CHURCHSUNDAY
A most Unique feature of the
next Sunday night services at the
Methodist church will be the illumi
nation of the beautiful memorial
window, “The Rock of Ages,” by an
electrical device especially arranged
for this service. This inspiring spec

es over the country a<nd has been en
joyed by crowded congregations.
This is the first time Lawrenceville
people have had the opportunity of
witnessing it and doubtless a capac

time of the ilhimination, the great
hymn, “The OW Rugged Cross,” will
be rendered by Mrs. Sam G. Brown.
“From Galley Slave to Redeemed
Manhood”, will be the subject of the
evening sermon. This is the heart
gripping story of Jean Valjean, tak
en from Victor Hugo’s “Les Mise
rables.” Come early Sunday night.

DR. WIGGHLS PREACHED
AT M. 35. CHURCH SUNDAY
Dr. Wiggins, of Atlanta, centenary
secretary, filled the Methodist pulpit
Sunday morning, using as his text
Matthew 16:18, “‘And I eay also unto
thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this
Rock I will build my church and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against
it.” He dwelt upon the visible and
invisible church, stressing what
churches mean to any community.
He said in times of war any nation
■wifi give its sons, its wealth, its ajl
to help win the victory. We
do more in the Christian warfare.
The greater the sacrifice we make for
a cause the closer we feel to it and
those of us who stand shoulder to
shoulder in the conflict are the ones
/ho reap the rich rewards.
Dr. Wiggins is a magnetic speak
er with a winning personality, and he
made a profound impression on his
large audience.
At the evening service, the pastor,
Rev. M. A. Franklin, presented in
picture sermon Henry Van Dyke’s
“The Other Wise Man," which
throughout teaches a beautiful lesson
of unselfish service.

WOMEN ESCAPE
BACK POLL TAX
Atlanta, Ga. —Ir. response to an
inquiry from Judge James B. Park,
of cir.uit, Attorney Gen
eral George M. Nap : er Tuesday js-*
sued a state..'cnt in which he holds
that eGorgia women who have not
previously regi-s erod, may register
and vote in the county primaries and
the preferential presidential prima
ry on March 19, without paying poll
tax for l't'JC 'l 1 1 '.1.'.1i.
Judge Park, in his letter seeking
an opinion on this point, declares
the act of the state legislature at the
special session in the fall of 1023
changing registration rules for wom
en voters has caused considerable
confusion throughout the state.
In his reply, the atomey general
quotes extracts from Judge Park’s
letter and also the latest amend
ments to the registration law. He
then says:
“My conclusion is, that awoman
who has not heretofore registered
to vote, can now register for any
approaching election without paying
any poll tax for either 1922 or 1923,
and the law allows her until Decem
ber to pay her poll tax for the cur
rent year.
“A woman would need to pay ad
valorem taxes accruing prior to Jan
uary 1, 1923, just as men are re
quired to pay such taxes.
“And if a woman had registered
to vote for the year 1922 or the year
1923, she would need pay her poll
taxes for that year or years in which
she registered to vote. She could not
legally vote this year without paying
such taxes.
“However, she can register off as
a voter and he relieved of the taxes
but she would then be a non-voter.
“It may be posible that the pro
vision that women can register off
and avoid the payment of taxes is
an unconstitutional provision, as you
-uggest, because of the Tack of uni
formity in its operation; but, inas
much as the law says these women
rosy be relieved of payment of poll
tar who have heretofore registered
for voting the opportunity* i; uni
form as to women; and blind persons
and others are exempted. This ex
cmpticH wiil not be allowed, appar
ently, to those women who reg:stered
for voting hereafter. -In other words,
it would seem that this privilege is
to be exhausted upon such women, as
have heretofore registered for vot
ing who should now wish to register
off and thus avoid the payment of
poll tax.
“As I see it, the payment of poll
taxes by all etizrens who are allowed
the exercise of the elective franchise
is an obligation, and not an option.
“Our law makers, however, seem
to £ave beep inclined to encourage
only those women to register for
voting who are able and willing to
pay the poll tax.'”

