The NewS'Herald. Katered at LawrMc*Tiil« post-offer u •eeooo-elsSs Matter. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Official Organ Gwinnett County. UfTOCCTiile Publishing Co., Proprietors. W. Oh. McNslley, Editor. The Southern Railway ha* an nounced the appointment of How ell Peeples as commercial agent at Atlanta. He will succeed Henry S.Jackßon,whose resignation tak-g effect Sepl. 1. The country around Crawford, Antioch and other places near Ath ens, was visited by a bard rain and ha»l storm Thursday after noon. Considerable damage was done by the hailestones, but the showers were a great blessing to the thirsty soil. The total tax returns for Floyd county for the year foot up $7,- 768,615, a net increase of 1494,188 over last year. When the default ers' list is made up and correc tions in the last year’s report are verified, the increase will show about 1800,000. Mr. E. Bancroft, Sr., an aged and prominent citizen of Athens, became violently insane Friday night, and it was necessary to put him in the county jail. He has been tried on a writ of lunacy. Two years ago he was placed in the asylum, and it was thought he was entirely cured. The indictments of eight or more of the proprieters of gam bling houses in Savannah have been returned by the grand jury, and they will be hauled up before the court before long to make payment of the usual tine of 11,000 each. That is the amount which Judge Falligatit has ugually fined them. About the queerest case that ev er came up in the police Court of Atlanta was tried Friday after noon. John Jackson had cut off a mule’s tail with a pruuing knife, and the charge against him was cruelty to animals. It was un doubtedly the wort case of cruelty to a beast that Dr. Carnes, the su perintendent of the Society for the Preventation of Cruelty to Ani mals, ever had to contend with. The Savannah Cotton Exchange has declared in favor of the stand ard bale, 24x54. This will have an important bearing in favor of the rectangular bale in the contest with the round one for supremacy. The main objection to the round bale is that the presses that make them are controlled by a trust and can’t be owned by those who oper ate them. That, in itself, is con clusive against that bale. The Committee of the State Fair having charge of the eight days of racing, has just completed the program of events. The doc ument is an interesting one and is now in the hands of the printer. As soon as received it will be sent out all over the State to those in terested in matters of this char acter, and it is confidently ex pected that a number of fine hor ses will be entered to run for the handsome paizes offered. Thursday evening, near Bogart, a negro man attempted to assault the 12-year-old daughter of Mr. Jessie Whitehead, an Oconee coun ty farmer. The young girl was walking along the road when the negro attempted to catch her. She ran for dear life, screaming as she went. She must have run at least two miles before she met anyone to tell about the occur rence. She was pretty well ex hausted by her effort. The negro was frightened away by the cries of the young girl, and beat a has ty retreat through the woods. As soon as the girl told her thrilling experience, a number of white men banded themselves together and started out after the fellow. They did not know the negro, but have a good description of him as given by the girl. The supreme court has really made a remarkable record for the session which was brought to an ' end last week ; a record that must be a matter of great pleasure to the justices and a matter of pride to the state, and especially the legal fraternity. The total cases heard during the past session is 914, and out of this total number there were 775 wiitten desisions. The court began its session on October Brd and has been in ses sion continually until a few days ago, when it took a recess for thi remainder of the summer. It would be a difficult mattei for any one unacquainted with the work of the court to imagine just the nature of the work and the amount that is necessary to be accom plished iu the judicial manage ment of the state. OASTORXA. taste >»T>»« titu) Yoa HavaMways Bought TAX SATE REDUCED. Constitution 15th in»t. The state tax rate estimated on the return of $154,000,000 of taxa ble property was assessed yester day morning by Givernor Caualer at 5.86 on SI,OOO With the rate at $6.21 last year it s seen that the chief executive has ordered a decrease of almost $1 on SI,OOO and in this way mak ing the burdeu of taxation lighter on every property owner in the state. To the general purposes of state government, $8 out of ever SI,OOO collected for taxes will be devoted, while to the common fund this year is apportioned $2.10 at the same rate for its maintenance. In conformity of the act of the legislature which requires that during the years 1899 and 1900 the sum of twenty-six one-huu dredths of a mill be taken out for the sinking fund of SIOO,OOO, the amount has been levied in addi tion to that for government and education. In case a percentage should be levied in the interest of the sinking fund that, would ex actly make SIOO,OOO in two years, it would be found that the sum re alized would fall short of SIOO,OOO ou account of the default lists id every county digest. It is necessary therefore to levy a rate that will make $107,000, thus taking into account the shortage usually due to mistakes in the digests and the default lists. The state tax is used as a basis for levying the county tax, but the percentage taken out for the sinking fund cannot be taken into account by the coouties, this being done to prevent the levying of more taxes in the counties than is authorized by law. There is every indication now that when the last county digest has been, received it will be found that the increase in the value of takable property in the state has appreciated between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. The return of Whitfield county was made yes terday and showed au increase over last year of more than $200,- 000. The digests of Bibb and Richmond are yet to be returned. These counties are among the richest in the state and from Bibb especially a big increase is looked for this year. Owing to the de structive fire that swept away au entire block of business houses in Augusta, it is more than proba ble that Richmond will show no decided