PIANOS, Organs, Buggies. VOL. XX.—l2 Pages STARVING IN SHADOW CF CAFITOL DOME. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. Ist. 1913. —I seems almost incredible that in a city like Atlanta a man could be left to starve to death in the very shadow of the capitol dome, but that is what Joel Fischer, an agec cripple, was doing when neigh bors discovered his pitiable plight and lent him temporary aid. Fisehemwas unable to fiind the kind of work which his crippled condition would permit him to do and he and his wife had” actually been doing without bread when their condition was discovered. It must be explained in justice to the charitable organization of the cry that Fischer had not ap plied to any of them. He said he had tried to bring himselfto do so, but he could not smother his pride and had decided he would rather starve than beg. Since his condition has become known substantial voluntary do nations have been obtained f his relief ,and that of his aged wife who has been patiently shar ing his misery.

SLATON. New York Paper Compliments Georgia’s Lawmakers fer Constructive Legislation. Atlanta ,Ga., Oct. I—The state of Georgi a as an official entity is in a good deal better shape fi nancially in eyes of the substan tial periodicals of the east, than she was this time last year. The change has been brought about by the tax equalization and oth er constructive measures adopted on the recommendation of Gov. Slaton. They are taken as boding well for the big bond issue which will be floated two years hence. ' “It is seldom possible to say a hearty word for the work/ of a state legislature, ” says the New York Evening Post, a conserva tive daily tKat ranks high with investors, “but the record o/f Geo gia’s deserves such notice. It assembled June 25 and adjourned Aug. 14 , being limited by law to fifty days. Although it be gan in the. usual way of legisla tures, uncertainly and with little promise of effectiveness, it clos ed with a week of solid accom plishment. It /found the s'ate treasury in Governor Slaton's words, sick and steadily on the decline. This condition is met by a tax equalization bill,supplement, ed by an inheritance tax and oth er tax provisions. Among laws dealing with social betterment, none is of greater interest than the “Mother’ Rights’ Bill’, which does away with gross discrimi nation by placing the mother on an equality with, the father in cases involving’ the custody of children . Ini the background of all this work stands the govern or.” Just Three Kinds in Georgia. Atlanta, Ga. ,Oc + . I—Research1 —Research at the capitol develops the fact •that there are but thre kinds of poisonous snakes in Georgia, and that all the other varieties are harmless. The three are the rattlesnake, copperhead and moccasion. The copperheads are very few. The rattlesnakes are by far the most numerous of the poisonous reptiles. They range in size all the way from the little “but ton rattler” who never grows a rattle big enough to rattle with, to the terrible diamond back, whose real home is Florida, but which occasionally gets over the border into Geofgia. The Georgia rattlesnake, how ever, is never a ruffian. He is never bruising for a fight. He prefers to be left alone, and his rattle is not a battle-cry but a fair warning .• lit allowed half a chance, he will leave the field. He will run away provided he can do so with dignity. The moccasin however is ugly and vicious and w 11 attack man or beast on the slightest provoca tion. Thanksgiving Dinner.
