BRADLEY FOR
Strong Sentiment in That Direc¬
tion is Manifested.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 3.—That
there is a strong sentiment in fa¬
vor of making Rev. H. Stiles
Bradley, former pastor of Trinity
Methodist church, of Atlanta,
chancellor of the University of
Georgia to succeed the late Walter
B. Hill, was announced yesterday
at the capitol by Hon. Newt. A.
Morris, termer speaker of the
Georgia house of representatives,
and new a prominent attorney of
Marietta, Ga. A board of trustees
which will elect a new chancellor
will be chosen early this spring.
Practically no one tip to this time
has been mentioned for the chan¬
cellorship. Mr. Morris says that
all the people to whom he has
mentioned Dr. Bradley’s name m
connection with t he pa> gav e->
1 iiU a? - u B 1 1 in.
ing pas .01 01 lrii.iiy. Dr. Bradley
was a member of the faculty 01
Emory college at Oxford, Ga.
He was quite as well known in e,d
ncational circles at that time as he
is now in the religious world. Dr.
Bradley has long been regarded
oue nt tin- 8 * roi gest personalities
in S' uthei'u Methodism, it may
be rememb red that when the re
c:>nt confeietice of North Georgia
was held nt Xewnan charges of
heresy wer~ filed against Dr Brad
lev A c mmitr d. tho.
oug investigation, anti he Was
Completely ex neiated. In «,he
meantime he was transferred from
Trinity to St. John’s church in
St. Louis succeeding Dr. J. W.
Lee who was transferred from that
conference to-this.and assigned to
duty at Trinity church, a former
1 harge. Prominent educators who
have heard Mr. Morris’ suggestion
unh. sitaTn >Iy assert that no bet¬
ter chancellor could be found than
Dr. Bradley. That lie would be a
favorite with the student body
g-es without saying, f ,r Dr. Brad¬
ley is an earmst advocate of clean,
manlv sport and with him as chan¬
cellor it is well nigh certain that
the University from a sportman’s
viewpoint would become a great
factor in southern athletics.
As to State Banks.
State Treasurer It. E. Park has
made a very interesting report as
* ’ ^ ie number and business of state
banks in Georgia in the year 1905.
The gei.crai condition of these in¬
stitutions is excellent. During
the past twelve months 301 state
banks were examined by Treasurer
Park, and the snowing made by
them spoke well of the progress
and prosperity of Georgia and her
people.
Perhaps nearly 50 new hanks
have been chartered in Georgia
since the said 801 banks were
atnined. ex
The total mi m her of
state banks at the close of 1905
was about 850.
Deaths of College Presidents.
Th* }ear 1905 will go down in
history ns a period that has been
particularly disastrous to the in
itutioiis of learning in Georgia.
It has Ken marked by no less than
tour fati 1 <ties among college presi
dents, and in this respect eclipses
all previous years.
During the year the following
well known educators, all presi

ON HIS
“Sailor Jean” Arrives in Coving¬
ton Next Thursday.
• t Sailor Jeau,” the niau who is
walking and pushing his “‘trol'ey
ette’’ to every state capitol in the
United States, is scheduled to ar¬
rive in Covington n°xt Thursday,
the lltli.
Wheu he completes his journey
at Boston, Mass, on Oct. 1st, 11*06,
he will have walked 20,000 miles,
and pushed his “trolleyette” that
distance. He will publish a ly ok
after he completes the trip.
“Sailor Jean” started out from
Augusta, Maine, April 1st, 1903,
and has walked all over the West
ern and Northern states, and is
now making his way back through
the Atlantic states. This is the
longest and most remarkable trip
any man has ever undertaken 011
foot. It is nearly equal t<- cross¬

New Tax Laws For New Year.
Comptroller General Wright is
sending out his annual letter of
j instruction to the county tax col
lectors. The instructions contain
| partiuclar reference to certain
;changes in the tax act since last
i year.
! Bank presidents are exempt from
the specific tax of $ 10 , which has
i heretofore been levis-d upon them
The State tax upon all liqui r
d is for 1906 is $300 iusteud "of
$200 as heretofore'.
Agents of non resident corpora¬
tions who manufacture patent soda
water syrups must pay the $400
tax just the same as home con
c jrus who make them.
Bottling works where soda and
light drinks are bottled are taxed
for the fi st time next year, h«
tax ranging from $5 to $ 200 , rc
c .rditig to tho amount of business
done.
A . specific ,. . lax is put , roi the f. fir-t .
.. tune upon all ,, home , and , c foreign
corporations, tins . tax . being . gradu- ,
ated , . accordance , with • , ,, the
, iu cor
porat .. ion , s capital • , stock , , as r follows:
,, Corporations . with . . capital . , stock ,
nut exceeding $25,000. $ 5 ; with
capital stock of * 20.000 to ♦100..
000 , $ 10 ; capital ,4 $ 100,000 to
to *800,000, $23; with capital
$300,000 to $£>00,000, $50; with ...
capital , $o00,000fto ... Arwa, $1,000,000. nn .-. aaa $7o;
and ... with capital ... over .$ 4 1 . 000 /veil aaa 000
, , ,
Dealers iu tnbacco of any kind
who redeem tags on their packages
plugs must pay a tax of $ 200 .
The only other important change
in the law is that all corporations
in the state who are required to re¬
turn their franchise for taxation to
the comptroller general, must also
return to him their physical prop¬
erty. Heretofore certain classes of
corporati >ns, such as gas compan¬
ies, electric light companies and
similal corporations have returned
their franchises t> the comptroller
general.
These are the principal
iu the tax act which goes into
led this mouth. Most of the
specific taxes called for under this
act at- due with the beginning of
the year.
