SPECIAL TAX WAT
BELOW LAST TEAR
Total of Ten Thousand Dollars
in 1922, While It is Just a
Little Above Six, Thousand
This Year.
Just a little over half the special tax
money has been collected this year
up to tile present as was the case in
1922 and as all collections are practi
cally in, it will be seen that many have
abandoned their former vocations and
sought other means of earning a live
lihood.
Among the number who have dis
carded their businesses may be men
tioned wood dealers. Last year the
special tax was $lO. while in 1922 the
state demanded SSO and it was almost
as bad with scores of others engaged
in various kinds of business. In 1922
forty-seven paid wood license, while
in 1923 only four have come across
with sso, present license, and this
is laying in the bank awaiting the fi
nal result of a test case, now before
the supreme court,* it is expected that
the present legislature will make
many changes in the special tax list
or many people will be compelled to
seek their fortunes outside of Georgia.

From Post But Other

THOUSAND TO CITY
ItMs known that Many Members
Would be More Than Pleased
to Have Next Gathering on
Coast and This City Fills the
Bill.
A movement, which has been under
way for the past several days and one
that is receiving much
ment is that which has for its object
the bringing of the state convention of
the American Legion to Brunswick in
1923 and active steps will be taken at
once which will jnsure the making of
a strong bid for the gathering and
with all probability that success will
come to those who will have the mat
ter in hanu.
As stated in The News yesterday
morning, the convention begins in
Waycross July 17 and continues for
three days and it is likely that this
city will have a larger number of rep
resentatives present than any of a like
population in the state. There are
something over one hundred members
in the local post and practically every
one is enthusiastic for all that the
Legion stands for and advocates, and
Waycross, being so near, nearly every,
member will attend the convention.
It is stated that Brunswick’s com
mercial and civic organizations will
get right with the local Legionaires
in their effort to capture the conven
tion and it is expected that both the
city and eouny governments will do
likewise.
It has been stated that many of the
ex-service men live in th(Siinterior
an dit is their desire to have the next
convention at some cohstal spot and
in this Brunswick fills the bill as she
also does in'every other advantage,
