ERROR IN WORDING
Attorney General’s Decision About School
Appropraton tax
PUTS ONE SCHOOL OUT OF POCKET.
Can the Governor and Comptroller General
Increase the Tax Rate to 6.21 Mill.?
What the Laws Says.
If Attorney General Joe Terrell is
right in declaring that on account of
an error in the wording of the aot
passed by the last legislature the state
coaid not increase the tax rate to make
the school appropriation $1,000,000 in
stead of $600,000 and it is beginning to
look like he is, Bibb county’s public
schools will be out of pocket about
$5,000, says the Macon Telegraph.
This will cut a big slice off tbe school
fund and will disarrange the plans al
ready made by the board of education
based on receiving the county’s full
quota of the $1,000,000.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Superintendent Abbott said that be
yet hoped the $1,000,000 appropriation
would stand good, as all of the plane
for Bibb’s schools for the coming year
were based on that amount, and they
could not now be easily changed, con
sequently there will be a deficit at the
end of the year of nearly $5,000 un- ,
less the act stands.
Boiled down to its last analysis, the
question all hinges on the authority of
the governor and the comptroller gen
eral to inorease the tax rate for this year
to 6.21 mills to meet the extra $400,000 I
which was intended by the legislature
to be set apart to go to make oat the
$1,000,000 appropriated for 1898.
The law is very explicit and seems to
entirely shut off the main purpose of .
COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
The City Ordinances on the Subject Which Are Now Being
Enforced in the City of Rome,
ALL RESIDENTS MUST BE VACCINATED.—Every resident of the city
of Rome is required to be successfully vaccinated, or to be vaccinated u sufficient
number of times to make it evident that successful vaccination is impossible.
FREE ACCINATION.—It shall be the duty ot the city physician to vaccin
ate, free of chu.ge, all residents of the city who may apply to him for that purpose.
FAILURE TO BE VACCINATED.—Any resident of the city of Rome over
fifteen years of age, who has not been successfully vaccinated, and who shall fail or
refuse after twenty-four hours’ notice to be so vaccinated, may, on conviction, be
punished as prescribed by Seetion 447, for each day such person so refuses or f»ils.
And any parent, guardian or any other person having control of a child under
fifteen years of age, who has not been successfully vaccinated, and who shall fail to
have such child so vaccinated, after twenty, four hours’ notice shall be subject to
the penalties above provided.
PENALTIES. —Any violation of any of the provisions contained in' this
chapter, for which no punishment is provided, may be punished by fine not exceed
ing one hundred dollars or imprisonment not exceeding thirty days.
the million dollar school appropriation
act, which intended that $400,000
should be raised in 1897 to go into the
school fund for 1898, In the first place,
the act creating the appropriation
says:
“For the support of the common
schools, $600,000 for the year 1897 and
$1,000,000 for the year 1897, and in ad
dition thereto for each of said years
whrtever funds may be in the treas
ury at the time of the making of the
apportionment, as required by section
1271 of the code of 1882. which funds
properly belong to the school fund, as
provided by laws now of force and enu
merated in section 1272 of the code of
1882.”
Now, the subsequent act defining the
power of the governor and the comp
troller general in making the assess,
meats is equally as well defined and

presents a further difficulty, which
seems to clinch the case against the mil
lion dollar appropriation for 1898. It
says:
“Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Georgia, That
the governor be authorized and em
powered, with the assistance of the
comptroller general, to assess and levy
a tax on the property of the state for
each of the fiscal years 1897 and 1898 of
3.45 mills, and the governor be, and is
hereby authorized and empowered, by
and with the assistance of the comp
troller general, to assess and levy in
addition to the foregoing general state
tax a tax of 2.50 mills for each of the
years 1807 and 1898, on all taxable
property of this state, for the purpose
of raising the funds necessary to meet
the appropriations of this general as
sembly for educational purposes in in
structing children in the elementary
branches' etc.’’
From this the attorney general has
construed the law to mean that the
governor and the comptroller-general
have not the right to levy the assess
ment necessary to raise this extra
$400,000 which the legislature intended
should be laid aside to go into the ap
propriation for 1898. They can only
make an assessment necessary for the
“purpose of raising the funds neces
sary to meet the appropriations of this
general assembly.”

