‘MRS. JAS. M. WOOTEN
~ ENTERTAINS AT THE LAKE
| ha
- Mrs. ‘Jas. M. Wooten entertained the
Young Matrons’ Club at Magnolia lake
recently. Quite a number of ladies
’of the other local clubs were present.
‘The plans of the occasion were inter
fered with to a great extent on ac
count of the fire at the hotel.
NEW GASOLINE TAX 1
WILL BE ONLY ONE TO LOSE
IF COURTS DECLARE THE
LAW IN INVALID.
Pity the poor consumer, his trials
and tribulations are many but a new .
burden has been put on him in, which‘
he has all to lose and nothing to gain.‘
His latest predicament is bound up
in the new gasoline tax imposed by‘
the last session of the state legislature
which placed a tax of one cent per
gallon on gasoline, {
The distributor pays the tax to the“
state but he passes it on to the retailer
and the retailer to the consumer, The
greatest trouble comes from a suit fil
ed by the Reed Oil Company, of At
lanta, attacking the constitutionality of
the law® and if the supreme court
should decide that the law is uncon
stitutional the distributor will get his
tax back for the state is keep an ac
curate record of the amounts paid. The
dealer will get his tax back because
a record is being kept of the amount
he is paying the distributor, but no
one is keeping any account for the con
sumer. He drives up to the filling sta
tion, orders five gdllons, pays the $1.25
and an additional nickel for tax and
drives on. Should the law be declared
unconstitutional he will be the only one
to lose.
Vague Wording.
The vague wording of the law at
first caused considerable surmise as
to the proper construction but an opin
ion has been reached that the tax
must be paid by only the distributors;
that is, the wholesalers and the whole
salers are the only gnes required to
register at the office of the ordinary.
They pay the tax, not on the quantity
of motor fuel that is in store, but on
the quantity that isssold to the retailer.
The retailer pays the tax of one
cent on every gallon which he buys
from the distributor. The . consumer
pays the 1 cent tax on every gallon
which he purchases from the retailer.
There is, however, only 1 cent tax,
the money changing from the consum
er to the retailer, to the distributor, to
the controller general in Atlanta.
There is no specific statement in the
act to whom the money should be paid
by the distributor. It was at first
thought that the distributor would
make his returns to the ordinary. Ac
cording to the interpretation now,
however, the distributor will turn over
his tax to the county tax collector,
J. O. Fussell, who will transmit the
money to the controller general.
This tax, as construed by an author
ity, is made payable in the same man
ner as the other occupation taxes, the
soda tax and others, which are paid
directly to the county tax collector.
All registrations by distributors
must be made by September 1 and
the first returns must be made Octo
ber 1, embracing the period from the
}passage of the act, August 10, until
‘that date. After the first payment the
returns will be made quarterly. None
other than distributors, that is, whole
salers, are required to register, or make
returns.
The registration fee is $l, a cer
tificate being given by the ordinary
showing that the holder has registered.
So far only distributors in Ter
rell county have registered at the of
fice of Ordinary Hoyl. In cases where
no registration is made by September
Ist misdemeanor charges can be pre
{ferred. 3
GEORGIA-ALABAMA POWER
PROBABLE FOR SHELLMAN
For some time there has been dis
cussed the matter of a possible eon
nection of the Shellman power plant
with the Georgia-Alabama Power Co.
in Albany. For the past several months
there has been' very little said con
cerning this important matter. At the
present time the power plant in Shell
man is in fair condition, but is being
carefully cared for by Mr. C. P. Payne.
Mr. Payne reports that in order to
keep this plant in operation it is nec
essary to keep close watch, making
minor repairs quite often. Should
Shellman wait until their plant is past
repairing and until the operating ex
pense increases to a great amount, the
larger power concerns will have them
at their mercy and the necessary
amount to install a new and larger
plant will far exceed the amount it
would be necessary to make the proper
arrangements with this company "at
the present time.

SOUTH GEORGIA FINDING
ITS PLACE IN PEACH WORLD
Shellman in the lead and Fitzgerald
will soon follow ‘Dy planting a large
number of acres in peaches of late
varieties.
Shellman has already begun to be
recognized as “the” market for peach
es of the best variety. The nursery
representatives here \alrcady report
that approximately 100,000 trees will
be added to Shellman’s already large
orchards consisting of 156,000 trees.
This will make a total of 256,000
trees. The past season’s approximate
shipments amounted to 225 cars. With
this amount of young trees being
planted Shellman’s peach shipments
will run up to approximately 500 cars
within the next few years. It is the
aim of the Shellman Peach Growers’
Association to encourage the planting
of more and more young trees every
year, which will soon cause this city
to be recognized throughout the na
tion as the home of the luscious Geor
gia peach.
