Athens is to pay Atlanta back her
baseball visit on tomorrow and next

You needn't plan for a dull sum
mer season in Athens this year.
There'll be plenty doing.
The weather indications are for a
cold east rain next week—the Geor
gia boys are going into camp al
Gainesville for a week.
The exhibit of prints of the master
pieces of art which is to be seen at
the College avenue school this week
is a delight to eye of culture.
We are enjoying prohibition very-
well, thank you. but we would be pow
erfully pleased with a generous show
er about this time of the year.
The man who committed several as
saults with intent to kill upon Queen
Elberta of the peach section of tho
state has surrend-red his bond and
vamoosed.
The state papers are all having
something encouraging to say about
the proposition of Representative
Lipscomb of Clarke for a measure to
create a board of tax equalizers for
the state.
GEORGIA TAX RFFORM.
It is quite evident that much attention will be given by the next legis
lature in this state to tho question of tax reform. Legislators, as a rule,
steer clear of this subject whenever possible for the reason that tax meas
ures are always unpopular, and for the additional reason that tho subject
is one of so many details and ramifications that they do not understand It
or are unwilling to put the time on the study of it that is n- cessary to
master it.
However, Georgia is up against the proposition good and hard Just
now. It has become apparent to the leading legislators that under our
present antiquated tax system, the necessary amount of money cannot be
raised with which to properly carry on the work of the state, and thai it
Georgia is ever to pay her school teachers promptly she must have a dif
ferent tax system.
Accordingly it is quite certain that during the approaching session of the
legislature there will be a number of tax reform measures introduced.
Some of them will propose immediate revision of the present tax system
and othtrs will call for the appointment of an able tax commission whose
duty it will be to investigate the subject carefully and with great thorough
ness and report to the legislature in June 1914.
Clarke county will play an important part in this movement 'or better
tax laws. Mr. Lipscomb having given notice of his intention to introduce a
tax reform bill in tho house and Senator Dultose will introduce a tax com
mission bill in the senate.
Whether there will be definite results achlev* d during the coming ses
sion or not, it is certain that tho question is now fully up for discussion and
that the agitation will go on steadily until this state has a decent 'ax
system.

SHOULD GO TO THE PEN.
Jack Johnson, the negro prize tighter, who has been oil trial ii. > i i<ago
on the charge of violating the Mann Act, which forbids what is known as
"white slavery," has been convicted on every count in tin- indictment, but
has appealed for a new trial.
The penalty in this rase is five years in prison or a line of tea tlio-is
and dollars or both in the discretion of the court. We do not know-' hos
tile presiding judge feels about it. but if he really wishes to break up this
henious practice, he has an opportunity now to make a good start in that
direction. He should give this negro prize tighter, who lacks a great deal
of representing even the average morality of his race, the full limit of Un
law. A service of five years in the penitentiary anil a fine of ten thousand
dollars might be sufficient to let him know that I'nole Sam has a pretty
long arm when it reaches out after criminals.
And such a sentence would have a deterring effect in other cases.
Would-be violators of the white slave law would hesitate a while before
risking imprisonment for five years. The enforcement of this law is ol
the utmost importance and there is nothing like starting out right. A heavy

266 points between the leader and

rocky games before Hodgson's team,
which is now in the lend. These four
teams, compos, d of forty young ath

of interest in this quick mental game,

ponent's team and takes second place,
while Morris' team goes to the deep
pit. If Morris wins, he climbs up to
a nose distance behind Hodgson with
the chance of flashing across the tape
a winner at th-.* end. Pound, whose
lentil got off to a had start, has been
playing great hall tor the last two
weeks and is now in third place. It
