Rep. Hollis Not Satisfied With
Fees Information From Sec
retary and Comptroller.
Representative Hollis, of Taylor
county, will introduce a bill in the
house within the next day or two to |
provide for a joint committee to in
vestigate the offices of secretary of
state and comptroller general.
■‘These two offices, particularly the
comptroller general, pay big fees, in
addition to a salary. I want to know
exactly what those fees amount to,
and how they are collected and dis
tributed,” said Mr. Hollis.
“The legislature has attempted to
get from the secretary of state and the
comptroller fair and square answers to
questions concerning these fees. The
legislature gets replies both inconclu
sive and evasive—in part actually flip
pant.
“I hold that every official compensated
by f ees should stand ready at all times
to let the people know how much he
gets in fees and how he gets It. That's
all.
■I am looking for light on an im
portant matter, and I shall not let up
In my effort to get it."
It was the general impression when
the Hollis resolution for information
from the office of secretary of state
and the comptroller was introduced
that it was merely the forerunner of
a resolution to investigate. That res
olution. Mr. Hollis says, he will intro
duce immediately.
11YFAR OLD GIRLS IN
RACE FOR PIEDMONT
SWIMMING HONORS
Two little eleven-year-old girls, Jen
nie Perkerson and Virginia Merker, th’
wonders of Piedmont lake, will race
each other this afternoon in a quarter
mile swim for the juvenile champion
ship.
Jennie won all honors in the women’s
contests on July 4 and was acclaimed
as the marvel of the lake in all sorts of
swimming and diving feats, but that
was before Virginia came out for the
season. About two weeks ago Virginia
arrived at the lake when the other girl
was not present and Virginia showed
the life savers and spectators that she
could swim a little bit herself. Just as
Virginia finished a mile swim, Jennie
arrived for her daily plunge. Some one
told Jennie what the other child had
done and Jennie wanted to race her
right then, but Virginia was too tired
and asked to race another day.
Then the unaccustomed sun got in
its work and for over a week Virginia's
face looked like a parboiled beet. She
has now recovered and wears a coat of
tan almost as deep as her rival’s. Dur
ing that time each has told what she
can do and the rivalry IS as keen as
razor edge.
The race will start promptly at 4:30
o’clock and all other swimmers .will be
called out of the lake so that spectators
on the banks may get a good view.

SUNDAY BATHER DROWNS
IN LAKE NEAR DALTON
DALTON. G.-.., July 22.—Lon Wright,
Jr., aged nineteen years, was drowned
in a lake near Dug Gap church. Whit
field county, while in bathing late yes
terday afternoon. The body was re
covered a half hour after the boy sank.

deep hole, the body never coming to the
surface until life was extinct. Three
companions made fruitless efforts at a
rescue.
DIABETES
The probabilities under Fulton’s Dia
betic Compound seein to us to be about
as follows:
In cases of 60 years and over reports
have been so encouraging that it is our
belief that recovery or control that pro
longs life in reasonable comfort is possi
ble in nearly nine-tenths of the cases.
While at 50 a majority of all cases ap
pear to respond to the treatment below 50
and approaching 40 the disease gets more
stubborn, and between 30 and 40 the per
ventage is not high and we can not make
strong claims.
Under 30 the percentage is very low and
in children recoveries have been rare and
most of those were obtained through the
aid of skilled physicians keeping the liver
active, promoting nutrition and giving al
kalines when necessary to control ace
tones
Fulton's Diabetic Compound can be had
at Frank Edmondson & Bro., 14 South
Broad street and 106 North Pryor street
Ask for pamphlet.
It does not conflict with physicians' pre
scriptions. But where patients require co
dein we desire to submit something milder
that contains no opium.
We desire every patient not improving
the third week to write us. Always state

