CROP' IS FAILURE
SENATE KILLS TAX
PASSERBY HOUSE
Night Session Held and Mili
tary Bill Passed by
' 31 to 7.
By stiff majorities the senate Friday
afternoon wiped out of the general tax
act the aectlons providing for a 1 per
cent tax of the gross Incomes of rail
roads, sleeping car companies, dining
car companies, express, telegraph, tele
phone and equipment compnnles,
patented soda water drinks and sewing
machine companies.
This Is the tax advocated by the
governor In a special message to the
general assembly a short time ago, rel
nttve to revenues. Governor Smith
held that this tax was a Just one and
ought to be levied. It was expected
to add closo to half a million dollars to
tho state revenues.
The house passed , this provision by
strong majorities, but It was apparent
that opposition In the senate would
defeat the tax. The light on It was
led by Senators Felder, Deen, Hawes,
Hays, Taylor and others.
During the morning session Friday
several other changes were made In
the bill, the taxes being Increased In
several Instances.'
Aside from the correction of technical
errors and wiping out the Income tax.
no changes were made at the afternoon
session.
The act now goes back to the house.
It Is doubtful If that body accedes to
the senate amendment relative to the
Income tax.
8eision Friday Night.
At the night session of the eenate
the military bill was passed. This Is
the measure Introduced In the house
by Representative Claude C. Smith, of
Campbell, bringing the national guard
of the state up to the requirements of
the national Dick law. It passed the
eenate by a vote of 31 to 7.
It was championed stoutly by Sen
atora Stephens, while President Akin
opposed It on the ground that It Im
paired the rights of the state, and
makes the union of states a military
government. The following bills were
passed:
By Mr. Flanders, of Johnson—To In
corporate the town of Olferman.
By Mr. Guyton, of Effingham—To
provide for tho selection of banks In
certain towns for stats depositories.
By Mr. Morris, of Ware—To Incor

