JAMIS B. NEVTN
NEW YORK, Dec 3. The N-w
York American prints th« following j
to-day
“Georgia i« probably this ear the
most prosperous State in tin- I'nion. j
declared Governor John M Slaton, of j
Georgia, yesterday at thi Waldorf- |
Astoria.
“This is no exaggeration. The vice j
president of the National Park Bank j
of this city, which ha» been the cor
respondent for the State of Georgia
for many years, remarked to me .o-
day that lie could assort conserva
tively that Georgia was more pros
perous than any other Stale
'The cotton crop has been enor
mous one bale for every man. woman
-ind child ii th Btata, bUp k <<r n h! 1 ■
In other States the production of
cotton has been limited. In conse
quence, the price is high, and Geor
gia is getting the benefits of bumper
crops and high prices.
Tells of Products.
"We have also raised this year more
foodstuff than ever before and do not
have to rely, as heretofore, upon the
Western States. We produced eighty
million bushels of corn. Just be
fore 1 came to New York 1 had am
ple. opportunity to learn the situation
by personal observation. I made a
tour of the State, visiting the county
fairs.
"Everybody in Georgia has con
tributed to the year's prosperity.
While the farmer exhibited his cot
ton and corn and products of ;hs
smokehouse. Ills wife exhibited her
preserves, pickles, sauces, Jellies, et .
and the girls in the canning club*
showed how they make as high as
$150 out of one-tenth of an acre.”
Governor Slaton became enthu
siastic when asked if & lentific farm
ing was being introduced In his State.
Our agricultural colleges an* do
ing great work in that direction.” he
replied.
'The results are more than grat
ifying. Should the boll weevil invade
Georgia an it has Texas, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama, we will »«
prepared to meet the situation by
early planted cotton, b> getting the
most resistive cotton and by diver
sification of the > rops.
Atmosphore of Good Cheer
Reverting to the prosperity of the
farmers, Governor Slaton said that
his only fear was that they might
become extravagant in the prodigality
of their resources.
“1 come from an atmosphere of
Optimism and good cheer," he as
serted.
“The Atlanta Georgian. Mr. Hears! s
paper In our State, is popular and
prospering.” he said. 'll knows the
ideals "<* the people and their aspi
rations. It has always been prompt
In rendering assistance to the needy
of Atlanta and the Slate of Georgia,
purely from a patriotic standpoint,
and 1 am glad to pay this tribute to
It."
When asked the object of his visit
to New York Governor Slaton said it
related to legislation to be passed.'to
refund $3.*79,0000 of the State Indebt
edness which falls due in the sum
mer of 1915.
Confidence in State.
“Our Constitution does not permit
the creation of any State debt at all."
he said, “nor does It permit the in
crease of the bonded indebtedness We
have reduced the bonds from $11,000-
000 to $6,000,000; and we have a rail
road running from Atlanta to Chat
tanooga that is pledged by the Con
stitution for anv debt of the Hta'e
So you will perceive that wo respect
our obligations and have ample se
curity.
"But what Is equal to It all Is the
product 1n the form of manhood. Host
Hummer when I wished to borrow half
a million dollars for the State uni 11
the taxes came 1n, the bankers were
paying 6 per cent in New York. The
hankers in Georgia loaned the money
to me for 3 per cent, indicating their
patriotism and absolute confidence In
the Slate."

nishing statement ered-
Commiasioner Hart, n.d-
». and pimlished in The
lay American, to the ef-
t exceeding ono-»eventh
rty value of the State Ih
ligest is not doubted ill
e bos; by those who are well In-
med ai to oottdlt low Ip my ptr
ular section of the State,” said a
-b - known'citizen and taxpayer of
»rt Valley to-day.
It is < tlmated that the total value
t )• property of Houston County
turned to the tax receiver and now*
the collector's (ligest is $3,080,037
ten, in fact, the true value of the
perty in the county is near, if not
quite, $25,000,000.
“The tax rote has been fixed at $18
per thousand, and even at this rate
it will require an economical admin
istration c»f the county’s affairs to
meet the necessary expenditures, but
It is hoped that a remedy will be
found In the operation of the new law
in reference to the appointment of
tax equalizers, which goes Into ef
fect next year.
“The Board of County Commission-
era of Houston meets in regular
monthly session In Perry to-day, and
among th# matters that will engage
their attention unquestionably the
most important is the selection of
the threr equalizers, as required by
the law. 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 Stab* 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 reveadd the fact that similar
conditions lo those In Houston exist
all over Georgia, and !h:it there Is a
desire upon the part of the people to
see them remedied. He believes the
law will effect a great general reform
In Georgia, and that within a year r
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.

