! THE TAX RATE.
’ It has long since Imen ascer-
Itnined that two things are cer
tain, and that is death and
taxes. Everybody has to pay
lax, no matter where he lives,
if he holds any property, but it
is sometimes interesting to see
the difference between the
amount paid hy tho people in
the same locality.
The Constitution has pub
lished the tax rate in tho sever
al counties of the State. All
of thorn have to pay the same
State tux, which is $6.21 on
tho thousand.
The county rate in North-
East Georgia varies in amount
as follows:
Clarks $8 60
Cherokee 8 60
Cobb 4 44
DeKalb 4 79
Forsyth 0 29
Fr-nklin 4 79
Gwinnett 8 20
Habersham 8 40
Hall 4 79
Jackson 0 29
Milton 4 79
Newton 4 96
Rockdale 6 80
Walton 7 04
Thus it will be seen that Gwin
nett pays less tax than any
county in this section of the
State; that we do not pay half
as much county tax ns Clarke,
Haliersham or Walton,
This speaks well for Gwin
nett. We have a large county,
with first class public buildings,
good roads, bridges, and a thrif
ty. enterprising people.
We have no reason to com
plain at onr taxes, for they arc
wer thau in any county in
Ibis section.
th the exception of two or
ehfee- counties we pay less tax
ukan tur other county. The
crjizt'um that pay the highest
•ax are:

ESEQI'ALITY OF PUNISH
KENT.
-«mb* >f the pa|>ers of this
5* are discussing the inequal
r, t A punishment. The law
)•»-. ~ fe a wide discretion in
tils wig** that there is no uni*
jemity is the amount of pun
*nm* t infl.cted for the same
*r rs* In some circuits the
takes a fancy that he can
«p certain violations of
•.,1.- y imposing heavy and
■an—l paL lshnients, while
cr.nse- of higher grade
ft* tM lignt. In others a poor
/>-i who has no influential
frsei.d* 1* given the extreme
pe sity, while a party who ha*
• •scking” g*-ts off with the
j past fine or imprisonment
pr*-*cr. bed.
Whether this wide discretion
should be allowed to stand is a
matter to lie discussed.
For instance, for almost any
misdemeanor the judge can fine
a thousand dollars and set the
pri- tier to work in aebaingang
for twelve months. It is sel
dom < ur judges impose the full
extent of the law, but this large
discretionary power results in
different grades of punishment
in different circuits. In other
words, an offense committed iu
one county subjects the offend
er to go to ths chaingaug for
six or twelve months, in the ad
joining county for the same of
fense he cun get off with ths
payment of a fine of S2O.
THE EPIDEMIC.
There is no sign yet of the
ending of the fever in the strick
en districts along the coast.
There are now under treatment
in New Orleans 2fk> patients lie
sides some forty discharged.
In Mobile there have been
li t cas< a s, 02 discharged and 18
deaths.
At other points the number
of cases are decreasing, proba
bly on account of the want of
material to work on.
The number of deaths in com
parison with the number of
cases show that the diseuse is
not as fatal as usual. It is to
be hoped that by the first of
November the appearance of
frost will eml the epidemic and
the thousands ot refugees can
return home.
Sonora Cisneros, daughter of
the Cuban President aud who
has been in prison charged with
some political crime, has made
her escape. She was aided by
outside friends.
Great interest in the young
lady was taken by prominent
people of the United States,
Mrs. Jetfursou Davis and others
had made a strong appeal to the
iu bar behalf.
DALTON’S GANG.
For years there hue been a
gang of car breakers at Dalton
and vicinity who have stolen
thousands of dollars worth of
goods from the railroad. The
plan of operation was for some
of the gang to get aboard a
freight 1 rain at a water station
and while tlm train wns run
ning to throw off such goods as
could be easily sold. Other
members of the gang were con
cealed at the point where the
goods wore thrown off who
seized them and hurried away.
