C., Sept. 3.—A stamp tax on soft drinks as well as beer and patent medicines is contemplated by members of tbe . House Ways and Means Committee, which is preparing an emergency Internal revenue bill to offset treasury losses due to curtail ment of Imports. It la urged that soft drinks are as much luxuries as wines or beer and that an equitable distribu tion of the tax burden among all con sumers would bo accomplished by this plan. Another suggestion is a stamp tax of 5 or 10 cents on railroad tickets and admission to theatres, baseball parks and other licensed amusements. REVENUE MEASURE It la estimated that from ,50.000,000 already have been studying available to ,80,000.000 could be raised In this! wu rcos of special revenue nnd have been In frequent conference with Of interest to every citlxen of Way cross and Ware is the following from MESSAGE GOMING 8ecre,ar > r Martin V.

Administration leaders in Congress way. The committee has not yet deter mined upon complete taxation plan, but proposes to hasten Us delibera tions so that a bill may be introduced soon after President Wilson addresses congress on the subject, which prob ably will be immediately upon his re turn from New Hampshire. Adminis tration leaders are impressed with the necessity of quick action In order to disturb conditions as little as possi ble. Democrats of the senate will discuss the emergency In a party caucus to be called later this week. A doubling of the present tax on beer, It is estimated by treasury ex perts, would produce 865,000,000. Some committee members, however, feel that taxation of commodities other than beer and patent medicines would cause less popular friction. Among the committee Democrats there has been some opposition to any war tax at all at this session, the con tention being that there Is plenty of available money for present needs. MRS. GOKTilALM WAS HELD AS A GERMAN SPY. Washington, D. C., 8ept. 3.—With the return to Washington of Ameri can naval officers who were France at the time of tbe outbreak of the war it became known yester* day that Mrs. George W. Goehmls, wife of Gov. Goethals of the canal rone, was arrested. at Vllle Frenche as a German spy shortly after the war begun. Mrs. Goethala is of German descent and speaks the language fluently. 8be had difficulty proving her Identity, but finally produced her marriage certificate. When the French officers learned she was the wife of the build er of the Panama canal they could not apologise sufficiently and her re lease was ordered immediately.

CAUSES SPLIT (Continued from Page 1.) agreed to accept a federal Judgshlp, to bo given as soon an Hardwick can gain the ear of President Wilson, and would drop out. This was soon veri fied, for Mr. Felder, his form visibly agitated, ronclied tho platform and withdrew him name. He said he was not willing to further Jeopardize the interest of “progressive Democracy” by remaining longer in the fight. He r.nounccd that the would quit In favor of Mr. Hardwick. And Immediately the newspaper men turned to their telegraph operators and cried ““Flash! Hardwick Wins!” In another moment the extras in half a dozen cities were telling tho news on tho streets. It was all over. Not all perhaps. There are two things that seem to be agreed on by the public. One Is that there shall be no more conventions like this, and an other that the Macon farce made split In Georgia Democracy which will be many years in healing. The Slaton people aro pointing out that never for a moment wns there n semblance fair play; that Chairman Ucagan per slstcntly refused to recognize any mo tion from the Slaton delegates; that he openly said he would entertain no motion to adjourn that did not come from Hardwick men. The convention was Hindu up to crush Slaton, Us offi cers sworn to that end, nnd It accom pltshcd Us purpose. Governor Slaton has had no com ment to make—yet. Ho will serve out his term as governor quietly and hon orably ns in the past. But he is young man, and there are many othor primaries still to be held in Georgia. It Is distinctly evident, in tho state press and among the people, that John M. Slaton has lost nothing In defeat except tho senate seat. That he will yet “come back” is taken as a certain- ANOTHER NEW BUNGALOW-COT TAGE FOR EMERSON DARK. Today work started on another bungalow In Emerson Park and an other block was sold on which a nice little home will be built at a very early date. Every home that Is built will enhance tho value of every block and those who buy now at the present prices will be the winners. With the prices of food stuff going up. and the prospects are it will go higher, the sensible thing to do now is to get a piece of ground large enough *to raise vegetables, sugar cane, fruit, poultry and other things to eat, at the same time be putting your money In a home to be all your own. It Is the wise thing to do and the aonalble thing to do. Three acrej of land is sufficient to produce enough of those things for your fam ily and you can cultivate It between work hours while you are rest* ing. If you haven’t seen the block i in Emerson Park you ahould do so at once. The prlco will not always be 8600 for a whole block big enough to rnako 20 city lots; the price wilt go higher as the property Improves. Get one now. Phone 66. D. * 0, LOTT COMPANY.
