HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA.
SINN FEIN ACCEPTS
PEACE PROPOSALS
IT IS REPORTED CONCESSIONS
ARE MORE LIBERAL THAN IRISH
REPUBLICANS HOPED FOR
FORMAL ACCEPTANCE LATER
De Valera Leaders Decide Maximum
Offered Is Fully Compatible With
Irish National Honor
London.—“-Lloyd-George’s offer of
peace for Ireland, under terms more
liberal than the most ardent of Irish
republicans had actually expected, has
been found acceptable by Sinn Fein,
it is learned on unquestionable author
ity.
Eamonn de Valera and leaders of
his party, after examining the pro
posals of the British premier for more
than six days, have decided that the
English project contains the maximum
concessions that can be obtained from
the imperial government, and that it
is completely compatible with Irish
honor, affording a measure of self
government that can be accepted with
out loss of the nation’s prestige.
Under the British proposals, It is
now declared, Ireland will be given a
status as a “dominion” with even great
er power of home rule than those pos
seessed by Canada. This implies prac
tically complete control over both leg
islative and fiscal policies, the latter
being a point for which the Irish dele
gation has consistently fought.
Details of the Lloyd-George propos
als will not be given to the public un
til their formal acceptance, it is un
derstood.
The momentous decision to acccept
the project which will make Ireland a
republic in practically everything save
the name came at the conclusion of
the last consultation between de Va
lera and members of the Dail Eire
ann, but formal notification of the ac
ceptance will not be sent to London
for a week or ten days.
In the meantime it is expected that
all the imprisoned or interned mem
bers of the Dail Eireann will be re
leased in order that they may be pres
ent at the ratification meeting. There
seems to be no doubt that de Valera’s
acceptance will be followed by com
plete confirmation by the Irish parlia
ment.
Ulster will be treated, during the in
terval before the new scheme can be
come effective, as a subordinate par
liament, and will then be offered the
opportunity of joining the rest of the
country under the working of the cen
tral Irish government.
The truce, which has been strictly
kept, will, upon announcement of ac
ceptance of the terms, come to an
official end. But in the great spirit
of peace which now prevails, there
is none who wants to return to the
old days of hostility, and, although
the people may be unaware of the
impending momentous development
there is little danger that “war” will
come again in southern Ireland.
A touch of saber rattling is report
ed by the Daily Herald’s Belfast, cor
respondent, who says that the Ulster
service men's organization has asked
for its transformation into territorial
forces at once, its members passing
a resolution to the effect that "this
is the time for action —not words.’’
Train Hits Auto, Engine Crew Injured
South Bend, Ind. —D. L. Flynn, Elk
hart, Ind., fireman, was fatally hurt,

truck at New Carlisle. Ind. The loco
motive, with ten mail, baggage and
passegner coaches, were derailed as
a result of the impact and although
many passengers were bruised, none
was seriously hurt. The truck driver
escaped by jumping.
Postpone Action On Debs Pardon
Washington.—Submittal of a report
to President Harding concerning a
pardon for Eugene V. Debs, socialist
leader, imprisoned at Atlanta tor vio
lation of the espionage laws, will be
deferred until after the president re
turns from his ten days’ visit to New
England, Attorney-General Daugherty
said recently. Mr. Daugherty declar
ed that his study of the case had pro
gressed to the point where he could
dictate recommendations for the pres
ident's consideration in a short time.
$70,000 Jewels Seized In Chicago, 111.
Chicago.—Unset diamonds and other
jewels valued at $70,000 wers seized
recently in a north side apartment
house in the federal investigation of
a gigantic smuggling ring discovered
here during the recent past. The
gems were found sewed in the lining
of a coat said to belong to Hyman
Finerran of Los Angeles, a jeweler,
arrested and held in two thousand dol
lar bond on the charge of smuggling.
The police have had great difficulty in
locating the gang and pride themselves
in this important capture.
STATE CAPITAL LETTER
Resume Of A Week’s Activities
Relative To Georgia’s Law
makers Told In Brief
Lively debate over an Increase of
from 10 to 30 cents a ton in the tax
on fertilizer inspection In the state,
and the passage of a substitute bill
which will give Georgia a law con
trolling and directing the operation of
motor vehicles In Georgia was fea
tured. The house of representatives,
after the house had adopted the new
general tax bill offered, with a few
minor changes. The $5 tax on bach
elors was reconsidered and defeated.
The motor vehicle act passed by
the house recently is a re-enactment
of a bill passed by the extraordinary
session of the legislature in 1915,
under the administration of Governor
Nat E. Harris. All but one section of
the bill was declared unconstitutional,
on account of the fact that it did not
bear upon the reasons given by the
governor in his call for the special
session. The session was called to
consider taxes, and consequently only
that part of the 1912 bill dealing with
license tax was declared constitu
tional. ,
Passage of an amendment to the
general tax act imposing a penalty
of $5 each on all unmarried persons
of sound mind and over 30 years of
age in Georgia provided the distinct
feature of a recent, session of the
house of representatives.
The amendment was introduced by
a group of legislators led by Bowden
of Ware and Davis of Floyd, who ex
plained that this item alone, should
it become effective, will net the state
an annual increase in revenues of $3,-
920,000, since there are 784,000 per
sons in the state who would feel its
effect.
The house voted on the amendment
was 68 to 67 in favor of its incor
poration in the general tax measure.
A move to substitute the tax sys
tem now in effect for the new gen
eral tax act, which is slated to in
crease the state’s revenue annually
by about $1,000,000, and heated de
bate over the question of whether
the state should employ special in
vestigators to ferret out possible tax
delinquents, were other features of
the house session.
After a three-hour session in which
the condition of the state’s finances
was discussed at length the senate
appropriation committee recommend
ed to pass by a 9 to 4 vote the house
bill providing for the discount of the
next five year’s rental of the Western
and Atlantic railroad to meet the fin
ancial crisis that is faced by the state.
It is claimed £hat about $2,750,000
will be realized by the state at once
by discounting the rent for the next
five years on the state road and this
money is to go to meet unpaid appro
priations for 1921.

duced in the senate:
—By Senator Fleming of the Eighth

counties. (Special judiciary.)