They are known ns the Hohanon
gang, and have l>ee» engaged
in this business for year*.
It is charged that certain
merchants at Dalton were ac
customed to purchase the sto
lon goods, and in that way aid
the thieves indisposing of their
plunder.
The arrest and indictment of
a large number of the gang has
created intense excitement in
Dalton. A member of the gang
has turned state’s witness slid
given the entire snap away. It
is not known how many eiti
zens are connected with the
gang in one way or another. A
large amount of goods have
been discovered in the posses
sion of the gang.
WKYI.NR GOES.
a ——a
Gen. Wavier, the brutal
Spaniard who was sent to Cuba
to crush out the rebellion with
fire and sword, is to go home in
disgraee.
When a military man makes
a failure the world d esn’t stop
to enquire the cause but lets
him quietly take a back seat
and mope over bis misfortunes.
When a man of high military
character stoops to pene ution
and shedding innocent blood to
carry 011 his conquest he meets
the acorn of good people in
every land. And when he falls
ha fall* to rise no more. If the
history of lua cruelties wore
written, it would fill a book of
horrors that would make the
tlesh of an Appachee Indian
crawl. Discourse has simply
solidified the insurrection he
was expected to crush and he
ought to have a monument ol
the bones of the dead lor which
he is responsible.
THE LONG DROUGHT.
The long drought we have had
in Georgia this fall seems to
have extended throughout the
country. It has not been of a
local character. The great
west has suffered more than we
have because her crops are
later. In the South the main
crop matured before the dry
season began. Only the cotton,
pea, potato and turnip crops
have been seriously injured.
But in the North West the
drouth has cut off the corn crop
materially and the great Wes
tern prairies are so dry that
they are subject any day to de
vastation by fire.
Some scientists have conclu
ded that the time is comiug
when the country will dry up
and be ready for the great cou.
flag ration. For forty years
they sav, the rainfall has been
gradually decreasing and in
eight years the amount has de
creased 60 per cent.
in some sections cattl* are
dying for water. It is said that
we are ten inches Ix-hind in
water up to the midd’e of Sep
tember.
THE DEMOCRATS MUST GO
Collector Rucker is discharg
ing a number of Democrats who
have had snug berths iu the
Collector’s office in Atlanta
And it is given out that every
Democrat iu the employment
of the government will have to
go. There are a dozen appli
cants for every office, and they
are anxiously uwuitiug for an
other distribution of the‘loaves
and fishes.’
A uew sclinmo has been adop
ted to dodge the civil service
law: this is to abolish the office
and leave the applicant nothing
to do but pack up his grip; as
soon as the applicant gets out,
the office is re-established and
a new horse is brought in.
STRANGE *TASTE~*
Maoon is have a cart ival and
one of the attractions advertised
is a collision us two steam en
gines at a high rate of speed, iu
which each engine is exacted
to knock ti e other into frag-
I uieiits. The iiovol idea will
catch the crowd. The two en
gines have been purchased, u
rail road track built and the
I crowd at u safe distance is to
I watch the work of distructiou.

I’KN ITENTIA BY C< >M MIS
SION.
It has been suggested that if
the Legislature concludes to
adopt a penitentiary commis
sion, which will look after the
convicts of the State, t 1 at there
are prominent and well known
citizens of the State who will
undertake the job free of ex
pense, except actual traveling
expenses.
If this can be done it will
save the State from nine to ten
tlintiHnn<r a year, and will meet
popular approval.
BROOKS MAKES A NEW
MOTION.
Bud Brooks, who is nuder
sentence of death in Jackson
county, and whose case is in
tho Supreme court, has filed an
other motion on extraordinary
grounds. It is that Reynolds,
in making his statem-nt jnst
before he thought he was to d e.
changed his story. On the tr.al
he said Brooks struck the fafai
blow; he now says that Brooks
was not present when Hunt «a
killed, but assisted in putting
him iu the river and reeetv •:
part of the money.