FELL DEAD IN PULPIT
Sudden Demise of a Prominent Alabama
Minister.
Center, Ala., Aug. 12.—Rev. Wil
liam H. Lawrence, one of the leading
Baptist ministers of tbe county, fell
dead Sunday while concluding the ser
vices of his churoh near Lawrence
Station. He belonged to one of tbe most
prominent families of the county and
was esteemed wherever known for his
upright Christian walk and useful life.
He served through the war in the
famous Nineteenth Alabama regiment,
and was never absent till disabled by a
grapeshot that caused the loss of a leg
in tbe fighting around Atlanta. He was
56 years old.
The confidence of the people in
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is due to its un

The Fastest Transpacific) Trip.
San Francisco, Aug. 12.—News has
has just been received here that the
record for the fastest transpacific ocean
trip was made by the Royal Mail steam
ship Empress of Japan, on her last voy
age from Vancouver to Yokohama. The
time consumed was ten days, three
hours and 39 minutes. The distance
covered was 4,270 knots. Heretofore
the quickest passage was made by the
Pacific Mail steamer China, from San
Francisco to Yokohama, in ten days, 11
hours and 48 minutes.
Disinfecting Stftbies.
Question. —Please give me directions
for disinfection of stables, where ani
mals with contagious disease have been
kept.
Answer. —Remove all litter and rub
bish of every kind aud burn. Haul out
all manure to the field, scatter and plow
under.
Dissolve two ounces of carbolic acid
in a gallon of water, heat, and with it
wash thoroughly all feed troughs, wa
tering troughs, fodder racks, and other
■woodwork.
Whitewash everywhere, inside and
out, adding to the wash one pound of
chloride of lime to every four gallons of
water.
Remove and burn all rotten wood
work about the stable. In cases of
glanders, all harness, poles and shafts
should be carefully washed with hot
water and sbap, aud then rubbed with
oil, in which put one part of carbolio
acid to ten of oil. If you have pl-ink
fence around lot in which the animal
has run at large, whitewash the same
as stable. If you have rail fence, re
place with new rails, burning the old
ones. In eases of glanders only the ut
most care will prevent contagion, aud
where stables are inexpensive, the safest
plan is ta build anew in a different
place, burning up the old premises.—

THE LOSS OF THE MEXICO.
Goveruiijci t inspector Bryant Decider to
•nke tan I tivent igacion.
Seattle, Wash , Aug. 12.—1 t will re
quire inquiry by the government in
spector of hulls. Captain W. J. Bryant,
to determine the facts of the wrecking
of the steamer Mexico at the entrance
of Dixon’s sound. It is-stated, with
seeming authority, that the rock which
was the cause of the Mexico’s undoing
was West Devil rock, and that it shows
on the chart.
The first accounts of the disaster are
to the effect that the rock was hiddbn
beneath the waves and wis not down
on the chart. Dixon’s sound is on the
inside route to Alaska and has been con
sidered an open highway. *lt is stated
on the authority of Dr. Boswell O. An
derson, a passenger on the Mexico, that
the steamer’s coarse was changed so as to
semi her outside in the hope of saving
16 hours on tbe trip
The change was made by the captain
as the result of a petition circulated by
the C'nr.stiau Endeavor excursionists on
the bpat, who were anxious to reach
Seattle before the time limit of their re
turn tickets to the east had expired.
Pilot Cornell is an experienced navi
gator and has been employed in these
waters for a number of years. He was
on watcn and Captain Thomas was in
his stateroom. Whether Pilot Cornell
was neglecting his duty or miscalcu
lated the course will only be determined
by the inquiry now in progress.
