GOV. BROWN'S VETO 1
ENTIRLY PROPER
Prominent Traveling Man
Says It Was Best For
All Concerned.
According to Col. Max Krauss,
the dean of Georgia traveling |
men, Gov. Brown made a wise I
move when he vetoed the rail
road mileage bill.
Col. K aiss wts for years
chairman of the railroad commit
tee of the Georgia division of the
T. P. A., and in that capacity
did everything he could to im
prove the conditions for travelers
in Georgia. At present he is
chairman of the railroad commit
tee of Post A, T. P. A., and his
views on the vetoed mileage bill i
will be of interest to the travel
ing public.
The passage of the bill would
have. Col. Krauss believes, re
sulted in the railroads changing
the interchangeable arrange
ment. That was the result of the
passage of a similar bill in South
Carolina, and there is every reas
on to believe, said Col. Krauss,
that the railroads of Georgia
would have taken the same ac
tion.
At present interchanageable
mileage is sold by all of the rail
roads at the rate of two cents a
mile. The railroads had indicat
ed their opposition to the bill that
was passed by the General As
sembly and sent up to Gov.
Brown, and if the Governor had
approved the bill Col. Krauss has
reason to helive that the rail
roads would have withdrawn the
interchangeable mileage privil
ege.
The bill in question sought to
require the railroads to “pull”
mileage on the trains. The pres
ent arrangement is for the trav
eler to exchange his mileage for i
a ticket at the railroad station.
The interchangeable privilege is
voluntary on the part of the rail
roads, and they can withdraw it
at their pleasure. The represen
tatives of the railroads had inti
mated that they would have taken
this action had the bill been ap
proved by the Governor.
The only wise step for the
traveling men to take now, ac
cording to Col. Krauss, is to en
deavor to have the railroads is
sue a special mileage book in ad
dition to the interchangeable
book now issued. This special
book would allow conductors on
the railroad by which the book
was issued to “pull” the mileage,
eliminating the necessity of ex
changing the mileage for a ticket
at the station of departure.
It is the opinion of Col. Krauss |
that the railroads will be willing
to issue this special mileage book.
By the issuance of this the trav
eling men could have their choice
of buying the regular mileage,
exchangeable for tickets at the
station of departure and good j
over any road, or the purchase of i
the special mileage books which
•could be used only on the road
from which they were bought’,
but which would eliminate the
necessity of exchanging the mile
age for tickets at the point of
departure.
Gov. Brown in vetoeing the
measure had the interests of the
traveling public at heart, declared
Col. Krauss yesterday. “Gov.
Brown has been charged with
being a railroad man, but that is .
all a mistake,” he continued.
“The Governor is trying to do
the the best for the people of the
state.”—Savannah News.
Would Get Heavier.
An Indian went hunting one
day for deer. After tramping
through the woods for some
hours he came came across a
herd and managed to kill one.
He shouldered it and started for
market, which was some five
miles away. Now of course, the
longer he walked the heavier the
deer got, and by the time he
reached the deer market he was
about all in. He hung the deer
on the scales and stood looking
at it with wonder. Finally he
said to the man: “Ugh! Let
him hang a while.”
Big Money for Inventions.
Every time you pull the cap
from a beer bottle or a soda bot
tle you put a fraction of a cent
in the pocket of W. H. Painter of
Baltimore, the inventor, the De
troit Free Press remarks.
DeQuillifeldt, a New Jersey in
ventor, made $15,000, (XX) out of
j a rubber bottle stopper he inven
ted.
Hyman L. Lipman of Philadel
phia got $160,000 for a lead pen
cil rubber eraser.
The little metal staple used to
hold buttons on shoes brought a
big fortune to a man named
Heaten of Providence.
A man named Dennison pasted
several little rings about the hole
in a shipping tag and thus made
an “eye” that would not pull
1 out'and got a fortune for it.
Silverthorn retired with enough
money to last him the rest of his
life. Made it out of brass toe
tips for boys’ shoes.
One man cleared SIOO,OOO in
venting a tin can.
Another invented an opener
for that can and cleared nearly a
million.
Still another invented the self
opening can, the one with a key,
and cleaned up a million.
When Traveling.
Take a candle in your bag and
a box of safety matches. When
they are wanted you will be glad
they were put in. The space re
quired for them is small. A
passenger on a steamer that was
wrecked had a small candle which
enabled her to collect some of
her most valuable possessions
when the lights went out after
the collision.—Today’s Magazine.
Shutting Off the Oratory.
The most nervous person at
j the banquet was a young journal
ist who had been invited to make
a speech, says the Popular Mag
i azine. He did not enjoy the
food. From soup to nuts he
continually brushed his brow
with the back of his hand in a
dazed manner and put his hand
kerchief into every pocket in his
clothes, one after the other, in
systematic and painful rapidity.
He was seated next to Joseph G.
Cannon, who knows all there is
to know about going to banquets
and being bored by the speeches
that come afterward. The young
man, full of idea and language,
jumped to his feet as if he had
been shot out of a gun when his
turn came. He looked like some
body who had been hypnotized,
and thrown into a cataleptic
: state.
“Gentlemen,” he began, “it is
my humble opinion that the
generality of mankind in general
is disposed to take advantage of
the generality of—”
“Sit down, son,” cut in Uncle
Joe. “You have gone into the
|same hole you started from.”
And that ended the speech.
Col. Wooten Complimented.
Col. W. A. Wooten, of East
man, was among the visitors to
the State convention. Col. Woot
en enjoys the distinction of run
i ning for the office of solicitor
general for the first time without
any opposition. That is some
thing new in Georgia politics,
and the Oconee circuit set the ex- j
ample in deference to the man
arid the candidate. Col. Wooten
was reared in Montgomery coun
ty, and represented that county
in the Georgia Legislature, where
his ability was recognized. He
then moved to Mcßae and was
solicitor-general of the city court
for five years without opposition.
He moved to Eastman in the
spring of 1911 and formed a
partnership with C. W. Griffin.
He was a member of the State
executive committee, appointed
by the Parker convention of 1904.
He is a staunch admirer of The
Macon Telegraph and its political
and industrial policies. He is yet
a young man and a great future
lies before him. — Macon Tele

SOME CHANGES IN
GEORGIA'S GAME LAW
Amendments Made By The
Legislature at Last
Session.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31. — Hon.

amendments to the game law by
the last legislature. These were
the changes:

The deer season was advanced
one month, and is now from
September Ist to December Ist,
whereas last year the season was
from October Ist to January Ist.
Fox squirrels were protected
until January Ist. 1918.
Under the amended law the
following are deemed to be game
birds in Georgia: Quail or par
tridges, doves, snipe, woodcock,
curlews, wild -turkeys, grouse,

and who has the consent of the
land owner, may kill not more
than three bucks in any one sea

not kill more than 25 birds of
any species in any one day ex

A penalty was added to section
7.
All hunting licenses expire on
the 20th day of February. Last
year they expired on February
29th.
Mr. Mercer says: “The de
partment is fairly well organized
and the commission invites the
criticism of the press and the
people interested in the adminis
tration in any county. Reports
of any dereliction on the part of
the officers of this department
or of any violations of the law
by any citizens of the state will
be appreciated and the names of
informants will be protected as
far as is consistent with the ends
of justice. It is the purpose of
| this department to enforce the
I law evenly, and give the fieople
: of the state full benefit of its very
wide provisions.”
