GOVERNOR DORSEY
VIRTUALLY DECIDES
ON EXTIM SESSION
That Governor Dorsey has prac
tically made up his — mind to call an
extra session of the legislature, and
will fix the date around the twentieth
of January, became known Saturday
at the state capitol.
The United States supreme court’s
decision rendering unenforceble the
tax equalization law in case of a dis
pute between a board of county as
sessors and a property owner, is re
sponsible for the governor’s decision.
It is necessary to amend the law
uefore the tax returns are made for
next year, in the governor’s opinion,
and this requires an extraordinary
session. Tax returns are made and
assessments of property value are
determined in the early spring. The
legislature meets in regular session
i in midsummer.
Comptroller General Wright, Tax
, Commissinoer Fullbright, Attorney
i General Denny and other state offl
! cials who have analyzed the effect of
i the supreme court decision, are all
agreed that the enforcement of the
tax equalization law can be broken
down when the next tax returns are
made.
This would reduce the state’s reve
nue to an extent which cannot be es
timated. It might cut off as much
as a third or even a half of all reve
nue from real estate and personal
property. The result would be a
stoppage of the government, along
some lines, and a heavy curtailment;
along other lines.
All appropriations for 1921 have i
been made. The legislature at the I
1919 session made appropriations for
1920 and 1921, two years in advance,
as is customary. These appropria
tions were based upon estimates of
future revenue to be produced by
the tax equalization law. If the law
should be broken down, naturally
the revenue anticipated for 1921
would not materialize. The appro
priations made for 1921 could not be
paid. Schools would have to close,
colleges suspend. Confederate pen
sioners go unpaid.
The only method of forestalling a
breakdown of the enforcement of
the tax equalization law when tax
returns are made in the early spring
of 1921, so .far as the governor and
the other named officials have been
able to find, is a revision of the law
in the meantime. This, they feel, re
quires an extra session.
State house officials do not believe
the legislature, if called into extra
ordinary session to meet the revenue
emergency created by the supreme
court decision, would fail or refuse
to pass the necessary amendment or
amendments of the law. For the
legislature, they say. to take such
a stand would be equivalent to al
lowing a stoppage or at least a cur
tailment of the revenue required to
pay the appropriations which the
legislature itself has made. The leg
islature which would meet in an ex
tra session would not be the new
legislature elected in November, but
not yet Inducted into office, but the
old or outgoing legislature of 1919-
1920.
Governor Dorsey, it is understood,
is giving consideration now to the
question-whether he will include any
subjects other than revision of the
tax equalization law in his call for
the extra session.
He is being urged by Chancellor
Barrow and trustees of the Univer
sity of Georgia to include the sub
ject of a deficiency appropriation
for the State Normal school at
Athens, which is a branch of the
university. He is being urged also
by President K. G. Matheson and
trustees of the Georgia School of
Technology, to include the subject
of a deficiency appropriation for that
institution.
Also it has been suggested that he
include the subject of a law pro
viding for the registration of wom
en voters. It would be possible to
charge a registration fee, to be paid
into the state treasury, which would
defray the expenses of an extra ses
sion, the governor believes.
In connection with the subject of
taxation and a probable extra ses
sion, Tax Commissioner Fullbright
has taken from the latest reports of
the United States census some inter
esting figures showing the relative
per capita taxation of Georgia and
other states.
These figures show that the aver
age per capita revenue for state pur
poses, in all of the states of the
union, is $6.43.
For the states of Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, gen
erally designated as the South At
lantic states, the average per capita
receipts for state purposes are $3.96.
For the states of Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Alabama and Mississippi, the
average is $3.87 per capita.
The highest per capita state rev
enue in the United States is collected
by the state of Arizona, being $15.02.
The lowest is South Carolina,
which collects $2.51 per capita. The
second lowest is North Carolina,
which collects $2.71 per capita.
“While South Carolina,” said Com
missioner Fullbright, commenting on
the figures, “collects twenty cents
per capita less than Georgia, the
school appropriations of South Caro
lina are less than one-third of the
school appropriations of Georgia, and
the Confederate pension appropria
tions are less than one-fourth of
those in Georgia.
“These figures demonstrate con
clusively that Georgia Is not over
burdened with taxation, so far as
taxation for state purposes is con
cern e d.” .
Former Russian Soldier
Brings Back $ 18,000
In Platium From War
HARRIETTA, Minn., Dec. 11. —“Oh,
it wasn’t such a bad war after all.”
That’s the way Nelson Nolf, of
Harrietta, looks at it anyway.
Nelson was in Russia, a member of
the Polar Bear expedition. He was
attracted by the ore he was con
stantly stubbing his toes on while
hiking about certain parts of the
cold country and he brought home
a handful of it. It has been kick
ing around in the backyard.
Today Nolf is rich —$18,000 richer
than he was a few days ago. His
curiosity caused him t° have some
of the ore assayed and the result
was that it was found to contain
several pounds of platinum.

