Recovery Fronf InfluenzsT
Hastened by
PE-R U-N r A
Mr. C. A. Allen, R. R. No. 2,
Bondurant, Iowa, gives testimony
to the healing power of Pe-ru-na.
Influenza left him much run down
in health with catarrh of the nose,
throat and bronichal tubes punct¬
uated with attacks of asthma. Ho
writes: <
"While recovering from the In*
fluenza I was so weak I could not
gain any strength for two months,
'The latter part of the winter, S
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na and
began taking it. My weight in¬
creased to 175 pounds, the most I
ever weighed.
My usual winter weight is 155.
If you can use this letter for any;
good, you are perfectly welcome.” |
Such evidence cannot fail to con¬
vince the rankest unbeliever of the
merits of Pe-ru-na.
Insist upon having the old and
original remedy for catarrhal con¬
ditions.

says Col. William B. Greeley, chief of

feature Is the rising cost of timber
products, which Is due primarily to
heavier transportation charges from
more and more distant sources of sup¬
ply. The second feature Is the un¬

of land which are not adapted to agri¬
culture.

Review Of Fifty Days' Session
Atlanta.-—By its action in tabling
bills calling for tax reform, the gen¬
eral assembly of 1923 answered, at
the eleventh hour the question which
has been asked most insistently by
the entire state ever since it met.
The most pressing problem before
this session, it was generally admit¬
ted, was to pass some kind of con¬
stitutional amendment bill to create
a new system of taxation for the
Btate in order to permit repeal of the
tax equalization law. Early In the
session the house passed a repeal law
which was Introduced by Stovall, of
Elbert, and stood on the calendar as
house bill number one, but when it
reached the senate, it was held In
committee and no action taken.
« • *
Income Tax Bill
The senate passed a bill, by Sena¬
tor Lankford, providing for an in¬
come tax and a reduction in the ad
valorem, with the provision that the
amount paid in ad valorem might be
deducted by the tax payer from his
Income tax payments.
Other important measures before
the house this year included a bill
calling for biennial sessions. This
was passed by the house, but left in
committee In the senate.
The general tax bill, as passed by
the house, contained additions from
the 1921 act which would have in¬
creased the state’s revenues by $2,
000,000, its proponents claimed, but
this bill was tabled In the senate,
therefore placing the state back under
the act of 1921 for Its special and
occupation tax revenues.
Two important new tax measures
were passed and signed by the gover¬
nor. Both of these were house bills
Mann, of Glynn, was the author of
one, which increases the tax on gaso¬
line from one to three cents per gal¬
lon, and provides that for the first
five years it shall be divided in threo
parts, one-third to retire the rentat
warrants on the W. & A. railroad, one
third to the state highway depart¬
ment, and one-third to the different
counties on a basis of post road mile¬
age.
The other revenue measure by Mill
ner, of Dodge, provides a ten per cent
tax on all cigars and cigarettes sold
at retail.
An important measure which failed
to pass was a bill by Ennis, of Bald¬
win, to provide a state revenue de¬
partment, to enforce the payment of
large amounts of special taxes which,
it Is stated, the state is not now get¬
ting. It was claimed that this de¬
partment could have increased the
state’s revenue by $2,000,090 per year.
Repeal of the tax equalization law
and enactment of a new system of
taxation was called to the attention
of the assembly in the inaugural ad¬
dress of Governor Walker.
In his first message to the assetn
bljrAnd in another special paper, the
governor again urged that liis program
be carried out. He submitted the
tax systems in operation in other
states for consideration. North Caro¬
lina, South Carolina, Kentucky and
Virginia ,were especially mentioned.
The highway department investi¬
gation was held and resulted in
charges brought by Representative
McMichael, of Marion, that the divi¬
sion was guilty of mismanagement,
inefficiency and wasteful of public
funds not being sustained. Mr. Mc¬
Michael, the only member of the leg¬
islative investigating committee not
agreeing to the majority report, filed
a minority statement In support of
his allegations against the depart¬
ment.
Prohibition appeared as one of the
principal subjects before the assem¬
bly for the first time in the past few
years, but from the beginning it was
realized by Dr. Craif Arnold, of
Lumpkin, that his measure to repeal
the state dry laws, thereby placing
enforcement of the Volstead act in
Georgia entirely upon the federal
government, would not be passed.
The bill was reported unfavorably by
the house temperance committee, but
in speaking to a point of personal
privilege Mr. Arnold, who said he had
never tasted whisky in his life, as¬
sailed the present enforcement of the
prohibition laws.
• » *
Committee Asks Confidence Vote
With but one dissenting vote, the
Bpeeial committee of the legislature
which has been investigating the state
highway department, adopted a re¬
port which is a complete exoneration
for the department.
Representative McMichael, of Ma¬
rion county, author of the resolution
authorizing the probe, who has acted
in the capacity of examining attorney
for the committee, will file a minority
report, disagreeing with the other
members in the majority of their
findings.

