Geologist Has Just Completed
Survey—Declares Vast Latent
Wealth Is There.
Warren E. Hall, district engineer of
the United States Geological Survey,
returned to Atlanta Friday from the
Florida Everglades, where. In com
pany with E. T. Perkins. M. O. Leigh
ton and Isham Randolph, he made a
survey to determine the feasibility of
draining the great swamps.
Mr Hall is pleased with the result
of the Investigation and declares it
will be poslsble to reclaim most of
the water-covered area.
“There are," said Mr. Hall, "hun
dreds of square miles in the Ever
glades where no white man has ever
set foot. I predict that Just as soon
as enough money can be appropriated j
and Judiciously used this now useless
territory can be turned into the most
fertile farm land.
Canal To Be Built.
“The first great taks to be under
taken will be the construction of a
canal which will connect Miami and
Fort Meyers, thus uniting the east
and west coasts of Florida. This
canal will be made navigable for the
largest ships and will reduce the
distance between these two poinU
165 miles
“Florida some time ago made an
appropriation for drainage work. Sev
eral million dolars were spent. The
work was done without due consid
eration. The men engaged Jumped at
conclusions, and as a consequence
the work done is lost time and money
uselessly spent, for the water does not
run the right way.
“An appropriation of $40,000 has
been made recently for Investigation
alone to determine exactly what can
be done. Our report has gone In and
$6,000,000 will be appropriated at
once.
Beauties of Okechobee.
“One place where the drainage
work previously done proved a suc
cess—Zona, Fla., about eight mll°s
west of Fort Lauderdale—a real es
tate company purchased 10,000 acres
of land for $1 an acre. This com
pany is selling this land at $80 an
act*.
"The Everglades are about 20 feet
above sealevel and the water can be
made to run easily Into the ocean.
Our scheme is to perfect a drainage
system in the wet season and an ir
rigating system in the dry months.
The soil Is rich and black and the cli
mate is ideal. No malaria is found in
the center of the Everglades at Lake
Okechobee—a beautiful lake about 30
miles square—a littl elnland sea. one
might term it. There Is not a minute
In the day that huge black bass do
not Jump in the water. There are
hundreds of them, and as you travel
in a boat a continual splashing is
Tieard.
Killed Some Alligators.
“There are very few mosquitoes.
So far this summer the temperature
in the Everglades has been cool. I
think 92 degrees is the warmest day
we had.
"We traveled many of the rivers,
and, I tell you. I saw many strang®
and weird sights. We traveled in a
combination sail and power yacht.
In the evening when the moon shone
brightly, we sat in our boat and
fished. I caught many bass as large
as seven pounds and shot a number
of alligator*—one over twelve feet in
length escaped. His Jaws were large
enough to tak'* a calf In his mouth.
"I enjoyed the trip every minute
and can positively say that golden
opportunity and fabulous wealth
await investment in the Everglades
of Florida."

American and British Teams Meet
in Second Day of Play for
Davis Cup,
Special Cable to The Georgian.
WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND, July 26.
With the count one and one, the Eng
lish and American lawn tennla teams
to-day met in the double match to
gain the vantage point of the play
for the Davis cup.
The American contingent is much
disappointed to-day over the defeat
of Maurice E. McLoughlin, of whom
so much was expected, in the single
match yesterday with J. C. Parke. The
young Californian had already defeat
ed Parke in the open tennis matches
last month, and his defeat was entire
ly unexpected.
Both matches yesterday were so
hard fought that the betting to-day
is at even money and take your pick.
Each game yesterday required five
sets to bring out a winner, and when
play was over In the second match,
R. Norris Williams, of Philadelphia,
had evened up the score by defeat
ing C. P. Dixon.
To-day's play is between McLough-
lin and Harold H. Hackett against
Dixon and H. Roper Barrett.
Legislature Praised
By Governor Slaton
Words of praise for the work of the
Legislature were spoken by Governor
Slaton Friday night at a banquet
given to the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House at the Capital
City Club by Chairman L. R. Akin.
"I have every confidence in the gen
tlemen composing the Georgia Legis
lature this year. I do not believe I
have ever seen a finer and more effi
cient body," the Governor said.
