Galloway and His Wife Are
Glad He Didn't Succeed in
Killing Himself.
C. G. Galloway, a foreman employed
by the Willingham Lumber Company,
is glad today he did a poor job when
he rut his throat and stabbed himself
ove; the heart yesterday In a boarding
house at 337 East Hunter street. Mrs.
Galloway, the young wife, is equally
happy
The husband and wife at Grady hos
pital today forgot all of their matrimo
nial differences. It was his wife’s re
fusal to live with him that caused Gal
loway's fit nf despondency.
"My. I thought I h>.d lot him when
I heard about his cutting his throat
and stabbing himself." said Mrs. Gal
loway, as she leaned over the cot where
her wounded husband lay. "But he's
going to get well now, and is not going
to do this any more."
"No. indeed; I'm done now," declared
Galloway.
Galloway said he had worried his
Wife so much that she "ran him away
from home." He said he went back'to
the home 169 Kirkwood avenue, yes
terday, but that his wife would not lis
ten to him. He then determined to kill
himself, going to the Hunter street
boarding house.
"I fully intended to kill myself with
gag." he said, "but I found there was
no gas in my room I obtained a. razor
and slashed my throat. I realized this
slash would not kill me, and. as it hurt
so, I didn't have the nerve to cut iny
throat again. I then pulled nut my
knife and jabbed It In my side, think
ing to hit the heart. This hurt, too, so
badly that 1 wouldn't try the knife
again. I'm glad now 1 didn't make
good."

The sleepiest bell hop in the Kimball

down the stairs. The chairs were al!
filled and the lobby began to look like

The assembly begins tomorrow to last
50 jla vs. not including* Sundays, holi
days or dies non. which means a day
which "doesn't count.”
The report that the legislature would
convene, call the roll and adjourn over
until next week on account of the Bal
timore convention is discredited by of
fl dale of the two houses and those
early arrivals .who came prepared to
start, business.
“There are not half a legisla
tors in Baltimore, anyway, even in
cluding J. Randolph Anderson," said
one of the house officers. "There's no
reason why we should adjourn. We
all admit that Baltimore has a three
ring circus compared to our sideshow,
hut we're going to keep open all the
week if we don’t take tn a cent, as the
country storekeeper remarked the day
everybody left for the footwashing. We
likely will pass some dozen bills before
Baltimore turns out.”
Speaker Holder to
Stick to His Desk.
Speaker John N. Holder Is here and
likely to stick right at his desk, in spite
nf the fact that he's running for con
gress from his home district and would
like to be in the fray. But it wmpd
make pretty good argument to say the
speaker had deserted bls post to run for
office, and John Holder Is wise. Be
sides. he ran see most of the big guns
in his district right here, for they'll all

to gossip in hotel lobbies.
Opponents of the measure assort that
the bill will be "sidetracked" and the
house will never reach a vote on it
Its opponents are not desirous of go
ing on record against Its passage, while
its friends, except a few enthusiasts, do
not seem bent on making it an issue.
"Even should the bill pass the house
It has a small chance in the senate.”
said one member. "And Joe Brown
will veto it even if it passes both
houses. He promised last year to sign
no bill which would change the pres
ent status of the. prohibition law- un
less the measure should first be sub
mitted to a vote of the people.
"The Tippins bill would have to be
amended to provide a referendum, and
not be done and the election
held before the close of this session.”
It is not expected that any other pro
hibition legislation wilt be given much
consideration this 1 summer. There are
a number of local bills to prohibit the
sale of near-beer in certain counties,
and these will probably be passed with
out serious opposition when backed by
their local delegations.
There Isn't much excitement sched
uled this session. There are no officers
to elect, for the president of the senate,
the speaker of the house and all other
officials were elected last year and hold
over through this summer. There may
be a few vacancies to be filled on ac
count of deaths or resignations, and a
few now members to be sworn in for
the same cause. There will be the
usual flood of new bills on the first day,
ranging from an act to amend an act.
regulating a foot bridge across Goose
creek to an act to prohibit running trol
ley ears on Sundays. But all the mem
bers have been seasoned by a year’s
experience and fewer “freak" bills are
expected than are the rule at first ses
sions.
Capital Bill
Likely to Sleep.
Nearly every big question brought up
last year has been left over for consid
eration at this session, but they are not
arousing the enthusiasm which followed
their introduction. Bibb county still has
its bill to move the capital from Atlan
ta to .Macon, and the selection of a new
site for the governor's mansion and the
sale of the old property still is pend
ing. There are several bills providing
new counties, which means more coun
ty seats and more county jobs.
A change in the present law, to make
the state game warden elective by the
people instead of having that official
appointed by the governor, will come
up for passage and will probably be
passed, according to friends of the bill.
Representative Wilson, of Gwinnett,
one of the veterans of the house, is in
towrj for the session. Mr. Wilson is al
ways one of the first to arrive in At
lanta. first in his seat and the last to
leave. He is considered as much a fix
ture in the house as the speaker's
stand.
' I've got one hill which I want to sec
passed." he said today. “It provides
for the Australian ballot system, a
secret vote, and it gives every party a
•chance to share in the choice of elee-,
tion officials and get a square deal.
"I'm referring to regular official state
elections, of course. Yes; I know the
primary Is the main thing now. but it
won't always be. When we really get
rid of the negro vote, as we shall, we
won't need so many primaries."

