MAYSON IS SILENT ON CONGRESS RACE Will Hon. Jfemes L. Mayson. Attan tn’s city attorney, be a candidate for congress against Hon. L. F. Living ston, the Incumbent 7 This Is quite a big question In pol itics, but It Is no less a question than It was six weeks ago. Mr. Mayson does not seem to know the answer himself, and If he does know hs will not tell. The Young Men's Prohibition League has indorsed the city attorney. There Is no doubt of the fact that his friends are urging him to make the race, and not a few are greeting him now as “Congressman Mayson.” < "ft Is a great honor to be a con gressman,” says Colonel Mayson. This is about ns- near os he comes to mak ing any definite statement. "Yes. I understand the Young Men's Prohibition League indorsed me for the place,” admitted the city attor ney. "There are hundreds and hundreds of things one must take Into consid eration before entering a race for such a position as congressman,” he stated further. "Of course, after a man has been publicly Indorsed for congressman it In nothing but natural that he should be thinking about It. I have no state ment to make.” This also from the city attorney. And the politically wise say that if Hon. James L. Mayson does decide to make the race, for congress there will not be any question as to whether or not he Is running, unless some opine he Is flying.

LOCKER TAX WON’T AFFECT THE LAW “I am not at all alarmed over the locker tax law. .It will not Interfere with the enforcement of the prohibi tion law, and It will not make dry counties wet.” That Is the way Dr. J. C. Solomon, state superintendent of the Anti-Sa loon League, regards the tax which has been arousing many prohibition ists throughout the state. Dr. Solomon declares that when club takes out a license for lockers, the limelight will be thrown upon such a club, and that It will only put the officials who enforce the law on no tlce that It will bear Investigation. “The tax,” said Dr. Solomon, "does not permit liquor to be sold and only taxes something which the law can not prevent.. The enforcement of the law will be vigorous throughout the state and-the surest w ay In the world to break Into the chalngang Is to sell liquor In a club that Is supposed to have It In lockers. "There Is no cause for alarm. And I want to Impress upon the prohibi tionists of the state that we do not consider the loeker tax In any such light.” FIVE MILLS TAX FIXEDJR STATE At a meeting between Governor Smith and Comptroller General Wright Wednesday morning the state tax fate for 1907 was fixed at the maximum al lowed under the law, five mills on the dollar.

The total amount from direct taxes and other sources will be close to $4,500,00(1. Thau) Ready ForNextTrial SUES EDMONDSON, M. M. Snider Enters Suit Against Broad Street '. Druggist.

SAVE A MILLION TO PASSENGERS If what the railroads claim they will lose by putting on reduced railroad fares In Georgia will be the people's gain, folks who buy railroad tickets In tho' state will save a snug pile each year. All told, it Is over $1,000,000. With the exception of the Seaboard Air Line, figures of what the reduced rates will cost the railroads have been given out, but what It will cost the Seaboard could not be ascertained from officials In Atlanta. The officials of the Atlanta and West Point road figure out it will cost the road $90,000 a year; tho Central of Georgia figures are $290,000 a year; the Atlantic Coast Line people believe It will cost the road $250,000 annually, while the figures for the Southern are placed at about $285,000. All these reach nearly a million dollars, and, with the Seaboard, will be over a mil lion. Officials of that road In Atlanta were unable to figure It out. but It Is be lieved that the cost to this road will be In the neighborhood of what It costs the other big trunk lines. The Indications, however, are that If the roads lose this much In reduced fares, and do not make It up In In creased travel, there will be some elfm. Inatlng of other reduced rates for con ventions, which will balance up the loss. REPORT OF TUB CONDITION OF Th8 Fourth National Bank OF ATLANTA, In the State of Georgia, at the Clou* of Buslnes*.
