The I-teld..you-sos are having a word '•bout the tax rate of Georgia remaining at five mills, the same as last year, and claiming all sorts of things as the reason it is no higher. But the real reason is the constitution forbids it being any higher; but they are trying to amend the constitution to a higher rate.

T i- e sending of messages is done on a regular typewriter, thus enabling t' e operator to double his cai acity, and the receiving is auto mate, doing away entirely with one operator. With such a saving ap T parent, every telegraph company in the country, every railroad and telephone company, will want the Burlingame Telegraphing Type writer.
