jolly revelers there assembled. Being
Mr. Olay's homo town, the gueata prob
ably liccmod this a graceful nnd harm-
thing to do. It waa hftVmloss all
right, because there is not the least like
lihood that anything will oomc of it.
Georgia has made some mistakes in the
past In choosing men for this high of
fice, but it is not likely to indorse so
absurd a proposal as that made at the
Marietta bnrboeuo the other day.
Solons Staggered by Problem of
Statens Finances.
Confronted with ..the problem of do
vising ways to meot up existing doflcit of
'nearly three million dollars in the State’s
revenues, nnd providing means for rais
ing money in suffleipnt, amount to an
swor tho State’s actuql needs tho coming
yonr, the Legislature has been puzzling
nnd pothering over slpeo tho session bo-
gan over what is recognized ns the most
sorious situation with which that body
has had to doal in many yoars. What
is said to bo an administration measure
—that is, a moasuro 'urged by Qqv.
Hardwick in a special messuge—is a
bill providing for a graduated income
tax In lieu of the present ail valorem
method of taxation. The bill hus been
roportod favorably by the House Com
mittee on Appropriations and Ways' and
Means, but whoa the saniu measure came
before tho Senate committee Mondny it
mot with stormy opposition—especially
that provision which would tax corpora
tions both on income and output. Fail
ure to fix a limitation to tho tax on in
comes was nnother ground of objection
urged by ropresontiitivos of some of the
loading corporations, tho point being
. made that if tl;o measure passed in the
shnpo proposed it would prove ilot only
burdensome, but discriminatory. A sales
tax on soft drinks nnd guuolino is like
wise provided in tho bill, which Ims
-raised a storm of protest throughout tho
State. In fact,- tho substitution of a
graduated Incomo tax for tho ail
valorem method of taxation docs not
scum to bo popular with anybody except
Gov.’ Hardwick nnd State Tax Commis
sioner Fullbrlght, Tho incomo tnx pro"
(posal, if tho bill should pass in Hb preH-
ont form, would have to bo submitted
to the pooplo for ratification, inasmuch
as it proposes an nmomlinont to the Con
stitution. This would give the pooplo
of the State a elinnco to kill it, which
they may bo Biifoly counted upon to do.
The main objection to an unrestricted
graduated incomo tnx is the apprehen
sion that tho toudoiiey would bo to
“graduate” it. steadily upward—which
would undoubtedly be the case if tho
Legislature continued tho foolish policy
of appropriating money year after year
in -excess of tho State's estimated in
come. Other plans for raising needed
, revenue linve boon proposed, but up to
this time tho members of tho two
'branches of the Assembly are far from
agreement. It la rumored that Gov.
Hardwick will call an oxtrn session of
tho Legislature in tho event tho admin
istration 1)111 now poadiag fails of pass
age, nnd this seems inevitable^
THE SOUTH’S HALLOWED ANNI
VERSARY.
Savannah Press.
It Is evident that the women who
organized Memorial Day in the South
nnd their descendants who have taken if
up and who linvo continued the obBorv
mice of the day, arc not going to favor
the consolidation of the Nntionul Deco
ration Day and the Confederate Memo
rial Dny.
A bill has beoii introduced in the
Georgia Legislature to combine tho two
dates, and to mnko May 110 the official
ouo in this State.
As a practical matter Mny 30 is loo
late for flowers in the South, although
It doubtless suits the Northern climate,
where flowors come at least thirty days
later. That date,'which wus formerly
called National Decoration Day, is pe
culiarly 1 Identified with the Northern
anniversary, while April 20 is especially
date for honoring the Confederate
dead. It is true that May 30 has taken
on newer significance since the Spnnish-
Americnn war and the European war.
Among tho victims of that war are thou
sands of Southern boys who fought un
der the Stars and Stripes, and the bit
terness of a former decade has passed
nwny.
But, without its bitterness and without
its political aspect, Memorial Day in
April should be preserved distinctly as
a memento to the soldiers of the South
who mado the supreme sncrifice, and who
followed tho light ns God gave them
to see the light. They kept the faith
of their fathers ns they had been led
to regard it. So, living and dying, they
are entitled tp nt least ohe day sot
apart in consecration of their courage
nnd fnitli.
Two more now eipinty bills havo been
introduced—one to cron to Poaoh county,
with Fort Valley ns tho county-site, and.
tho other to bo known ns Gomor county,
with Mldvillo ns the capital. Goorgia
lias already more couiitios than any other
St-ato in tho union, and it is to bo hoped
-tho Legislature will show its good senao
by defeating both measures.
i In n special message Tuesday Gov.
Hardwick urged tho passage of a bill
providing for biennial instond of annual
sessions of the Legislature. It is n good
suggestion, but nothing wi)l come of it,
Annual sessions aro popular with our
’.legislators, whothor tho people want
'them or not.
A. resolution to investigate tho activ
ities of lobbyists who have boon busy
around tho cnpitol corridors at each re
curring session of tho General Assembly
for scvoral years paWt wob defeated,
strange to relate. Tho lobbyists are
there all right, and on tho job day and
night, if reports bo truo.
A bill to legalize tho practical of chi-
ropraotlo in.the State find to officially
Tocognizo the profession passed tho
House and Senate this weok—tho House
voting 128 to 19 in favor of tho meas
ure and tho Senate 37 to 2. The bill
- provides for a board of exnmiuers, which
-will pass upon all applications for license
to practice in Georgia. Under tho terms
•of the bill applicants must have been
pleted three terms of six months each
in some accredited institution where
chiropractic is taught, and must havo
been a resident of the State one year,
Only fourteen days of tho session re
main, yet less than' half a dozen mens
urea of importuned have been enacted
into law. .
The members of tho upper branch of
the General Assembly were entertained
by the citizens of Marietta with a bar
becue one day last week. It was given
in honor of Hon. Herbert Clay,, presi
dent of the State Senate, and according
Hon. Herbert Clay of Mnrletta,
Judge Geo. H. Howard of Columbus,
and Clms. S. Barrett of Union. City, are
being talked of for the Governorship
next yoar, All are said to be close
friends of Gov. Hardwick, and this fur
niahes some bnBls for tho belief that the
latter will not be n candidate for re-
election nt the oxplratlon of liis present
term.
A SHORT COTTON CROP.
Savannah Press.
The small cotton crop which the Gov
ernment forecasts for this season mny
be a blessing to tho South, after all.
It will not enable us to sell as much
cotton ns wo have sold in the past,,
but if the crop is short the price may
make up the difference between quantity
and value. A cotton crop of less than
eight and a half million bales is not
going very far toward supplying the
needs of the, world under normal condi
tions. But it must be remembered that
a crop of much larger proportions, raised
last season, has not been disposed of,
Tho farmers have some of it, the fac
tors have some, the warehouses are load
oil, nnd foreign shippers are supplied
with a good deal of the staple that
Bhoiilil have been in Europe by this time.
Wo have yet to find a market for the
cotton raised last year, and the price
at which it now holds is not high enough
to encourage the planting of very heavy
crops until this surpluB is moved. Small
acreage and tho boll weevil may combine
with a heavy European demand next fall
to bring cotton back to its rightful place
in the world, The present prices are ar
tificially low. Cotton is worth more than
it is now quoted on the exchanges. If
wo can get the markets of Europe open
to us we will soon find that out.
Origin of Word “Doll” Obscure.
The origin of the word “doll" Is
obscure, but the common explanation
frequently given that the word Is an
abbreviation of “Idoll” or “Idol," Is
said by the best authorities to be cer
tainly wrong. It Is thought probable
that the word Is derived from Doll
or Dolly, diminutives of the woman’s
name, "Dorothy," which In Greek sig
nifies the gift of God; hence the Idea
of a gift to a child for a plaything.
o
Loved Milliner's Flower*.
It Is a custom of the Alaskan In
dians to deposit on the grave of a
friend some of the things the man or
woman had loved best In life. On one
grave a milliner In Ketchlcan, Alaska,
recognized a long wreath of flowers
as having been purchased at her shop.
Each grave Is covered over with a
floor, roof and balustrade In such man
ner as to resemble at a distance a lit
tle white house.

