QUOTATION FROM SCRIPTURE
BRINGS SMILES TO A GEOR
- GIA CONGREGATION.
Trite, though unintentional, use ofa
scriptural quotation in a church in a
Georgia town on a recent Sunday has
caused many smiles as the story has
been repeated. It all hinges upon the
fact that a certain young woman, al
ways a church attendant but also
nearly always tardy at service, is
named Rebecca. !
A recent Sunday just as she tripped
down the aisle, some moments after
the services had started, the minister
was reading from Genesis, chapter 24.
As the belated member of the congre
gation advanced to her pew the voice
of the pastor announced:
“And behold Rebecca came forth.”
Broad smiles spread through the
congregation, while blushes mantled
‘the cheeks of the fair worshipper as
the pastor continued, “and she made
~haste.”
At this the merriment grew, as did
‘the embarrassment of the fair one,
while just as she started to take her
seat the minister, still unconscious
of the fact that he was causing the
disturbanee, completed the verse: “And
let the maiden abide with us.”
As he closed the book and Jlooked
around to see what had been going on
to cause the laughter, by this time
general, the young lady had dropped
into her seat, probably with a prayer
in her heart that she would be more
prompt in the future. '
Farmer Listed All But
’
Couldn’t Count Bees
Georgia Soil Tiller Didn’t Intend to
Miss Article in Income Report.
The commissioner of internal rev
enue may suspect extremely rich per
sons of holding back some of the in
come taxes due Uncle Sam, but he is
quite sure that when a certain _ Geor
gia farmer makes his return there will
be no need. for an investigation.
Officials of the income tax division
received a letter from this tiller of
the soil on Saturday, in which he en
closed an inventory of every piece of
property on his farm, including his
house, cider press and an oid churn.
He was pretty certain that he had not
missed a single article that might be
taxable.
- “I have put. down everything on
this list,” wrote the farmer, “except
‘the number of bees in my hives.*Only
'God Almighty and the angels in heav
en have counted the bees, and they
haven’t communicated with me. Fig
ure out my income tax and I will send
you a check immediately.”
Urges Congress to Tax
Ten Million Bachelors
Says a Levy on Unattached Males
Would Net Treasury $20,000,000.
Mrs. Sears Taylor, member of the
Washington rent commission, through
appointment by President Wilson, has
proposed that congress levy a tax on
bachelors. Pointing out that the Unit
ed States now has approximately 10,-
000,000 bachelors, or more than any
country in the world, Mrs. Taylor es
timates such a tax would yield at least
$20,000,000 a year, -
The tax would range from $1 to $5
a “year for each unattached male, ac
cording to‘age. Bachelors from 20 to
24 years old would pay $1 a year, and
the scale would increase until bache
lors more than 65 years old would pay
a tax of $5.
“Great Britain and France have ex
perimented with the bachelors’ tax,”
said Mrs. Taylor, “so it is not a totally
new proposition. It would put a pre
mium on good citizenship, which
means assyming family obligations.”

INTERESTING FACTS DEVEL
~ OPED IN TAX RETURNS OF
| GEORGIA VALUATIONS.
That dogs in Georgia were return
ed for taxation at a value more than
three times greater than capital in
vested in mining property of all kinds,
is one of the interesting facts disclos
ed by a recapitulation of 1920 tax re
turns made by W. B. Harrison, chief
clerk in the tax department of the
comptroller general’s office.
While the capital invested in min
ing operations was returned in 1920
at a valuation of only $69,571, the dogs
of Georgia was returned for taxation
at a valuation of $230,641. Of course,
the returns of capital invested in min
ing operations were by no means
commensurate with the actual capital
so invested. It is estimated by the tax
authorities of the state that the above
fiure of $69,571 represents not more
than ten per cent of actual capital in
vested in mining. Neither does the
value of dogs returned for taxation
represent the actual value of worth
while dogs placed upon them by their
owners, but it as.least indicates a
greater willingness on the part of dog
owners to pay taxes on their dogs
than on the part of mine owners to
pay taxes on their mines.
Total Valuations:
The aggregate value of property of
all kinds assessed for taxation in
Georgia in 1920 was $1,181,473,058,
which was a substantial increase over
the aggregate returns in 1919 of $982,-
800,863.
A classification of the returns of
1920, made according to the specifica
tions laid down by the tax digest,
shows the following sub-aggregates
cemposing the general aggregate:
Acres of land, cultivated and un
cultivated, 35,442,560, returned at an
aggregate value of $369,888,859.
52;jity and town real estate, $344,262,-

House Votes $600,000
More For Dry Agents
Adoption of Amendment Gives Kra
mer’s Force $7,100,600 For 1922.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Approval
of the prohibition enforcement meth
ods of the much-criticised bureau of
internal revenue was giveny by the
house this afternoon when, after a
semi-serious clash between the wet
and dry forees, it adopted by a vote
of 86 to 48 an amendment increasing
by $600,000 the appropriation for en
forcement carried in the legislative,
executive and judicial bill. The total
amount thus provided for Commis
sioner Kramer’s force for 1922 is $7,-
1100,000. -
Two other amendmeénts, which
sought to nullify the Volstead act by
practically eliminating the appropria
ition were defeated after lively tilts.
One of these, offered by Representa
}tive A. E. B. Stephens, of Ohio, limit
ed the appropriation to $1,000,000.
l Representative William R. Wood, of
Indiana, chairman of the sub-commit
tee in charge of the bill, who began
the fight on the enforcement item
several days ago, when he demanded
the department of justice instead of
the bureau of internal revenue be
charged with enforcement, renewed
today his charges that prohibition was
a national farce. -
Mr. Volstead and other defenders
of his act contended that “astounding”
progress has been made in the last
two years and that it was too late to
make any change in enforcement
methods.
Representative Gallivan declared the
only state where the act was enforc
ed was Massachusetts. He said it
would take $100,000,000 a year to
properly enforce it in the whole coun
try. x
EFFECTS OF CONSTIPATION.
Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys
tem and often poisons the blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels. A
dose of Chamberlain’s Tablets will
afford relief. Avoid drastic cathartics,
as they take too much water out of
the system, and their use is likely to
be followed by constipation.
