Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—Because the
overhead expense of the state high
way department—salaries, office ex-
4-10-tf j penses, travel and administration ol
the law—runs annually $600,000, there
will In all probability be a general
shake-up In thnt department when the
new administration gets Into harness.
Tlila Information came today as a re
sult of conversations which Governor
elect Hardwick has Just had with
friends, in which he Indicated he Is
making a careful study of the methods
and operation of the highway depart
ment.
The figure at which the "overhead
expense of the department Is put tn
tals more than the combined cost of
operation of all other branches of (lit
civil establishment of the state.
Following publication In this corre
spondence a couple of weeks ago that
In a year and a half the department
has expended, In round figures, $10,-
000.000, has contracted for the work
n about 1,100 miles of road, and has
ictually completed only 186 miles of
mved road, today'* Information comes
vlth an added Interest.
There Is a question whether or not
ho office of attorney for the commls
ilon will bo abollahed entirely, as a
lolltical sinecure or a necessity In
ho operation of the department. That,
oo, Mr. Hardwick Is making an In
vestigation of. If ho finds It Is ur.
lecessary In the operation of the de
lartmcnt he will recommend its abo-
ition. If he And* it !b a necessity
10 will appoint to the office Judgo
tus H. Howard, who was campaign
nanager in the Hardwick race for gow
irnor.
It has for sometime boon the In
omtng governor's announced policy,
lowevor, to Inaugurate a crusade
igainst all sinecures In 0 "' c '
milling, not only as regards this par-
icular place, but throughout the en
tire pay roll of the state. In thnt
irogram this office will fall under
he closest kind of scrutiny as ft part
d a general program of economy and
ifflclency. In fact, the Incoming gov
ernor has again let It be known that
m wilt stand pat on the abolition of
ill useless offices and commissions.
In addition to this, there was some
'urther revelation today of the tnnova-
-.Ions which Mr. Hardwick will inau
gurate when he goes into office. He
ms heretofore let it be known that
le will, right early in hli admlnte
•ration create and set up a governor a
cabinet, composed of the departmen-
al heads In the capitol, with whom
Te will hold frequent conferences on
questions of Importance relatives to
itate management and efficiency in
iperatlon. But, he has now let It be
■tnown, he Is going even further, and
will make It a habit to spend a con
siderable part of his time while in
the governor's office paying official
visits around among tho several de
partments, keeping In touch with
. them and their operations, and con-

THE DIFFERENCE
OF 150 YEARS
You’ve heard the story of Paul Revere-hc w he clat
tered out of Boston and spread the alarm to ; 'every
Middlesex village, etc: That was m April 1775.
X It was an all night job. Today the Boston papers
would slap exrtas on their presses and in the shake.
of a little lamb’s tail the whole thriling message
"% u would fcs in each home of the well known county.
This represents the advance of 150 years in
the important business of spreading news.
The cry of “Extra-Extra” on the midnight air
brings startled folks to their doors as once did the
pounds of a horse’s hoofs and the breathless shout
of the rider. Papers have supplanted the courier
—multiplied his effectiveness manjj times—in
creased his speed a hundred fold. > •
How far back we would go without news
papers! Wc would remain in ignorance not ^nly of
events at home and abroad—but also of much that
concerns us just as vitally—news of the very things
that have to do with the personal, every-day life of
each one of us.
Somebody might be selling a new, better and
more economical food; or a utensil that would add
immeasurably to our comfort and well-being; or
some better material for making shoes or clothing
—but we would never knew it.
Modern advertising is a boon. It keeps bur
information up-to-date on the many things we need
in order to live a profitable, happy and useful life
in this age of progress.
Do you take full advantage of the advertising?

been rounded up and sent to the Chey

He was the last Indian, so far as Is
known, to have continued to live with

polygamy and further polygamous
marriages among the Indians was
made. Iron Lightening was called
to the Thunder Butte station when
this order was received and told he
must choose between tho two wom

"If the commissioner has lived with
one woman.” the chief replied In Ind
