Doubtless a good many of our people are not aware that the last Legislature passed a?law which changes the mode of collecting fi. fas. for poll tax from that hitherto pursued. The Constitu tion makes the poll tax a part of the educational fund and therefore this fund has suffered from a very great de ficiency in the collection of this tax. For instance, in this county there are less than two thousand polls collected annually, whereas at elections nearly three thousand claim the right to vote, which fact shows that nearly 33 per cent, of this tax is not collected, there by causing considerable loss to the edu cational fund. Under the new law, af ter the tax books are closed, the Tax Collector is required to issue against all tax-payers who fail to # pay tax before the closing of the books, a fi. fa. for the property tax and a fi. fa. for the poll tax, thus doubling the cost of the fi.fas. The fi.fas. for the poll tax must be turned over by the Tax Collector to the County School Commissioner, who is charged with the collection of the same, and who is required to hold them until paid. Section 44 of the act reads as follows: “That all poll tax collected in this State shall, from and after the passage of this act, be paid over to the County Commissioners of the several counties of the State; and be by the county boards of education in the several counties of this State paid out, without any deduction for fees or salaries of officers, to the support of the schools in the respective counties -where said poll tax was raised; that when the Tax Collector in each county makes out fi. fas. for unpaid taxes it shall be his duty to make out separate fi. fas. against each defaulter, specifying in each case that it is for poll tax for that year, and shall at once turn them over to the County School Commissioner, taking his receipt therefor, and shall at the same time furnish the chairman of the County Board of Education with a list of the fi. fas. soturnedover. The Coun ty SchoolCommissioner shall be charged with the collection thereof, and to this end may place such fi.fas. in the hands of such constables of his county as he may deem proper, who shall collect the amount due thereon in the same man ner now prescribed by law r for the col lection of State and county taxes. “The constable, for collecting such fi.fas., shall receive the fees now allow ed by law ; but the County School Com missioners shall not receive any extra compensation for their services in su perintending and attending to the col lection of said fi.fas. When said fi.fas. have been paid off, they shall at once be turned over to the Tax Collector.” We have now on hand the following New Year attractions, which are offered to the trade at the lowest living prices, ei ther for cash or on time— 1500 bushels Texas Rust-Proof Oats. 150 barrels New Orleans Syrup, (new crop.) 60 barrels Standard Granulated Sugar, in barrels and half barrels.

The Savannah News says Senator Brown made about the seme speech in the Senate that Maj. A. O. Bacon made in the Georgia newspapers, and adds this comment: “It is amusing to read Senator Brown’s statement that the amount collected on whiskey manufactured in Georgia is almost sufficient to meet the expenses of the State government. The people who manufacture the whis key donT pay it. Those who consume the whiskey pay it, and they would pay just as much if there was not a gallon manufactured in Georgia. The. Sena tor seems to have overlooked this little but rather important fact. “But how much does the protective tariff take out of the pockets of Geor gians every year? Would it not be within bounds to say twice as much as the whiskey tax does? And why would it not be better to reduce these tariff taxes, and thus benefit every person in Georgia, than to repeal the whiskey tax and benefit only the whiskey- drinkers and moonshiners? Georgia would like to hear from Mr. Brown on this point.” The susceptible vouth is like the mos quito. There is little hope for him af ter he gets mashed. “With all thy false I love thee still,” quoted the husband as he stroked his •wife’s store hair.
