Leave LaGrange Discussing Gov
ernor’s Arraignment of Geor
gia’s Antiquated Tax System.
I.A ORANGE, July 24—Members
of the Georgia Weekly Press Associa
tion left LaGrange this morning for
Brunswick. still" difcussing Governor
John Marshall Slaton’s scathing ar
raignment of Georgia’s tax syetem at
the annual banquet of the association
Wednesday night. The Governor ap
pealed to the editors for aid in what
he declared to be the most serious
financial crisis in the hlRtory of the
Sta^e. He 5«id that Georgia’s tax
system and reckless spending by the
Legislature have brought about pres
ent conditions, when the State finds
itself unable to pay its school-teach
ers.
“We must admit it is indefensible
to maintain a system that pays its
teachers a year after their work has
been performed,” Governor Slaton
said. "It is pleasant to spend money
and hard to make it. We love to ap
propriate. yet shrink from the tax
levy. In two years, the Treasurer
savs. we have spent nearly three-
quarters of a million more than our
income. The teachers—patient and
hard-working—teaching during the
day and working examinations at
night—molding the characters and
training the minds of those upon
whom our civilization depends—under
our system find no ray of hope from
the Injustice they suffer.
Recommends Special Taxes.
"While unpleasant to do, I have
recommended a levy--an extra tax of
1 mill for 1915, and 1-2 mill in 1916, ns
the brave way to get relief. The tax
payer will find it the best trade he
ever made It would prevent the im
position of drastic taxing laws, the
defic it in the treasury would be satis
fied. the Stnte could say to purohn.<-*ers
of her bond** that she is on a solid
financial basis, her teachers would be
paid, and the kiting policy, which is
opposed to all sound principle, would
be abolished "
Governor Slaton emphatically de
clared himself In favor of the plan of
equalization of taxes that has been
recommended by the Legislature
Favors Tax Equalization.
"Is not equalization Just that re
quires all to pay the same percent
age?” he asked. "Is it right that one
many pays on 16 per cent of the value
of his property when another pays on
40? An increase of 20 per cent, by
simply equalizing the burden, not in
creasing that of him who is already
hearing his part, would produce an
abundance of revenue for every legiti
mate purpose "
The editors will arrive at Bruns
wick this afternoon and enjoy an out
ing of several days in that eliy and
at St. Simons Island, where the Sec
ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.

Dr, Starnes to Play
Great Symphony as
Farewell to Atlanta
The whole of Tsehalkowsky’s "Sym-
phonie Pathetique," regarded by many
as th* greatest piece of instrumental
music ever composed, will be played
at a free organ concert Thursday
evening atv the Auditorium-Armory
under the Music Festival Assooia-
tlon'* 1 auspices.
The presentation of such a work
complete in one program Is some
thing new in the annals of music in
the South. This concert will be
somewhat In the nature of a farewell
from Dr. Starnes, who will terminate
his Atlanta engagement in the early
fall. The playing of the "Symphonie
Pathetique” ia a monumental under
taking for one man.
Dr. Starnes said:
"In arranging this work I had no
idea that its presentation by means
of a concert organ should be a« ideal
as by an orchestra of 150 pieces, but
not one person in 200 ever will have
the opportunity to hear the symphony
by a great orchestra.”
The program also includes a short
Bach fugue and Liszt's "Dream of
Love.”

that Macon will invite the Confeder

1914 reunion here. There was no in

prompted the local veterans to arouse
an interest in the matter.

Loaded With Meals,
He Defies the World

Mistress, in Atlanta on Visit, Can 1
Not Trust Feline Aristocrat to
Butcher Shop Diet.
Bricks and eggs and live stock have
become common enough as mail mat
ter within the past few months, but
never until Miss Bessie Butler came
to Atlanta had Uncle Sam’s parcel
post served as a dumb waiter for a
cat! •
Down at Madison. Ga., a big aristo
cratic Thomas cat—by name, "Mc-
Curry"—getp his breakfast every day
by parcel post, all the way from 513
Peachtree street, where Miss Butler
is visiting Mrs. A. Cunningham.
"McCurry” is Miss Butler’s most
priceless possession, and when she
came to Atlanta she left instructions
that the cat must be fed large, man-
size pork chops each day. She gave
this order to a butcher, with the in
evitable result.
Poor "McOurry’s" chops soon took
on the appearance of a large piece of
bone surrounded by a meaty atmos
phere. and the cat got dyspepsia and
developed a crabbed disposition. He
lost his zest in life—all nine of him—
and was peevish and poor company.
The sad news of "McCurry’s” con-
di'ion was written to Miss Butler by
a friend. It seemed that unless* some
thing was done at once the cat would
die—it was feared he would break all
his teeth trying to eat the bones
the butcher said were chops.
So Mi»p Butler has invoked the aid
of Uncle Sam She gathers up all
the scraps of meat that are left when
the Cunningham meal is over, and
each night she packs them into a
shoe box ami forward." them to her
friend in Madison, who feeds them
to the cat the next morning.
The unique method of feeding her
pet has been going on for several
days now—and latest advices from
the front are that the cat is doing
well and taking oji weight.

