A number of meritorious meas ures were enacted into law, but a much larger number failed of passage. Among the latter was the school book bill, the bill to exempt college en dowments from taxation, the bill pro viding for biennial sessions ot the Gen eral Assembly, the bill prescribing four-year terms for State and county officers and making the Governor ineli gible to re-election, besides a number of other important measures. The fol lowing bills were passed, viz: To create the counties of Barrow, Candler, Bacon and Kvans. To reorganize the State Board of Health. To change the date for holding State ami county elections from the first Wed nesday in October to the first Tuesday in November, thus consolidating all gen eral electisns. To make members of the General As sembly hold over unlil their successors are elected and qualified. To increase the powers of the Depart ment of Agriculture in the regulation of pure food laws and in checking hog cholera and cattle tick. To give State aid to the Entomologi cal Department in eradicating black root and fighting the boll weevil. To amplify existing laws relative to the employment of child labor. To make it a misdemeanor to draw a check against a bank in which the drawer of the check has no money on deposit. CONTEMl'TIHt.E. A few days ago ex-Judge Newt Mor ris, of Marietta, printed a card in the Atlanta papers in which he charged that nn inspection of the tax books of Fulton county showed that both Gov. Slaton and Mrs. Slaton were tax dodgers, etc. He charged specifically that Mrs. Slaton returned no personalty for taxation, yet the facts are that Mrs. Slaton did return person alty to the amount of $11,01)0, besides real estate valued at. $415,725, and that, she will pay in taxes this year the sum of $(5,000. His charge of tax dodging against Gov. Slaton was also shown to be unfounded, as revealed by the tax digest of 101 1. According to the digest (iov. Slaton returned property this year to the amount of $15,200, as against $0, GOO in 1913. Measured by Judge Morris' standard, even a baseless charge against Gov. Slaton might be considered plausible politics, because the Governor is a can didate and therefore regarded as a fair target for any shaft aimed at him, however envenomed it may be: but to retlect upon Mrs. Slaton’s honesty, from no motive other than to embarrass her husband's candidacy, is cowardly and contemptible. The attention of every reader of The llernld and Advertiser is called to the splendid speech of Hon. W (\ Wright, delivered at Talbot ton on Friday last. It is a clean-cut. candid declaration of the principles for which Mr. Wright stands, and upon which he is making the race for Congress. It is moreover a manly, straightforward presentation of the issues involved in the campaign, and will carry conviction wherever it is read and pondered. It is a vote-maker too, as is evidenced by the warm re ceptions and earnest pledges of support he has been receiving at all of his ap pointments. Atlanta Constitution; "The prompt action of Commissioner of Agriculture James D Price in calling a meeting of the Commissioners of Agriculture of the South to meet in Washington to take steps to relievo the cotton-growers in the face of what appears to be a cri sis as a result of the European war, is being very favorably commented on by officials at the capitol, and it is pre dicted that, the meeting will result in great good to the farmers of the State. Mr. Price is right in the midst of a heated campaign for re-election, but he nesday afternoon last his mother-in-law was killed in an automobile accident near Marietta, Cedartown Standard: "Hon. J. D. Price—'Farmer Jim' —is serving his first term as Commissioner of Agricul ture, where he is making a record of unsurpassed usefulness. The farmers of Georgia are going to look to their own interest, and will keep him in the position where he is serving them so well.” ^ Hon E. L. Hainey, candidate for re- election to the office of Prison Commis sioner, seems to be having easy sailing, and deserves to. He has made a splen did official, and should be continued in the position in which he has rendered such useful service to the State. Will Wright is a clean man, and is making a clean race. Wright for Congress. The War and the Price of Cotton! Atlanta Constitution. There’s no need for the South to be alarmed. Cotton isn’t going to be a drag. The farmer won’t have to "give it away!” The average price will he a paying price, and every bale will be in demand. Dig into the facts and there’« plenty of sound reasons to inspire confidence. We needed ships flying the American ling to carry cotton and cotton goods safely into foreign ports. We needed means for financing early cotton while conditions are still chaotic. Congress is about to meet both these needs in ample measure. The burden of the cry of the pessimist is, “The foreign countries can’t use this crop.” Look at the facts: Seventy-five per cent, of the labor in cotton mills is made up of women, chil dren and men not subject to draft. And the ocean is open to safe navigation. Will these mills close, with cotton in reach, plenty of labor, and the nations to be clothed and provided for? Of course, their output will be de creased, maybe cut in two, but any such must be largely offset by the in creased production of American mills. There is where we come in! Don’t you see? Germany will be practically kept off the seas. She supplies the heavy cot ton goods (the kind that requires most cotton in its manufacture) to South America in overwhelming preponder ance, and largely to Africa. This business must be diverted to American mills. There’s nowhere else for it to go! Isn’t it simple? American mills can run double shift, with the markets of the wolrld wide open, and can increase their consump tion of raw cotton to a point that cun easily maintain prices to the last sea son’s level. The chance of a century! And The Constitution has been showing it every dav for a week ! The American mills should develop t rade that will last forever. The pre- sent condition should result in an enormous increase in Southern spindles. It is certain to result in a greater home market for