GRIFFIN; GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 10. 1909.
THE STATE DEFICIT WILL REACH
NEARLY THREE-FOURTHS MILLION
Governor Brown Says Such Course Leads to Bankruptcy
and Suggests Methods of Stopping It.
Atlanta, Oct. 9.—Each year the
State ot Georgia is Spending more
money than it is taking in, and surely
and inexorably the deft .it is mount
ing until it will reach by January 1,
1910, according to the estimates ot a
careful expert, the huge total of
three-quarters of a million dollars.
Alonzo Richardson, the expert ac
countant, has completed his search
ing investigation of the State’s finan
cial status, made under express di
rection of Governor Joseph M. Brown.
Deficit’* Rising Tide.
Details of this report are now in the
hands of the governor, and it is most
exhaustive in its nature. It covers
not only finances of the State for the
past year or so, but goes back several
years, showing the gradual but stead
ily rising tide of deficit.
For instance, the State spent SBI,OOO
more than its revenues in 1908. For
1909 Accountant Richardson esti
mates a deficit of $252,000 in excess
of revenues. Tnese figures may be
considered accurate, as they are based
on fixed expenditures and data made
up from the appropriations of the
general assembly.
The report shows that by January
1, 1910, the accumulated deficit of the
Slate will reach the total of $728-,
566.50. As 1 stated, the figures for
1909 are based on estimates, which
are practically as. accurate as the
completed figures at the end .of the |
year will be.
This report of Accountant Richard-,
son is exhaustive, and covers every
phase of the State’s finances.
Governor Brown’* Statement.
lu giving out this report to the
press for publication in Sunday’s
papers, Governor Brown submits a
brief which ne says that
the practice of the State in spending
more money than its income “leads
as inevitably to embarrassment as it
does to bankruptcy when practiced
by the individual.” He stresses
again the recommendation contained
in his first message to thelegislatuie,
recommending a bond issue es $600,-
000 to pay teachers of the public
schools of the State, or the financial
scheme of the constitution of retiring
annually SIOO,OOO of the public in
debtedness could be changed by an
amendment providing for refunding
this sum for the period of six years,
which will raise the amount of money
without increasing the bonded debt
of the State one penny. The State is
practically a year behind with these
faithful and hard working servants.

FALLING AUTUMN LEAVES,
SIGN OF MELANCHOLY DAYS
Chinaberrias First to Lose Their
Golden Balmont.
The autumn leaves are beginning
to fall ana the melancholy days are
come.
Citizens on the streets for the past
several days have noticed an effort by
a number of trees to strip themselves
of their summer coat of green, assist
ed by the cool, gentle breezes blowing
up from the sea. The cbfnaberry
trees are probably first to have sur
rendered a part of their leaves in or
der to enter on the steep of the long
winter months.
It is peculiarly true that the falling
of the autumn leaves should
«
cause a feeling among humankind
that a decided transition is taking
place and that the melancholy days
are being gradually ushered in.
Thoughts of future cold, football,
college and school, sweethearts,
mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers
at Christmastide, and divers other
thingscreepin.
Surely when the gentle zephyrs of
the summer change to the bracing
breezes of fall, and the leaves begin
to slitter to.the ground,
»
“The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year.”
DOWRIES FORUNIONISTS.
National Woman’s Trade Union League
to Help Ite Members.
No longer need young women be de
terred from joining trades unions by
the excuse that they are "about to be
married." The adoption of a system
of granting "marriage dowries" to
members of women's unions baa been
decided upon by the biennial conven
tion of the National Women's Trade
Union league, held in Chicago.
The plan, which was adopted to In
duce women to join unions of their
craft, provides that when any member
of the organization marries she shall
be presented with a dowry, the amount
to be conditional on the number of
years she has been a member.
For the benefit of spinsters and
those who for reasons of their own
may choose to remain single an amend
ment was added to the plan providing
for the payment of “vacation dowers"
to them tn lieu of the “marriage dow
ries" they would have received in the
event they had entered the state of
conjugal bliss.

It it a Time to Celebrate.

and what preparation have you matte
for Ilf
With the price of cotton high and
still going up, presaging a moat pros
perous season, why not turn loose to
some extent and make a big day of
thia mid-fall event ?
Os course, an unveiling Is not a
carnival occasion, altogether, but we
are sure the Man on the Monument
will not object to’seeing those for
whom be fought show a proper ap
preciation of the blessings that later
times have bestowed upon them.
And the lavish showing of his
colors a 111 lie only a mark of proper
respect for him. (Confederate flags and
draping can longer t>e found In exact
similitude, but red and white bunt
ing, such as was used lavishly at
Athens during the recent reunion,
will cost little and add greatly to the
appearance of the occasion,
every storekeeper and business man
take this up at once and get ready
liefore it Is too late.
Thursday will lie a great day, with
a splendid program, and it is certain
that a big crowd will be in town.
Griffin should dress up for it.

YESTERDAY RECORD-BREAKING
BUSINESS DAY IN GRIFFIN
With Much Cotton Coming in and One of the Biggeet
Crowds Seen in Quite Awhile, Business Was Splendid.
The fall season has been a very (
prosperous one In Griffin, with good
trade during the week and on Satur
days, but yesterday was the record
breaking business day of the season.
The streets were packed and jammed,
and five or six hundred bales of cotton,
the price of which for good middling
was 13 cents a pound, were sold here.
And the people came to trade and
did trade, as a result of which the
storekeepers and business
the best day they have had in the
past year or two. Everybody was
busy, and the crowds lided up on the
streets and in the stores presented a
scene such as is usually the case on
circus days. Tiie business men were
tired when the business was over,
and while they can rest on this Sab
bath day, they will be lack and
ready for business bright and early
tomorrow morning.
It fa, a fact that is being generally
commented upon, that collections
were never be'ter than they are now,
and this is an evidence ot prosperity.
In some instances, debtors are paying
their fall notes before they fall due.

“Human Hearts.’’
“Human Hearts,” “the idyl” of the
Arkansas Hills, will be produced at the
Bijou Thursday, matinee and night.
Time only increases its hold upon the
hearts of the people. The prattle ot an
innocent child, the tears of an old
blind mother, the strong love of a sim
ple country giri, the truth of a half-wit,
the love of an old-time negro, the pas
sion of an adventuress, and the tender
memory of a dead mother of the past
of the governor of Arkansas, are all
cleverly intermingled by the deft hand
of the author of this absorbing tale of
the Arkansas hills. Each succeeding
season of this thrilling play’s annually
increasing business has induced the
management to engage for this season's
production one of the strongest compa
nies ever organised in one cast. To the
lovers of a good play, not one on the
list this season will appeal more strong
ly than “Human Hearts.”
“Human Hearts” will be seen in our
wity at the Bijou Theatre Thursday
matinee and night Tbaplay this
season will be presented with a now
scenic equipment and an exceptionally
strong company.

Slavery Conditions In Portuguooe Is
lands Arouse British Reformers.
In calling attention to conditions ex
isting on the Portuguese islands of
San Tbome and Principe, off the coast
of Africa, the British Anti-slavery so
ciety declares that the -cocoa slavery"
existing there is worse than anything
' that appeared in the days when there
were slaves in Jamaica.
It seems that from 30.000 to 37.00 C
negroes are on the islands of Baa
Thome and Principe and that the mor
tality is so great that it la necessary
to import between 5.000 and AOOO an.
' uually to keep up the number and that
• those who arrive on the Wands are
about half of the number sent from the
interior. In other words, 10,000 lives
. are annually sacrificed that cocoa may
be cheap. ■
