City Lives Within Budget
First Six Months, Report Shows
NUMBER 45
The City Council was pleased with
the operation of tho business of MU*
ledgeville for the f»r»t six months
this year after they had heard a
semi-annual statement read by City
Clerk and iTkeasurer Lamar Ham
the regular meeting of the council
Monday night.
The report * showed that the city
had exceeded the prepared budget
for the period by $734.46 in operat
ing expenses. This waa due to un
expected expenses that had not been
allowed for, Mr. Ham explained. The
total income from all sources includ
ing the water department for the
period from January 1 to June 30th,
was $28,937.34. The operating costs
was $18,250.00. 1916 sinking fund
for bonds has been set aside and
regular payments have been made
from the school fund.
The city adopted the budget plan
in January and approved a budget
for each department of the city.
The chairman of the various de
partments were urged to keep the
operating costs within the estimated
income of the city.
The council passed on routine
matters after the report had been
read. The meeting was devoted
practically entirely to the Tegular
business.

Georgians Spend Old Time
Fourth As Candidates Speak
B«rt Collier, 5p*f*al Writer
(G. N. A.)
Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia had real
fireworks this Independence Day-
fireworks provided by four outbursts
of inspired oratory that raised
fever heat the already hectic c*
paign to determine the next Gover
nor of Georgia.
Governor Talmadge launched his
campaign July 4th with a speech st
Bainbridge, heard by one of the
largest crowds of voters ever to
gether in southwest Georgra. As he
was making his first public appc.l in
the campaign. Claude Pittman, his
opponent, was delivering at Warm
Springs an address that brought
back the days when political oiatory
was the chief glory of the Independ
ence Day celebrations.
Two other speakers shared the spot-
light in theic discussion of the Rohere
nntortnl situntion—Ed A. '0»1>J*"|-
the third candidate speaking at Stone
Mountain and William Schley How-
nrd. Atlanta attorney, addressing a
large crowd in Pittman’s behalf at
Lithia Springs.
All ttvs activity brought
climn* one of the
„d, of t
.vering and unexpected
Governor Tstmudgo guarded hi,
speech closely until shortly before
he mounted She Tostreim « the
irilbant celebration at Bainbridge.
Rut the crowd of many thousands
knew what to cxpect-a good show born
and mercy for no enemy. Talmadge
supporters were there in force from
eve»y part of Georgia, and there
were many citizens of Alabama and
Florida also, attracted by the fame
of Georgia’s governor, slayer of red
tape and precedents.
The celebration at Warm Springs
where Judge Pittman spoke took or
the aspect of a tribute to Fraklin D
Roosevelt. In glowing terms Judge
Pittman described the great service
to this nation and to humanity done
by this adopted Georgian, and Bald:
When I am elected Governor
Georgia will go down the line with
Roosevelt. We will cooperate with
bis administration in its efforts to
relieve human suffering bring back
a living wage to labor and a living
i • to the farmer for his products.”
Judge Pittman decried the pass
ing of the old-fashioned Fourth of
July celebrations when patriotism
was reasserted and faith in our na
tion rekindled. "In the hustle and
the bu»tle of the past few years,” he
“we seem to have buried the
fire of patriotism under the ashes
of common self-seeking. We *eem to
forgotten how our forefathers j
sacrificed fortunes, homes and life,
itself, on tho altar of liberty in tb-j
struggle against tyranny and despo-,
tism.”
By a strange irony, Judge Pitt
man said, conditions against which
our forefathers fought
