STATE NEWSJF INTEREST
Brief New* Item* Gathered Here And
Thera From All Sectlona Of
I The Btate
Atlanta.—" Bankruptcy rings,” or
groups of attorneys who have taken
unfair advantage of the indifference ol
creditors, or other weaknesses In ad
ministration, and are using the bank
ruptcy law for selfish ends, were con
demned In a report submitted at the
session of the National Association ol
Credit Men here by the bankruptcy
law committee of the association.
This committee has made extensive
study of the bankruptcy situation
throughout the past year.
"It Is a glaring fact,” says the re
port, “that creditors have not used
the law as It was Intended to be used;
claims are filed direct with referees;
meetings of creditors are but natural
that these defects should be noticed
and taken advantage of by not neglect
ing to attend them; nothing Is done
to protect their Interest. It is, there
fore, the selfish or Indecently Inclined
attorney and by fraudulently disposed
creditors that bring about such a sit
uation.
"In conjunction with the efforts wo
have made and will continue to make,”
the report continues, "for obtaining
Deeded amendments to the law and for
Its Improved administration, nothing
would assure greater usefulness for
the bankruptcy law than for the cred
itors to use It and demand the appli
cation of Its provisions In every case
Where they were Interested.”

now have, and really need them be

"Well, I was brought here last eve
ning,” said the cow. “And I must say
I am a fine-looking animal.
“I can move my head and I can
say moo, and every once In awhile
I look around the stable I'm In to see
If the master Is coming to milk me.”
“Ah, look at me,” said the Giant,
as he looked oat of a window. "Crea
tures have to come ap on a rope to
see me, for I’m so high ap.
“Santa Clans said the children
would laugh when they saw me, and
they have laughed. Of course I’m
Just for decoration.
"We big toys are all mostly for dec
oration and to make the Christmas
season look gay and fine.
“My home is called the ‘Giant's
Palace.’ I think it Is a good name for
It.
“How the children did laugh yes
terduy, who were In the store when
they saw the things being sent up to
me. I had my groceries all sent up
to me by a rope, and I looked out of
my window and they could see that
my feet were touching the ground
from where the small creatures were,
and yet that my head was way up
here.
“I am certainly very tall. And I
have fine machinery in me, for I can
look out of the window every so often.
"1 Looked Out."
and the visitors or the groceries are
brought up to me every so often.
“We all move Just so.”
“Have you seen my green eyes which
move?” asked the toy cat. “For if
you haven’t you should take a look
at them now. They are well worth
looking at.
“And have you seen the way I can
move my toil? Very smart, very
smart.”
“Ah, you huven’t seen all of us,"
said the Windmills. There were a
number of Windmills about and one
of the Windmills boasted that there
were more still in the shop’s front
window.
“There are waterfalls, too," said a
little wooden toy girl who was getting
water which was make-believe In a
bucket at a make-believe spring.
“But we are like the old story of
the Cow Jumping over the Moon,” said
another cow. “You see how I jump
over the moon? And the cat is here
with the fiddle, too.
“There is the little dog and all.”
“We’re here,” said the submarines.
“We have to stay under the water
so much we were afraid you didn’t
notice us.
“But we’re here, very much here."
"We’re here, too," said the air
planes. “And some of those creatures
they call boys admire us greatly.
“Oh, yes, we’re much admired.”
"I’m Jack,” said another creature,
"and there Is my beanstalk, too!
“Oh, yes, all the old favorites are
here. How that dog, yonder, does wag
hi* tall."
“Of course I do, I’m made with ex
cellent machinery,” said the dog.
“We’re here,” said the automobiles.
“So are we," said the motor trucks.
“And we are, too," said the ships.
“They musn’t forget about us,” suld
the sailboats.
“Nor about us,’’ said the lambs.
"Someone called me a little pup
today,” said the toy pomeranlan dog.
“If any of the real pomeranlan* had
heard that they would have been mad.
“They wouldn’t like being called
pups, oh no, Indeed. They put on all
sorts of airs and graces!
"But we don’t. We are much more
simple in our ways. Of course as
welre not real, we can’t do more than
we’re supposed to do.”
“Isn’t Christmas exciting?” said a
little red shovel. “I hope to get out
Into the snow soon. I had a
great-great grandfather who belonged
to a little girl, Santa told me as he
was making me, and She loved her
little red snow shovel better than any
other Christmas present and kept It
for years and years and years.”
“Ah, Christmas is so exciting," said
the rest of the toys. “Think of the
excitement yet to come, too. It has
only half begun, so much more Is yet
to come!”
Foregoing to Bed.
The pupils In the sixth grade of the
Emerson school were Instructed to use
the word “going” and “foregoing" In
sentences. No difficulty was had In
using “going” correctly, hut “forego
ing” was more difficult. Finally one
little fellow said he had a sentence.
This Is what he wrote: “The boy ate
an apple foregoing to bed.”—lndlitn

•i have had trouble with J
an Inactive liver,” wrote Mrs. j
S. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer |
St., Houston, Texas. ‘‘When I
I would get constipated, I would j
feel a light, dizzy feeling in my j
head. To get up in the morning I
with a lightness in the head and |
a trembly feeling is often a sign j
that the stomach is out of order. I
For this I took Thedford's
Black-Draught, and without a j
doubt can say I have never |
found its equal in any liver |
medicine. It not only cleans j
the liver, but leaves you in such I
a good condition. I have used I
it a long time, when food does J
not seem to set well, or the
stomach is a little sour.” !
