THE GOVERNOR-ELECT MEANS
70 HOLD GEORGIA LEGISLA
TURE DOWN.
10 INCOME OF THE STATEI
state's Next Executive Really Meansl
pusiness in His intention to Im
prove the Condition of the Pub-j
lic Finances.
\‘l‘l,.»\.\”l‘A.-—Despite the fact that
any ZOvernors have threatened to
veto appropriation bills in the event
he legislature expended more than
e state’s income 1O such veto has
on recorded in recent years.
On the other hand, practically ev
ery legislature for the past ten or
welve years has appropriated more
money than the state received, and if
he state’s treasury balance were
taken, and along with it a statement
of liabilities and assets, it would be
c:ound that Georgia is, as a matter
of fact, something like half a million
qollars behind.
The state gets around this condi
tion by a sort of kiting process, pay
‘e a large proportion of last year’s
Jebts with this vear’s money, but the
point has about been reached now
where an accounting will have to be
made.
gix or eight years ago it was possi
ble to pay 30 or 40 per cent of the
school teachers’ salaries for the pre
ceding years in the spring of the
vear following when the tax money
came in. Now it is possible to pay
only a bare 10 per cent, and in a
yvear or two, unless something is
done to relieve the situation, the
teachers will get scarcely any of
heir money for six months to a year
after it has been earned.
slaton Is in Earnest.
Again there comes a governor who
says he is going to see to it that the
lecislature appropriations are keptl
within the state’s income and there |
are many who believe confident]yf
ihat Governor-elect Slaton meansi
what he savs. I
\Mr. Slaton has had an experience;
of some seventeen years in dealing |
with Georgia's finances in the legis- |
{ature. and there is probably not a
man in the state who is more familiar |
with them than he. Tt will be impos-|
<ible for the legislature to hide any- |
(hine from*him when it comes to thei
matter of appropriations. Mr. Slaton;
¢aid in a recent statement regarding
Georgia’s finances that he would not
hesitate to veto the entire general!
appropriation bill at the coming ses
<ion if he finds this necessary in|
order to bring the general assembly |
to a realization of the fact that thel
state will not be permitted to indu]ge‘
in any wild system of finance under{
iis administration.
Mr. Slaton is well aware of thei
tendency of the legislature to pad!
appropriation bills to limit and then]
on top of that to pass some sneoiall
avpropriation bills, as if they didn’t
count. The result of the careless
legislative system is that the state’s
finances have gotten iato a tangle,
which to the layman seems almost
inextricable, |
Difficult to Tell. |
It is often difficult to tell whether
an appropriation should be paid out
of this year's money or last vear’s
money. This fact has made it possi
ble to present to the public two views |
of Georgia’s financial situation, with
the result that if there is a man in
the state who can tell just exactly
where Georgia stands in the matter!
of finances he would be entitled to
rank as the eighth wonder of the!
world, J
Governor-elect Slaton has made it
clear, however, that he does not in
tend to permit any more piling up
of deficit in Georgia's financial sys
tem while he is in office. Not only
does he intend to see that the state
leeps expenses on the inside of the
income, but it is his purpose to ar
range it so that the school teachers’
salaries will hawe the right of way
'_"»\'vr everything else, in so far as it
Is possible to do so.
The governor-elect is now busy
with his first message to the general
assembly in spite of the fact that it
will be three months before he goes
into the executive office. In time he
will unquestionably deal with these
matters in such a way that the legis
lature will understand he means ex
?"‘fl." what he says. Then if there|
= anything like excessive a'ppropria-l
tion the fault will be upon the legis
lative head.

‘oxicating liquors, will hereafter be

DETECTIVE SUES TOWN 100 RE
COVER GAMBLING MONEY.
Was Employed to Hunt Blind Tigers
in Doerun. Did Some Work Here
in Dawson Chasing Them,
The city of Doerun, that thriving
municipality best known by its new
county aspirations, has been made
defendant in one of the most unique
suits ever filed in the superior court
in Colquitt county,
J. A. Patterson, an Atlanta detect
ive who was in Dawson some weeks
ago and was instrumental in “turn
ing up’’ two or three blind tigers, is
the plaintiff in the case. Patterson is
suing on an open account for $129
for expenses alleged to have been
incurred while in the employ of the
city of Doerun, his particular busi
ness being to catch the dispensers of
blind tiger whiskey.
In his suit Patterson has an itemiz
ed statement enumerating all of the
things for which money is alleged to
have been spent, and this is the part
of the case that makes it in a class
by itself.
In the staement of his account
Patterson has charged the city with
money lost in crap and poker games,
crackaloo, matching and various and
sundry forms of gambling. The city
of Doerun is also asked to pay for
the blind tiger booze bought by the
detective at 75 cents a pint, and add
ed to this is 25 cents for a tip; then
in the statement he calls attention to
the fact that sometimes he gave mon
ey to fellows to bring him booze and
they failed to return with the money
or whiskey either, and to cap the
climax he asks the court to have him
reimbursed for the difference in the
price of a ticket from Doerun to Al
bany and the price he had to pay,
hecause the agent could not make the
change
The various forms of law-breaking
in which the detective had to engage
pursuing his arduous labors of
hounding down the nefarious blind
tigers of Doerun was committed
something over two years ago, SO he
doesn’t fear any danger by confess
ing to them.
Col. J. L. Dowling, former inayor
of Doerun, states that Patterson was
employed at $6.00 a day to drive
away blind tiger operators and that
he was paid the entire amount the
city promised him,
When the suit comes up for hear
ing it will prove an interesting one
regardless of how it terminates.

