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. New Advertisements. 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- Special Piano Bargain Slightly used instrument, in good condition.

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. o- self, nil tho while praising its. spien- v >M e T Da h W ing /^T sa j d dor.