Liabilities $£.812.70,
Assets Are Fifty Cents
Liabilities of $4,812.70 and assets
of only 50. cents, were claimed in a
voluntary bankruptcy petition filed
in United States court Saturday by
John E. Bowers, an Atlanta contrac
tor. The only property of the appli
cant was one pair of small scales,
the petition stated.
Dr. John L. Smeltzer. Atlanta den
tist, with offices in the Grant build
ing. filed a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy, setting forth liabilities
of $5,849 as against assets of S2OO.
The assets, which consisted of wear

Combination Motor and
Torpedo Boat Launched;
Is Called “Sea Hornet”
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. —A high
powered motor boat, which during
times of peace can be carried on bat
tleships as a service launch, and in
war converted in a few moments
into a deadly torpedo boat, was dem
onstrated here today in the launch
ing of the first vessel of new aux
iliary known as “type A-3 sea hor
net.” The vessel is 'designed to
form an important part of Ameri
ca’s coast defense, and the launch
ing took place in the presence of
more than a hundred regular army
and national guard officers, as well
as representatives of the navy and
the governors of New York and New
Jersey.
The “sea hornet” type was con
ceived during the war and was held
as a navy secret, its operation being
prevented by the armistice. It is a
twin-screw 600-horse power motor
boat, 58 feet long, with a hinge bow
which drops from place. In the bow
is a 21-inch torpedo, carrying in its
war head 600 pounds of high ex
plosive, Two additional torpedoes
are carried as well as six depth
bombs. AVhen in operation as a war
craft the “sea hornet” which carries
a crew'of four men, sinks until but
a little more than one foot of the
huM is above the water line.
The plan of the inventor and those
interested in the invention is to have
the boat operate in squadrons—or
rather “swarms” against enemy craft.
The small size of the craft and its
low visibility would make the possi
bility of one or more of them making
a target of an enemy battleship very
high, especially at night.
The "sea hornet” launched today
was christened by Mrs. W. B. Shearer
wife of the inventor.

FARMERS HOLD
COTTON AND PLAN
RIGID ECONOMY
»
MOULTRIE, Ga., Dec. 12.—The
present cotton holding movement is
the strongest Moultrie has ever
seen.' With, nearly half of the coun
ty’s 1920 production still in the
hands of the growers, the cotton
market here is as quiet as it usually
is in midsummer. Practically no
sales have been made here in more
than a month. Growers are hold
ing firmly to the view that the mar
ket will rally after the holidays and
that the price may again go to twen
ty-five cents.
And in the meantime farmers are
making preparations to practice di
versification on their places on the
biggest scale known since 1915.
Feed crops and live stock are to be
given the right of way. Some cot
ton will be planted, of course, but
the acreage will be the smallest ever

are also going to go slow in buying
fertilizer, it is said, and they hope
to produce the cheapest crop they

Mystery Shrouds
Prolonged Sleep
Os Texas Woman
BOSTON, Dec. 11. —While Mrs.
Florence Stevenson, Port Arthur,
Tex., lay in a hospital here tonight
asleep unnaturally under some mys
terious influence, police were inves
tigating the circumstances under
which she and her daughter, Ruth,
18, were found unconscious in their
Pullman compartment aboard, a train
which arrived here today.
The woman, it was said, had been
asleep 24 hours before she was re
moved from the train and it was be
lieved her condition was critical.
The daughter, after being treated,
was able to go to the home of a
cousin.
The girl said she believed her
mother had been drugged by a man
discharged from her employment.
She said her mother had hired a
private detective to accompany them
east from Port Arthur, but that her
mother had been forced to discharge
him for insolence. She said the man
i efused to leave the train when dis
charged and she believed he had in
some way drugged her mother.
She was unable to explain how
the drug had been administered.

