U. S. Beer Tax
Is Ruled Invalid
Georgia beer dealers need
worry no longer about ihe $1,
000 federal tax, against which
an injunction was obtained
last December from Federal
Judge William A. Barrett, for
it was ruled invalid in the Fif¬
th United States circuit court
of appeals in New Orleans.
There has been no attempt on
the part of the government to
collect the tax since Judge
Barrett’s ruling was handed
down, according to W. E. Page,
collector of internal revenue.
The excise tax, which was
imposed along with enact¬
ment of the 18lh amendment,
continued to be collected by
the government after the a-
mendment was repealed.
In the opinion of the court,
however, the excise tax “fell
with the 18th amendment”
since congress did not re-enact
it as a tax.

Tri-County Fair
Gai "*_i" u,mst
Rev. J. L. Hall, pastor of the
Ringgold Methodist church,
ami an official of the Tri-Co.,
Fair Association, was here last
Monday calling on citizens in
the county*
Air. Hall’s visit here was to
inform the people of the coun¬
ty of the vast importance of a
Tri-County Fair, which in¬
cludes Dade, Walker and Ca¬
toosa counties. A committee
has been appointed by the As¬
sociation to promote interest
among the farmers. It is the
plan of the Association to talk
with the citizens of the three
counties from time to time as
the project progresses.
Rev. Hall especially stressed
the necessity for a closer friend
-ship between the three coun¬
ties, which of course would
mean more co-operation.
Arrangements are being made
for prizes, espcially for the best
acre of corn, wheat, rye, oats,
etc., and for various grades of
livestock. A complete set-up
of the movement, with a rep¬
resentative stationed in this
county, will be worked out as
soon as possible.
Meetings in the interest of
the fair are held every 2 weeks
at 2 o’clock on Mondays in the
office at Lake Winnepesaukah.
