MILLIONAIRE
TO DIE IN
ALMSHOUSE
Pineville, Ky.—Gustaye Saiomez,
80-year old millionaire, has come
back to the poorhouse here to die.

claimed, his wrinkled face wreated
in smiles as he accepted a few hearty
pats on the back and handshakes of
ne inmates he had destrted a few
weeks ago for a platial home in Mid
dlesboro.
For 30 years “Steve White, the
painter of houses,” dodged the mil
lion dollar inheritance left to “Gus
tave Saiomez.” And now he wants
tto forget it aIL
“Am I afraid of money? No, I just
don’t want any, that’s all.” Steve said
and Steve it is because that’s the
name he’s known by around here and
he likes it.
“It was mighty nice in that swell
home in Middlesboro, but I don’t
know, I kinds like it better here. Not
som any comforts, but well, I just
want to die happy and a plin no
body.”
The millionaire-pauper walked to
the poorhouse from Middlesboro, a
distance of 30 miles, because, he
smilingly said, “I was broke” He has
given the fortune to a brother..

RESOLUTIONS.
Duluth, Ga., March 4, 1924
In the passing this year of Mr.
E. Low and Mr. Charles H. Pittard,
two men, who for many years have
been closely identified in the af
fairs of this community, we have
suffered a great loss. Time only
will show whether this loss is ir
reparable.
Each left an imprint upon the
moral and social fabric that those
in passing may easily ‘see, “Ex
celsior.”
Mr. Low was born in Milton cou
nty, Georgia, July 1848, and came
to Duluth more than forty years
ago. He was in the merchantle
business practically all the time.
He was a leader in the Methodist
church, ami for years taught the
Men’s Bible Class in Sunday
school. He took a prominent part
in every movement for the up
build»ig of she town and its institu
tions. His position in things for
good was pronounced and he de
nounced in no uncertain terms things
evil.
The Old South, in Civil war, and
the reconstruction periods, were days
he lo.ved to live over and over again
and few living are so well versed in
the life and times of the good old
days before the war, the strife that
followed it, and the traditions that
placed honor and integrity first in
everything.
Mr. Dow married Miss Alina Vir
ginia Knox, who many years ago
passed away and in Tier memory he'
has always lived. One child, Mrs. j
Mary L. Wilson survives him. He
also leaves a sister. Octavia
Nichols, who has been a member of
his household for many years.
Mr. Charles H. Pittard was born
in Gwinnett county, Georgia, Nov.
3, 1356, and came to Duluth over
thirty years ago. He was one of
the organizers of the Duuth Baptise
church, helped to build the church,
was an officer and leading layman
While he was modest nd retiring hi)
views were never in doubt and his
personality carried movements to
success without speech.
Mr. Pittard married Miss Nancy
Johnson January 25, 1880, and
twelve children were born to them.
Mr. Pittard and eleven of the chil
dren survive him and reside in Dulu
th, where they make up a vital part
of the better citizenry.
Whereas, the Duluth Civic Im
provement club, deploring the loss
of two such men, who have so ef
fected the destimy of the community
therefore, Resolved; That we extend
sympathy to the breaved families,
and urge upon them the necessity of
prepetuating the acts and deeds of
these worthy departed citizens;
That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes, and - copies be sent
tto each of the families, and request
that the county papers publish.
Respectfully Submitted,
MISS NELLE SUMMEROUR,
M RS. J. E. CHRISTIAN.

SAM G. BROWN FIRES FIRST
SHOT IN CONGRESS RACE
Col. Sam 6. Brown made an ad
dress before an audience of Gwinnett
citizens on March 4th at the noon
hour of court in the court house. He
discussed the issues facing the people
as follows: Non-taxable bonds out
standing in the United States
amounting to thirty billion dollars,
these bonds bought up by the rich
who do not pay one dollar’s tax on
them, and he is against issuing any
more.
The only way to stop this is for
congress to pass the law and then to
be ratified by the legislatures of the
different states.
Mr. Brown also discussed better
reads, better country schools, and
co-operative marketing for the farm
ers.