WOODROW WILSON.
THE UNANIMOUS SENATE.
DID FORD TALK TOO SOON?
W. J. BRYAN PLEASE.
GREAT IS IOWAY.
Woodrow Wilson’s body rests in
the crypt of the great Episcopal
Cathedral at Mt. St. Albans ir. the
northwest section of Washington.
Woodrow Wilson’s real funeral,
the tribute paid to the spirit that
is not dead, spreads actually over
the whole world, and his was “a
pubic funeral” in the real sense of
the word.
The moment they are dead, men
begin to settle into the place that
history reserves for them. Today
with radio, telegraph, newspapers,
history works rapidly. Its judg
ments are as erroneous as in the
past, probably, but they are more
quickly rendered.
It is to be remembered that Mr.
Wilson’s public services were not
war time services only. Before the
war was thought of he had been at
work'on public problems. The Fed
eral reserve bank, that carried this
country through theTinancial strain
of war, was part of his work.
The land credits for farmers,
freeing the farmer from “respect
able” usury, in many directions,
had his intense care and devotion
In many directions he worked for
the public welfare, efficently, be
fore the devastating war broke
upon the world.
You come to the end of the book,
read the word finis and know all
that the book has to say. t is not
■o with the life of active man. His
lalt day comes, yet for ihm yop cam
not write finis, not after a year, or
the next; perhaps not for a thousand
years.
Woodrow Wilson, who held in his
hand more material power than any
individual has ever held on this
earth, went back into the ground
again. But how long the effects of
his active life will be felt on this
planet no man can say.
President Coolidge will observe
that tfyp Senate is in no doubt as to
public opinion on the oil scandal.
Some Senators would lose no sleep
over such a little thing as selling
the navy’s oil supply to private indiv
iduals, or paying a little cash (not
checks) to public officials, if the
thing could be put over quietly.
But the country is awake, and not
one Senator voted against Walsh’s
resolution calling on the President t >
cancel the oil leases. >
One wise man last week said,
“Full'd talked just sisty days too
soon.' If he had kept quit, this old
affair would have given him the*
Presidency. Perhaps he’d rather
have Muscle Shoals. His chancds
are good for that now. Any plans
that official gentlemen may have had
for turning that over to Insiders on
a “Teapot basis” will be kept quit
for a while, at least.
Secretary Denby, of the Navy,
says: I would do it all over again
tomorrow.”
Of course that does not mean that
the Secretary approves all the
financial trimmings that went with
the deal, the Government bonds
handed over, checks that were
given and not cashed, the valise full
of cath handed to a member of
the Cabinet of the United States.
Some of that, undoubtedly, Mr.
Denby would change.
What is more important, how
ever, than Secretary Denby’s opin
ion, is what Congress and the peo
ple will do.
They will see that is is not “done
all over again.”
One hundred and ten little Pom
eranians—very small fluffy pet
odgs—were exibited in New "''ork
City last week. Kach dog had a
nicely dressed lady, nurse or owner,
watching the dear little creature,
affectionately and faithfully. Those
dogs are worth more than SIOO,OOO.
Not far away, in an institutional
ward, you can find one hundred and
ten human babies, three or four
nurses taking care of the whole lot.
And all the babies put together are
hardly worth ten cents; in fact, they

CERTAIN INCOME SOURCES
ARE EXEMPT FROM TAXATION
frequently taxpayers include in their
income tax returns items that are
specifically exempt from taxation.
Among these are the following:
Proceeds of life insurance policies
paid upon the death cf the insured.
The value of property acquired by
gift, bequest, devise or descent.
The income from such property,
however, is taxable.
Returns of premiums on life insur
ance, endowment, or annuity con
tracts. Amounts received through
accident or health insurance, or un
der workmen’s compensation acts for
personal injuries or sickness, plus
the amount of damages received,
whether by suit or agreement, on ac
count of such injuries or sickness.
Amounts received as compensation,
family allotments and allowances un
der the provisions of the war risk
insurance and the vocational rehabi
litation acts.
Pensions from the United States
for the servees of the beneficiary or
another in the military or naval ser
vice in time of war.
A bonus paid by a state to its resi
dents who served in the military or
naval services during- the war with
Germany.
Allowances, whether paid by the
government or a person to one who'
performed no duties, as, for example,
to a widow in recognition of the ser
vices rendered by her husband, are
considered gratuities, or gifts, and
are not taxable. The rental value of
a dwelling and appurtenances thereof
furnished a minister of the gospel as
part of his compensation is exempt
from taxation.
Dividends or interest, not in excess
of S3OO received by individuals during
the years 1922 to 1926 inclusive, from
domestic building and loan associa
tions, operated exclusively for the
purpose of making loans to its mem
bers, are exempt from tax.
Salaries paid by a state to its of
ficers or employees.
Tax free income need not be in
cluded in gross income, nor need it be
mentioned in an income tax return.
Taxpayers who prepare and file
their income tax returns for the year
1923 early have a decided advantage
over procrastinators. A little time
and thought now in the preparation
of a return is excellent insurance
against errors, which result to the
detriment of taxpayer and govern
ment alike. The filing peiod ends
at midnight, March 15, 1924.

