over August, 1969. This brings
state collections through the
first two months of the current
fiscal year to $ 1 36,75 1,915.20.
The commissioner labeled
August collections “much bet
ter than expected. We had an
ticipated an overall decrease in
August similar to the one for
July because of the new with
holding tax payment system
change from a quarterly to a
monthly basis."
In accordance with the new
withholding system, individual
income tax for August was
down $2,300,397.93.
“Encouraging, is the fact
that sales tax, up 5.9% and
motor fuel tax, up 4.8 per
cent, are continuing to show
steadily healthy gains.” Com
missioner Blackmon considers
these two tax categories Geor-

Commissioner Blackmon
pointed out that the decrease
in cigarette tax for August,
down $532,740 or 16 per cent,
does not represent a loss in
revenue but merely a postpone
ment of collections.
“The decrease is the result
of legislation, effective July 1,
allowing tobacco tax stamps to
be purchased on credit,’’ Black
mon explained. “This tax reve
nue will be paid up in subse
quent months.”
The commissioner’s forecast
for September was optimistic.
“For the same reason that July
and August have been low
months due to the withholding
tax change, September will
reflect a tremendous increase.”

Mass will be offered at St.

to check the reason” for their coming
off. Rogers said these are minor
things, but “it is important to us to
find out why they happen.” J. Arnold,
director of flight safety for Lockheed,
came to Chattooga County to recover
the lost parts. The Gilreath brothers’
farms are on Route 3, near Teloga.

Candidate
May Need
ToExplain
Richard L. Fullerton, a
Smyrna minister who is run
ning for Congress as a Republi
can, may have some explaining
to do to members of his own
party.
Fullerton has been running
as a conservative, blasting in
cumbent Congressman John
Davis and the Democratic
Party for being too liberal. But
last week the Rome News-
Tribune published a letter Full
erton wrote to Congressman
Davis just last year in which
Fullerton declared himself to
be an active Democrat, crit
icized the Nixon Administra
tion and praised Davis.
In the letter, Fullerton
wrote as follows: “I truly re
gret that we haven’t been able
to get together to get ac
quainted. Since I am here in
your district and you are my
congressman, since I have al
ways been an active Democrat,
and since the Republicans are
already doing such a poor job
of administration, 1 am sure it
will be much to your advantage
for us to exchange ideas.”
Fullerton then went on to
say that: “Congressman Ben
nett of Florida and Sen. Tal
madge, among many, were
lavish in their praise of your
abilities and point of view.”
Fullerton has already been
criticized by his opponent for
the Republican nomination,
Barry Thomas of Rome, for
being ashamed to wear the Re
publican party label.
In a letter to Cobb County
Republicans, Thomas pointed
out that Fullerton “does not
use the word ‘Republican’ in
his literature. I do not believe,”
Thomas goes on, “that the Re
publicans of the seventh dis
trict are going to select some
one to carry their banner who
is evidently ashamed to wear
the label of the party.”