New Atlanta City
Court Authorized
To Begin Its Work
Authorization to rent quarters and
employ sufficient deputy marshals
and clerks to carry on the work of
the new Municipal Court was grant
ed by the Board of County .Commis
sioners at the regular meeting Wed
nesday.
'Pile total estimated expense of
operating the Municipal Court, in
cluding the salaries of the five judges,
will be $6,300 against the expense of
$6,300 per rpnoth of the Justice
Court s
It Is estimated that the new court
will take in $6,600 per month, which
is based on tbe amount of cash now
being taken in by the Justice Courts.
The Justice Courts handle 3.000
cases a month. The number which
the Municipal Court will handle was
placed at 1.600 per month by Chief
Justice K. O. Thomas. That the now
court would net the county some
thing like $10,000 per month within
six months after it began operation
was the belief expressed by Commis
sioner Clifford I. Anderson.

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 first *of January. It
Will, therefore, be necessary for you
to press collections as rapidly ns 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 aide 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 treason'
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 jpst how much
Augusta lost by the 1908 flood actual
ly and an accurately estimated loss of
business resulting from the flood.
It will require a great deal of work
to get up the necessary information,
and at the next meeting of the River
and ('anal 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 1 he additional Federal aid nec
essary to complete the levee work.

temerity to present such an elabor
ate scenic melodrama as “Nobody’s
Claim,” the play that is being so suc

ca at.
Dixie Melodrama Popular.
Many Years ago Bartley Campbell
gave the stage a real melodrama, with
its scenes laid in the Southland. The
play was named "The White Slave.”
Year after year this attraction has
visited Atlanta, and lias always drawn
large and appreciative audiences. This
season's production is probably one
of the best that has ever beer given
and the play and tlie company with
out exception have been well select

Slave” will probably do capacity
business the entire week at the Lyric.
Good Bill at Forsyth.

tlie bill is a headliner in its particu
lar department, starting with the Viv

contains a lot of comedy. Miss Nor
ton and Paul Nicholson in a sketch
written by Miss Norton and what she

scream of an act. The last act, which
is the headliner, is Miss Orford, and
her Wonderful Elephants. This is the

elephants, who have been wonderful
ly trained, doing all manner of stunts
thought impossible for thes?e hnge

BRIEF VISIT
Unannounced and unattended,
Prince Julius Nicholas Loudowensky,
a member of the Russj^m nobility,
with his wife, visited Atlanta Wed
nesday morning. With the princess,
the prince walked from the Terminal
Station to Peachtree street and up
through the shopping district to the
Carnegie Library.
The princess stopped In a dry
goods store and purchased a 25-cent
box of face powder.
Prince Loudowensky Is connected
with the government library, and
lives at No. 26 The Strauevous. 9t.
Petersburg, Russia. With his wife,
he has been in America for eight
months. They have just returned
from the West and left Wednesday
noon for New York on the Southern.
To the Imaginative public, the
Russian noble would have been mis
taken for a Cincinnati barkeeper. He
says so himself, and smilingly ad
mits that he knows what they look
like.
Prince Load o wen sky is neither tall,
handsome nor the wearer of a Van-
Dyke beard. Instead, he is short, fat
and wears a wee bit of whiskers on
his chin and a small mustache.
"I like America very much,” said
Prince Loudowensky. “What I saw
of Atlanta looked very business-like,
and everybody was hustling here and
there as though in a great hurry.
“But that is typical of Americans
—they all seem in such a hurry to
do things, but—” he added
“Your President isn’t hurrying the
Mexican situation,” and the prince
laughed, but refused to express him
self further on this point.
His wife was a motherly looking
little lady, and proudly announced
that she has three children waiting
for her in St. Petersburg.
"I will be glad to get back to
them,” she declared.
Both the prince and his wife speak
excellent English, as well as Ger
man, French and Spanish.
Prince Loudowensky is 47 years
old.
They will return to Russia in the
next two months.

Can One Man Startle the
Whole World by the
Weirdness of His Suicide?
That’s what Gabriele D’Annunzio, the noted Italian'poet and
dramatist, promises to do, now that he has grown weary of all
human emotions, and Paris fears he will follow the example of
t lie < Ireek philosopher who hurled himself into the boiling cra
ter of Aetna. The complete story of this eccentric character’s
most eccentric plot will be told in
Next Sunday's American
With it will be a more cheerful page dealing with what the
stars foretell for
Two of the Most Interesting People in the

And continuing on the whole scale of human emotions comes
another installment of the most extraordinary human docu
ment ever written,
The Story of My Life by
Evelyn Thaw
News? Yes, all of it, from the most crowded metropolis to
the very borders of civilization. You can’t be up to the minute
