Property owners In Atlanta will pay
taxes of $22.50 on the thousand dollars
this yeat*. The city tax rate Is $12.50,
the county rate $5 and the state rate
$4.80.
Reports from counties and munici
palities on the tax rates Axed for 1900
are coming Into the comptroller gen
eral's office rapidly now, and the rates
vary widely.
For Instance Jones county Is paying
for a new court house and has Axed
county rate of $18.20 on the thousand
In Terrell county, where four dlspensa
rles nourish, ho county tax la levied at
all and none has been for years. Bron
wood, a small town in that county, with
a dispensary, has no tnxes to pay.
It Is noticeable that the counties hav
Ing dispensaries have a low rate of
taxation. Floyd, which splits the prof
its on the tank between the county and
city of Rome, has a rate of only $4.20
for the county. While the city rate
has not been reported, It will probably
be correspondingly low.
In the municipalities reported to date
Brunswick leads In the size of Its levy
with $14, while Hoschton levies only
$2.50 on the thousand to keep things
running. College Park assesses prop
erty owners only $3, and East Point
$7.50. Columbus has a rate of $13, Ath
ens, where a dispensary Aourlshes, $10,
Albany $11 and C'edartown $12.60.
Fifty-four counties have reported the
tax rate for 1906. These rates run the
scale from $2.70 In counties like Clinch
and Chattahoochee, to $16.20 In Jones,
$12.20 In Twiggs, $9,70 In Pickens and
so on down the list. Quitman has the
lowest rate reported yet, $2.20, while
Stewart comes a close second with
$2.50. The average runs about $5.
A study of the various returns are
very Interesting. Crisp la the only one
of the new counties to report Its tax
rate up to the present, the tax payers
being assessed $7 on the thousand.

Chester, 8. C„ Sept. 19.—A distress
ing end fatal accident occurred six

farce violently to the ground. He lin

DESPERATE ATTEMPT
TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Special to The Georgian.
Anniston, Ala., Sept, 19.—.Because
Grace Watson attempted to commit
suicide last night In the heart of the
tenderloin when the sheriff and police
officers called to arrest a friend of
hers, the officers were obliged In ar
rest her for her own protection. When
threatened with arrest the woman be
came crazed with fear and rushed to
her room for a revolver. This wax
wrested from her. The woman was ta
ken to a front room, where she sud
denly seised an Ink bottle lying upon a
table and endeavored to beat her
brains out.

CONFUSION CAUSED
THROUGH 2 FEE ACTS
Ry an act of December 6, 1894, the
fee for chartering a navigation com
pany I tv Georgia wan fixed at $50. On
December 17, eleven day* later, that net
was repealed and the fee fixed at $100.
The act of December 6 appears In
volume 2, civil code, page 72; the act
of December 17 (the fee bill) appear*
in volume 1, political code, page 38.
4 consequence considerable confusion
and delay often occurs In securing the
harter for such concerns from the
secretary of state's office. •
Usually Interested parties send
check for $50, and It becomes necessary
for the secretary to write explaining
the act of eleven days later fixing the
fee at $100. A case In point reached
the capitol Wednesday In application
for a charter from Balnbrtdge.
This simply stresses the necessity for
re-codlflcation of the laws of Georgia.
