A new and ingenious method of avoiding paying the 1 923 automobile state tax was discovered recently by MtUorcycIe Officer Fulnter and Officer Lindsay, of the state highway. A car belonging to E. C. Moseley, who reides near Aiken, was found to contain a seemingly new license tag, but upon close inspection it was found that the number "4" had been beaten out flat on. the license tag and a new impression made with a cast iron di? in the shape of a number "5" and the green color of last year painted over with a yellow of lS>2f>. The officers believe they have found the first of a. number of automobiles that are bearing false home-made tags.