New York Has Heart
If These Incidents
i Count for Anything
BY HERBERT COREY
NEW YORK.—Every one talks of
New’ York as the Heartless City, but
shucks! It has just as much charity
and loving-kindness as any other
town: Its trouble is that it has the
watch-your-step habit. It goes along
with its head down talking .to itself,
w’ith its eyes on the heels of the man
ahead and its ears pinned back lis
tening for an auto horn. AVhen it
has time to stop New York is always
kind.
Up on Fifth avenue Holden’s dog,
cat and bird shop has been a fixture
ever since it was removed from the
Bowery, where it first opened its
doors about the time old Peter
Stuyvesant pervaded those parts.
The other night the current Holden
was awakened by a telephone call.
“I’ve had a dickens of a time get
ting your phone,” said a fretful
voice. “Exchange wouldn’t give it
to me and I finally had to ask the
clerk at the Waldorf. He happened
to know you.”
“And do I know you?” asked Mr.
Holden, coldly.
“No,” said thp voice on the wire.
“But I wanted to tell you that one of
your monkeys has got loose and is
pulling out the tailfeathers of all
your parrots.”
There was a kind acf, if you please.
Holden got to his shop to find his
stock of parrots in a state of extreme
nervous exhaustion, though most of
their tails were safe. The same day
an old colored washerwoman fainted
in a market on 125th street. A man
she had never seen before or heard
of since put her into as taxicab, took
her to her home, and aided her up
the four flights of stairs. There isn’t
a legitimate beggar on the city’s
streets. Every professional is plain
panhandler, for any man or woman
in need has a choice of a dozen insti
tutions in which a bed, feed, and
w’ork can be obtained. A lit-tle girl
fainted in an uptown theatrical agen
cy the other day. Underfed and
overfrightened, for the busy, self
centered, worried people she had met
had not wasted a second glance on
her and nothing is more terrifying
than utter loneliness.
In ten minutes after her story was
made known enough money had been
collected to pay her "few bills nd
provide her with half a dozen square
meals. Then some one found a job
for her in a little rt>ad company, al
though she had had no experience
whatever. All agreed that was bet
ter than sending her home.
New York isn’t heartless by a jug
ful. is only hurried.
Big Profits Charged
To Farm Implement
Men by Trade Board
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Corre
spondence between manufacturers of
agricultural implements intended to
show price fixing agreements has
been made public by the federal
trade commission as a part of its
special report to congress yesterday
recommending legal proceedings
against the firms. The commissios
alleged that through associations
and meetings, manufacturers “fixed
prices higher than increased cost of
raw materials and labor,” through
1917-1918, and maintained them dur
ing 1919.
The commission charged in its re
port that the National Implement
and association combined
with a southern association of
manufacturers in the same line to
affect prices, and produced what it
represented to be correspondence
between E. F. Parsonage, president
of a department of the national as
sociation, and D. M. F. Weeks,
sales manager of the Studebaker
corporation.
DISARMAMENT IDEA
PRESENTED LEAGUE
HAS THREE PHASES
GENEVA, Dec. 11.—(By the As
sociated Press.) —Disarmament of
the world must be a slow and gradu
al process, is the decision reached by
the League of Nations assembly com
rhission which has been deliberating
on the question more than three
weeks. The opinions of leading mem
bers of the commission are that nei
ther the political situation nor pub
lic opinion is yet ready for full real
ization of that object.
In fact, even beginning the reduc
tion of armaments is not consider
ed possible by the commission at
the present time. Accordingly, the
program which will be presented
to the assembly, is to proceed in
three stages. The first involves an
agreement between the powers to
make no further increase in arma
ment. The second will provide for
a gradual reduction on a basis which
will be laid down by the armament
