Recovery From Influenza
Hastened by
PE-RU-NA
Mr. C. A. Allen, R. R. No. 2,
Bondurant, Iowa, gives testimony
to the healing power of Pe-ru-na.
Influenza left him much run down
in health with catarrh of the nose,
throat and bronichal tubes punct¬
uated with attacks of asthma. He
writes:
“While recovering from the In¬
fluenza I was so weak I could not
gain any strength for two months.
The latter part of the winter, I
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na and
began taking it. My weight in¬
creased to 175 pounds, the most I
ever weighed.
My usual winter weight is 155.
If you can use this letter for any
good, you are perfectly welcome.”
Such evidence cannot fail to con¬
vince the rankest unbeliever of the
merits of Pe-ru-na.
Insist upon having the old and
original remedy for catarrhal con-*
ditions.

Child Labor Bill Passed By Single
Vote in Senate.
Atlanta.—Saved from defeat by one
vote, the child labor bill passed the
senate by a vote of 28 to 14, together
with several amendments. The »>!!»
was immediately transmitted to the
house for concurrence in the amend¬
ments, it having already passed the
lower tody.
Another feature of the session was
the passage also by a narrow margin
of the bill prohibiting women from
working at night. There was outspok¬
en opposition to this bill from a num¬
ber oi senate leaders, but its sup¬
porters managed to rally enough votes
for passage The only other bill which
passed ai the meeting was a measure
by Senator Miller to create a lien

Senate Approves Crisp County Plan
For Water Power
Consideration of two constitutionaj
amendment occupied Dearly an entire
morning session of the senate, one
falling of passage and the other pass¬
ing by an overwhelming majority.
Senator Foster’s amendment to
the Constitution allowing counties to
form themselves into highway bond
districts lost by a vote of 21 to 22
after considerable debate. Senator
Fosttfr gave notice that he would later
move for a reconsideration.
By a vote of 42 to 2 the senate
passed a constitutional amendment
authorizing Crisp county to issu«
$1,250,000 worth of bonds for the con¬
struction of a dam and a hydro-elec¬
tric power plant on the Flint river
between Drayton and Burke’s ferry.
This proposal contemplates a venture
which is an innovation in Georgia—*
that is, the entrance into the hydro¬
electric field of a whole county. Many
municipalities throughout the state
operate their own electric power plant,
but this is the first time in the his¬
tory of Georgia that a county has at¬
tempted such a project.

Classification Tax Bill Is Passed By
The House
The classification tax bill giving
the legislature the right to classify
property for taxation and to fix dif¬
fering rates for the classes into
which property is segregated was
passed by the house of repfesenta
tives the other afternoon by a vote
of 149 to 42. The bill will be trans¬
mitted to the senate immediately.
As soon as the classification tax
bill was disposed of. Speaker Neill
announced that the income tax bill
would be taken up at a later afternoon
session, and a vote on the income tax
measure would be ordered by the
rules committee.
Before reaching a vote on the clas¬
sification tax measure, the house had
adopted a substitute bill that had been
offered by a sub-committee of sup¬
porters of the measure, increasing the
maximum tax rate on property from
five mills with the provision that five
mills should be used for state pij-
iposes and five mills for county and
local purposes.

Income Tax Ban Offered In House
Introduction of an amendment to
the classification tax bill which would
bar Georgia from ever imposing a state
income tax featured a debate In the
house which occupied an entire ses¬
sion.
Representatives Hooper of Fulton,
Barrett of Stephens, Davis of DeKalb
Weekes of DeKalb and Hamilton of
Floyd are authors of the amendment
which would write into the state Con¬
stitution a specific denial of any leg¬
islative authority to impose an income
tax for state revenue purposes.
The classification tax bill, a consti¬
tutional amendment to allow future
legislatures to classify property for
taxation, with a view to reaching in¬
tangible properties which now entire¬
ly escape the tax digests, was debated
but on a resolution adopted at that
time its final settlement was deferred
until a later date.
There is no question that the de¬
bate will be resumed.
According to the calendar adopted
by the rules committee, the next meas¬
ure to be taken up after disposal of
this bili is a proposal for a state in¬
come tax. However, if the amendment
barring such a tax is adpoted, there
will be uo further need for debate on
that bill.

RECORD TOBACCO
CROP IS REPOSTED
STiLL FURTHER HEAVY SLUMP
IN PEANUTS FORECAST—PE¬
CAN OUTLOOK FINE
STATE NEWSJF INTEREST
Newsy Paragraphs Gathered Through¬
out The State For The Benefit
Of Our Readers
Atlanta.—According to the monthly
crop report issued recently by the
Georgia Co-operative Crop Reporting
Service of the United States bureau
of agriculture of economics, a short¬
age is estimated for the 1925 corn
crop in the state. A great increase
in the production of tobacco is fore¬
cast.
Peanuts, according to the report,
have experienced a heavy decline dur¬
ing the last month. The report fol¬
lows:
Prospects for the 1925 crop
cate a production of 45,573,000 bush¬
els. which is over 4,500,000 bushels
short of last year and 7,900,000 bush¬
els below the five - year average pro¬
duction.
Tho low corn condition figure re¬
ported for the state is due largely
to very poor prospects in a great pan
of the Piedmont section because of
the prolonged drought. Except in a
few favored localities the crop is very
sorry and, in most instances, practi¬
cally a failure in the northern part
of the state. In most of this area
rafn3 have been very spotted and in¬
adequate since planting.
From a standpoint of production,
this is distinctly a south Georgia year,
the condition in this area being fair
to very good, although late corn has
deteriorated somewhat in the last two
weeks. The main corn crop in this
part of the state is practically made
and good yields are expected.
Production for the United States is
over 500,000,000 bushels greater than
the 1924 crop, the figure being nearly
3,000,000 bushels against abou?
2.500.000 bushels last year.
The largest tobacco crop ever pro¬
duced in Georgia started through mar¬
keting channels July 28, the opening
date of warehouse sales. Indicated
production will total somewhat un¬
der 60,000,000 pounds, according to
reports of correspondents. There are
44 warehouses being operated this
year against 18 in 1924. The aver¬
age price per pound received this year
for the first two weeks is somewhat
lower than for the corresponding pe¬
riod last year.
However, quality of the crop mar¬
keted to the present is not considered
equal to that of last year, but is im¬
proving with advance of the season,
as the first of the crop is always of
lower grade than the later offerings.
Figures for 1925 and 1924, respect¬
ively, for North and South Carolina
are: North Carolina, 297,184,900 and
278.320.000 pounds; South Carolina
65.988.000 pounds against 41,360,000
pounds. United States production is*
estimated at 1,234,096,000 pounds
jgainst 1,242,623,000 pounds In 1924.
Peanuts have experienced a heavy
decline during the last month, and thi3
deterioration in condition, together
with a 25 per cent reduction in acre¬
age from last year, indicates a yield
of 525 pounds per acre, with a total
production of 77,700,000 pounds, as
compared with 118,800,000 pounds iu
1924.

der per month. This is approximate¬
ly one murder to every 2,976 persons

manager of waterworks, and B. Gra
ham Wed, city comptroller, as tho
result, of action of the finance com¬
mittee of council in referring the pro¬
posal to them for investigation. Of¬

nance committee, and it is practically
certain that the decision reached by
them will be recommended to coun¬