To Tax Gasoline 3 Cents A Gallon
The senate recently passed the
house bill by Representative Mann,
of Glynn county, increasing the tax
on gasoline from one cent per gallon
to three cents per gallon. The one
cent tax was imposed two years ago,
nnd tie Mann bill adds another two
cents on each gallon. The senate
vote was 26 to 15.

REFORM TAXATION SYSTEM
Announces That Within Next Few
Days He Will Make Public Names
Of Special Tax Commission
Atlanta.—Governor Walker made
plans to further actively aid the stats
and the legislature In finding the so
lution for the pressing problems ol
taxation reform.
He announces that he will name, in
a few days, the membership of a spe<
cial tax commission, composed of mem¬
bers of the assembly, representing
farmers, bankers, manufacturers and
merchants, to hold public hearings in
different sections; of the state and
make a careful study of the financial
needs of Georgia and draw up a ten¬
tative tax reform measure to submit
to the extraordinary session which
will meet in November .next.
This commission will proabbly hold
meetings, said the governor, in Ma¬
con. Savannah, Albany, Columbus, At¬
lanta. Rome, Augusta, Athens and pos¬
sibly other cities. Citizens generally,
and especialy those who have given
any stury to the subject of taxation,
will be invited to attend these hear¬
ings, make suggestions and, in turn,
receive the ideas of the commission
on the question. They will thus be in¬
thoroughly on the problem and
be prepared to discuss the mat¬
intelligently with their neighbors
fellow voters, and be ready to vote
with full knowledge of the situation,
whatever constitutional amend¬
ment bill the legislature finally sub¬
to the people for ratification at
the polls.
Governor Walker, in discussing his
for the call for an extra ses¬
stated positively that he would
include any other subjects in the
except taxation and the repeal of
tax equalization law. The spec¬
ified subject of "taxation,” however,
be broad in its meaning, and will
all matters pertaining to the
of the state, Including in ad¬
to the tax reform, measures, the
tax act, which was tabled in
senate after it had passed the
and measures Involving the en¬
of the tax laws of the state.