commission of the council of the
league. The third will provide for
general and complete disarmament
when it may be found that the situ
ation permits it.
Viscount Ishii has improved the
occasion to give notice that Japan
cannot reduce her armament so
long as the United States increases
hers. One conspicuous fact to date
is the necessity of propaganda to
prepare the world for a radical so
lution of the question.
The covenant of the league again
gave rise to a long and confused
debate in the assembly this after
noon. The question was how to
choose the four elected members of
the council. The committee, which
decided the most important point
by only one majority after a long
and difficult discussion, proposed
that the terms of these members be
limited to two years and that
members shall be eligible for
re-election for two years more, then
ineligible for re-election during the
succeeding four years. This provi
sion is intended to facilitate access
to the council to all members of the
league. Another provision which was
more stoutly contested apportioned
the members among the different
continents, Europe and the Americas
getting three and Asia one. This
provision is held to be contrary to
the covenant, which provides that
the assembly shall "freely” choose
the members of the council, while
apportionment would tie the hands
of the next assembly. ,
The Tacna and Arica case, sub
mitted to the assembly at the begin
ning of its session, soon reached
an acute stage, involving Chile and
Bolivia in a serious dispute. Chile
renewed her opposition to the as
sembly hearing the case, while Bo
livia insisted upon an immediate in
quiry. The Chilean delegates threat
en drastic action in the event that
the steering committee decides to
hear the case in the present assem
bly and the withdrawal of either
country is considered a possibility.
Dr. Juan Carlos Blanco, of Uru
guay, was elected a vice president of
the assembly at this afternoon’s ses
sion. He was chosen in place of
Honorio Pueyrredon, head of the Ar
gentine delegation, which withdrew
from the assembly early this week.
Soldiers Foiled in
Attempt to Release
Comrade From Jail
COLUMBUS, Ga„ Dec. 11.—Prompt
action on the part of Colonel Lister,
commandant at Camp Benning, last
night prevented serious trouble
which threatened to develop into a
riot.
Chief Moore, of the Columbus po
lice department, received a telephone
message at 6 o’clock to the effect that
fifty armed soldiers were en route to
Columbus to get one of their com
rades out of the county jail. The
chief marshaled all his forces for
action, placing twenty-five officers in
the vicinity of the jail, and asking
for the aid of the local military
police. Under Sergeant McFeley,
eighteen men were placed at the dis
posal of Chief Moore and all were or
dered to be in readiness for action.
Meantime Colonel Lister, Major
Rumbo and Lieutenant Compton over
took the soldiers, held up the party
and demanded an explanation. The
men readily admitted their mission
and all were ordered back to camp.
Some thirty of the number were
found to be armed, it was stated.
They quietly submitted to the com
mands of the officers and all were
placed in the barracks.
Military authorities say thoy will
be given attention at the proper time.
They did not expect any further
trouble. Just who the men were aft
er was not stated, but it is believed
to have been one of the three men
sentenced for the theft of an auto
mobile two days ago. All is quiet
today.
Luxury Expenditures
300 Pct. in Excess of
That for Education
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 11.—Ex
penditures in the United States last
year for luxuries, approximately $5,-
(•00,000,600, was more than 300 per
cent in excess of the expenditures
for education, P. P. Claxton, United
States commissioner of education,
told a conference here today of edu
cators and state officials from six
southern states.
For tobacco alone, Mr. Claxton as
serted, the expenditure last year
was over a billion dollars more than
that spent for education.
“If we can raise the standards of
the persons to whom we intrust the
training of our children through cur

