
$280,103 iu property values over
last year. The total property re
turned for taxation in that county
is $3,184,040.
Talbot county shows an increase
of $78,937 over last year’s returns,
with total taxable property of $1,-
617,499.
Madison county’s increase is
$237,39S and its total of property
returned for taxation this year is
$1,968,980.
Of the counties heard from so far
Walker shows the largest increase,
which is $361,507.
In relative increase, however,
Milton has made the greatest strides,
tho its increase in dollars and cents
is much smaller than Walker’s.
'J he return of dogs for taxes now
is consuming most interest, to sav
the least of it.—Atlanta Georgian.
There has been a complete change
o front, politically, among the
traveling men of the state. Two
years ago a large majority of 1 hem
were Brown supporters. This year
they are for Hoke Smith and tho
ratio is larger than in the last cam
paign. —Cami 1 la Entornrise.
