SIDELIGHTS on
GEORGIA ;
POLITICS J
fir JAMIS B. NEVIN
by JAMES B. NEVIN.
The more Secretary of State Phil
Cook pores over the “blue sky” law
passed by the I/eglslature last year,
the better he likes it and the more
sure he becomes that it was not
e nac ted a day too soon. And, inci
dentally, it may be mentioned that
the blue sky" law has kept the Sec
retary from "fair to middling busy”
thus far!
“Thia la-w, while hs yet In a mea
sure imperfect, as new and experi
mental laws generally are,” said the
Secretary to-day, “still is, in my opin
ion, one of the very best and sanest
law's ever passed by a Georgia Gen
eral Assembly. I understand that its
author, Representative Wohlwender,
of Muscogee, intends proposing some
necessary amendments during the
summer session of the Legislature
ahead, and so ] presume the law will
be perfected then.
“As for myself, I think I had little
idea of the many get-rich-quick
schemes in operation in Georgia,
when this law was passed. I have
beep literally swamped with petitions
for now ones, even with the law on
the statute books, where all promot
ers may read it in advance of their
efforts to operate. Now, under this
new law, it is impossible, unless ille
gally undertaken, to get by in Geor
gia with a swindling "•Mitock sale
scheme of any nature.
“The ’blue sky’ law Is pretty strict.
It makes it extremely dangerous for
J. Rufus Wallingfords, and their ilk,
to ply their questionable trades in
Georgia
“And not only that, it has had the
happy effect of straightening out and
readjusting some phases of perfectly
legitimate business in Georgia, that,
for one reason and another had got
ten into the wrong rut."
A great deal has been spoken and
written in Georgia lately concerning
rural credits and kindred subjects.
Not many laymen know what “rural
credits' means, and not many bank
ers take the trouble to explain or
comment upon the same.
Mr W. B Hunt, of Eatonton, a
former president of the Georgia Bank
ers Association and the chairman of
the rural credits committee of the
State Chamber of Commerce, talks
interestingly of the present method
or registering land titles, and the
effect it has upon banking and finan
cial transactions in general
Because of the ban upon land as
collateral, the farmer usually pays
ask raping interest rate. As a
matter of fact, since land is the basis
of ail values. It should under proper
conditions furnish a gilt-edged se
• urity for low interest loans,” says
Mr, Hunt in this connection.
But n.s long as land titles are in
l.- ir .haotlc shape, as in Georgia,
.i least as long as the tracing of titles
• an expensive and arduous process,
we are going to find our path to rural
credits strewn with impediments.
' The Torrens land title system, by
which the State guarantees the title,
exacting a nominal fee in return, is
the sensible remedy. At this very

