The Man Who Sells Drugs
Must Know
There are many drugs that look alike to the
ordinary observer, but the man who sells drugs
must be fitted both by education and exper
ience to know them fully. There is as much re
sponsibility in selling five cents worth of epsom
salts as there is in filling a prescription, for if
the wrong drug were sold it might mean un
told suffering. Therefore make your purchases
from a druggist who knows—one who has had
experience, education and training. It pays to
be safe.

WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER, AUGUST 28, 1»14.
STATE TAX I
RATE REDUCED
From 5 to 4 1 2 Milis, Due
to Large Increase Os Tax
Returns Under New Law
As the direct result of the tax
equalization act, passed by the 1913
session of the general assembly, the
tax rate of the state of Georgia has
been lowered from 5 mills to 4.50
mills, or S4.M for each SI,OOO of tax
able property torJQH.
This meania/uirect saving to the
people of Georgia of approximately
$1,000,000 a year.
As required by law, Governor Jno.
M. Slaton and Comptroller General
Wright met Monday afternoon and
the rate was formally llxed at 4.50
mills.
At this rate the revenue of the
stale from this source, less the cost
of collection, will be $1,030,280. Rev
enue from other sources, sueh a?
the lease of the W. & A. railroad, a
mounts to $2,069,318, making a total
of $6,099,598.
The regular appropriations for
1914 amount to extra ap
propriations amount to $134,720, or a
total of s6,<rfci<B9s, leaving a balance
of $25,003 after all appropriations are
paid out. *
This is the first time in years that
the tax rate has been lowered.
Governor Slaton Elated
Governor Slaton was elated at the
resuit. He said:
“I had predicted this all over the
state in the speeches I made on the
lax equalization law.
“My promise to the people of Geor
gia has been fulfilled.
“Every county in the slate should
rut its tax rate.
“This is the first time in years
that the tax rate has been cut. I
congratulate the people of Georgia
and the legislature on the remit.
The control of appropriations is
now restored to the people of Geor
gia who pay the money.
“The tax equalization act is the
best law passed by any legislature, in
fifty years.”
County Rate Reduced
The county authorities have also '
■ reduced the county tax rade from ,
1 70 cents for 1913 to 62 Mi cents for '
1914, so this year the combined state 1
j and county rate willbpjy be $1.07% 1
as against a combineiKrate of $1.20
last year.

STONE TOWER
IS DAMAGED
Memorial To Famous Brie
ade At Chickamauga Park
Struck By Lightning
The Wilder monument in Chicka
mauga park was struck by lightning
Friday afternoqp, to
the extent of Ten feet
of the top probably will have to be
rebuilt.
The monument was struck during
the electrical storm which swept
over the park about 3 o’clock Friday
afternoon. It appeared that the
lightning struck on the north side
of the monument, ran down the iron
stair rails, and out again at the cop
ing, which is about ten feet from
the top. The top of the monument
is cracked for ten feet and pieces of
stone weighing twenty-five or thirty
pounds were chipped from the stone
steps. The stones of the turret on
the north side of the monument were
pushed six or eight inches out of
alignment. The stones of the coping
ten feet from the top were pushed
several inches out of plumb on the
south side of the mountain. Eigh
teen or twenty of the steps at the top
are damaged and will have to be re
placed.
The monument has been closed
until it can be repaired.
R. B. Randolph, superintendent of
the park, said that lie woujd have
an immediate examination made of
the monument, and an estimate
made of the cost of repair.
“While I cannot say definitely how
much damage was done until a
thorough examination is made, I am
afraid that it will cost $2,000 or $3,-
000 to repair it,” said Mr. Randolph
“I have gone to the top of it and it
appeared to me that the top ten feet
will have to be rebuilt before it will
be safe again.”
The monument which was erected
to the famous John T. Wilder brig
ade is situated on an elevation in
open ground on the west side of ti e
I Glenn field. It faces westerly. It is
eighty feet and six inches to the top
, landing, and is ascended inside by a
spiral flight of 137 stone steps,
j The monument was begun by the
I brigade, and finished by the Chicka-
I manga park commission. It was
built about twenty years ago. It was
started by subscriptions received
by (he Gen. John T. Wilder Brigade
association. When the funds of the
association, a great part of which
was dontaed by Gen. Wilder, were
! exhausted the monument was turn
ed over to the government for com
pletion. It is circular in form and
built to resemble (lie turret of a
■castle of the middle ages.—Chatta
nooga Times.
ELEVENTH CAVALRY
TO BE RETURNED
Washington.—At the request of
C. H. Huston, of Chattanooga, Judge
Moon lias taken up the question of
the return of the Eleventh cavalry
|to Fort Oglethorpe, with Gen.

ance that the report that the Third
cavalry was to supplanttheElevenUi
was At the
first opportunity, he said, the de
partment proposed to return the
l Eleventh from Colorado to Fort
I Oglethorpe.
The war department is known to
have been considering sending one
cr more regiments of infantry end
additional cavalry to Chickamauga
park, when they are returned from
I Vera Cruz and along the Te.»as
border. Jus* hsw long they will re
main there is a "litter for futu.v
decision, but J’he Times represen
tative lias good authority for the
statement that had it not been for
the Mexican situation, necessitating
the presence of the remainder of
the troops on the border, Chatta
nooga would have enjoyed the busi
ness months ago or more than three
! times the troops heretofore at
Chickamauga.
It is known that both Judge Moon
| and Gordon Lee, as well as the Ten
nessee. Alabama and Georgia sena
tors have been working quietly to
that end for the past year. The
secretary of war, as well as the gen
eral staff, is. it is said, favorable to
concentrating the troops into larger
units Ilian heretofore, and they are
said to have virtually decided Fort
Oglethorpe is to be one of the places
for such concentration.
