Paint is your great rejuve

all things wood or iron. With
in reasonable limits the more
you paint the more you save,
providing, of course, that you
use good paints. Poor paint
is month’ thrown away twice—
the money you pay for the
paint and the cost of putting
it on.
Paint wisely.

to 22 Cents. Steaks Go at
22 to 25 Cents.
Beef went up one eent per pound in
Atlanta today and reached the highest
price of the year. Local dealers are
selling it to consumers now at from
20 cents to 25 cents per pound. Roasts
bring 20 to 22 cents and steaks from 22

Tile raise followed an even greater
increase in the price In effect at New
York yesterday, when 2 cents was add
ed to tile already high cost.
Atlantans have a general reduction
in the price of vegetables and fruits,
however, which will balance the cost
of the meat. Tomatoes have dropped
from 20 cents per dozen to 10 cents;
peaches have fallen from 25 cents per
basket to 10 cents, and other changes
to correspond have been made in the
price of home grown vegetables.
Eggs are going from 17 cents to as
high as 25 cents, though the majority of
the trade calls for them below the 20-
cent price. Snap means, cantaloupes
and fruits generally remain at about
last week's quotations.

BILLMINERFREE;
CRIMINAL LAXITY
Most Notorious Convict Es
capes From Prison With Two
Dangerous Pals.
Bill Miner, most famous convict In
the Georgia penitentiary, escaped once
more from the state prison farm near
Milledgeville and today is at large with
officers throughout middle Georgia
hunting him Miner took with him W.
J. Widencamp, serving a life sentence
for a killing in Tattnall county, and W.
M Wiggins, sent up for a year from
Tattnall for carrying a pistol. Miner,
or George Anderson, as he calls him
self was serving 20 years for holding
up and robbing a. Southern railway
passenger train in Hall county, be
tween Gainesville and Toccoa, early in
1911.
Chairman Puts
Blame on Guards.
Chairman R. E. Davison, of the
state prison commiseion. blames the
escape of Minor and the two other
convicts to criminal carelessness of
Charles Jenkins, night guard, and Sto
vall. night floor walker.
"Had these two men been doing
their duty," said Chairman Davidson,
“it appears to me that it would have
been absolutely impossible for these
men to have gotten away; particularly
'Bill' Miner, who was chained to a con
crete post in the center row of cots
and within .about twenty feet of Jen
kins. The fact that the convicts forced
their way through Iron bats three
quarters of an inch thick under the
glare of 25 electric lights, proves that
Stovall also could not have been doing
his He is not supposed to sit
down at all during the night, but to
walk continuously up and down the
large sleeping room and count his pris
oners every hour."
The escape of Miner is the second
since he was arrested and convicted,
March 15. 1911. for the Hall county
holdup. He escaped from the prison
farm October 17, 1911, and was recap
tured and returned to the farm Novem
ber 5. less than a month later. Whether
or not he will be retaken this time is a
question.
Miner and Widencamp sawed their
way to liberty. Wiggins, being a short
termer. was not so securely shackled.
It was easy for him to follow the lead
of the two long-termers.
Miner was double shackled to his
iron cot and to a post on the second
floor of the new prison building. He
sawed the shackles from his legs, and
then, with a bed slat, pried the iron
bars from a window. Through this
opening he let himself to the ground by
a rope made of bed clothing. Widen
camp sawed the shackles from his legs
and followed Miner to liberty. Wiggins
went along when the way to freedom
was open.
WIFE, THREATENING
TO SHOOT HUSBAND,
IS. SENT TO TOWER
After spending the night in the police
station, charged with drunkenness, disor
derly conduct and carrying a pistol. Mrs.
Frank C. Elliott, of 102 Ivy street, was
released today on SIOO cash collateral, put
up by her husband, an employee of the
Dowman-Dozier Company. Her trial will
be this afternoon.
Mrs. Elliott was arrested last night on
Ivy street, near her home, while engaged
in a quarrel with her husband. Officers
Williams and Perry, plain clothes men.
were walking along Ivy street, when they
heard the woman threaten to shoot her
husband. They rushed up and arrested
her.
When searched, a pistol was found on
her. She was taken to the police station
and locked up for the night.
URGES STATE TAX
TO HE GA. DRY
Senate Bill Provides Levy of
$1,000,000 a Year on
Liquor Dealers.
A state revenue tax as a solution of
the liquor problem, which the author
says will net the state $1,000,000 a year,
is provided in a bill Introduced in the
senate today by Senator J. H. Felker,
of the Twenty-seventh district, and
formed the principal mater of Interest
in the upper house.
The house of representatives receiv
ed two bills from the Atlanta delega
tion for the aid of Georgia Tech, one
appropriating s2o,ooo’for a new heating
and power building, and the other in
creasing the appropriation for this year
from $75,000 to SBO,OOO. It spent most
of the session in a heated debate over
an ancient claim offered by the heirs
of Sherman J. Sims, deceased.
Any person, firm or corporation re
ceiving or having in their possession
beer, wines, whisky, brandy or other
spirituous liquor* will be liable for a
state tax, if these bills become laws.
All railroad, express companies or oth
er common carriers will be required to
report all shipments of liquors within
the state.
Provides Printing
Os Liquor Stamps.
The schedule of taxes is 10 4'ents a
gallon on beer or near-beer, 25 cents a
gallon on wines and $1 a gallon on
whisky, brandy or other such liquors.
The bills provide for the printing of
state liquor stamps in these denomi
nations and their distribution by the
comptroller general ot superior court
clerks in all counties, who will be the
state’s selling agents or stamp clerks.
The common carriers are required to
file with the ordinary of each county a
record of all liquor shipments to con
signees in that county, and this record
is made prima facie evidence on which
the superior court clerks can require
the purchase of stamps.
Punishment for violation of these
acts is fixed at that prescribed for mis
demeanors. The bills were referred to
the committee on temperance.
Felker Bill Intended
As Prohibition Measure.
Senator Felker said today that his
bills were not designed as revenue
measures, but prohibition measures.
The senator believes the tax on liquors,
called for by the bills, will make drink
ing prohibitive and will put thousands
of blind tigers out of business.
The Fulton delegation offered a bill
to appropriate $20,000 for the Georgia
School of Technology to erect and equip
a heating, lighting and power plant
upon the campus. It also offered a bill
raising the appropriation for the school
this year SBO,OOO instead of $75,000.