Mr. Claxton declared, “then we
should ‘Hooverize’ our cigars, ciga
rettes, snuff and chewing tobacco.”
The ideal school year is 180 days,
Mr. Claxton said, while the average
in the United States is 162. He urged
that at least 4 per cent of govern
ment revenues be spent for educa
tion. The present expenditure, he
said, was 1 3-4 per cent.

Knitting Official Looks
For Business Boom
With Coming Year
That early in the new year there
will be a marked improvement in all
lines of business was the prediction
made Saturday by Charles R. White,
general sales manager of the Rox
ford knitting mills, of Philadelphia.
Mr. White was in Atlanta on the last
leg of a journey which has taken
him to the principal cities from New
York through the west to the Pa
cific coast and back through the
southern states.
Mr. White said that large num
bers of buyers throughout the coun
try had indicated their purposes to
be in the market for stocks early in
the year. He said that the surplus
of manufactured products occasion
ed by an over-anticipated demand
was being rapidly absorbed and that
following the placing of orders in
January and February many of the
mills which had curtailed produc
tion will begin an increased output
and this will necessarily result in
better prices for raw materials.
Mr. White does not expect that the
demand will be as heavy as it was
during the war, but he anticipates
that business will rapidly assume a
stable basis and that the readjust
ment period will soon be over.
He said that on his trip he had
made a careful survey of business
conditions in all lines; that he is
firmly of the opinion that the bottom
has about been reached in low prices,
and that 1921 would prove a satis
factory business year.

More Hospitals for
Former Soldiers Are
Urged in U.S. Report
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Addi
tional hospital facilities for the
treatment of former service men and
women and the appointment of an
administrative head for the three
major agencies involved in rehabili
tation work are recommended by Dr.
Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general
of the public health service, in his
annual report sent today to congress
by the treasury department. Dr.
Cumming says the war risk insur
ance bureau, the federal board for
vocational education and the public
health service should operate under
an administrative head “as co-ordi
nate and independent burdens in
close co-operation.”
Emphasizing the need for addi
tional hospital facilities. Dr. Cum
ming points out that 20.000 patients
were recivins: hospital care from
the public health service on last
July 1 as compared with 2,000 in
October, 1919, and urges that con
gress make available funds for new
construction.
“In adidtion to increasing exist
ing facilities bv the construction of
new hospitals,” said the surgeon
general, “it is desired to bri.ig to
the attention of congress the dilap
idated and unsatisfactory condition
of many of the hospitals now owned
and operated by the public health
service. It is necessary that these
institutions be placed fn first-class
condition. All of the marine hos
pitals at the present time, with but
few exceptions, are of antiquated
construction and badly in need of
repair.
“The public health service reiter
ates its firm belief that an ade
quate hospital construction program
should be undertaken bv the na
tional government for the care of
ex-service men and women. It is
not clear how this responsibility
can be adequately met in any other
way. It is repeated that the spe
cial needs to be met are those of
ex-service men and women suffering
from tuberculosis and mental disor
ders. These groups of patients will
require treatment for long periods
of time, and their demand is for
care and treatment in government
institutions.”

“It may sound unreasonable, and
you may believe it or not, but after
taking four bottles of Tanlac I gain
ed forty pounds,” recently said J. H.

spected farmer whose address is

“I was pretty near knocked out
last summer by an attack of ma
laria, and even after I got out of bed >
I kept losing weight and strength.
For two months I wasn’t able to hit
a lick of work on my place and I
was beginning to think I was down
and out for good.
“I began io take Tanlac just in
the nick of time, for I couldn’t have
held out much longer without help
of some sort. I was down to 1411
pounds, but this medicine took hold
of me in such away that in forty
days exactly I had gone up to 188
pounds, which is just my right
weight, and I quit taking Tanlac be
cause it had done, everything I need
ed.
“I hadn’t been taking the medicine
a week before I was able to go to
work, and now I can plow all day.
I eat anything I want, sleep like a
log and in the morning roll out of
bed feeling as fit and fine as I ever
did in my life. 1 don’t need any
medicine myself, but I came to Win-,
ston just to get a bottle for my wife, J
who is complaining of being run
down.
“I never believed a medicine could
do for anybody what Tanlac did for
me, and I’m going to do my best to
spread the news that there is one
medicine that does all they say it
will do ”
