Hobbs, of Lincoln County, were Indicted here on charges of soliciting and accepting bribe money in connection with the * reation of a now county. Hobbs has been arrested, and It is reported has confessed. astonishing statement cred- Tax Commissioner Hart, ad- made, and published In The i Sunday American, to the ef- it not exceeding one-seventh property value of the State Is 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.

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. 63,890,891 Attend St. Louis 'Movies' 8T. LOUIS, Dec.