BEAUTIFUL BUDS.
A child, a bountiful bud, dies nnd
the Bilent city and wo look into tho
llvofl near her mourn for weeks, some
times oven doubting tho goodness of the
Creator.
, And when tho little one is resting in
tiio silent city and we look into tho
cheerless eyes of mother, father, sister
or brother, a tightness grips our hearts.
Long ago there lived a king who
lovod beautiful (lowers. He kept a skill
ed gardener, who knew his work and
lovod it. Tho gardener was an old man,
who cared for tho plant’s with a deep
affection, and each dny carried to his
sovereign the choicest flower of tho gar
den, By dint of much work and care
he had developed a plant of supor-ele-
grineo. One moVning ns he approached
this plnnt he saw a bud preparing to
opon. Chuckling with joy, he impa
tiently waited for it to unfold, when he
would present It to the king. Noxt
morning, imagine his griof when ho made
tho discovery that the benutiful bud had
been out. Frantically ho called his help
ers and necused them of neglect—that
they had allowed this particular flower
to bo pilfered. Then one of the work
ers told him that tho king, while walk
ing through tho garden, snw the bud,
admired -it, and had it cut for hiin-

USUALLY THE CASE.
Telfair Enterprise.
We road in u neighboring exchange
recently where the son of a highly-
respected famil Imd been arrested for
embezzlement. He afterward confessed
to taking the money of his employer to
buy finer presents for his sweetheart
than tho other young men bought theirs,
and in detailing the life of the lad the
paper said:
“Ho lmd since childhood been pam
pered by his parents, and his every -wish
gratified. ’ ’
This is a case in which every parent
shopld be interested—especially those
who have growing children. It is hard
to refuse them the tilings they want as
they approach manhood or womanhood,
and yet there is not a parent in this
broad land who does not know that such
indulgence creates in the boy or girl a
solfishness that will cause them trouble
later in life. Self-sacrifieing, learning
to do without nnd be eontented, is the
best habit that can be instilled into the
young. Giving them everything they
ask for only means that when they reach
the point where something is refused
them they will get it by some means,
be those means fair or foul.
Nothing strengthens one more than
having the ability to do without many
things we’d like to have. Nothing spoils
one more quickly than to get that which
is wanted without effort or exertioii.
Honestly earned rewards are the only
kind worth having, and when the grow
ing boy or girl is made to realize this,
it will save many heartaches for both
themselves and their parents.

easier to bear.
