lax digest is not doubted In
si by those who are well In
ns to conditions in my p»r-
m iil.tr section of the Slate." said a
well-known citizen and taxpayer of
Fort Valley to-day
"It is estimated that the total value
of the property of Houston County
returned to the tax receiver and now
on the collector's digest is $3,080,037
when, in fact, the true value of the
property In the county is near, if not
quite, .000,000
"The tax late has been fixed at $18
per thousand, and even tit this rate
it will require an economical admin
istration of the county's affairs to
meet the necessary expenditures, hut
it is hoped that a remedy will be
found in the operation of the new law
In reference to the appointment of
tax equalizers, which goes into ef
fort nex tr> ear.
"Tlie Board of County Commission -
era of Houston meets in regular
monthly session In Perry to-day, and
among the matters that will engage
their attention unq uestionably the
most Important is the selection of
the three equalizers, as required by
the law. It is the intention of the
board to appoint men who are compe
tent properly to interpret the intent
and carry out the expressed provi
sions of t tie law, thus entailing a
hardship upon no one, hut placing the
burden of taxation where it properly
belongs The members of the board
realize that the value of the law to
the State rests entirely with Its prop
er administration through the work
of the equalizers, and to the accom
plishment of that end will endeavor to
secure those best qualified."
The Invest {gallons of Judge Hart
have reveadd the fact that similar
conditions to those In Houston exist
all over Georgia, and that there is a
desire upon the part of the people lo
see them remedied. He believes the
law will effect a great general reform
in Georgia, and that within a year or
two everybody will be heartily in fa
vor of it. He experts it to accom
plish two desired things eventually—»
first, to increase greatly the income of
the Ft ate. and, second, to reduce the
tax rate.
Dr. Harvey \Y. Wiley —known in the
old days In Washington as "Old Bo-
rax" has declared hlrnself In favor
of Georgia cane syrup, as being bet
ter than all other svrups In the world.
Dr. Wiley is, perhaps, the nation’s
Very wisest food sharp, and what lie
nays about things gastronomic goes, if
what Anybody says goes.
"Old Borax" merely has affirmed a
platform, however, long ago that was
set up in Georgia, and never has been
knocked down. Hundreds of foxy pol
iticians in this State have been elect
ed to the office on a platform de< Fir
ing merely for the upremacy if
Georgia cane syrup. So many people
live, and breathe, and having the r
,belne in Georgia lovingly attached to
this delicacy, that if everybody In the
neighborhood who loves cane syrup
can be induced to vote for the cane-
syrup candidate, why, he hats his
ejection over, all right!
The only difficulty is that most Can
dida ?es are wise to the platform, and
nearly all of them climb upon it qui'*
and early in the camjSairn.
Comptroller General William A
Wright has sent the following letter
to all Tax Collectors In Georgia:
"To the Tax Collectors of Georgia
Gentlemen: I am advised by the Gov
ernor and State Treasurer that the
State is in urgent need of funds with
which to meet heavy drafts on the
Treasury which will be made between
now and the first of January. ft
will, therefore, bo necessary for you
to press collections as rapidly as pos
sible. The law requires that aU taxes
due the State shall be paid by the
20th of December of each year. Ex
plain this to the taxpayers of your
county, and urge that they make
prompt settlement of their taxes,
which you will please remit without
waiting for the first Monday in Jan
uary. in order that the Treasurer may
be able to meet all demands as they
mat lire.”
Both the Governor and th# Comp
troller are particularly anxious to get
this year’s taxes in hand as early as
possible, in rtrder to avoid treasury
embarrassments later along, and ev
ery taxpayer who settles up. there
fore. before January 1, at the outside,
will be doing, iri the opinion of the
Governor and the Comptroller, a gen
uinely patriotic and helpful service
to the State.
Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick
has written to the River and (’anal
Commission of Augusta for data to
be used in connection with his fight
In the House of Representatives for
Federal aid in building the proposed
levee protection against high water.
Mr. Hardwick wants to ascertain
as nearly as possible Just how much
Augusta lost by the 1908 flood actual
ly and an accurately estimated loss of
business resulting from the flood.
It will require a great deal of work
to get up the necessary information,
and at the next meeting of the River
and Canal Commission in Augusta
this question will be taken up and
active work begun securing the in
formation.
The business men of Augusta al
ready have guaranteed a fund of $ 1.-
000,000 probably to be raised through
a bond issue- -and Congressman
Hardwick feels very sanguine of se
curing the additional Federal aid nec
essary to complete the levee work.

Few stock companies have had the
temerity to present such an elabor
ate scenic melodrama as "Nobody’s
Claim,’* the play that Is being so suc
cessfully presented by the Jewell Kel
ley Company this week at the Bijou.
The company has been materially
strengthened of late by the addition
of several splendid actors, and the

Its fifteenth week with an excellent
cast.
Dixie Melodrama Popular.
Many years ago Bartley Campbell
gave the stage a real melodrama, with
Its scenes laid In the Southland. The
play was named “The White Slave."
Year after year this attraction has
visited Atlanta, and has always drawn
large and appreciative audiences. 'J’his
season’d production is probably’ one
of the best that has ever been given
and the play and the company with
out exception have been well select
ed. As In years past "The White
Slave" will probably do capacity
business the entire week at the Lyric.

Stage Carpenter to Ackter." which
contains a lot of comedy. Miss Nor
ton and Paul Nicholson in a sketch
written by Miss Norton and what she
terms a dramatic cartoon, have a
•cream of an act. The last act, which
is the headliner, is Miss Orford and
her Wonderful Elephants This is the
greatest novelty of its sort in vaude
ville Miss Orford, herself a very
fascinating little dancer, has three
elephants, who have been wonderful
ly trained, doing all manner of stunts
thought impossible for these huge
beasts.

