SEEKS PROBE OF i I STATE OFFICES 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. MOBILE GETS PURE FOOD MEET.

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.

"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.