FATHER GIVES SON
NOVEL BIRTHDAY GIFT
Anniversary Remembrance Was Too
Big For Soy to Take Away
With Him.
"On the morning of my birthday that
brought a vote with it,” a moderately
successful failure said the other day,
"my father took me to the front door,
walked me out upon the front porch
and, pointing at the horizon, said: ‘My
son, this is a proud moment for both
of us. You are no longer a boy, but a
man full grown, and ort this your birth
day morn I give to you the greatest
present I could bestow—the world;
there it is in all its glory: it lies spread
out before you—go and get it.' I have
been trying ever since to obtain pos
session of even some small portion of
that birthday gift, byt have been but
indifferently successful.”
The Georgian can provide you with a
birthday gift acceptable and easily ob
tainable by any boy or man, and it is
in fact the world —the world described,
catalogued and carefully pictured in
maps and charts so far as its geogra
phy is concerned. Each principal city
and country is given special descrip
tion, and your town and every other
man's town listed as to population and
importance of its activities; the his
tory of the world and of your own
country so compiled that a conception
of it can be secured and retained at a
glance if you desire to work your mem
ory or kept ready at hand if you desire
to keep it for reference.
The Georgian is presenting to its
readers the neatest and most compact
geographical and historical work ever
compiled in the Standard Atlas and
Chronological History of the World.
Here is a commonsense gift to any
one.
If you want to present your boy with
the world, at least be thoughtful enough
to give him at the same time this guide
which may help in teaching him how
to get it.
Clip six headings. Begin now.

RAILROADS COMBAT
ENGINEERS’ DEMAND
FOR WAGE INCREASE
NEW YORK, July 22.—With the full
presentation of the engineers' demands
for salary increase made, the railroads
presented their case today before the
arbitration commission, which will de
cide whether the Eastern railroads
shall raise the pay Os their engineers
approximately $7,500,000 annually.
The railroads in their arguments re
fuse the demands on the ground that
the existing rates of pay are full and
liberal and that present rules of serv
ice bear some relation to local condi
tions, that standardization of either
rates of pay or rules of service are not
justified by conditions and that electric
service is not entitled to be paid upon
a steam basis.
In presenting the railroads' argu
ments President B. A. Worthington, of
the Chicago and Alton, made the dec
laration that the railroads of the coun
try will be utterly unable with their
present facilities to cope with a traffic
Increase similar to that experienced In
1907.

AMERICANS FLEE
NEU TERROR
Rebels Menace Yankees at
Pearson Saw Mills, Looting
Stores, Searching Homes.
EL PASO, TEXAS. July 22.—A spe
cial train loaded with Americans,
reached Jaurez today from Madera,
state of Chihuahua, bringing the Amer
icans from the newest danger zone cre
ated by the shift of the Mexican revo
lution. The decision to close the Pear
son saw mills and wood working plant
at Pea: son and bring out the Americans
was reached Sunday morning after a
night of terror Saturday. Rebels
searched American homes Saturday for
ammunition and arms.
The American citizens, determined to
protect themselves and families, organ
ized an armed guard to oppose the reb
els. For a time the situation was criti
cal.
The rebels looted a number of stores
and stole the horses used for the hos
pital ambulance. There are still sev
eral hundred lebels in Pearson and the
federals are marching on the town
from Chihuahua City. The Pearson
plants located there cost half a million
dollars and there is fear of their de
struction. The Pearson company is at:
English concern.
General Orozco is still in Jaurez.

“The Car With a Conscience” / ,
Our Engineering Creed /
I< BELIEVE when a good engineer designs
W a car, the basic principles, aside from sim
plicity and accessibility, are to eliminate friction,
guard against distortion, reduce wear to the mini
mum, and deliver the maximum horsepower to the
driving wheels with the least possible loss.’’
Our creed is real. It is our religion of the
motor car world. Firmly, trustfully, and unafraid,
we are standing back of it, implicitly confident that
our belief is well founded and just. We know
that the superb motor car which has been born of
that creed has fully proved its worth.
It is, indeed, a splendid car. Critical and con
servative engineers frequently have asked: “How
can you build it at the price?” jF /