President J. Randolph Anderson, of
the Senate, and Crawford Wheatley,
chairman of the Appropriations Com
mittee. spoke on the subject of tax
reform.

Fill cart this Coupon and send it to "Booster Button” Editor of
The Georgian and American.
If you don’t want to get your name
on record, don’t belong to the Georgia
Senate.
At leas*, the present Senate is the
most thoroughly put-your-name-on-
record Senate Atlanta ever has had in
Its midst—and that, it will be gener
ally agreed. Is going some in that
direction!
Every time anything comes up In
the Senate—except local bills, and
nobody knows why the watchdog*
overlook them—somebody calls for
the ayes and nays. It only takes one-
fifth of the Senate to order the ayes
and nays, and there is a valiant littla
band always on the job voting that
roll call.
The other day, Senator Miller got
a little mixed on what was going on.
and arose to address the chair.
"Mr. President,” said Mr Miller,
"we are taking an aye and nay vote,
I believe, on whether we shall take
an aye and nay vote on the pending
question ?”
"Well, no," smiled the Chair. "It
isn’t quite come to that yet—but it
may, eventually!”
And then the Chair explained to
Mr. Miller what the aye and nay vote
WAS being taken on.
Senator Miller sat down, with a
queer little smile flickering about the
corners of his lips
And the Senate didn’t know, really,
whether Mr. Miller was Joshing It
when he asked the question of the
Chair.
Upon inquiry, the Senator very
gravely assured several gentlemen
that he was very ?*erlous, very seri
ous, Indeed, and would not joke upon
such a weighty matter as calling the
ayes and nays on whether there
should he a call of the ayes and nays
—not In this Senate, anyhow!
could. Moreover, he forced an equal
division of time between advocates
and opponents of the bill.
Mr. Swift, of Muscogeq, has come
to be recognized as a member of
standing and influence, notwithstand
ing the fact that he is young and
this is his first term in the House.
He is a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, and has taken a
prominent and constructive part in
the committee’s deliberations so far,
particularly in the manner of an in-
heritnace tax and tax equalization.
Mr. Swift and Mr. Cole, of Bartow,
have joined ther two inheritance tax
measures, and are working harmoni
ously and effectively together to get
a good bill through.
One of the new county boomers to
day certainly got the goat of George,
the elevator boy at the Kimball, who
looks like a slice of midnight.
This gentleman wan rustic In ap
pearance and evidently mindful of
the fact that he was walking around'
among statesmen and things, such as
congregate in the Kimball lobby.
George had noticed this rural per
son standing at the door of the ele
vator, and thinking he might wish to
go up. he Inquired of the stranger
if he desired to reach a certain floor.
"No," said the boomer, “I am satis
fied right here on this floor, but I
wouldn’t minding riding in that cage
thing. How much do you charge!”
"Lord, mister, git in.' s*aid George,
“hit don’t cost nothin’!”
And the boomer got in and rode
up and down half a dozen times with
George—and even after that, there
wasn't anything doing in the tip line
of business.
President Randolph Anderson en
deavors to hold Senators within the
rules of courtesy when debate is pro
gressing.
One of the rules is that no Senator
muPt ask a question calculated to Im
pugn the motives of a Senator speak
ing—such as whether he is interest
ed materially in a pending measure
or whether his family isn’t kin to the
beneficiary. A Senator within proper
limits may debate these things, but
he may not call upon another Sen
ator to state his connection with any
measure.
During the progress of the debate
on Barrow County Thursday, several
questions of this sort were propound
ed between Senators, but the Presi
dent always headed them off where h«
The split in the Richmond delega
tion In the House is interesting. It
comes about over the question of
commission government for Augusta.
The local advocates of commission
government are pinning their faith io
Representatives Samuel L. Olive and
Samuel F. Garlington. These gentle
men will endeavor to get a bill passed
giving Augusta a charter, with a ref
erendum to the people.
Mr. Picquet, the third Representa
tive from Richmond, is openly op
posed to the commission plan.
The commission advocates won a
recent election in Augusta by a vote
of 2,094 to 40, and this is a larger
vote than has ever been cast for any
mayoralty candidate except one.