gain. Following is the order of Gov ernor Candler fixing the rate : Executive Department, At lanta, Ga., August 14,1899. — Pursuant to section 1 of the tax act, approved December 22, 1898, which requires the governor, with the assistance of the comptroller general, to levy a percentage on the taxa ble property of this state suf ficient to meet the require ments thereof not to exceed a certain per cent named there in, and after approximating as nearly as practicable the amount of all taxable proper ty in this state as shown by the digests and other returns: It is Ordered, That three mills be assessed and collected upon the amount of the taxable property returned bv or assessed against ‘•ach taxpayer, and upon which the value of all property iu the state subject to taxation ad valo rem for general purposes. Further ordered, that iu addition to the three mills, above ordered, an ex tra per cent of two and one-tenth (2 1-10) mills ba assessed and collected iu conformity with an act approved December 22, 1898 (providing for the support of com mon gchools), upon the amount of taxable property returned by or assessed against each taxpayer, and upon the value of all property in the state subject to taxation ad valorem. Further ordered, that in addition to the 8 mills and the 2 1-10 mills, above ordered, an ex tra per cent, of twenty-six one hundredths of one mill (26-100 mill) be assessed and collected for a sinking fund in conformity with the act approved December 24, 1896, to retire maturing bonds of tbe state upon the amount of the taxable property returned by or assessed against each taxpayer, and upon the value of all property in the state subject to taxation ad valorem, the whole state tax hereby levied making five and thirty-six oue-huodredthß (5.86) I mills for all purposes for the year 1899. Allen D. Candler, Governor, Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller General Applications for space for ex hibits continue to be received by the state fair committee and from the claims made by all who have been accommodated to date, it is expected that some unusually fine exhibits will be made. A conces sion has been recently granted to a company exhibiting a number of Philippine natives and their modes of life, and this, consider ing recent happenings, will be one of tbe moat interesting things to be seen at the fair. FERRY SEXES THE ADVANCE, On September Ist next, The Cherokee Advance, the official or gan and only paper in that county, will change ha.ids and ownership, as Ben F. Perry has sold out to John M. McDowell, and will on that day sever his connection with the paper and retire from journal ism for at least awhile. Mr. McDowell wiil continue the publication of The Advance, and having been connected with the paper for several years, it is pre dicted that he will make The Ad vance more progressive than in the past. Mr. Perry will go into the bank of Canton the first of next month as assistant cashier and bookkeep er with William Galt, whr suc ceeds Captain John B. Richard as cashier. Captain Richard will move to Atlanta, being a member of the wholesale shoe firm of Dra per-Coggins, Shoe Company. NEILL’S COTTON FIGURES- Memphis, Aug. 14.—A special to the Commercial-Appeal from New Orleans says: Henry M. Neill, a cotton crop expert of this city, who prediced the enormous cropß of 1897-98 and 1898-99, is out with a forecast indicating that the crops now maturing will exceed any of these any may reach the unprece dented total of 12,000,000 bales. In a circular issued today, he said : “On August 18, 1898 I stated that the promise of the crop of 1898-99 was equal or superior to that of 1897-98 in every state and vastly better in Texas, and the outlook, even with somewhat un favorable conditions, thereafter was for a crop of 10,500,000 as sured, with 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 more within the range of possibil ity. “The crop turned out about 11,- 250,000 bales in spite of the most severe winter ever known in the South, during which a vast deal of cotton was lost in the fields. That it would have reached 11,- 750,000 bales and perhaps 12,000,- 000 but for the heavy loss, is now generally admitted. “For the present crop I am sat isfied that on the average the promise per acre is fully equal if not superior, to that of last year at this date.” RETURNS OF PERSONAL PROPERTT. Day by day the necessity for more stringent tax laws becomes more apparent. Day by day it is more clearly demonstrated that real estate bears the burdeu of taxation, while personal property is hidden out and escapes. It is astonishing to note how much of this hiding of personal property from the tax gatherer is done in Georgia. It is done iu every city and county in the state. If a man owns real estate he cannot evade taxes, but if he owns personalty he can evade the payment of his just and equitable share of taxes and in thousands of instances such evasions are resorted to. A study of the tax receiver’s books opens the eyes of the investigator. He wonders how people can get their consent to give in their per sonal property at such ridiculous ly low figures. The study of all the insurance policies in force ou the same personal property would be equally interesting if the fig ures could be placed side by side with the tax returns. There is a different standard by which tax returns aud insurance policies are graded, but it does not warrant any such discrepancies as exist in reality. A man has no more right: to evade a tax on personalty than | on real estate. Simply because he cannot evade it on real estate' is no reason why he should evade it on personalty. It is his duty to his state, county, his city, himself and his God to make a correct re turn of all the property he posses ses. It is a great pity that per sonal property haß to be dragged to the light of day by the force of the law, but such is the situation and it must be met. The tax commission will have held its ses sions in vain if it fails to report a bill to the next session of the leg islature that will be adequate to the necessities of the situation.— Exchange. * The Thorn Comes Forth With Point Forward.” ‘The thorn point of disease is an ache or pain. But the blood is the feeder of the 'whole body. Purify it with Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Kidneys, liver and stomach will at once respond ? No thorn in this point.
