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.

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 time.