PASSES HOUSE, BUT
GREATLHHANGEO
Hcgise and Senate Grow

PASTY POOD
Too Commonly Used.
The use of pasty cereals Is not ad
visable. A physician anye: “Pasty ce.
reals are very Indigestible and a bad
thing tor the stomach, causing a de
pressed feeling and quite a train of
disorders, particularly of the Intestines
and nerve*.
"Cereals, such bs wheat and oats,
can be cooked long enough and well
enough to fit them for human use but
the ordinary way of cooking leaves
them In a pasty condition."
An Ipdlana man says; "My physi
cian prohibited the use of oats and
wheat for I was In a bad condition
physically, with pronounced dyspepsia.
He said the heavy paste was Indigest
ible but that Grape-Nuta, being a thor
oughly cooked food and cooked In such
a manner as to change the starch Into
a torn, of sugar. Is very easily digested.
"I have become very fond. Indeed
of Grape-Nuts and all the uncom
fortable feelings have disappeared. I
have gained nearly twelve pounds In
weight and have none of the distressed
feeling after my meals which I had
formerly. Grape-Nuts food has dons
the work." “There's a Reason." Read
The Road to WeUville," In pkgs.
By an almost unanimous vote—142
to 2—the Candler-Overstreet bill, In
creasing the number of the railroad
commissioners from three to five and
extending their authority over all pub
lic utllltlea. Was passed by the lower
bouse of the general assembly at 5
o'clock Friday night. Those voting
against the bill were Messrs. Johnson,
of Jasper, and Cannon, of Rabun.
The dobate on the bill lasted through
tho morning session Thursday and wns
continued Friday from 9 o'clock In the
morning until n late hour In the after
noon. with only a short recess for
lunch.
As amended by the house, the bill
provides that the two new commis
sioners shall be appointed by the gov
ernor Immediately after the approval
of the bill and that they shall hold of
fice Until December 1, 1908, their suc
cessor, to be elected by the people at
the election In October, 1908.
Many amendments to the bill were
adopted by the house, which materially
change the condition In which It left
the senate. The moat Important of
these Is the amendment Increasing the
number from three to five, and the
amendments to extend the authority of
the commission over gas and electric
light companies In addition to tele
phone. telegraph, express companies,
etc., as provided for by the senate,
The bouse struck from the senate bill
the claure authorizing the governor to
name the chalrnmn of the commission
and delegated this power to the com
mission.
Appoint an Attorney,
Tho office of attorney to the rail
road commission at a salary of $2,500
was created by the house, tho ofilco
to be filled by appointment of the gov
ernor, and the clause authorizing the
governor to appoint special counsel for
the commission was stricken out.
The amendment- eztendlng ‘the au
thorlty of the commission over gas and
electric light companies was offered by
Mr. Wright, and was passed with slight
opposition.
An amendment eztendlng their au
thority over cotton compresses was 111
serted by Mr. Adams, of Chatham.
The clause relating to the eligibility
of voters to hold office as a member of
the commission waa amended by Mr.
Blackburn, of Fulton, fixing the mini
mum age at 15 years.
Mr. Dean, of Floyd, amended the sec
tion so that no person could be eligible
to membership who Is Interested In any
mercantile business or any corporation
that Is controlled by, or that partici
pates In, any pool, trust or combina
tion that tends to Increase ths cost of
public utility commodities to the
public.
An amendment by Mr. Perry, of
Hall, authorising the commission to
compel railroads to publish their sched
ules, wa* adopted.
although opposition to the bill, as It
was amended by the house committee
and as It was finally passed, never at
any time appeared threatening, there
was considerable debate over the prop
osition to Increase the number of the
commissioners from three to five and
this amendment Is the one which It 1s
believed may cause a deodliyk In the
senate.
Two Houses Differ.
The senate favored three commis
sioners, the chairman to receive a
salary of 44,000 per year and the other
two commissioners to receive $3,500
each.
The house voted to Increase the
membership to five, the chairman to
receive $4,000 annually and ths other
four commissioners to receive $2,500.
In addition to this change 'the bill
goes back to the senate for concur
rence with the authority of tho com
mission extending over the following
public utilities: railroads, street rail
roads extending beyond the limits of
municipalities, telegraph, telephone and
express companies, gas and electric
light companies, docks, wharfs, termi
nals anil terminal stations, etc.
Prior to adjournment, Mr. Perry, of
Hall, ottered a reaolutlon that Sunday
be declared a non-legislative day and
that the houae hold another sesalon
Monday. The resolution was voted
down and It was later discovered that
Saturday Is the fiftieth day and that
the house stands adjourned at 12 Sat
urday night unless an extra session is
called.
The houae ndjoumed at 8 o'clock to
meet again Saturday morning, at which
time the general tax act was taken up
for the purpose of considering senate
amendments.

HIRED A8 STRIKE-BREAKER
MAN WANT8 $800 DAMAGES.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 17.—G. Cornelius
has brought an unusual suit against the
the Pioneer Employment Company,
claiming $800 damages for til treat
ment and $5 paid the employment
agency for a Job. Cornellu» alleges
that he was sent to Fairbanks, Alaska,
and when he arrived there he found
he was expected to become a strike
breaker. He was threatened by a mob
of 2,000 striking miners, cast adrift
by the employment agents and endured
hardships In returning to Seattle.
Washington, Aug. 17.—“Caleb Powers
will have a fair trial In Kentucky,'
said H. A. Summers, editor of the
Elisabethtown News, at the Riggs
House, last night. "Governor Beckham,
I believe. Is earnestly trying to find a
Jurisdiction that will give Powers a
square deni and the sentiment of the
people nil ovor the state 1s with him In
tills. If Powers Is Innocent I believe he
will be acquitted.
"Kentucky Is Just now In the midst
of the hottest political fight It has been
engaged In In years,” continued Mr.
Summers. "The Democrat# will win, I
believe, but It will be a hard struggle,
for liquor Interests are arrayed against
the party and we shall have to get a
great ninny Republican votes from men
who favor temperance.
Governor Beckham h«s made the
Inane squarely on the temperance ques
tion. The state, I think, Is In favor of
temperance, for 93 out of the 117
counties are now dry by reason of local
option.” %

If nothing else than this should be accom
