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 Krauss has reason to helive that the rail roads would have withdrawn the interchangeable mileage privil ege.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 graph. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SETT. 5, 1912. SOME CHANGES IN GEORGIA'S GAME LAW Amendments Made By The Legislature at Last Session. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31. — Hon. Jesse E. Mercer, the state game warden, has issued a statement for the benefit of the hunters of of Georgia, showing exactly the amendments to the game law by the last legislature. These were the changes: Field larks were added to the unprotected lists of birds, migra tory ducks and marsh hens were added to the list of game birds, the squirrel season was extended to include two more months, and is now August Ist to January Ist. 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, pheasants, ducks and marsh hens. The season for quail, doves, turkey gobblers was lengthened ten days to include thanksgiving, and is now from November 20 to March 1. The following are outlawed birds, English sparrows, field larks, owls, hawks, eagles, crows and rice birds and may be killed at any season. The following are the game animals protected: Fawn, doe and fox squirrels for five years; bucks may be killed between September 1 and December Ist. Cat squirrels between August 1 and January I,opossums between October Ist and March Ist. No other animals are protected un der the law, but a license is re quired to hunt game birds or non-game birds or animals at any time. A hunter provided with license, and who has the consent of the land owner, may kill not more than three bucks in any one sea son and three wild turkey gob blers in any one season. He must not kill more than 25 birds of any species in any one day ex cept snipe or doves, of which one person may kill 40 in one day and migratory ducks of which 50 may be killed in one day. 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.” Father Was Hanged; Daughter Writes Him.
