White. * ■ ’ 1 ’<• *4 Populist Legislation- Tbe movement started by certain so-called "reformers” in tbe Hoose of < Representatives to reduce all oalaries i end place every state and county office on a "cheap John” basis, ia not likely 1 to meet with tbe endorsement of the broad-minded people of Georgia It ie, in tbe first place, a narrow < 1 policy, and one that would prove un« 1 successful and unsatisfactory from tbe < start, should enough votes' be secured to put it in operation. No sound bus iness man will look to a "redaction of salaries** to make ends meet under tbe conditions whTch now prevail in Geor gia. Something more radical, some thing broader is needed Tbe few thousand dollars that would be saved to tbe state by sueh a plan of petty retrenchment would be but a drop in the bucket toward making up a deficit and lowering taxes. It would be much like a man whose expenses are greater than bis income reducing bis cigar bill and cutting the salaries of a few employee, instead of going actively to work to increase tbe revenue. Tbe state has every opportunity to increase its revenue and there is little opportunity for a just or reasonable i reduction of salaries or even of appro priations. The bill now before tbe bouse to create a board of tax assessors in each county seems to us to be the proper remedy for the conditions now existing. Or, at least, it is one of the remedies that should be applied. It is notoriously true that a va»t amount of property in Georgia escapes ' taxation altogether, while not ten per 1 cent of it pays taxes on a fair valua tion. If a plan is found by which this ) property can be made to pay its just ■ share of tbe public burden, there will be no need for retrenchment, no need ) to cut salaries and appropriations, but, ( on tbe contrary, there will be a surplus in tbe state treasury. As a business proposition, therefore* it seems to us that tbe Legislature | should first direct its attention to in augurating a practical plan of this sort —Macon News. The Sure La Grippe Cure.

She was 87 years of age, , and bad been in bad health for a long time. About fifteen years ago rheuma tism tendered her feet useless, and since that time she has not walked a , step. Mrs. Langford waa tbe largest woman in Upson county. Her weight waa somethin,; near 400 pounds, and tbe undertaker waa unable to find a ready made coffin in Thomaston or Atlanta that waa wide and deep suffi cient to hold her remaina. One had to be made to order, and it was of such tremendous size that (be men in charge could not get it in the hearse Thia explains why tbe body of this es timable lady waa carried to the grave , on a wagon.

Under Sealed Orders- "Don’t know,” said tbe stout man on a Grand River avenue car tbe other afternoon, when asked by a friend where be was going that time of day, relates tbe Detroit Free Press. "Sailing under sealed orders. Here they are,” as he often tatiously pro duced a big white envelope, ornament ed with a dab of wax as big as a silver dollar. "See ? ‘Not to be opened until you reach tbe Campus Martins.* Old lady wrote it herself. Didn’t know I bad so much curiosity. Seems to me this car goes about a mile an hour, and it makes more stope and longer stops than ever before. Feel just like getting out and walking on.” At tbe campus tbe stout man jump ed off before the car had stopped, hurried to a lumber pile ia front of tbe opera bouse site and leaned there while he read. Hie florid face became scarlet, his big right band crumpled the envelope and crumpled tbe wax. He dove into his left hand breast pock et, brought out an addressed letter, carried it to the nearest mail box, and thrust tbe missive in. He switched down Cadilac square and ordered a seven-pound roast, got to tbe eastern market by the shortest route, laid in a supply of beets, cucumbers, strawber ries, peas, onions, and new potatoes, hustled back to town, telephoned a family of friends that they were ex pected to dinner the next day, left an order at the ice cream factory, bad some dainties sent from the grocer’s and then beaded for home, looking blacker than a thundercloud. He tried to storm and appear abased, but bis wife only laughed at him and re called that it was the first time in his life that be had gone down town and done more than half what she had told him to do. . _ CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