COUPLE WED IN BATHING SUIT.
The Most Unique Nuntial Event That
Has Yet Been Recorded.
A romance o' the sea, whi(_'h ha«
its inception two weeks ago, when the
couple met for the first time in the
water at the bathing beach, had its
culmination at West Palm Beach,
¥la., Thursday in a most novel and
original manner when Miss Linda
Lund and Frederick Kirchner were
‘married in the surf.
The bride, was dressed in a hand
lsome silk bathing costume. In her
fhair were arranged orange blessoms,
{a large bouquet of which she carried
in her hands.
! The groom was dressed in his bath
ing trunks. The minister wore the
!ordinar_v clerical costume. At th 2
iiappropriate moment the groom pro
i duced from a mysterious recess of
' his costume the wedding ring.
! Several hundred people witnessed
the ceremony from the beach.

| The Baltimore Sun says: “The
i parcel post regulations strike a blow
,for the prohibition cause. They ex
clude from the mails all intoxicants
land also fire arms and their parts.
This provision was placed in the reg
}ulations by Robert S. Sharp of Ten
'nessee, a member of the commission.
"l‘he effect of the regulation will be
felt by the mail order whiskey houses
| of Baltimore, which have a large cli
'entele in the dry territory. There
was some opposition to this regula
tion on the ground that the govern
ment licenses the manufacture of
whiskey and other intoxicants, but
brands it as contraband in the opera
tion of the parcel post system.”

Noting with prophetic eyve the an
ti-drinking regulations and prohibi
tions of the railroads and baseball
clubs the Journal of the American
| Medical Association says: “The world
is moving; the old fetich of ‘personal
liberty’ at whatever cost of danger to
the public at large seems to be losing
its power. The time may come when
every man to whom the life and lib
erty of others are entrusted may be
expected or even required to be ab
stemious as the ball player and rail
road employe.”
’ Another prohibition law is to be
enacted. Army and navy officers as:
signed to the aviation squadron may
not use intoxicating drinks, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Herald. The art of
flying requires above all things a
steady hand, a steel nerve and un
flinching cool-headedness, and offi
cials of the war department feel that
even moderate drinking will have a
bad effect on the general condition of
the aviators.
The man of today who takes 1
drink during business hours is very
likely to step into a drug store to
obtain something to kill the smell of
it, remarks thc Boston Advertiser,
and wisely draws the inference: “It
is becoming apparent to an increas
ing number of persons that drink and
business do not belong together.”
Query: What legitimate department
of human activity does belong with
the drink evil?
The Grand Lodge of the Masonic
fraternity of the state of California
at a recent meeting, when more than
a thousand delegates were present,
decide.! to refuse membership in the
order to any one engaged in the lig

agent or employe, and ruled that any
member now in good standing who
should engage in the traffic should
forfeit all Masonic rights and privi
leges.

