by Compt roller-General Will Ism a.
Wright, three of which show a healthy
Increase oyer laxt year's returns, only
one showing a d^reise. ,
Comptroller Wright is highly slated
at the splendid start for the yenr and
I he believes there will be a big increase

ties of the state. The tax digests are
nil duo by August 1, snd It la believed
that they will all be In by that time.
The counties heard from are
Lowndes. Schley, Gordon and Pickens.
The** digests came In early Monday
morning and wero opened with great
Interest by Capt/Tlp Harrison, who is
In charge of the tax department of the
comptroller s office. He turned to the
coneoIMatpd returns the first thing to
find out what the Increase In the taxes
from the counties were. Hers Is how
they showed up:
Iy>wndex county,'an Increase of $217,-
431 over ths returns of 1908.
Gordon county, un Increase of 870,-
171 over the returns of last year.
Hchley county, an increase of 849,636
over the returns of last year.
The only decrease shown was In
Pickens county, where the returns
•lumped some $8,000. Other counties
which trill isnd their digesta In within
the next few days, however, ore ex

Report cf the Penitentiary Population
N Develops Some Very Interesting
Facts.
ATLLANTA. July Ifl.— Fnrr.e Inter
esting statistics are contained Jn the
annual report of the prl«on commission
of Georg Li which was Issued from the
prepH Monday mornln. The recom
mendations of the commission which
appear in the report have already been
published.
One of the most interesting tables
of figures Is the one showing the previ
ous occupations of -the convicts prior
to their conviction. Nearly every pro
fession is represented except the news
paper profession. There are doctors,
lawyers, prefcchers, and the like but no
newspaper men. The only thing that
sounds anything like newspaper Is a
news-butcher who is confined at one
of the camps.
There are seven preachers, In the
walls of the Georgia penitentiary. The
report does not say whether they are
white or black, but the presumption
Is that they are of the latter color.
Fulton county loads In the number
of convicts, having all told sentenced
from this county 899. Chatham county
comes next with 139 and Bibb county
third with 116. Union county Is the
only county In the state having no
convicts at all. There are numerous
counties with only one convict, but
Union stands alone In not having a
single criminal In the walls of the peni
tentiary. , 4
There are 1,111 married convicts nnd
1,301 unmarried ones. There are 1,115
who esn read and write, 204 who can
only read and 926 who are wholly il
literate. Bervlng their first term In
the penitentiary are 2.017, serving their
second term are 242, -serving their
third term are 38. their fourth term 8,
the fifth term 7. their sixth term 1. and
their seventh term 1.
The crimes for which the convicts
are serving term* nnd the number for
each term are as follows:
Adultery. 10; aiding escape. 3; ar
son. 76; attept to murder, 138; attempt

about this. It Is wonderful
The question of fixing n date for
the notification of the candidateo was
talked over and finally referred to the
candidates to fix the date and place of
notification.
"There was also a general discussion
as to the favorable prospects of the
party In the coming campaign.
"There was no discussion whatever
concerning the selection of a chairman
of the nntionnl committee."
Mr. Dgvia engaged In the discussion
of all topics before the conference but
In no more personal vein than others
In attendance. His most significant
statement was in relation to the uniting
of all interests.
The gathering of so many strong men
representing factions which had not
always pulled together, he said, was In
dicative of a strong campaign.
The meeting gave a number of those
present the first opportunity they have
had of congratulating Mr. Davis since
his nomination at St. Louis, and the
reception accorded him was hearty.
The discussion of prospects in the
coming-campaign was general In char
acter. Tha opinion was expressed by
several that Western Democrats would
S ve earnest support to the ticket and
at no fear of factional opposition need
be entertained.
Speaking of the report that It would
be necessary to give the nomination
for the governorship to New York city
In order to bring the McCnrren and
Murphy forces together, August Bel
mont said: "There Is absolutely noth
ing to It. Victor Dowling was present
at the conference, representing Tam-
tnanyj and no mention was made of
the situation In New York so far as
any difference between alleged factions
of the party is concerned. There are
no factions In the Democratic party in
this stats, and we expect to work to
gether for success."
Senator Bailey of Texas, who has
been In the city several days, did not
attend the conference, although he met
with several Individual members of
tho conference during the day. He de
clared the chances of party success
wire better than ever before.
It is expected that many prominent
Democrats win go to Esopus tnls week
In an effort to enlist the aid of Judge
Parker to the support of various as
pirants for the national chairmanship.
That any one will be successful In this
Is asserted to be very doubtful.

Assessment of Corporations.
ATLANTA. July 18.~-The general
judiciary committee of the senate held
a meeting this afternoon for the pur
pose of considering the bill of Mr. Hall
of Bibb, which passed the house a
week or ten days ago, providing for the
appointment by the comptroller gen
eral of a state board of assessors to
pass upon the value of property owned
by corporations In this state. The bill
waa read and finally referred to a sub
committee constating of Senators
Northern. Davis und Hopkins. This
commlit. It Is said, will make an effort
to reach a conclusion aa to the advisa
bility of the passage of the measure in
a day or two. The Hall measure hoe
few friends In the senate. Tht popular
opinion of the members of that body
seems to be that the bill Is unconsti
tutional. The bill Introduced by Sena
tor Hopkins, providing for t state board
of assessors, to be appointed by the
governor, and county board of squall-
1ns to be appolnter by the mounty
eommiaioners of a county of the ordi
nary when there In no hoard of county
commissioners, seems to be more to the
UWng of a majority of the members of
the senate, and It would surprise no
one here If the Hopklnn bill waa sub
stituted for the Hall measure.
Probably the most striking difference
between the two bills, so far as the ap
pointment of a state board of as
sessors of corporation property U the
fact that Mr. Halt wants the cemptro*'

Physician In charge of State In;
Asylum at Columbia, 8. C.. writes:
• After using your Peruna myself for
a short period, and my family having
used ana are now using the same with
good results, and upon the informa
tion of others who have been bene
fited by it as a cure for catarrh and
an invigorating tonic, I can cheerfully
recommend it to all persons requiring
so effective a remedy/—Dr. J. F. Ensor.
Hon. C. W. Butts. ex-Member of
Congress from North Dakota, in a let
ter from Washington, D. C., says:
‘ That Peruna Is net only a vigorous,
as well as an effective tonic, but also
a cure of catarrh is beyond contro
versy. It Is already establishtd by Its
use by the thousands who have been
benefited by it I cannot too highly
express my appreciation of its excel
lence."—C. W. Butts.
Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, L T.,
writes:
"Peruna Is the best medicine I know
of for coughs and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing It for catarrh. I have or
dered It for weak and debilitated peo
ple, and have not had a patient but
saM it helped him. It Is an excellent
medicine and it fits so many cases.
"I have a large practice, and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. I
hope you may live long to do good to
the sick and suffering.”
Only the week need a tonic. People
are never weak except from some good
cause. One of the obscure causes of
weakness and tho one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh Inflames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma to
escape through the mucous membrane
In the form of mucous. This dla-
ebarge of mucous is the same as the
loss of blood. It produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and pre
vents the discharge of mucous. This
Is why Peruna Is called a tonic. Pe
runa does not give strength by stimu
lating the nervous system a little.
It gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage.
It gives rtrength by converting the
blood tlplds and preventing their drain
ing away fn mucous discharges.
Poruna Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so mdny .home? is
that it contains no narcotics of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length of time
without acquiring a drug habit. Pe
runa docs not produce temporary re
sults. It Is permanent In its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where - Pe
runa has been used off and on for
twenty years. Such a thing could not
be possible If Peruna contained any
drugs of a narcotic nature.