In an appeal for public, co-opera-
tion for the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, Dr. John E. White,
pastor of the Second Baptist Church,
declared Wednesday that Atlanta's
example in reforming its civic life
has been felt througout the entire
country. Dr. White says that the
record of accomplishment is unparal
leled.
"Eighteen months ago the Evan
gelical Ministers’ Association of At
lanta. representing church©* with a
membership of more than 40,000 white
people in Atlanta, unanimously ac
cepted responsibility and control of
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment program." sold Dr. White.
"Fifteen months ago the pastors
of the evangelical churches, over their
individual signatures (published as
Men and Religion Bulletin No. 6).
pledged their confidence and devotion
to thk executive committee in an ef
fort to make an end of Intolerable
social ev’il in Atlanta.
Points Out Results.
"We now come to challenge the at
tention of the Christian public and
of the entire citizenship of Atlanta to
the actual results which, since that
recent date, have been achieved for
the moral progress of Atlanta and hu
manity through the executive com
mittee of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement.
"We submit that for actual con
structive accomplishment in so short
a time the record of facts Is unpar
alleled.
"First, the Daily Vacation Bible
School program has been firmly es
tablished. Two thousand five hun
dred and eighty children, mostly
alien to the churches, have been gath
ered for five weeks In elementary Bi
ble study and practical handicraft
under the direction of 57 consecrated
Christian teachers. Plans now in
hand provide for 5,000 children with
100 teachers next summer.
“Second, a revolution has been
wrought In the attitude of Atlanta
toward the traffic in vice. The pro
tected houses of prostitution have
been abolished. Atlanta Is placed on
the hilltop of country-wide admira
tion for the most thoroughgoing and
successful dealing with vice ever
achieved in an American city. We
have dealt constructively and sys
tematically with the consequences fol
lowing the overthrow’ of capitalized
and professional traffic in woman
hood We have dealt 1n Christian
helpfulness and unstinted brotherli
ness with 162 unfortunate girls and
women.
Homes for Wayward.
"We have established the Martha’s
Home for Wayward Girls at a cost
of $12,500 for property and main
tenance.
“Through the County Commission
ers of Fulton County we have secured
the establishment of a home for in
corrigible females which is now in
the course of erection on land set
apart for this purpose.
"We have secured through the
Georgia legislature the Georgia
Training School for Girls, with an
Initial appropriation of $20,000 from
the State.
‘Third. Through our Prison Reform
Department, under the direction of
Philip Weltner, we have wrought the
beginning of a new day in the treat
ment of prisoners in Georgia by se
curing on our statute books the pro
bation law for first offenders.
"We have successfully appealed to
the Prison Commission for an order
abolishing the custom of indiscrim
inate desecration of prisoners by
convict stripes.
"Fourth. Joining hands with the
forces of organizeil labor, we have
defeated a determined effort to over
throw the Christian Sabbath in At
lanta by opening theaters on Sunday,
which was carefully aimed as the
opening wedge to a general desecra
tion of the day of rest in our city.

BRIEF VISIT
Unannounced Rnd unattended,
Prince Julius Nicholas Loudowensky,
a member of the Russian nobility,
with his wife, visited Atlanta Wed
nesday morning. With the princess,
the prince walked from the Terminal
Station to Peachtree street and up
through the shopping district to the
Carnegie Library.
The princess stopped In a dry
goods store and purchased a 25-cent
box of face powder.
Prince Loudowensky Is connected
with the government library, and
lives at No. 26 The Stradevous. St.
Petersburg. Russia With his wife,
he has been in America for eight
months. They have Just returned
from the West and left Wednesday
noon for New York on the Southern.
To the Imaginative public, the
Russian noble would have been mis
taken for a Cincinnati barkeeper. He
says so himself, and smilingly ad
mits that he knows what they look
like.
Prince Loudowensky is neither tall,
handsome nor the wearer of a Van-
► Dyke beard. Instead, he Is short, fat
and wears a wee bit of whiskers on
his chin and a small mustache.
“I like America very much,” said
Prince Loudowensky. "What I saw
of Atlanta looked very business-like,
and everybody was hustling here and
there as though in a great hurry.
"But that is typical of Americans
—they all seem in such a hurry to
do things, but—” he added
"Your President isn’t hurrying the
Mexican situation,” amd the prince
laughed, hut refused to express him
self further on this point.
His wife was a motherly looking
little lady, and proudly announced
that she has three children waiting
for her In St. Petersburg.
"I will be glad to get back to
them," she declared.
Both the prince and his wife speak
excellent English, as well as Ger
man, French and Spanish.
Prince Loudotvensky is 47 years
old.
They will return to Russia in the
next two months.

Can One Man Startle the
Whole World by the
Weirdness of His Suicide?
That’s what Gabriele D’Annunzio, the noted Italian poet and
dramatist, promises to do, now that he has grown weary of all
human emotions, and Paris fears he will follow the example of
the Greek philosopher who hurled himself into the boiling cra
ter of Aetna. The complete story of this eccentric character’s
most eccentric plot will be told in
Next Sunday’s American
With it will be a more cheerful page dealing with what the
stars foretell for
Two of the Most Interesting People In the
Universe, Vincent Astor and His Bride
*
And continuing on the whole scale of human emotions.comes
another installment of the most extraordinary human docu
ment ever written,
The Story of My Life by
Evelyn Thaw
News? Yes, all of it, from the most crowded metropolis to
the very borders of civilization. You can’t be up to the minute
