If all the dintinguiahed sons!

We would Ih> glad for every

The governors of 26 sovereign !

watched the big guns on Sandy •
Hook hurl 1000 lb projectiles at 1

The newly elected convict war

Much ot our space last week

IS GEORGIA LIVING 100 FAST?
Last week at Dublin, Hon.
!<« I! i' ll addressed' the citi
zen: of Laurens county, and his
; ri was directed against the
prop ■ ed amendment to the con
n m allowing the governor
io no row s.’>( 10,000, and toanoth
■r amendment requiring certain
corporations to pay theit taxes at
an earlier date than other tax-
I payers.
Mr. Hall occupies a unique po
sition as a legislator, having
served as a member of the house
k nger than any other member,
and fought continuously and per
astently against extravagance in
h iiiat ter of the state’s finances,
lie !.. long been a terror on the
Ha of the house lo members of
-mailer calibre who come with
a a-s to get the state’s money.
Some assertions of Mr. Hall in
w Dublin speech should be read
: , w tv taxpayer, as they con
■ ,i facts that go to show that
a-- ■ ending each year the
a I-' . a t hat should be left for the
■ ,pen ses of the next year just
p- a ding each year’s revenue the
year before we get it.
Mr. Hall says:
Ti.< appropriations of the leg
iiv exceed the revenue of 5
■ the dollar together with,
a rental of the state road. Now
Few all is to allow the governor
", burrow S,7tHi.ooo to meet the
appropriations made by the leg
iattui. It gives the governor
iln poWi r to Imutow money for
this y< ur's expenses to he paid
out of next year’s revenues, cut
' down that revenue by that
much. The people must stop it
or the debt will grow into a
b mli.nl debt and the people will
be overburdened.
la. taxes for the support of
1 th. government next year are
i ileeted this year. When the
t.i■-.*•> are collected in October
i ..ri of tlie money is used to pay
t ; u current year’s expenses.
“It is time that the appropria
s are brought within the rev
enue stop spending part of next
ear’s money this year, and keep
| money in the treasury to meet
! expenses.
Send men to the legislature
v, ~ i will consider the tax payers
lot men who are concerned i
• e nit getting into the j
treasury.
Ma > counties get more j
■ • ■ :e . back in {tensions, school
appropriations than I
tie \ pay into the treasury in
i t axes.

•AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Senoia Enterprise-Gazette:—
Governor Smith followed Govern
or Brown’s position on the West
lernand Atlantic Railroad lease
proposition. The Journal kicked
and snorted to beat the hand j
when Brown left it with the com- (
missioners. Wonder what, it will
have to say now!
Laurens County Herald: —lt
looks as if Georgia is going to
have a gubernatorial race within
a gubernatorial race this year.
A primary for Jackson county
alone has been suggested to de
cide which of the county’s three
candidates for governor she can
best spare.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch: You
must not kill your own game or
get a friend to do so for you.
You cannot buy birds without
aiding in a law violation. That
is a fool provision of the new
game law that no jury will aid
in enforcing.
Atlanta Georgian:—One Geor
gia vine yielded a car load of
pumpkins. Just merely another
reason why you should invest
your money in Georgia soil.
Darien Gazette:—Mr. Bryan
says he doesn’t know of anything
that could happen to make him
run for the presidency again. Ho
! would run all right if he thought
he could get the nomination, even
. if he thought a fourth defeat
' stared him in the face.
Americas Ti mes-Recorder:
Several exchanges regard At-:
lanta’s wonderful self control in
not calling for the lynching of
the clerks who hailed up the city
charter, and other bills, as little
short of marvelous.
>
Valdosta Times: Uncle Sam
, is building two battleships that
will put him ahead of Germany
and next, to England in strength
on the high seas. Uncle Sam
, sends big delegations to the Hague
conferences, and he backs up
their work at home by keeping
his powder dry.
Nashville Herald:—Wish every
county in Georgia had a superin
tendent of public schools like
Berrien’s, He says no teacher j
can get a job in Berrien who does
not subscribe for the county
paper.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: —lt is
stated that a Georgia railroad hasi
been assessed SIO,OOO for killing
a hog. Ordinarily, those Georgia j
trains are run so slowly that
they gently push aside the va
grant cattle aad wayward porkers
which stay upon the tracks, and
it is rare indeed that accidents
happen. In the present case, the
penalty must have been imposed
for overspeeding.
Savannah has let the contract
for a new hotel to lie erected at
the corner of Bull and Congress
streets, where the old Screven
j House stands, the new building
to esst about $370,000.
