GOVERNOR PLANNING
TO AID SCHOOLS
Contrary to general expectations,
Governor Hoke Smith did not outline
hli plan for raising *600,000 for agri
cultural and technical education In
Georgia In his speech In Calhoun Wed
nesday. -
It Is sdld that he has evolved In his
own mind a plan for accomplishing this
object, and It teas his Intention and
purpose to elaborate on it In Calhoun.
But after due reflection he decided to
first ask for suggestions along this line
from legislators and others, thus seeing
how much In harmony his own Ideas
are with others.
One story Is to the effect that Gov
ernor Smith will advocate an Income
tax very strongly. His Idea, It Is said.
Is to tax Incomes of *2,000 and over 2
per cent per annum.
That he Is a believer In an Income tax'
to some degree Is known, as he strongly
urged the passage of the 1 per cent In
come tax on railroads In the last gen
eral assembly. Th% plan carried In the
house, but failed In the senate.
That Governor Smith Is giving much
careful thought to the subject of In
creasing the revenues to be applied to
general educational purposes Is known.
He Is seeking all the Information and
advice he can secure along this line. His
Interest In the common and agricultural
schools Is very deep and genuine.

AGAINST DOCTORS
The temporary suspension of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company will not
seriously affect the North Georgia
Electric Company.
So. stated Col. H. H. Dean, chief
counsel for the company which pro
poses to enter Into competition with
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany for the furnishing^ of electric
light* to the citizens of Atlanta.
"The Knickerbocker Trust Compa
ny,” he stated, “is the trustee of the
bondholders of the company, it is true,
but this will have no bearing on our
financial status. It is true also that
we owe the Knickerbocker some money,
but most of this Is underwritten, and
when this is taken off we owe the com
pany probably not more than $50,000.
“Just what .effect the suspension of
the company will have on this debt, I
am not prepared to say. If the com
pany owed us and It failed,. then It
would be a blow to the North Georgia.
But the Knickerbocker’s failure can
not affect our debt, except possibly—
but hardly probably—to make us pay
it sooner, which we can do easily.
“Most of the bonds of the company
are In the hands of individuals, and
the Knickerbocker, by no means, can
be called the financial backer of our
concern. Of course. If this suspension
should precipitate a panic of long du
ration it might seriously affect ns, a
It would all other similar corporations.
“The company Is In splendid shape.
Our assets are between 11,000,000 and
$1,500,000, and our liabilities do not ex
ceed $760,000. We have six months
yet In which to complete our plant and
to furnish lights to the people of At
lanta, and we will be doing the work
by that time easily.”
The North Georgia Electric Com-
my has met many obstacles since it
■gan work, but. despjte them all.
seems to be still moving along, and,
from the statement of Colonel Dean,
has fairly smooth sailing from now on.

Cumberland Island Experts
Come to See the City
of Atlanta.
Social Item. Charts* Trimmings and
William Alberty. two distinguished
residents of Cumberland Inland, well
known and universally popular over
the state, are the gueeta for several
days of Mayor W. R. Joyner and of
Chief W. B. Cummings, of the Atlanta
Are department.
The fact that Trimmings and
berty are both negroes doea not keep
them from being distinguished any
more than It keeps them from being
the guesta of such distinguished city
officials as the mayor and the chief of
the Are department.
They are distinguished flshermen,
says Mayor Joyner, and they are the
prince of entertainers.
"These negroes,” stated the mayor,
“have been flshermen at Cumberland
Island since three years after the war.
They have never left the Island except
once or twice, when they came to At
lanta Were It not for them, I would
not go to Cumberland Island, and 1
have been going nearly every year
since I can remember.
"They always flsh with me and they
are about the best negroes I know.
I told them whenever they cams to
Atlanta I would be ready to receive
them. Here they are In my office and
I don't mind telling anybody I am
proud to have them."
The mayor gave the negroee *
to the fair and everything therein and
then sent them to his home, where
they may enjoy city cooking.
My wife will be tickled to death to
see these negroes," he stated, "
•he knows them quite as wsll as
do and wc are both very fond of them,
As long as they are here, they can
eat at my house with the servant*
and we are glad to have them. You
notice they came up on Atlanta Day,
e the negroes will bs the guests
at menls of the mayor, they will have
apartments at the Are department
Chief Cummings having provided them
suitable places to spend the nights.
Trimmings and Alberty were over
come by the hospitality of the mayor
and the chief of the Are department,
and one could almost detect a blush
suffusing their chocolate-hued count*'
nances as they smiled giddily and bash
.fully rubbed their hand* In the office
of Atlanta’* chief executive Wednes
day morning, while Henry, the mayor's
negro office boy and all-round utility
man, looked on with undisguised envy,
