HEMER TAX
ISLONGOVERDUE
Special Agent Named to Get
Behind Savannah Dealers
and Hasten Payment.
Governor Brown has appointed Wil-
Hain Brown, of Savannah, a special
nt of the state to collect the near
i„ tax from Savannah beer dealers,
~ r% little ot which has so far been
remitted to the state treasury, notwith
.tending the fact that it has been due
since January 1.
The Savannah near-beer dealers al
ire backward about paying this
/ Heretofore it has been necessary
to jog their memories in order to make
them come to time, but never before
have they been as late as they are this
year.
The law providing for the collec
tion of this tax makes it the duty of
the ordinaries of the counties to re
ceive it. but provides no compensation
to them for the same. In many coun
ties. therefore, the ordinaries make lit
tle or no effort to get the tax in hand,
and in Chatham county no effort at all
has been made, it appears.
The state has had trouble collecting
this tax in a number of counties. In
Bibb It was necessary to make extraor
dinary efforts to get it, and in Fulton
the governor had to call the attention
of Solicitor Dorsey to delinquents in
order to make them pay up.
The governor has instructed his spe
cial agent in Chatham to get right in
behind the tardy ones there, and make
them pay the tax, without favor, imme
diately.
Special Agent Brown told the gov
ernor lie would “smoke them all out at
once." now that he is amply armed with
executive authority. Under the law,
Georgia near-beer dealers are taxed
S3OO each.

No Use for Atlanta Girls to Set Caps for Lipton
VOWS NEVER TO WED
Atlanta girls lured by a longing to
become Lady Lipton need waste no
languishing glances on the knightly
baronet who fills, but can not lift. cups.
For he has sworn himself to single
blessedness, and sworn it with a "big,
big D” as that other sterling mariner,
the captain of the Pinafore, "hardly
ever did.” <
Leap year has not died yet, though
its condition is low at this time, but if
it were the first of the magic fourth
year January instead of waning De
cember. the time would have no charm
on Sir Thomas. He has sailed the sea
of life without consort so far, and he’s
had such fair weather and favorable
wind that he’ll be scuttled before he
takes on any extra cargo when port’s
in sight, fo’ard light is shining bright
and all’s well.
He made his anti-matrimonial decla
ration on his way tjoward Atlanta, and
he made it so emphatic that he was
forced to resort to “cussing" to give
force enough to his declaration.
It wasn’t any knightly swearing,
either. like "by my halldome, St.
George and Merry England, I say it’s
all rot.” He used a good round honest
to goodness “damn,” and he didn’t spell
it like they do in English novels when
Sir Ponsonby Cholmondley says
“damme, sir, she’s a ripper.”
The statemnet was made in reference
to a widely circulated report that he
was engaged to wed a prominent young
society woman of Denver. When asked
about It, he said—and he said it like he
meant every word of it, including the
big, big D:
“These rumors lire coining up all the

Give Delicious “Syrup
of Figs.’’
Mother! look at the tongue! see If it
is coated. If your child Is listless,
drooping, isn't sleeping well, Is restless,
doesn’t eat heartily or Is cross, irrita
ble, out of sorts with everybody, stom
ach sour, feverish, breath bad: has
stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat,
or is full of cold, it means the little
one’s stomach, liver and 30 feet of
bowels are filled with poisons and
dogged up waste and need a gentle,
thorough cleansing at once.
Give a teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs,
and in a few hours the foul, decaying
constipated matter, undigested food and
sour bile will gently move on and out of
its little bowels without nausea, grip
ing or weakness, and you will surely
have a well and smiling child shortly.
With Syrup of Figs you are not drug

they dearly love its delicious taste.
Mothers should always keep Syrup of

needed —a little given today will save a
sick child tomorrow.
