59-law-9w. A
Unconstitutional
Says Committee
Amendment to Constitution
For Direct Election of
Senators.
Atlanta, Aug. 2.—The propos
ed amendment to the consti
tution of the United States
providing for popular elec
tion of United States senators, is
unconstitutional, according to the
report submitted to the house to
day by the special committee of
the legislature to which it had
been referred.
The report holds that ‘the leg
islature cannot consent to receive
or act upon any proposal for the
amendment of the federal con
sittution until the same is
made by two-thirds of the fulli
membership of both houses of ‘
congress and conceives it to be
in derogation of the reservedl
rights of the states for any
amendment to be proposed until
it receives such vote.”’
The report concludes by saying
that ‘‘in the interest of candor
we conceive it proper to say that
the state of Georgia will be
prompt to agree to the election
of senators by the people of the
respective states, if the proposal
therefore be made in what we
conceive to be the method provi
ded by the constitution for its
own amendment, but not in any
}terms which derogate in any de
gree, directly or consequentially,
from our reserved right of entire
and unqualfied control over our
own suffrage, registration and
election.?”’
The governor is instructed tol
return the communication to the
proper federal officer from whom}
it emanated and to send a copy
to the governors of the several
states, with the request that the
same be laid before their respec
tive legislatures in the hope that
the states ‘‘may join with Geor
gia in earnest insistence that the
congress do not hereafter pro
pose amendments to the federal
constitntion otherwise than upon
the votes of two-thirds of the
‘entire membership of each house
thereof.’’
Chard of Thanks.
We desire to express our heart
felt thanks to the many friends
who so willingly and kindly ren
dered us their service in so many
ways during the sickness and
passing away of our loving hus
band and uncle. May each of
you reccive God’s richest bless
'ings.

THF LEADER-ENTERPRISE. TUESDAY AUGUST 6, 1912.
Will Buy Bird Island.
New York, Aug. I.—To insure
the wild water birds of North
America permanent and undispu
ted possession of the islands,
marshes and lakes where their
largest colonies are today locat
ed, is one of the latest plans for
conservation inaugurated bv the
National Association of Audubon
Societies. Already these Socie
ties have secured, either by pur
chase or gift, some of the most
populous rockerias left in Maine,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida and Louisina, ard itis
expected that within the next
few weeks a transfer of titles to
several equally as important will
be consummated.
As a natural consequence of
advancing civilization in the
more thinly settled sections of
the country, places suitable for
wild fowl breeding grounds are
annually becoming fewer and
this movement is regarded by
bird lovers and sportsmen of this
city as a most timely measure.
Among the striving species of
birds which will profit by this
plan are the Pelicans, Terns,
Skimmers and Egrets of the
Southern States and the Gulls.
Murres, Ducks, Geese and shore
birds of the North.
“Although we are employing
guards to watch more than fifty
of these colonies this summer, we
find that absolute protection can
be best secured by owning the
terried occupied by the birds,”’
explained Secretary T. Gilbert
Pearson at the Association head
quarters today. ‘‘Sheep destroy
many nests in the Maine colon
ies,”” he said, “and we want to
own the islands and rid them of
the sheep. Storm tides over-run.
many of the sandy islands of the
South, and we desire to construct
breakwaters there. Thoughtless
and inexperienced photographers
visit the colonies and in their
eagerness to get pictures, cause
the young to be exposed to the
sun for hours, which kills them.
We want to be in a position to
keep off all irresponsible tres
passers. These things can be
accomplished only by purchase.”’
The officers of the Association
are now awaiting with interest
the reports of three experienced
agents who are in the field to
make examinations and recom
mend further purchases.

One queer idea rather prevalent
in the South is that when a farm
implement fails to do good work
on some man’s farm, it is the fault
of the machine. Now a little
thought should convince anyone
that nine-times out of ten it must
be the fault of the man, All farm
implements are ‘not perfect, of
course, and no one of them is like
ly to be best under all conditions;
‘but it needs only a moment’s re
flection to convince a man who
‘thinks, no one can afford to make
aad sell a machine that will not do
good work if given a fair chance
certainly no man or firra with a
large investment of capital or with
a reputation to lose, or make, can
afford to do so. I have seen men
harrow their corn and drag out a
lot of It, but it wasn’t the barrow’s
fanlt. It was because the land had
been poorly prepared, because the
harrow teeth were not properly
set, and because the driver did not
know his business. On land pre
pared as it should be I can run a
harrow all day and not pull up
enough corn for anyone to notice
it at all two days later. The man
who does not get good results
with any standard farm implement
should first of all make sure that
he is haadling it properly,—Shop

idea that she is too young to have
any old friends. :

Educators and the people everywhere have endorsed the school. It offers a practical, sensible
literary course that extends through the High School. The Mechanics department is the best of
its kind in the state. Scientific and applied agriculture taught as actual problems and not as
theories. Board $7.50 per month or only $67.50 for an entire year. For want of room 45 stu
dents turned away during September 1911. Write for catalog.

By Fitzgerald Resident
The following has more interest
for Fitzgerald residents than it
otherwise would have because
Mrs. Snider, one of ourselves, a
citizen of Fitzgerald. If it proves
of assistance to but one person in
Fitzgerald, it will have been worth
the telling, -
Mrs, J. P. Snyder, 604 W. Al
tamaha st,, Fitzgerald, Ga,, says:
“We have used Doan’s Kidoey
iPills in our family and they have
given entire satisfaction. 1 took
them for backache and Kkidney
‘'weakness which had caused me a
great deal of suffering and they
corrected my trouble, Another
!member of my familv also used
this remedy for backache and was
!given relief.” (Statement given
April 16, 1908.)

every particular.”

Bluevale, Ont., May 4,1910—“ I was
sick for two years with chronic bron
chitis and a consequent run-down con
dition. I received no benefit from doc
tors or from a trip which I took for
my health, and I had to give up work,
Vinol was recommended, and from the
second bottle I commenced to im
prove. I gained inweight and strength,
my bronchial trouble disappeared, and
I am at work again.
It is the combined action of the
curative elements of the cods’ livers,
aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron contained in Vinol which makes
it so successful in curing bronchitis.
Vinol is a constitutional remedy for
chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis and
pulmonary troubles—not & palliative
like cough syrups. :
Try Vinol. If you don’t think it
helps you, we will return your money.
