THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 16, 1396.
GEORGIANS BIG DEFICIT,
eady $300,000 Behind and
Heavy Appropriations Ahead.
Atlanta, Dec. 9.—As the ap
propriation bill stands, the state
treasury will be embarrassed next
year. There is an accumulated
deficit of $300,000 caused by a sys
tem of kiting; that is, by antici
pating the revenue. This deficit is
the accumulation of several years,
and is due to special appropria
tions, which have made
without making corres] gliding lev
ies of tax to raise the money. The
payments have been made by the
treasurer by borrowing from the
preceding year’s revenue reserved
for the last quarter, and repaying
when the levy is collected.
If all the increased appropria
tions were made available from the
beginning of 1897, there would be
a deficit of about $950,000. To
minimize this evil it is proposed
to make the added $400,000 for
schools available not until the
third quarter of 1897, and the
third quarter’s pay of teachers is
due Jan. 1, 1898, when tho rev
enue for 1897 will be in. This
will reduce the apparent deficit by
$300,000. It will leave the treas
ury $680,000 behind. When kiting
to this extent is attempted the
treasury will be seriously embar
rassed. The $300,000 deficit al
ready on hand delayed the pay
ment of tho third quarter’s school
fund from Oct. 1 until Dec. 1.
A member of the finance com
mittee said this morning that the
appropriations would probably bo
cut $250,000 by the house. This
would reduce tho rate of taxation
from 6.39 mills, the rate made nec
essary by the bill as reported, to
5.76 mills.
There is a whole volume of wis
dom in the following short para
from the Marietta Journal:
The man who studies a single
subject until he loses sight of ev
erything else is always in danger
of parting with his judgment.
When he does that, when he is en
tirely wrapped in a single idea, he
almsotinevitably developos what
unspecialized people call cranki
ness .

Cigarette Legislation.
Speaking of the recent attempt
; at passing an anti-cigarette law in
Alabama, the Atlanta Constitution
says:
We say hero that we sympatize
\ heartily with the ostensible object
| of anti-cigarette legislation, which
is to prevent young men and boys
from forming a useless habit, but
we do not at all agree with the
: spirit of such legislation. The
folly of it has not only been de
monstrated time and again, but
the essence of it is wrong. It is as
if all the fathers in the state de
sired to place the control of their
sons in the courts. Reduce the
matter to an individual case, and
the folly of it becomes apparent.
Every effort that has ever been
made to make tho law take the
place of family training and dis
cipline is bound to boa failure,
for the reason that the enforce
ment of any statute depends on
the approval, the consent and the
sympathy of tho community on
which it is intended to operate.
Local option owes all its success
to the fact that it represents the
consent of tho voters, and gives the
families of a community an oppor
tunity to strengthen their own
rules and regulations by adopting
prohibition, if they choose to do
so.
Let us hope that we have heard
the last of tho anti-cigarette bill,
and other such foolish legislation
in Alabama.
The Ideal Paneca.
James L. Francis, Aiderman,
Chicago, says: “I regard Dr.
King’s Now Discovery as an ideal
Panacea for Coughs, Colds and
Lung Complaints, having used it
in my family for tho last five
years, to the exclusion of physi
cian’s prescriptions or other prep
arations.”
Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, lo
wa, writes: “I have been a minis
ter of the Methodist Episcopal
church for 50 years or more, ard
have never found anything so ben
eficial that gave me such speedy
relief as Dr. King’s New Discov

Two tramps in a neighboring
town hit upon a novel plan to get
some whiskey. They went into a
saloon with a gallon jug and had
it filled with liquor and offered a
dollar in payment. Os course, the
bartender refused to accept the
money and emptied the liquor back
into the barrel and the tramps
took the jug and departed. Later
they were seen to break the jug
over a stone and squeeze out over
a pint of liquor from the sponges
which had been placed inside. —

TENACIOUS GRIPON LIFE.
A Georgian With 37 Bullet Holes
and Eight Stabs in His Body.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10. —One of the
most remarkable cases on record in the
medical annals of Georgia is reported
from Augusta. John Buzzard was shot
and stabbed by a man named Hender
son and bis sons at Saluda, Nov. 28. He
had thirty seven bullet holes in his body,
had received eight knife stabs and his
skull was fractured from blows indicted
by rocks. He was reported dead, and
great was the surprise when he shove 1
signs of life. More rem.uk.ible still,
Buzzard’s condition began to improve
and his physicians begin to entertain
hopes of his recovery.