A DAWSON MAN HURRIED Fl{(l.\li
MONTGOMERY TO ESCAPE 17T, ‘
The Execution of Two White Men and }
Two Negroes Turned Out to Be 1
“ a Bungling Mess, 1‘
Mr. j. S. Lowrey, who was on a
visit to Montgomery, cut it short and
came home Wednesday night be
cause, as he explained, four hang- |
ings were scheduled in that town for |
Thursday, and he did not care to be
there when the grewsome legal trag
edies were enacted.
According to the dispatches from
Montgomery the hangings turned out
to be a bungling mess, one of the
vietims of the gallows living thirty
minutes and was groaning and gasp
ing for breath,
j The first, person to mount the scaf
fold was C. Walter Jones, a white
man convicted of the murder of
Sloan Rowan in a railroad train at
the terminal station. The trap was
sprung under Jones at 6:18 o’clock.
In rapid succession Arnold Gilmer,
John Adams and Coleman ® German
gave up their lives in expiation of
their crimes.
A grewsome gpectacle was pre
sented to those who by law were al
lowed to witness the execution. The
rope slipped when Jones fell and
gradually Jones strangled to death,
the fall failing to break his neck.
When Jones dropped his toes touched
the cement floor and deputies had to
hold his body off the floor. Half
groans coupled with the gasps of the
dying man were heard by the specta
tors and for 34 minutes Jones' holy
quivered and jerked. The trap was
sprung at 6:18 o’clock and Jones was
not pronounced dead until 645
o'clock.
The next man to mount the secaf
fold was Arnold Gilmer, a white
man, condemned for the murder of
Mrs. Lucile Tippetts in a rooming
house on December 23, 1911. Dep
uty Naftel turned the trap door loose
at 7:18 o’cléck and physicians pro
nounced Gilmer dead at 7:25.
John- Adams, a negro who killed
Policeman T. W. Berry almost three
vears ago, bade every person ‘‘good
bye” before he went to his death,
and told his pastor, Rev. A. J.
‘Stokes, to meet him in the other
world. The trap was sprung at
7:50 o’clock and Adams died at 8:04
o’clock.
Coleman German, a negro, was
sent to his end at 8:18 o’clock, and
his heart stopped beating at 8:34.
He was convicted of the murder of
his paramour.

NEW TUBERCULAR CURE
PREVENTIVE VACCINE VIRUS TO
BE TRIED IN THE UNITED
STATES NAVY.
|
THE SURGEONS APPROVE IT
NG i
Has Been Given Tests With érent
Success Among the Children of
North Carolina Orphanage. May
~ Prove a Great Blessing,
WASHINGTON.—One of the most
significant sicps taken by the gov
ernment recently was the request
of Secretary of the Navy Daniels to
Surgeon General Charles F. Stokes of
his department to look into the sub
ject of preventive vaccination against
tuberculosis as presented by Dr. Karl
von Ruck of Asheville, N. C., with a
view to vaccinating the officers and
men of the United States navy.
Dr. Stokes has found vaccination |
for typhoid fever to be a great suc
cess. He will investigate Dr. von
Ruck’s method and if it proves as
meritorious as its friends claim that
it is will apply it to his fighting
men.
Dr. von Ruck was in Washington
last week and conferred with Sec
retary Daniels and Dr. Stokes. He
offered to throw open his laboratories
and make public any information in
his possession free of charge.
Surgeons Approve It.
Although government experts will
not say so for publication they think
that Dr. von Ruck comes nearer hav
ing what will prove a boon to \'vhitel
plague sufferers than Dr. Friedmann
has. l
" Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon general |
of the United States public health‘
service, will also test the von Ruck
remedy. ’
Dr. C. A. Julian, a tuberculosis ex-l
pert, has tried the von Ruck method
on several hundred children at Thom- '
asville, N, C. '
“After becoming acquainted withl
Dr. von Ruck’s investigations,” says
Dr. Julian, “and having become con-l
vinced of the safety of the method
I arranged with Dr. von Ruck for itsi
application in a series of children at |
the Baptist orphanage of Thomas
ville. Two hundred and sixty-two‘
children were vaccinated between |
Oct. 1 and Oct 15, 1911, under myl
personal observation. |
Satisfactory Results, !
“The results observed appeared So |
satisfactory that I since that timP’
undertook the vaccination of another
series of 131 children, for which Dr. |
von Ruck was kind enough to supply ’
the vaccine and also to make the
biological tests of the blood speci
mens.
“The vaccine is a product obtained
from tubercle bacilli, but does not
contain them in either dead or living
form., but it represents the several
constituents of the tubercle bacillus
in such proportons as were found
necessary in preliminary studies of
their chemistry and in animal experi
ments to produce the highest attain- |
able degree of immunity.
“eneral results witnessed in the
339 children vaccinated were first
manifest in the appearance especially
by a better color and improvement
in the condition of the skin.
Children Grew Brighter.
“With better appetite and assimi
lation there occurred a corresponding
increase in weight, the children grew
brighter, more active and interested
and have shown an appearance cf
growth and of development in all re
spects that attracted the attention of
all who frequently came in contaci
with them, and I do not think it a
coincidence that the general health
condition at the children’s orphanage
has since then strikingly changed for
the better, as we have had less indis
position and sickness in the vaccinat
ed children durir}g the past year than
ever before.
“A comparison of welght averagzes
gives the interesting result that after
a period of fourteen months the tu
berculosis and probably the non-tu
berculous haye increased twice as
much in per cent of body weight as
did the normal ehildren and that the
increase of the former after only
three months is indeed nearly four
times as great.”
Dr. von Ruck believes that the use
of his remedy will prove a great
blessing. It may help to save about
150,000 lives a year. ‘
