COMBINE REVENUE OFFICER On A c f W. l o' P Pre Coutinuation cf TL:o Collec torships Unprofitable. Washington, October 11.-For som time a rumor has been current her that the commissioner of internal re venue, John G. Capers, contemplatei the consolidation of the revenue of ficers of Georgia and South Carolin. in order to effect a* saving of expensi to the Government. This movemen nas been brought about by the sprea< of prohibition in the two states men tioned and elsewhere. The loss o: revenue to the government by reasoi of the closing of many liquor estab lishments and the consequent crowd ing of forces has made the officials o: the revenue bureau here consider th, question of consolidation. Mr. Caper-, returned to Washingto1 from the south to-day and when seer by The News and Courier correspond ent. said: "I am securing all the data possible on this subject, but a! vet have taken no offcial action. Th( consolidation of the various collec tion districts would have to be don( by executive order." According to the report Georgi and South Carolina are to be consoli dated in one collection district, and all the work placed uaded Micah Jen. lins, the collector at Columbia, witI offices in that city, the Georgia office. being abolished and the collecto there put out of office. After January 1 Georgia will b dry, so far as liquors are concerned while half of the South Carolins counties still sell whiskey under th( dispensary law. The business in thE latter state -would exceed that fron: Georgia. It is practically admittbi that after January 1 next there wil be little need of a collector in Geor gia. In the fiscal year 1906 the tota collection for revenue in Georgia wer $595,985, of which $372,3S2 - cam< from distilled spirits and $184,01. fermented drinks, lea*ng . a1mos1 nothing from tobacco and the fe other sources. With these revenue gone the total collections from Geor gia would probably amount to les than $50,000 a year. The only thing against carrying ou a programme of consolidation o: Southern states into new districts fo the next year or so lies in the fac that to do so 'would be to abolisl much of the political maehinery b: which the Administration expects t< control the Southern vote in the nex National COonvention. As Capt. Ca pers is one of the Administratior leaders in Southern politics he migh1 hesitate at too early action of a con solidation nature. Georgia must b< brought into lind in the next Conven i-'- and the collector of internal re venuea~ of that state and his force o: men have heretofore been importan1 factors in selecting delegates. P. H. MeG. Another Account. Washington, October 11.-Conmmis sioner Capers, of the internal revenut bureau has under consideration thE rearrangement and consolidation fo: revenue collection purposes of a num ber of southern and southwesterr states. The constitution of Oklaho ma, which was recently adopted, ab solutely prohibits sale of 'intoxicating liquors as a beverage within the stat< borders, and on January 1, 1908, corn plete prohibition goes into effect it Georgia. South Carolina by receni action of the state is partly unde3 prohibition and partly under the dis pensary system. To meet these chang ed conditions the commissioner hat in contemplation the consolidation o: Oklahoma with Arkansas as one re venue division, Georgi's and Souti Carolina as another, M ssissippi ani Louisiana and possibly Alabama as third. As an alternative Alabamt may be consolidated with Florida. T< earry in'to effect these changes wouli necessitate an Executive order by th< President, but the action of some o: the states as to the sale of intoxicat ing liquors seems to the internal re venue officials to make some action 0: this- character an administrative nec essity. It is not likely, however, tha definite action will be taken for som< weeks. An attraction new to Newberra will be at the opera house, Saturday Oct. 19. ''The Hoosier Girl,'' is said to possess an abundance of homel2 wit and humor that never fails t< please.
