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.

MR. BRYAN’S PREDICTION. Tho supremo court has decided that a blind tiger doesn't necessarily have to be ''blind.” If the prohibition law Is violated openly it is violated with in the intent of the law just as clear ly as if the spcak-casy slips a pint of blockade to his surreptitious purchas er and picks up the money with his hand behind bis back.

CLEARED AWAY. Proper Food Put the Troubles Away. Our otvn troubles always seem more severe than any others. But wh*-n a man is unable to eat even a light breakfast, for years, without se vere distress, he has trouble enough. It is small wonder lie tikes to tell of food which cleared away the trou bles. 1 am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for writes a N. It. man. "For many years I was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering. “After eating I would suddenly he seized with an attack of colic and vomiting. This would he followed by headache and misery that would sometimes last a week or more, leav ing me so weak I could hardly sit tip or walk. “Since t began to eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old -troubles. I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more times a day. taking it at the begin ning of the meal. Now I ran eat al most anything I want without trouble. “When I began to ree Grape-Nuts I was way under my usual weight, now I weigh 30 pounds more than. 1 ever weighed In my life, and I am glad to speak of the food that has worked the change."

As tlie race nears the end of the schedule the struggl - for lirst place becomes intense and the uncertainty as to who is to win is the one stir" thing. There is only a difference of 266 points between the leader and tile tail-ruder, and there are several rocky games before Hodgson's team, which is now in the lend. These four teams, compos, d of forty young ath lotos, are taking a v underfill amount of interest in this quick mental game, •-hich is played indoors. This afternoon there will be a bat tle royal between Lumpkin's team and Morris'. If Lumpkin wins ho (limbs out of tit-- cellar over liis op 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 is hard to prophesy tit this time jtisl which team is the strongest, as it is just according to who stays on the ground anti has his best players pres cut when th-* games tire called.