Harry Pendleton mournfully confides

Pendleton-had been engaged to Des-
sie McIntyre for two years, when he
met Henrietta Aiken, a Bridgeport,
Ohio, belle. He fell a willing conquest
and Miss McIntyre was peeved, but
not without hope. She went cupid

cutting her hair short, donning the
clothes of a modern Beau Brummel
and "cutting out” Pendleton in mas
terly fashion. Then she doffed her
masquerade.
Pendleton refuses to say whether
or not Miss Aiken has permitted him
to resume his courtship.

Tipsy Monkey Kills
Dog, Maims Master
SMITHERS. W. VA., July 24—A
drunken monkey belonging to George
Smith, went on a rampage and after
killing a bulldog, so severely chewed
up Smith’s hand that he was forced
to have it amputated.
Smith gave a party and the mon
key had come in for hie share of
refreshments. After the guests de
parted the monkey evinced a desire
for another drink. Smith refused.
The bulldog then sprang at the
Simian, but the latter jumped on the
dog’s back and with his claws soon
blinded him, then sank his teeth into
the neck, killing him.
Smith suffered his injuries in his
efforts to subdue his pet.

AID FROM BLEASE
Estranged Wife of Augusta Man
Flees to South Carolina With
Her Children.
AUGUSTA. July 24.—Reports from
Columbia, S. C., are that Mrs. Mary
W. Zachry. of Augusta, appealed to
Governor Blease yesterday to not al
low her two children to be taken away
from her in South Carolina, where she
fled with her babies, Frances, aged 3.
and Mildred. 9 month.®. It is under
stood the Governor did not commit
himself.
Julian J. Zachry, the husband, was
asked for a statement yesterday. He
said that he had nothing to say about
the kidnaping of the children by Mrs.
Zachry.
Mrs. Zachry stated before leaving
here that she would kill her husband
or any other man who attempted to
take her babies from her. She was
frantic because of what she termed
the law’s* injustice in awarding the
children to Mr. Zachry’s custody.
Mrs. Zachry was Miss Mary Wilcox
and was Mr. Zachry’s stenographer
when they were married. Within a
year the first child was born. It was
a short time before the second child
was born that an estrangement oc
curred. *
Mrs. Zachry, it is charged, found
letters* alleged to show that her hus
band had been having secret meetings
with another woman. This led to their
separation, the court's order*awarding
the custody of the children to their
father and the mother’s defiance of
the ruling as shown in her action in
taking them to South Carolina.
Firemen Plan Strike

DALTON, July 24.—Cooler heads

Council’s failure to make an appro
priation for the omen’s annual out
ing. Citizens have maci? up a fund
for the outing, and the firemen will
leave here on August 9 for St. Simons
Island.
E
Study of Lines in Other States To
Be Made to Further Anderson-
Atlanta Project.
Encouragement to the construction
of the interurban line known as the
Duke Line, from Anderson, S. C., to
Atlanta, is promised as the result of a
meeting at the Capital City Club of
the Chamber of Commerce committee
on interurban railways.
This committee, appointed by Presi
dent Wilmer L. Moore to further in
terurban lines radiating from Atlanta,
decided it would be best to deal with
one project at a time, and as this one
is most talked of, it is proposed by the
committee to investigate to ascertain
just what will be necessary to bring
about its extension to Atlanta. The
committee will make a report to the
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce with such recommendations as
the situation appears to justify.
The committee will gather statis
tics and information relative to in
terurban railways, with a view to pre
senting the advantages which Atlan
ta will gather from their construc
tion.
The members of the committee
present were Chairman Hollins N.
Randolph. Preston S. Arkwright,
Frederic J. Paxon and Secretary Fred
Lewis.