Jt
Plans Are Being Perfected to Make
Its Celebration Eight Years Hence
a Notable Event.
Washington, D. C., February 7.
That the tvo hundredth anniversary
if the birth of George Washington,
which will occur February 22, 1932,/
; h< uld be especially celebrated by the
nation, is contended by officials of
the Sulgrave Institute, which is al
ready arranging details of what is
hoped will be the most observed pa
triotic day America has ever cele
brated.
The governors of the institution,
of which President Coolidge is hono
rary chancellor, maintain that “no
event in all the history of the Amer
ican colonies and republic possess
the significance of good for all lovers
of liberty that was and is and always
will be found in the life and work of
Washington.”
Starting the work so far in ad
vance, according to officials, is neces
sary by ieo.3on of the magniture of
the plans being made and the neces
sity of having plenty of time to work
up public sentiment and perfect lo
cal arrangements. No town, hairdo,
or village is to be omitted from the
organization and no school, college
or institute of government, whether
national, state, county or town, bid
what will be asked to contribute its
part towards a huge glorification of
the natal day of the man who, more
than any other, has been responsible
for the growth of this nation, and
the ideals on which it is founded and
by which it lives.
Congress will be asked to estab
lish an academy of diplomacy for the
training of youth as statesmen, as a
memorial to George Washington
Pupils would be appointed as they
are to the army and navy academies.
Takes Precedence Over All Others.
The birthday of George Washing
ton takes precedence over all others.
His relationship to the craft is weil
known and his services to the fra
ternity wddely recognized. George
Washington became a member of
Fredericksburg Masonic lodge No.
4, Fredericksburg, Va., in 1752; be
came first master of Alexandria
lodge in 1788, and was made an hon
orary member of Holland lodge Mo.
8 of New York City. He was born
February 22, 1732, and 153 years
later, on February 21, 1852, an im
posing monument consisting of a
white marble shaft 555 feet high,
was dedicated to his memory in
Washington, D. C.
Elisha Kent Kane, the famous arc
tic explorer, was made a Mason in
Franklin lodge No. 134, Philadelphia,
in 1853. He was born February 20.
1820, and died February 16, 1857.
His father, Dr. John K. Kane, war
master of Franklin lodge in 1825.
One of the best known of Washing
ton’s generals was John Sullivan,
who was born February 17, 1740*
General Sullivan was an active Ma
son, having been raised in St.
John’s lodge, Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, in 1767. He was master
of his lodge in 1789 and was elected
grand master of New Hampshire in
■.he following year.
General Lew Wallace, famous as
soldier, author, and statesman, was
a member of Montgomery Masonic
lodge No. 50 of Crawfordsville, In
diana. His dashing bravery on the
battlefield of the civil war attracted
national attention to his vivid per
sonality. Later his novel Ben Hur,
“A Tale of the Christ,” for a long
time occupied a place among the best
sellers. As governor of New Mexico
he impressed himself very strongly
upon the young territory. His death
occurred on February 15, 1905.
A name forever honored among
Freemasons is that of DeWitt Clin
ton, who served as grand master of
Masons of New York from 1800 so
1819. He rendered conspicuous ser
vice to popular education and estab
lish!' 1 the first public schools in New
York state. He was a member c!

consumed bottle of whiskey on a
table in the room at the time of the
arrest.

40,0C0 CITIZENS DEMAND
RETURN OF STREET CARS
Akron, Ohio.—Discontinuance of’
the street railway service here,
brought about when the city refused
to renew the franchise of the North
ern Ohio Traction company and
grant a six cent fare insted of five
cents as formerly, was marked to
day by renewed demands by the
Merchants’ association for a quick
settlement of the transportation
problem.
The demands of the business inter
ests will be presented to city council,
together with a petition signed by
more than 40,000 citizens calling for
a return of street cars with the six
cent fare.
In addition to the action of the
merchants and citizens, the chamber
of commerce also is planning agita
tion to bring about a solution of the
street car situation, derating that
motor transportation is inadequate
to move the msses of the city’s
population.
