Chester Clayton Of fers Problem For the State. An unsolved problem for the Asso elated Charities since last November, Chester Clayton, a 16-year-old lad. Is non- an unsolved problem for the state. What to do with him the officials are at a loss to determine. 1 He Is too sane for the mad house and he Is so afflicted with epilepsy that the reform school authorities won’t have him. He Is Just an Illustration of how bad ly the state needs nn Institution where epileptics may be taken care of. He was sent to the Associated Chari ties last November by his employer. The Associated Charities had physi cians examine him and it was found that his case was curable If he could have fresh air, good food and sur roundings without excitement. He has been having tits since he was 4 years of age. For that reason he never attended school and he could never hold a job long. These (Its would attack him every week and sometimes he would have several In one day. After considerable trouble, a place In the country was found for the lad and he was sent to a private school, where he learned rapidly. Then the fits came upon him again and the him school people declined to keep longer. His case soon reached the point where he would have to commit a crime In order to be sent to a reformatory where he would have a chance to get well. A few days ago he flourished his stepfather’s pistol among some children and was arrested. He was bound over to the city court and Is now In jail. At last It was hoped he could get In an institution where he could receive care and get well. Now It is found that an epileptic can not be sent to the reform school. His only chance Is to get In the state asylum and he Isn’t craxy enough for that. An effort will be made to have a Jury In lunacy proceedings send him to the asylum, but It Is feared this can not be -done. He is too sane for the mad house. His mother Is poor and works In a factory and he has no one to look after him. The Associated Charities has even offered to pay his board In the country, but no one will have him when It is learned he has flts. His dose In the city court has been continued until September, and in the meantime his mother will endeavor to have him sent to the asylum. If she falls, Chester must be tried. William B, O'Neal.

Eiseman & Weil 1 Whitehall St. “The Daylight Corner. 9 Whan the senate finished with the Wrlghts-Taylor anti-lobbylng bill Wednesday. afternoon at 2:10 o’clock the authors would hardly have recog nised It. It passed by -27 to 12. Senator Felder led the light on the bell, and was-so successful that about the only provision left In the amended bill Is that requiring attorneys or agents of individuals. Arms or corpora, tlons to register with the secretary of state. Senators Overstreet, Knight, Born end Wilkes led a doughty but Inef fectual fight to prevent the bill from being amended. As amended the bill does not require any Itemized state ment of expenses or does It prevent attorneys or agents from going on the floor or speaking to members. The bill as amendod Anally passed by a vote of 27 to 13. Senator Williford gave notice of asking reconsideration. Consideration of the Wrlght-Taylor antl-lobbylng bill was the special order of business in the senate Wednesday. Briefly, the bill requires all legisla tive counsel or agents, employed by person, firm or corporation to promote the passage of bills, to file a statement with the secretary of state setting forth the name of employer: a description of the legislation advocated; to file an Itemized statement of expenditures and finally prohibiting such lobbyists from appearing on the floor of the senate or house or speaking privately -with mem bers, save by special consent. Senator Felder proposed to strike out the section requiring the filing of state ments of expense of such teglsltlve agents, and also the section which pro hibits the agents from appearing on the floor. He spoke at length and strongly for his amendments, Senator Knight spoke for the bill as passed by the house. Senator Flynt thought-the bill needed amendment. Senator Flynt snld no lobbyist had ever approached him and he had no apprehension that any ever would. Senator Camp favored the amend ment offered by Senator Felder. Senator Camp Objects. “The bill, as It stands," he declared, ‘puts a brand on the forehead of every member of this senate. When I lose confidence In my fellowman to the ex tent this bill goes, I want to go to some mountain top and hide my head In shame. For one, I have not lost confidence in the members of this body. I will resign If a constituent of mine can not speak to me.” 'T would like to ask the senator If this bill forbids them doing so?" asked Senator Felts. I am Inclined to believe that It does,” was the reply. “It Infringes on all human rights.” 8enator Henderson, of the Thlrty- nlth, contended that the proposed amendments would practically nullify the purposes and deslgris of the bill. Senator Williford said that there was a pronounced tendency apparent in the senate to trim or hedge, openly or secretly, on every measure advocated by the Macon platform. Senator Martin spoke for his amend ment, which provided that the attorney or agent should not be compelled to state the amount of his compensation. At 12:60, on motion of Senator Brock, the main question was ordered, and Senator Overstreet, as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, claimed the right to dose the argument under the twen ty minutes allowed. "The members of this senate know that :he people demand the passage of this bill,” he declared. "If there Is anything In this measure to reflect on any member, let It do so. All honest men can stand and be measured by Its provisions. •You say there Is no need for such law? Why, gentlemen, don't you know that men who have presided over the senate and house have found an Incentive to seek the honor In the fact that they found employment Im mediately afterwards In great corpora tions. The fact that they have been presiding officers gives them the privi lege of the floor. And I have seen them back at work as soon as their duties here were ended.” The senate then passed the bill with amendments noted. At 2:15 o’clock th-> senate adjourned until 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. GOVERNOR SMITH SENDS MESSAGE (Continued From Pspo One.) led paynblo monthly or bi-monthly, so that the money will be received during the course of tho year. I attach a copy of a letter from the comptroller general showing that his assessments of rail road and street car companies do not Include occupation tax. 3. There Is pending before the legis lature a bill to Increase the fertilizer tax from 10 cents to 26 cents per ton, the money thus raised to be used for the support of the eleven state agri cultural schools and the state agricul tural college. As u general proposition It would be preferable that the money raised for the support of these Insti tutions should be placed upon the same tins Is as the money raised for other In stitutions and that they should not de pend upon a special tax for their sup port, but I see no prospect to obtain the necessary funds for them next year unless the course suggested Is pursued. South Carolina and. Alabama fix a fer tilizer tag tax of 30 cents and 26 cents per ton. I understand that tho price of AT THE THEATERS 1 J Theatergoers are flocking to the Ponce DeLeon Casino this week to wit ness one of the cleverest vaudeville performances that this house has ever offered.