national director of the Americanism

in this state. *
Hon. C. J. Haden, of the Georgia

Wilson Memorial.
The Georgia department of the
American legion has gone on record
in support of a state wide movement
to erect at Valdosta a living memor
ial to the memory of Woodrow Wil
son. the former commander in chief
of the American armies and navies.
There has been no leader in modern
history who has endeared himself
more to the rank and file of his sol
diers than the great war president of
the United States, an<? the American
legion of this state, comprising 10,-
000 ex-service men, has indorsed the
movement of the people of south
Georgia to erect there a college in
his memory and a suitable memorial
of the people of Georgia for the per*
petuation of his ideals and his prin
ciples. John R. Quinn, national com
mander of the American legion, has
indorsed the movement in a telegram
to T. N. Hendricks, of Valdosta, who
is chairman of the local American
legion committee.
FLORIDA AND TOURISTS.
Arthur Brisbane, a very observant
journalist and one of the largest
owners of real estate in the United
States, has been jourrneying down
to Palm Beach. He has been sizing
jp the people down there and he
concludes that visitors to Palm
Beach are made up of three classes.
First. People that have nothing
to do and seek the most agreeable
places in which to do it.
Second. Men that have too much
work and too much money, whoes
doctors send them away.
Third. Men that go South to see
wives who fee that if you are not
photographed sitting cross-legged on
the sand, at Palm Beach once a year
you might as well be dead.
We have heard that Florida as a
ter resort is intended for the very
young and the very old. The middle
aged do not get very much enjoy
ment ther because there is not
enough to do through the long sum
mer days. The kids like it because
they can be out of ooors and escape
the rigors of a Northern winter. Old
folk and invalids flock to Florida to
keep warm. Visitors to the Penin
sula State can pick out a great nu
mber of these midwinter residents
by the palsy in the limbs or the
sickly pallor of their faces. The
middleaged men and women who go
to Florida are not the very rich.
They are those able to own an auto
mobile and trek Southward when the
first frostr comes. They go to Flor
ida to live moderately and at small
exepense. They figure that it is
cheaper to buy food in Tampa or
Palm Beach or one of the smaller
towns in Florida than it is to buy
coal in Pennsylvania, Main or Ver
mont.
I Florida is not only the playground
of the nation, it is its fireplace as
well.

No Contest Planned
On McDowell Policy,
Insurance Man Says
Atlanta, Ga.—No contest will be
made upon the insurance policy on
the life of Mr. John M. McDowell,
former resident of Decatur, who
with his wife, was shot to death in
St. Petersburg, Fla., by their son,
Frank MacDowell, according to a
story published in the current issue
of the Insurance Fielij, quoting Gen
eral Agent R. G. Payne, of the Union
Central Insurnce company.
The article follows:
“Speculation as to whether or not
the Union Central would resist pay
ment of the ssfjjoQ ih»ura«ce, .writ-,
ten with a indemnity dame
and carried on the life of John Mac-
Dowell, of St. Petersburg, Fla., who,
with his wife, was shot by their son,
Frank MacDowell, February 19, is
ended with the statement of Gen
eral Agent R. G. Payne that in any
event the company will pay.
“The amount of the policy is to be
held in trust until the courts shall
have decided whether Frank Mac-
Doweli is guilty of murder, or was
insan t the time it was’ committed.
If he is committed to an insane asy
lum, the money will be expended on
him; if he is feed, it will be pid to
him, and if he should be found guil

paid to his mother’s relatives. Frnk
MacDowell is sole heir to his fa

tance of property valued at about
$12,000, will be introduced by the
state as the motive for the efrime.”

MEMORIAL COIN
VOTEPASSES
Washington,—Without a dissent
ing vote, the senate passed Thurs
day afternoon the Smoot bill author
izing the cojning of silver fifty-cent
pieces in commenoration of the
Stone Mountain memorial to the
Confederacy. Prompt approval of the
bill in theh ©use is expected.
The bill authorizes the director of
the mint to coin not more than five
million such silver pieces. Endorse
ment of the legislation was recently
carried in a letter from the gecrctary
of the treasury to Senator Smoot,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee.
Senator Walter F. George, of
Georgia, experessed gratification
Thursday of the senate’s action. He
had urged Senator Smoot for several
days to call the bill up for the first
opportunity following its favorable
report from the finance committee
by Senator Simmons, of North Caro
lina, on March 1. At the request of
members of the Stone Mountain
Memorial association, the Georgia,
senator sked Senator Smoot to in
troduce the bill and expedite its con
sideration.
“Crawfish” Feature of Proposed New
Tax Bill Does Not Affect Obliga
tion Now to Make Returns.
Atlanta, Ga., February 18.—The
“crawfish” feature of the new tax bill
whereby it is proposed to extend the
income tax reduction backward over
1923 taxes, does not affect the obli
gation of each one to make returns
and pay on the current schedules on
or before March 15, J. T. Rose, col
lector of internal revenue for Geor
gia, announced today.
Those who pay their taxes by in
stallments will get the reduction
taken off the last installment. If
the reduction is 25 per cent, as pro
posed, credit will be given for the
entire final installment,
a lump sum will have the benefit of
rebates, Mr. Rose explained. The
whole will hayfi.lo be scut in as bc-i
Fore, despite any enactment of con
gress affecting 1923 taxes.
Th.ose who do not come forward
and pay, either in lump sum or by
installment, will be adjudged delin
quent after March 15, and will be
subject to the same penalties as if
congress had never legislated on the
subject.
Promises Everyone Justice.
Reduction for 1923 can be very
easily handled, Mr. Rose stated, and
every ore will get justice, even down
to each red cent. But, at the same
time, the collector warned that it
would not be prudent in the least to
delay payment of the 1923 tax be
cause there is a majority in the low
-■r hoi se of congiess which pioreses
to ?,: ve the new income tax sched
ules extend backward over 1923.
Aliens Must Toe the Mark.
A jealous fatherland is the United
States of America, and very partic
ular is Uncle Sam as to who shall be
received into the great family of
citizenship as shown by the natural
ization act of congress, passed in
1906, as pointed out today in the fed
eral court, which alone has the power
to naturalize aliens.
Any alien to become a citizen of
the United States must “renounce
all allegiance and fidelity to. any
foreign prince, potentate, state or
sovereignty.”
He or she must swear tha,t he or
she will “support and defend the
constitution and laws of the United
States against all enemies, both for
eign and domestic, and bear true
faith and allegiance to the same.”
He or she must renounce nil titles
of nobility or distinction.
Aliens must be residents for five
years of the United States before
they can take out first papers.
He or she must declare on oath and
set forth in a declaration that it is
his intention to become a citizen of
the United States and to renounce
all allegiance to any foreign prince,
potentate, statg.’or sovereignty. There
are other requirements in sections of
the naturalization act, but renounc
ing other masters is the main thing.
TAX RECEIVER’S NOTICE.
I will be in my office all during
March court, except on Saturdays,

