It is the intention of the board to appoint men who are compe tent properly to interpret the intent and carry out the expressed provi sions of the law, thus entailing a hardship upon no one, but placing the burden of taxation where it properly belongs. The members of the board realize that the value of the law to the Stat« rests entirely with its prop er administration through the work of the equalizers, and to the accom plishment of that end will endeavor to secure those best qualified.” The investigations of Judge Hart have reveaeld the fact that similar conditions to those in Houston exist all over Georgia, and that there is a desire upon the part of the people lo see them remedied. He believes the law will effect a great general reform in Georgia, and that within a year or two everybody will be heartily in fa vor of it. He expects it to accom plish two desired things eventually— first, to increase greatly the income, of the State, and. second, to reduce the tax rate. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley—known In th° old days in Washington as “Old Bo rax” -has declared himself in favor of Georgia cane syrup, as being bet ter than all other svrups in the world. Dr. WUey is. perhaps, the nation's very wisest food sharp, and what he says about things gastronomic goes, If what anybody says goes. “Old Borax” merely has affirmed a platform, however, long ago that was set up in Georgia, arid never has been knocked down. Hundreds of foxy pol iticians in this State have been elect ed to the office on a platform declar ing merely for the upremacy of Georgia cane syrup. So many people Use. and breathe, and having their heinr in Georgia lovingly attached to this delicacy, that if everybody in th^ neighborhood who loves cane svrup can be induc ed to vote ,for the cane- syrup candidate, why, he bats hia election over, all rlgh‘! The only difficulty is that most can didates a re wise to the platform, and nearly all of them climb upon it qulc\ and early in the campaign. Comptroller General William A. Wright has sent the following letter to all Tax Collectors in Georgia: • To the Tax Collectors of Georgia— Gentlemen: I am advised by the Gov ernor and State Treasurer that the State is in urgent need of funds with which to meet heavy drafts on the Treasury which will be made between now and the flrgt of January. It will, therefore, be necessary for you to press collections as rapidly as pos sible. The law requires that all taxes due the State shall be paid by the 20th of December of each year. Ex plain this to the taxpayers of your county, and urge that they make prompt settlement of their taxes, which you will please remit without waiting for the first Monday in Jan uary. in order that the Treasurer may be able to meet all demands as they mature.” Both the Governor and the Comp troller are particularly anxious to get this year’s taxes in hand as early as possible, in order to avoid treasury embarrassments later along, and ev ery taxpayer who settles up, there fore, before January 1, at the outside, will be doing, in the opinion of the Governor and the Comptroller, a gen uinely patriotic and helpful service to the State. Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick has written to the River and Canal Commission of Augusta for data to be used in connection with his fight in the House of Representatives for Federal aid in building the proposed levee protection against high water. Mr. Hardwick wants to ascertain •as nearly as possible Just how much Augusta lost by the 1908 flood actual ly and an aceurately estimated loss of business resulting from the flood. It will require a great deal of work to get lip the necessary information, and at the next meeting of the River and Canal Commission in Augusta this question will be taken up and active work begun securing the in formation. The business men of Augusta al ready have guaranteed a fund of $1.- 000,000—probably to be raised through a bond issue—and Congressman Hardwick feels very sanguine of se curing the additional Federal aid nec essary to complete the levee work. Banker to Promote Teller After Fight ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2.—“I wouldn’t want a man working here who would submit to be called a liar. McGirk, go back to work,” said President Thomas Randolph, of the National Bank of Commerce, an $80,000,000 institution. In passing upon a fight which had occurred in a teller's cage in the bank.

White, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, declared Wednesday that Atlanta's example in reforming its civic life has been felt througout the entire country. Dr. White says that the record of accomplishment is unparal leled. “Eighteen months ago the Evan gelical Ministers’ Association of At lanta. representing churches with a membership of more than 40,000 white people in Atlanta, unanimously ac cepted responsibility and control of the Men and Religion Forward Move ment program,'' said Dr. White. “Fifteen months ago the pastors of the evangelical churches, over their individual signatures (published as Men and Religion Bulletin No. 8), pledged their confidence and devotion to the executive committee in an ef fort to make an end of intolerable social evil in Atlanta. Points Out Results. “We now come to challenge the at tention of the Christian public and of the entire citizenship of Atlanta to the actual results which, since that recent date, have been achieved for the moral progress of Atlanta and hu manity through the executive com mittee of the Men and Religion For ward Movement. “We submit that for actual con structive accomplishment in so short a time the record of facts is unpar alleled. “First, the Daily Vacation Bible' School program has been firmly es tablished. Two thousand five hun dred and eighty children, mostly alien to the churches, have been gath ered for five weeks In elementary Bi ble study and practical handicraft under the direction of 57 consecrated Christian teachers. Plans now in hand provide for 5.000 children with 100 teachers next summer. “Second, a revolution has been wrought in the attitude of Atlanta toward the traffic in vice. The pro tected houses of prostitution have been abolished. Atlanta is placed on the hilltop of country-wide admira tion for the most ^thoroughgoing and successful dealing with vice over achieved in an American city. We have dealt constructively and sys tematically with the consequences fol lowing the overthrow’ of capitalized and professional traffic in woman hood. W r e have dealt in Christian helpfulness and unstinted brotherli ness with 162 unfortunate girls and women. Homes for Wayward. “We have established the Martha's Home for Wayward Girls at a cost of $12,500 for property and main- tena nee. "Through the County Commission ers of Fulton County we have secured the establishment of a home for in corrigible females which is now in the course of erection on land set apart for this purj>ose. “We have secured througli the Georgia Legislature the Georgia Training School for Girls, with an initial appropriation of $20,000 from the Stale. ‘Third. Through our Prison Reform Department, under the direction of Philip Weltner. we have wrought the beginning of a new day in the treat ment of prisoners in Georgia by se curing on our statute books the pro bation law for first offenders. “We have successfully appealed to the Prison Commission for an order abolishing the custom of indiscrim inate desecration of prisoners by convict stripes. “Fourth. Joining hands with the forces of organized labor, we have defeated a determined effort to over throw the Christian Sabbath in At lanta by opening theaters on Sunday, which was carefully aimed as the opening wedge to a general desecra tion of the day of rest in our city. Other Towns Follow Lead. “This bare summarv of actualized results poorly tells what has been really achieved. “The far-reaching effects of the How to Overcome a Bad Constipation There is a Mild Laxative That Will Bring Safe and Pleasant Relief Over Night.