ANSLEV MS ON
CITY POLITICIANS
Calls on Chamber of Commerce
To Put Business Men’s
Ticket in the Field.
Edwin p, Ansley., prominent real es
tate man. in a letter to the Chamber
of Commerce made public today, calls
upon the citizens of Atlanta to revolt
against “the politicians” and put a
Business Men’s Ticket in the field at
the city election this year. Mr. Ansley
declares that the city is In the grasp of
politicians who run it for their own
benefit and violate all their pledges of
public Improvement.
He charges that there is today an
epidemic of typhoid fever in Atlanta,
and lays the fault upon the open sew
ers. Never before,in the history we.e
the streets in such frightful condition
as at present.
Urges Business
Men to Revolt.
"What the city needs,” he goes on,
"is immediate relief from these open
sewers, but it will take a meeting of
the progressive business men of At
lanta, acting either through the Cham
ber of Commerce or otherwise, to do it.
Nearly half a million dollars is being
spent this year in street work and yet
the streets are In such condtion that
the health of the city is shamefully
neglected.
"Let the Chamber of Commerce or
the business men get together and se
lect a ticket for council and officers to
be elected this year, composed of good
business men, who will run the city
government on a business basis. Let
us have a competent engineer to get
away from the makeshift system we
have been following for years ’’
Denounces Neglect
Os City Officials.
"Let us remember that.we are build
ing not only for today, but For tomor
row, and that what is sufficient today
will be holly inadequate a few years
hence. The public works department is
the one which is suffering most and
needs th? most attention.”
Mr. Ansley scathingly denounces the
alleged neglect of the city government
in such cases as rhe coagulation basin,
th? fallen Jackson street bridge, the
inadequate school houses and the
Spring street grade.

LDGAL TAX FDD
SCHOOLSURGED
Legislature Asked for Measure
Which Will Bring Reforms in
Educational System;
That the state legislature should rec
ognize the necessity of pla-eing the
common schools on a basis of locaj
taxation, so that teachers’ salaries can
be paid promptly, is one of the most
important recommendations made to
the lawmakers by School Superin
tendent M. L. Brittain in his annual re
port.
Georgia's chief difficulty, so the su
perintendent maintains, Jias been its
inability to pay teachers promptly—a
difficulty due largely to the dependency
of the common schools upon the state
treasury. No more than twenty coun
ties in the state levy a local tax for
the maintenance of schools, and some
counties draw more money from the
state for schools alone than is paid in
general taxes.
Great Reforms Needed.
State statistics show’, the report says,
that counties in which the local tax
system exists maintain the most effi-’
cient schools. The local tax system is
the system used in the majority of
states and »in the states that have the
best schools.
Mr. Brittain urges less rigid restric
tions be placed about the matter of cer
tification of teachers, particularly as it
may concern high school and super
vising teachers. The stat*, he believes,
should generally recognize licenses and
certificates from other states coming up
to the approved standard. He insists
upon a codification of all school laws.
In discussing the matter of compul
sory education, Mr. Brittain maintains
that other and greater school reforms
are needed in Georgia before its schools
will be In condition to permit of the
passage of a rigid compulsory educa
tion law. No state, he says, with con
ditions similar to those found in Geor
gia has been successful with a compul
sory law.