I. Barnabas, the Man (Acts 4:36).
HU original name was Joseph,
When he became a Christian, he was
renamed Barnabas signifying the
change from the old life to the new.
This was a common custom, for ex¬
ample, Simon to Peter and Saul to
Paol. The name means “Bon of
Prophecy” or “exhortation and con¬
solation.” This shows not only the
nature and spirit of Barnabas but
that he possessed the gift of horta¬
tory preaching. The exercise of this
gift made him a son of consolation.
II. Barnaba*, th* Philanthropist
(Acts 4:37).
So fully had the divine love per¬
meated the very being of Barnabas
that seeing the need of his fellow-be¬
lievers, he sold his property and
brought the money and laid It at the
apostles’ feet His generosity ex¬
pressed Itself tn deeds, not in pious
words and promises. He counted
nothing his own while his brethren
were in need. He was In no sense
obliged to do this as there was no
•uch thing In the early church as a
binding law of a community of goods.
Private ownership of property was
recognized. Acts 5:4.
III. Barnaba*, the Christian States¬
man (Acts 11:19-30), i
The violent persecutions of th#
church scattered the disciples. As
they went they preached the Gospel,
and churches were established. The
most conspicuous of these wns at An¬
tioch, the capital of Syria, because it :
became the most important center in
the spread of Christianity. Every¬
thing went well as long as the Gospel
message was preached to the Jews
only. The Idea held among the dis¬
ciples at that time was that the Gen
tiles were excluded. But at Antioch
certain of these disciples deliberately
preached Christ among the Greeks.
The seal of the Lord was upon this
ministry and great multitudes believed
and turned to the Lord. The news of
this revolutionary preaching reached
the ears of the church at Jerusalem ;
and caused not a little excitement and ;
discussion. The church decided to i
send a committee to Antioch to look '
Into the matter. i
1. Barnabas Sent to Antioch (w. j
22-24). Fortunately in this case they
sent the proper man. Barnabas was
a good man and full of the Holy .
Ghost and faith. Therefore, he bad
spiritual discernment and broad sym¬ j
pathy. Good men are quick to see
good. When he came to Antioch he -
If saw the have grace of God and was glad. j
we grace in onrsSlves, we will \
be able to see grace in others. He j
exhorted their work. and Mem urged like them Barnabas forward in j
are ;
much needed today In our churches— :
men of vision and Christian courtesy
and sympathy.
2. Barnabas Goes After Saul (w.
25-26). The work prospered that ; I
so
help was needed, so Barnabas went
after Saul. These men had been to¬
gether before. After Saul’s conver¬
sion, he came to Jerusalem and tried >
to join himself to the disciples but
they were afraid of him. Barnabas
befriended him (Acta 9:26-27). He
Saw that Saul was really a converted
man. Being a good man he could see j
there was good in Saul. Barnabas !
thus introduced Saul to his great \
work as apostle to the Gentiles. j
3. Diseiples Called Christians (v. i
26). After a year of teaching by Paul
and Barnabas, the name Christian :
wns given to the disciples. The name |
was associated with the teaching.
Paul taught the vital oneness of the
believer with Christ so It was natural j
that the dlsdpies should be called |
Christian.
A Barnabas and Saul go to Jeru¬
salem With Alms (w. 26-30). Because
of the oneness of Christians with
Christ and with one another, the dis¬
tress of the brethren at Jerusalem
must be relieved by the gifts of the
Uqlievers at Antioch. These gifts
had a powerful effect in removing the
suspicions of the brethren at Jeru¬
salem.

reason why such a steed should not

moment he had obtained a partial

a pony for a Christmas present. Dad
was put to his wits’ end to pacify the
young man without creating a scene.
So on the night before Christmas he

DEALT WITH MORTAL LIFE
There Are Ghotts in Shakespeare's
Pages, but Subject Was Not
His Province.
It Is sometimes said that Shakes
peare teaches little or nothing con
ceming life after death. The reply Is
that this was not his province. His
genius was to paint the life of this
world as he saw it. Mrs, Leo Grindon,
who is a considerable authority on
the bard and his works, maintains,
nevertheless, that our greatest poet
knew a great deal about spirits, and
In a recent series of articles entitled
“Shakespeare’s Ghosts;’ 1 she gives
much information in support of her
view. Taking “Cymbeline,” she shows
some striking parallels between the
“supernatural” element In that play
and the facts of modern spiritualism,
From “The Winter’s Tale” she selects
the trance of Henntone and her ap
pearance (in the ethevlc body) to
Antigonus while at sea. “Hamlet”
naturally Is fertile in illustrations
both as regards the action of the play
and the text.
