Association Was Name Giv
en to New Organization and
Good Results Will Follow.
The Glynn county farmers who have
been busy on the job or perfecting a
permanent organization for the past
several weeks held another interest
ing session at the Board of Trade
rooms on Thursday afternoon.
Chairman M. L. McKinnon presided
and a goodly number of citizens repre
senting the agricultural interests of
the county were in attendance. A
tentative set of by-laws and a consti
tution was presented iby Chairman
R. R. MacGregor, named at a previous
meeting as the head of a committee
to do this work.
These were adopted by the meeting
and among other tilings the by-laws
provided that the new organization
shall be known as the Southeastern
Truckgrowers Association.
It was suggested that some revision
was needed in the constitution and the
by-laws and accordingly a committee
composed of F. E. Twitty, J. H. Di
mond and Mrs. G. V. Cate was named
for that purpose.
It was expected that the director of
the State Bureau of Markets would
be present at this meeting, but a letter
from that official announced that he
would be in Brunswick within the next
two weeks for a conference with the
directors of the association.
Considerable interest has been man
ifested i nthis organization; new mem
bers are joining rapidly and it is be
lieved that it will soon take its place
among the leading organizations of the
i county.
The next meeting will be held at the
Board of Trade.on Saturday, July 15.

Thp following statement issued by I
Collector of Internal Revenue, Atlan

Forms for making returns of special>
taxes, due under the Revenue Act of i
1921 during the month of July, now are !
available at the office of Collector of!
Internal Revenue, Atlanta, and title i
branch offices in Macon and Savannah, j
To avoid penalty return and pay-1
ment of the tax must be made on or
before July 31, 1922.
Return of the capital stock tax of do- j
mestic corporations; foreign corpora
tions—7oß must be made on Form 707.
Form 11 is used for making returns of
the miscellaneous occupational and j

The revenue act provides “that ev-.

“Every foreign corporation shall pay

in the United States, equivalent to
$1 for each SI,OOO of the average
amount of capital employed in the
transaction of its business in the Unit

ending June 30.”
The basis of the tax in the case of
a domestic corporation is “carrying on
or doing business” in the capacity of a
corporation or association. Quoting
from the Capital Stock Tax Regula
tions No. 64, “The words ‘carrying on
or doing business’ must be given every
ordinary and natural signification.
‘Business’ is a very comprehensive
term and embraces whatever occupies
the time, atention or labor of men for
the purpose of livelihood or profit. In
other words business necessarily in

this morning, their chances for finding
just what they want are good. So
many delayed yesterday until 10 and
11 o’clock and right at this time the

number left an exact number were al

object in calling a statewide meeting
in Atlanta was a launch the move

hold a great world exposition,’’ he
said. “The preliminary work has been
accomplished, and we are assured
that the leading people of the state
will get behind the enterprise. The
movement lis for the benefit of the en
tire state, and not one word can be
said against it. It will be kept from
politics and will be promoted strictly
in accordance with the desire of all

worth while for the state.”