The opponents of the commission
plan contend, however, that the elec
tion was not won, because more than
one-half of those registered did not
vote in favor of it. That principle
will not apply to the Augusta case,
according to local commission gov
ernment enthusiasts, and the light in
the House is sure to be warm.
Representative Nunnally, of Floyd,
has accumulated another and addi
tional title of affection among his leg
islative colleagues.
Because of his real ot imaginary
facial resemblance to the German
Emperor, he now is known as "Kaiser
Bill," Wherever Nunnally goes these
days h4 Is greeted either with "Hoch,
der Kaiser!" or “Your Imperial Maj
esty.”
Nunnally really is genuinely popu
lar among his associates. He has
come to be recognized as a man of
much common sense and poise, and
his influence in the House is large
accordingly.
With the unfavorable recommenda
tion in the ca6e of the proposed new
county of Norwood, the House Com
mittee on Constitutional Amendments
has finished the list of proposed new
counties.
It has recommended few for pas
sage. and those few only after the
most careful and searching investiga
tion and analysis of their claims.
Those favorably recommended will go
before the Legislature—by far the
greater number of them next ses
sion—with considerable prestige be
hind them. Some of them, indeed
stand a fair chance to go through.
In the meantime, however, the House
oofnmittee is glad its share of the
labor is over.

No Eligible List of Assistants to
Recently Named Atlanta Inter
nal Revenue Collector.
An unusual situation will arise upon
the transfer of the office of Internal
Revenue Collector, when a special
agent arrives in Atlanta August 1.
The retiring Collector, Henry S.
Jackson, fears hsl successor, A. O.
Blalock, of Fayetteville, will be placed
In an embarrassing position.
"The Collector of Internal Revenue
is the only office," said Mr. Jackson,
“which really has no fixed term. All
other appointive offices in the Gov
ernment service are for four years,
but the Collector's term is subject to
the will of the President alone.
"When a Collector of Internal Reve
nue goes out of office, the terms of his
deputies expire automatically, for
they are appointed by him,” said Mr.
Jackson. “At present there is n?
eligible list, and when I go out >f
office, there will, therefore, be no
deputies.
"If my successor, Mr. Blalock, sees
fit, he may appoint my deputies, but
after appointing them he can not dis
charge them without good cause, for
a man is never dismissed from the
Government service, after he qualifies
by civil service examination, except
for some disdemeanor.
"No civil service examination for
deputies will be held until August 15,
and it will be September before the
results are known. In the meantime,
I am sure the Government will not be
content to let the Atlanta office run
without deputies. I am sorry for Mr.
Blalock and hope the matter can in
some way be adjusted so his friends
will not be disappointed."
Postmaster Hugh McKee, after a
brief sojourn in Washington, New
York and other Eastern points, has
arrived in Atlanta. He was busily
occupied Saturday with an accumula
tion of correspondence. In reply to
questions bearing on the assertions
that his resignation had been de
manded, together with those of As
sistant Postmaster Cole and Superin
tendent of Mails I. C. Hart, he said:
"So far J have not been advised,
personally nor by any written com-
municatio, of a request for my relsg-
natlon. I was in Washington Thurs
day and Friday of last week and vis
ited the department headquarters. I
made several recommendations for
minor improvements in the Atlanta
office and was accorded more than
ordinary consideration, gaining the
assurance that the Items I mentioned
would be supplied.
“I had a long talk with Mr. Roper,
First Assistant Postmaster General,
and no one could have been more
courteous than he. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson I saw only for a few
minutes, as he was called to attend
a cabinet meeting.
"The first intimation I had that my
resignation as Postmaster of Atlanta
had been requested by the Postoffice
Department at Washington was con
tained In a short story In the home
edition of The Atlanta Georgian
which I purchased on the Southern
Railway train Friday afternoon while
on my way to Atlanta.
“I repeat that If there Is any in
efficiency In the Atlanta postoffice, of
which I am Postmaster. I do not know f
it. I ftherc Is Inefficiency I alone
am responsible -for it, for I am re
sponsible for every man employed by
the Government in the Atlanta post-
office, and I will answer any charges
at any time.
“I w'1ll also say that lam ready to
hand In my resignation the minute I
am advised the Postoffice Department
wants it."