HORSE 53, IS STILL
IN LIGHT SERVICE
■
Bloomsburg, Pa.—Clover believed
to be the oldest horse in the country
recently observed his fifty-third
birthday anniversary in his stall on
a faarm near here. Clover is ap
parently in the best of health and
shows few of the infirmites his ad
vanced age would indicate. How
ever, he takes things easy nowadays
passing his declining years drawing
a country minister about his parish.
He does no heavy work. Clover

his only public showing since then
was in 1922, when he was sent to

KNOWN ONLY FQR MIS TOMB.
So much has been written of the
discovery of the tomb of King Tut-
Ankh-Amen, the youthful Pharoah
of Effynt who flourished something
like 3,000 years ago, and what might
possibly be found in it and the mum
my case, that it has seemed as if no
new word would be spoken on the
subject. Still there is a thrill in the
news that the lid of the great pink
sarcophagus has been opened, dis
closing “a stupendously magnificent
mummy case covered with piates of
solid gold.” There was an effigy of
the king in gold-—“a gleaming gold
man.” It is announced that the for-'
midable operation of opening the
colossal mummy case will not be un
dertaken this year. The richness of
the tomb has been emphasized from
the first steps taken in opening it.
Many articles, including leather
couches, elaborately carved and
painted boxes containing robes and
jewels, funeral offerings and palace
furnishings were removed.
The most significant thing about it,
of course, is the measure it affords
for the advance in civilization in es
timating the importance of individ
uals and leaders. As Tut had not had
time to do much of value, even if he
had had the ability, it is obvious that
all the honors paid him were due
merely to the fact of his having been
in the position of king. His tomb is
opened simply through a desire to
study the customs of the age in the
treatment of the royal dead; to see
what the tomb contains. Thus there
is more interest in the cloth wrap
pings that have endured for so long
than there is in anything done by
the young Pharoah when he was in
the quick. We may well imagine
that the practical-minded will insist
that the gold and other things of
value discovered in the tomb be put
to practical use. Some may figure
the waste of letting such a quantity
of gold lie idle for thousands of
years.
King Tut-Ankh-Amen will be
known in history only for his tomb.
But for a lucky stroke he would not
have been known even for that; the
place of his burial had for so long
been forgotten that its location now
is regarded as one of the greatest
discoveries. Both the man and hip
tomb would have so far as
the world is concerned, as if they
never had been.
Only a few days ago there waR
laid to rest in Washington, D. C.,
with the simplest rites a man whose
works will live inspiringly through
the succeeding ages. He represented
an age tlhat looks upon such dis
plays as those connected with the
entombment of the pharoahs as child
ish'—and that is a measure of the
advancement of humanity.

FROM LUXURY
TO NECEoSITi
When the automible was first pre
sented to the farmer he bought it, if
he bought it at all, as a pleasure
vehicle. Now he is buying automo
bile trucks to do his hauling. Govern
ment figures show that as an average
all over the United States it cost 15
cents to haul a ton of farm products
a mile with a motor truck where it
cost 33 cents to haul a ton of pro
ducts a mile with horses.
With this opportunity to reducing
iis hauling cost 50 per cent it is
only natural that the farmer should
be turning to the motor truck as a
means of getting his products into
town.
This matter of hauling is only one
of the things in which the farmer is
beginning to consider very careful
the cheapes) way of doing anything
He has come to realize that every
hour he spends in doing unproductive
labor .means an increase in tha cost
ofproducing his yearly crop and
hence a decrease in the net prof t
for the year’s work. He is coniine
to’ realize the great importance of
time and labor saving.
This is one of the reasons wh
the small electrict plant is becomin
such a factor in farm life and worl
Accurate satistics are not availabl
but it is quit resonable to assum.
that at least 150,000 farms i
America are bing served by these e
ectric plants. Electric motors, b
doing the pumping, grindgid, churi
ing, milking, separating and a hur
dred other farm talks either elimir
ate certain kkinds of labor altogethe
or make a two mans Job into a on
man job, and the farmer appreciate
this saving and time. Not only thi
but electricity on the frm through it
giving of bright, clean and saf
