Should his friends choose him to represent Camden county, he is fully qualified to do so creditably. i "V To The Voting Public Of The Eighth District Owing to the financial crisis, in which we are all involved, I find myself unable to finance my campaign for Congress and must withdraw from the race, this election. The good people, for whom I have practised and who have stood by me for the past quarter of a century, are in such finan cial stress that they are unable to pay their doctor bills, and rather than embarras them by forcing collections, I have decid ed to withdraw from the race at this time. This does not mean that I am no longer a candidate for Con gress, but that I am not running in this election, but will continue to fight for'my friends and then just desserts and shall again enter the race, TWO YEARS HENCE, if I am still alive. I wish to thank all my friends who have stood by me with their support and encouragment, and to assure them that I shall greatly appreciate their support, when I enter the race again, two years from now. With kindest regards and every good wish for all, I am, Sincerely, A. D. WILLIAMS.

Taxes On Eighty Acres Of Land $1 Soon After War Atlanta, Ga., June 1, (GPS)— It cost a citizen of Talladega County, Alabama, just $1 own 80 acres of land in county in 1866, according to a hepefrt received in Atlanta. It also cost him a special tax of 10 cents, a male inhabitant tax of $2;40 cents tax on two mules and a special tax of 71 cents a year for the State and county upkeep. This is shown in a tax re ceipt issued in the Alabama county on April 23, 1866 to A. U. Richards, grandfather of Otis Richards and greatfather of Ray Richards, who lives on the old McIntosh Road below Ox ford, Alabama. The tax receipt issued so many years ago was carried to the office of an Annis ton, Ala., paper by Ray Rich ards, who also exhibited a poll tax receipt issued by his grand father, the late Thomas Rich ards in 1874 for $1.50, the re port said. it was shown on the receipt issued to the older citizen that in those days a tax of 25 cents was levied on clocks for private use, and that those who indulg ed in the practice of raffling off property would be required to pay $5 on each $100 thus dis posed of.

Around The Circuit with the Methodist Pastor THANKS TO THE fOUNG PEOPLE: I want to thank the Epworth Leaguers of our churches for their thoughtful gift to the pastor—a check covering his expenses to the Pastors School which is being held at Wesleyan College Conservitory in Macon May 30, to June 10. Surely there could not be found a more thoughtful and loyal bunch of young people than we have in the St. Marys, Kingsland and Woodbine churches. I greatly appreciate the gift and the fine spirit in which it was given. YOUNG PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY: Immediately after the close of the Pastors School there will be held at Wesleyan College Conservitory, the Annual Young Peoples Assembly, bringing to gether our young people of the South Georgia Conference. Wc hope that our three Leagues will each send a representative dele gate. Please dont fail to do this. The cost will be small and if the young people of this section will get together in a car the travel ing expenses will not amount to much. If any league has failed to elect a delegate, do so at your next meeting. DON’T FAIL. - Wet, Liquor Propaganda; The Truth Of The Matter: There has been a move on the part of a crowd of liquor lovers in our country 'ever since the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect to get the law re pealed. Billions of dollars have been raised and spent to fight for liquor to come back, false statements have been broadcast to poison the minds and pre judice the people against one of the greatest laws ever enacted. Wets claim: “Prohibition en forcement costs the United States billions of dollars an nually. The truth is: “Total cost of enforcement 1920 to 1931 was $284,156,524; collections from fines and penalties and revenues from taxes on lawful and dis tilled and fermented liquors was $548,588,884. The net is a BALANCE IN FAVOR OF THE GOVERNMENT of $264,- 432,260.” declares the Prohibi tion Director, Woodstock. The Wets Claim: “Prohibition has caused an enormous ec onomic loss.” The Truth Is: “The total uatidna! wealth in 1914 (before prohibition) was 192 billion dollars; in 1931 it was 329.7 billion dollars,” ac cording to the National Indus trial Conference Board, Feb. 20, 1932. The Wets Say: “Repeal mibition would put a million to work making luquors.” The Truth Is: “Department , Commerce reported to the .rate, January 11, 1932 that 4 (before prohibition) on ,000 men were employed in ' he manufacture of liquor. “In creased employment in the brewery industry would take hat much away from the soft .rink trade and there would be no net gain in total employes of dl industries,” according to Bureau of Business Research, College of N. Y. Wets Say: “Beer taxed three cents a pint would produce an annual revenue of $500,000,000 yearly.” TRUTH IS: To raise this sum, which is more than was ever raised before by beer, would re quire that every family in the states that permit beer, to drink 1700 pints of beer a year. YET SOME PEOPLE BE LIEVE THE WETS: Know the TRUTH, fight for the TRUTH, for humanity sake. MORE NEXT WEEK. M. W.
