STATE OFFICERS
Gov. Slaton Went Directly to
Headquarters and Procured
Ruling of Commissioner In
ternal Revenue.
Atlanta, Ga. Through th*» persistent
'/fort* of Governor Slaton It ha# he* n
definitely determined that the bonds .»f
sial* and county officers in Georgia do
not require government w iv tax stamps,
despite the ruling of Collector Rlalock,
*»t Atlanta otherwise. The governor,
who is a firm believer in state’s rights,
doubted the authority of the collector to
Impose the tax and by going straight to
headquarters secured a ruling in favor
of the siate’if officials.
The following letter to the governor
from W. H. Osborn, commissioner of In
ternal revenue, Washington, explains it
self :
“His Excellency, Governor John M.
Slaton. Atlanta. Ga.
"I have the honor of acknowledging
the receipt of your letter of the 10th
Instant In which you Inquire whether
bonds given by state and county officials
guaranteeing the faithful perfor man* - of
their duties are subject to the stamp tax
under the art of October J’rd. 1914.
“In reply you are informed that the
bonds given to a state or county by of
ficers thereof, guaranteeing the faithful
performance of their duties, lire not sub
ject to tax.
’■Respectfully.
"W. H OSBORN. Commissioner.’*
The controversy started In Georgia
when a clerk In the executive depart
ment called up the office of the Internal
revenue collector in Atlanta and in
quired whether off'cl d bonds were liable
to the ta v t’c informed tint they
wc’e. The gov»* nor felt that ttie tax

"ffic* -a. and wrot< a letter to Wash
ington to gaih an official ruling. Mean
while the governor's office was flooded
with Inquiries from anxious county of
ficials. They have been sived a total
of about one thousand dollars by the
ruling obtained by the governor.

Wlqil wife has not, some time or

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
NEGROES JAILED FOR
FIRE IN WASHINGTON
Washington, Ga.—Charged with be
| ing partu s who at an early hour Sun
day set fire to the handsome country
I home of Mrs. Green B. Adair, Senior,
i near Tignall, eleven miles north of
, Washington, Anderson, colored, and
his wife were jailed here Sunday
night.
They deny any knowledge of the
fire's origin.
Adair’s home was recently built at
a cost of about $12,000, and was
equipped with handsome paintings
and costly furniture, which were
brought here from Atlanta upon the
death of G. B. Adair, senior, in Atlanta
about a year ago. Only a few chairs
were saved from the building by Mr.
and Mrs. Marsh Adair and Mr. Spen
cer Adair, who had to climb down a
tree to safety when the stairway was
discovered ablaze. Mrs. Adair, who is
an invalid, was rescued by her sons
from the first floor by climbing
through the back windows. The total
loss will approximate $20,000, with
SO,OOO insurance.
At The Grand
“WITHIN THE LAW."
Smokeless powder, noiseless fire
arms and a Majrtm silencer, such as
the McNamara dynamiters are alleged
to have employed against their ene
mies, are adopted for the first, time on
the stage in “Within the Law,” Bayard
Yeiller’s thrilling new American piay
of modern metropolitan life, which
Selwyn and Company is to present
at the Grand again this season at an
early date.
These ingenious devices of modern
warfare —which makes possible the
killing of a person, with practically a
minimum danger of detection —are
adroitly introduced by the playwright
to inject an element of baffling mys
tery into the murder that forms one
of the exciting scenes of “Within the
haw.” Although the audience sees a
Pistol drawn and the character at
whom It Is aimed drep seemingly life
less, there Is not the slightest report
from the discharge of the bullet nor
the faintest trace of smoke.
It is the use of these weapons that
makes so puzzling the solution of the
crime in the play. In New York and
Chicago, where "Within the Law’’ is
the current dramatic hit, the play was
designated "the drama of the minute."
MAUDE ADAMS COMING JAN. STH.
Some time ago J. M. Barrie gave, to
Maude Adams a short play called “The
Ladies’ Shakespeare.” In this play
the author took “The Taming of the
Shrew,” and re-arranged it as the
lackies of today would have It. And
i< is obvious that the modern woman
would be better pleased that It were
l'etruchle instead of Katherine, who
was tamed. Miss Adams was so taken
with the humor of the play that she
lias been most anxious to produce It
and even though "The Legend of Leo
' ora" furnishes a full evening’s en
tertainment In London and New York
she has decided to give it in addition
to the longer play. The two plays
hould furnish a very alluring bill
and Miss Adams will undoubtedly be
warmly welcomed in them when she
Domes to this city, at the Grand on
Tuesday, January 6th.
RAYMOND HITCHCOCK IN “THE
BEAUTY SHOP.”
Raymond Hitchcock is the champion
major league hitter in the comedy
field of America, and his newest play.
The Beauty Shop,” is being voted
the best piece of musical timber
"Hitchy" has swung on the army of
glooms in several seasons. As a con
sequence the “fun fans” are stepping
on each other’s heels in their anxiety
to annex some of the chuckles that
transform the atmosphere of the play
house In which he appears Into a sea
of billowy bouyancy. Hatching
laughter has been Hitchcock’s princi
pal occupation for 10, these many sea
sons, but the flock he is flinging in
"The Beauty Shop" spans the horizon
of mirth. He is due to play here soon.
"THE OLD HOMESTEAD.”
“The Old Homestead," with a splen
did company and capable production
will appear at the Grand Wednesday,
January 6th, matinee and evening.
"The Old Homestead" was made fa
mous by one of the great character
actors of years ago. Penman Thomp
son, who appeared in this play equally
or more so than did Joe Jefferson in
“Hip Van Winkle.” Critics wherever
"The Old Homestead” has appeared
this season have been warm in their
praise of the company now present
ing it.
THE SMART SET OMPANY.
The Smart Set Musical Comedy
Company, composed entirely of negro
talent will he the attraction at the
Grand Thursday, January 7th. This
company, -n former appearances, have
always given a very creditable per
formance. It is said that the com
pany of this season is up to the stand
ard In every respect.
“POLLY OF THE CIRCUS."
Her charming naturalness Is a par
ticular asset of dainty little Klsle St.
Leon, who will appear in “l’olly of the
Circus" at the Grand New Year’s Day,
matinee and evening.
This graceful actress, who is still
In her teens, has achieved splendid
success In the title role of Margaret
Mayo's Irresistible remantlc comedy,
the longevity of which Is positive evi
dence of Its extraordinary worth as a
theatrical property. Miss St. Leon
was everywhere last season acclaimed
the most attractive of the several
I’oily s and It Is the confident belief
of her management that this season
she will add greatly to the honors she
has gathered to herself. Her Inter
pretation Is girlishly piquant, dainty
and graceful, free from affectation
and replete with a sprightllness that
1* capitivatlng. Her Holly is re
markably natural, this being a distinct
charm She capers nimbly and fluent
ly through the play, the audience’s ad
miration Increasing as the moments
pass. The management has also pro
vided a first-grade supporting com
pany and an admirable production,
the scenery being freshened and the
circus features strengthened.