An Entrance to the Under World
Discovered Near Rome.
Rosie, Ga., Dec., 9.—At Rock
mart, twenty miles south of here,
there is great excitement and resi
dents of that section are living in
mortal dread of an earthquake
Three weeks ago in a field near
town was a slight depression, some
two feet lower than the surround
ing country, on which grew a tree
Recently a man named Drummond’
who lives near the spot, noticed i
that the tree had disappeared, and
investigation revealed the fact that
a cave-in had taken place and the
top of the tree was below the level
of the surrounding country. A
short time afterwards there was a
loud rumbling noise, followed by
several severe shocks, and it was
found that the earth in the hole
had sunk to a depth of seventy-two
feet, and that a rushing torrent of
clear water was at tho bottom.
From time to time the earth a
round the edges of the continues
to fall in, until today the diame
ter of the hole, which is almost
circular, is sixty-eight feet. The
rumb ings continue and occasion
ally vapor rises from the abyss,
the waler being much colder than
the surrounding atmosphere. The
effect of the vapor cloud is to give
tt e hole the appearance of the cra
ter of a volcano, and those who
are superstitious are living in ter
ror. It is only a “cave-in,” which
occurs frequently in limestone
countries, and no further damage
is anticipated.
Speaking of the woful neglect of
the graves of dead Confederate sol
diers, in comparison with money
lavishly expended on the Federal
cemeteries, Joe Johnston in the At
lanta Journal, says:
Why should the flag wave on the
crest of one hill and not on the
other? Why do bright flowers
bloom around the tombs of those
and not around the graves of these?
Why should fragrance be wafted
on the breezes that blow through
the trees on the hill while malodor
in flung out by the same fair wind
when it reaches the other spot?
Why, in the name of all the brave
that ever died and all the wars ev
er waged for country’s sake, should
the graves of Confederate soldiers,
dug in the same soil that gave
them birth, side by side with the
men who shot them down in bat
tle, lying dead under the shadow
of their own hearthstones, why,
veterans and sons of veterans, why
all sons and all daughters, why do
briers grow where roses’ blooms
should Mow?

VENEZUELA ACCEPTS.
She Agrees to the Arbitration of
the Long-Standing Bound

Washington, Dec. 17.—Secreta

gram from Senor Andrade, the
Venezuelan minister to Washing
ton, who is now in Caracas, stating
that the Venezuelan government
has accepted the agreement'reach
ed by the United States and Great
Britain for the arbitration of the
boundary dispute.
The dispatch further states that

congress has been called to consid

Women as Librarians.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10.—The state
senate today passed the bill making
women eligible to the office of state li
brarian. As the measure had already
gone through the house, only the Gov
ernor’s signature is wanting to make it
a law. It is confidently expected the
governor "will approve the bill and un
der its operations, appoint Miss Ellen
Dortch, its real author, to the office.
We all know that any tired mus
cle can be restored by rest. Your
stomach is a muscle. Dyspepsia
is its manner of saying “I am tir

stomach you must do its work out
side of the body.
This is the Shaker’s method of
curing indigestion, and its success
is best attested by the fact that
these people are practically free
from what is without doubt the
most prevalent of all diseases. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains digested food which is
promptly absorbed without taxing
the tired digestive organs, but it
is likewise an aid to the digestion
of other foods in the stomach. A
10 cent trial bottle will convince
you of its merit, and these you can
obtain through all druggists.