raw cotton. Be of good cheer! It’s nil right! If the Southern farmers will sit tight, re fuse to sacrifice their cotton until con ditions are readjusted—and it won’t be long-there’ll bo plenty and prosperity for them in abundance! Compliment Paid State Treasurer Speer. Cordele Humbler. We are pleased to note the high com pliment. paid our worthy State Treas urer, Hon. W. J. Speer, by the legisla tive committee appointed to investigate the Treasury Department. Mr. Speer has for a number of years given his ser vices as State Treasurer, and it is with out question that his record is one that reflects credit on the State. The people of Georgia should remember, in casting their votes on Aug. 19, that there is one faithful servant of the State who should receive at their hands an over whelming indorsement, and that Hon. W. J. Speer should he elected State Treasurer by one of the old-time Dem ocratic majorities, thus evidencing the faith the people have in a worthy and efficient public servant. It would he political folly to take from the State of Georgia at this time, when true and tried men are needed, this splendid offi cial who has stood watchman at the door of the Treasury for many years past, and turn over the finances of the State to untrained and inexperienced hands, and that for purely political pur poses. We hope to see Georgians rally to Hon. W. J. Speer and make his elec tion unanimous on Aug. It). A Georgian has been appointed dep uty warden of the United States Fed eral penitentiary in Atlanta. lie is Howard U. Arnold of Greenville, Ga., and was named Monday by Attorney- General Mclieynolds. Sir. Arnold re places former Deputy Warden Hawk, who recently resigned. On Jan. 1 Mr. Arnold came to Atlanta as inspector of the income tax for this division. He lias now moved into the homo of the deputy warden at the penitentiary. Another Georgian, Bum Williams, of Woodbury, was named by the Treasury Department to (ill Mr. Arnold's former position.— Atlanta Constitution. 'Communicated. Judge Nash R. Broyles For Court of Appeals. The election of Judge Nash R. Broyles to the Court of Appeals seems assured. The fame of Judge Broyles as an impartial, able and courageous administrator of the law is not confined to Georgia, but has Bpread over the en tire South. He has been a blessing to the city of Atlanta. For fifteen years he has firmly and righteously enforced the law in the capital of Georgia. His legal ability is unquestioned. Now that he seeks a wider field as a Judge of the Court of Appeals, his fel low-citizens of Georgia should show their approval of hia faithful service by casting their ballots for him in the coming primary. He richly deserves promotion, and his election will show that the people of Georgia believe in the enforcement of the law and that they are opposed to the trivial legal technicalities that so often defeat justice in our courts. Judge Broyles, more than any other man in Georgia, stands for these vital principles, and when in addition to all this we remember his generous conduct at the Macon convention two years ago in withdrawing from the Court of Appeals contest alter he had tied with Judge Robt. Bottle in the primary, we are assured that this time the people of Georgia will award him the nomina tion by an overwhelming majority. It will be of interest to our readers to know that Clark Lewis, an old New- nan boy, is actively assisting Judge Broyles in his campaign. Hon. W. C. Wright at Buena Vista. Marion County Patriot. 7th inat. Hon. W. C. Wright, of Newnan, spoke to an interested audience at the court-house in Buena Vista Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock, in the interest of his candidacy for Congress from the Fourth district. Mr. J. O. Smith was elected chair man of the meeting, and Col. Geo. P. Munro, in a short speech, commended the speaker to the audience. Mr. Wright spoke for one hour and ten minutes, reviewing Judge Adam son’s record in CongresB. He gave figures showing that the Judge has re received as salary $107,500, and 20c. a mile traveling expenses, since his first election. He brought smiles to the faces of his hearers by referring to the stand taken by Adamson against Con gressman Moses in 1896—i e., that six years was long enough for anyone to hold office. Mr. Wright is a brilliant speaker and made many friends while here. Indica tions point to a splendid Wright victory on Aug. 19. He spent Wednesday af ternoon and Thursday morning visiting Tazewell, Draneville, Brantley, and other sections of the county.

Woman and Child Drowned at Ford Bowdon, Ga., Aug. 12.— Swollen streams, due to torrential rains such as have seldom before visited this section, washed away two buggies late last night, causing the death of Mrs. Wil liam Moore and her young grandson and nearly proving fatal to three others who were swept away by the waters. Mr. Moore, his wife, their little grandson and another boy, son of a Mr. Crawford, while returning in a buggy from a camp-meeting at Burnell, drove into a small stream known as ’Possum branch, near their home. The vehicle was in the middle of the stream when it was overturned by the force of the current and the four occupants were thrown out. Mr. Moore succeeded in rescuing the Crawford boy, who was caught under the buggy, but his wife and grandson were swept down the stream. It was hours before their dead bodies were recovered. Other parties behind the Moores drove back out of the branch barely in time to escape the same fate. Miss Olive Hearn, of Victory, was nearly drowned Tuesday night when she attempted to cross Garrett creek, which was badly flooded and runnin swiftly.

In the Legislature of 1882-83 Mr. Ray of Coweta, now living in Atlanta, introduced a bill to protect the farmers of Georgia against wholly worthless fertilizers, by permitting them, when the goods were proven worthless, to plead failure of consideration. There was no inspection law then in force to protect them, and they based their hopes on this bill. Judge Harris voted twice against this bill; first to adopt the adverse report of the committee, and then against the bill itself. (See House Journal, 1882, Adjourned Session, Pages 263-264.)