As the matter now stands, the fertilizer companies are charging the same for fertilizer here as In Alabama and South Carolina, and tho farmers do not obtain the benefit of the reduced cost of fertilizer tags. 4. I suggest also that power I given to the governor to use any monoy not otherwise appropriated In the treasury to pay during the early por tion of 1908 u portion of the amount appropriated to the common or ele mentary schools of the state for 1908. Under the present system the direct tax levied by the state for schools for 1908 will not be collected until De cember. This leaves the schools to be operated without receiving tho amount provided by the state until nearly tv.elve months after most of the teach ers' work has been performed. The payments have also been Irregu lar and the school boards have not been able to know when school funds will be received from tho state. I am very desirous to change this situation so that we may send. In about five In stallments, the amount which the state Is to pay to the common or elemen tary schools.. I believe It desirable to tend the money at about the end of January, February and March and at about the end of November and De cember, distributing It as nearly as f iractlcnhlo Into five equal payments, .eglslatlon upon the line 1 have sug gested will give an elasticity to the administration of the finances of the Mate and may permit the governor In the course few years to bring Pastime Theater.

HOKE SMITH. Governor. General Wright’s Letter. Comptroller General Wright's letter to the governor Is as follows: Dear Sir—In reply to your request for Information relative to the basis upon which adjustments of the tax assessments made by me of the prop erty of telephone and express compa nies were made, I beg to say that the supreme court of Georgia, having ren dered a decision to the effect that the contingent occupation tax provided by the tax act of 1905 upon a percentage of gross earnings of such corporations was unconstitutional. I made my as sessments upon the properties of such corporations at what I considered the full, fair market value of said prop erties, and the assessments thus made were accepted by the corporations re ferred to with the understaandlng that I would recommend that no percentage tax, based upon gross earnings of these companies, should be imposed. In view of the fact that the taxes derived from these properties on an ad valorem basis would exceed the amount former ly received under the act which was held by our court to be unconstltu-. tlonal. The telegraph companies declined to accept my assaesments under such con ditions, and they will be arbitrated. There being no tax on gross receipts of railroad. companies, the foregoing rule was not applied nor considered In taxing such properties, but they wero assessed at what I considered their true market value. Yours very truly. WILLIAM A. WRIGHT, Comptroller General. Card Prizes No place in Atlanta offers the charming variety of unique and beautiful things suitable for prizes.