|a
time I have in my employ a lawyer
who has been for the past week en
deavoring to find out how stands the
title to a plantation in my county,
and he dally answers my impatient
Inquiries, that he has not yet finished
the search. When he shall finally
present me with a chain of title, all
the work done will serve me alone.
Should tiit* owner desire to borrow of
a loan company in Macon or Atlanta,
another lawyer would duplicate the
work of him I pay. And this waste
of human labor has gone on with no
book In which to file copies of chains
of title duplicated and repeated from
year to year.
“Each search of titles costs the bor
rower an attorney’s fee. which, when
added to the lowest rate of Interest,
causes the Georgia land owner to pay
a higher rate for money borrowed
than any economist can afford.
“To obtain money on land at low
rate of interest, perfect titles must
first be exhibited to the lender In
Georgia a truly perfect title is hard
Indeed to find.
“Why must Georgia lag behind our
sister State of North Carolina, and
even the so-called conservative
Northern States, which have written
the Torrens land title system into the
codes?”
The wisdom of adopting in Georgia
the so-called “Torrens system” of
registering land titles has been agi
tated in the Legislature, but nothing
so far has come of it. It is under
stood that this summer, however, a
well-known and influential South
Georgia member will Introduce a blh
looking to its adoption In this State,
and he thinks h»* has a good chance
to pass the measure, moreover!
Representative Howard Ennis, of
Baldwin County. in Atlanta for a
few days. He is district deputy grand
exalted ruler of the Elka fur North
Georgia, and his visit here is in offi
cial connection with that order, and
entirely devoid of political signifi
cance.
Mr. Ennis already has announced
his candidacy for re-election to the
House, and likely will have no oppo
sition. His present term of service is
only half over, but he has established
a well-deserved reputation for sanity
and rational conservatism in the
House, and his return to the next
Legislature would seem to be entirely
in order.
He is a well-known business man
of Milledgeville, and has a strong fol
lowing throughout al! that section.
Honorable Seaborn Wright went to
Hawkinsville a feu days ago “to
clean out th-* near-beer saloons,” but
when he got there the cupboard was
bare —or words to that effect any
way, there are no near-beer saloons
in Hawkinsville, and haven't been for
man\ moons, and so the Roman
statesman had to change his topic of
conversation for the time being.
He was introduced t< a large au
dience by the Honorable Pope Brown,
and spoke eloquently <»n temperance
legislation and trend in
throughout the country.
It appears that Colonel Pope Brown
some time ago took over the job of
making a near-beerless burg of Haw
kinsville, with great and conspicuous
success.

Dressing for Breakfast.
An early morning blase at the At

lege on West Hunter street, dam
aged the kitchen end us the girls’ dor
mitory’ and drove about 100 girls
screaming from the building while
they w»*re dressing for breakfast
The girls’ dormitory is one of seven
large brick buildings surrounding the
campus. TKe fire started in a defec

and in a few minutes a brisk blaze
was spreading through that end of the
building and the rest of it was filled
with sin<>ke.
The girls ran through the corridors,
arousing those who were not inform

for help. In a short time the build

rying to the shelter of other build
ings, shivering in the sharp air.
Fast and hard work by the fire de

of the structure, where it originated,
and saved most us the building, which
at first appeared to be doomed. The
damage, considering the swiftness of
the fire In spreading, was compara

From Winter Chills Come Kidney Ills
"Every Picture
Tells a Story
Are YOUR Kidneys Weak?
HOW TO TELL. First read the testimony and learn what
Doan’s Kidney Pills have done for others.
Then if your back aches, if sharp pains strike you w hen stooping
or lifting; if you are lame in the morning, tire too easily: if you have
dizzy s]>ells and are nervous, despondent and inclined to worry over
trifles: if the kidney secretions are highly colored and full of sedi
ment. If passages are too frequent, scanty, painful or scalding, it is
likely that your kidneys need quick attention.
If a sample of the urine, after standing 24 hours, shows a sandy,
brick-dust like sediment settled at the bottom of the receptacle,
there is evidence enough to suspect the kidneys.

Chilly, damp, changing weather is hard on the kidneys. Even more irritating
are colds, grip, pneumonia, tonsilitis, quinsy and other infections. The kidneys
get congested and inflamed, and this causes backache and disordered kidney ac
tion. Though serious in its later stages, kidney disease is not hard to conquer if
a good kidney .remedy is used when the first signs of kidney trouble are noticed.
The best recommended kidney remedy in the world is Doans Kidney Pills.
You hear it everywhere. Get a box.

Peachtree street, Atlanta, Ga., says:
“I had different symptoms of kidney

remedies without being benefited. I
saw Doan’s Kidney T’ills so highly ad
vertised and recommended by people
T knew that I got a supply at the Elkin-

right away. Since then when I have
had any signs of kidney trouble, I have
been quickly relieved by Doan’s Kid

taken Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on

helped me I used to be troubled by
my limbs swelling and I had a deep
seated pain in my right hip that ex
tended across my back. Often I got
so dizzy that I couldn’t tell where I
was going and everything seemed
black in front of me. Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me relief a« soon as I
started taking them and they have
never failed to help me when I have
used them since.”
