theistuts. Every day he gets letters
to the effect that the people are slow
about settling their taxes this year
aod that many executions will havo to
be lssued as a result. Such,a state of
affairs has not existed in Georgia in
MBby years, and the capitol officials
tvfco have heard from the comptroller
ab^ ut the, reports are asking them 1
•elves the question: Are the land
owuers of the state embarrnssed finan
cially? It is believed that the low
!prjce of cotton which, has prevailed all
deling the fall months had consider
able to do with nonpayment of taxes
many of the farmers of the state.
? Already the collectors are somo
$200,000 behind in their returns to the
elector's office, and if the percentage
ifYthe collections keeps up the state
wU)l lose uearly $400,000 by defaulters.
