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.

Itc. $25 1 000~VERDT’CT~ 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.

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.
