Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours;
«a brick dust sedi
ment, or settling,
stringy or milky
appearance often
indicates an un
healthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; too fre
quent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back are also symptoms that tell you
the kidneys and bladder are out of order
and need attention.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s

rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remark able

REVISION OF TAX LAWS.
Hart Says Tax System of Geor
gia is Behind the Times
Atlanta, Ga.—“ Little more Gian
pawning around the hat for con
tributions,’’ is the way Attorney
General John C. Hart character
izes the Georgia tax laws in his
annual nqtort just out.
Georgia’s taxing system and
methods, he points out. are more
than a century old and he thinks
it about time to begin the work
of bringing them up to date.
With a legal requirement that
property everywhere in the state
shall be returned at its market
value, tax receivers accept it at
anfywlrere from 25 to 65 per cent
sometimes less and seldom
more —according to their way of
looking at it.
“We have recently made some
progress in amending our tax
laws,’’ Judge Hart says, “ but a
study of them will demonstrate
very conclusively they are inade
quate to present tiifies and condi
tions.
“The machinery and methods
of collection of taxes today in
Georgia are over a hundred years
old,. The returns are practical
ly voluntary and amount to but
little more than passing around
the hat for contributions.
“There should be established
in Georgia a state board of equal
izers and in each county a board
of assessors, to the end tluat tax
es are equitably imposed and col
lected.
’’Georgia’s taxable values
amount to seven hundred and five
millions, as returned by the tax
[layers yet it will scarcely be
doubted if all the property in
the state was returned at its val
ue the volume of property would
be doubled.
“If every property owner in
Georgia measured up to the duty
required of him by the law in
making his return for taxation,
the treasury would be relieved of
its embarrassment and Georgia
would meet her appropriations
promptly.
“The administration of govern
ment depends solely on taxation.
The average man looks upon tax
es as a burden for which he re
ceives nothing in return and,
therefore, feels at liberty to re
sort to any and every means to
avoid this burden. As a matter
of fact He gets more byway of
dividends for his contribution to
the support of government than
any, even his most favored finan
cial ventured. He must look to
the government to protect him
in the enjoyment of life, liberty
and property, and but for the
taxes annually contributed by
means of which 1 the government
is sustained, anarchy and chaos
would reign.
“It is essential of the stability
of government and the public
safety, peace and tranquility that
the power to tax be preserved
and machinery should be provid
ed to the end that each piece of
property shall contribute to the
support of the government de
signed for its protection, propor
tionately to its value.
“There are thousands of men
in Georgia who return their prop
erty as the law' requires it—at
its value—and there are thous
ands who do not return it at half
its value, and thousands, no doubt
who do not return it at all, and
under such state of facts, the re
mit is the bunlens of the dishon
est man are borne by the hon
est. This ought not to be, and
as stated, may be remedied very
largely by the creation of county
assessors and a state board of
cqualixers. ’ ’
“Legislation of this class has
been frequently recommended am
■ow and then considered by the.
legislature but no definite re
sults have yet been reached.
“It is possible that the gradu
ally increasing emlmrrassment of
the state treasury may soon stimn
latt legislative action, as a result
of the unquestioned necessity of
providing sufficient funds to
meet the appropriations which
the legsilature makes.’’

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1909.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
Perhaps it is about time I send
you a line from this part of the
country, and if you think it
worthy you can print it in The
News.
The News is one of the most wel
come visitors, for it seems like
seeing some one from home. And
let me tell you, we have been hert
now five months and have not
met one familiar face, and 1 have
come to the conclusion that I
would like to see even a dog
from old Georgia.
Well, we are having fine weath
er here now and I have been inov
ing about some. Last week we
took the steamer for Victoria, B.
and had one of the finest and
most enjoyable trips I have ever
taken. We sailed from the Col
man Dock on the Steamer Chip
pywa—a large vessel of one of
the many lines leaving the wa
ter front of this city. Victoria is
in Canada, down the Puget Sound
and across the straits of Juan de
Fuea, and there we leave Uncle
Sam’s country and enter Johny
Bull’s domain. And let me say
that Victoria is a typical Eng
lish city of 25,0(10, a very nice
little city and as clean as any
one could wish to look at. They
have some fine buildings there,
fine parks, museum, drives, tallah
lines etc. and all so much Eng
lish that they all take the left
hand side of the walks. But the
trip there and return was every
thing you could wish for. The
sound runs along between two
ranges of mountains—the Olym
pic and the Cascades —all snow
capped heads summer and win
ter, and the sound is very nar
row. It looks like one can al
most reach them. We called al
Port Townsend and on the other
side is Port Angeles. The long
string of disappearing guns make
it look difficult for any strong
ship or ships to pass them with
out being in a lot of trouble. But
we sure did enjoy the trip. We
got home to Seattle about 10:30
p. m. and our verdict was a well
spent day.
The following day we took an
other steamer, en route for Ta
coma, another fine little city of
about twenty thousand and a
great shipping point for lumber;
about 30 miles from Seattle and
has a big smelter where they
smelt ore from the gold mines in
Alaska and other points in the
Northwest. There is an
electric road from here to Ta
coma, a train every hour during
the day.
Well, our great world’s fair
is all ready and waiting for June
the first to come when President
Taft, will turn the golden key
that starts the wheels rolling and
June the first will be a day long
to be remembered in Seattle.
Every whistle, every bell and ev
erything that can make a noise
will be turned loose and every
flag will be hoisted and the city
will put on her Sunday attire and
have a full holiday. This is go
ing to be the best world's fair
that was ever held in the U. S.
It is the most beautiful grounds
I ever saw and like this city is
a wonder.
Since writing the above we
took a ride over and visited the
Exposition grounds to see what
has been done since we were
there a month ago and they have
done wonders upon wonders. Ev
erything is nearly finished. They
are ornamenting the stalls for the
exhibits and placing them in po
sition and completing a few
places on the Pay Streak (or pike’
a mile and a quarter long, ending
at Lake Union where they have
a complete life saving station - of
Uncle Sam's ready for business.
5 estenlay tliiey put up the long
est flag pole in the world, one
single stick two hundred feet
high. The flag for the pole is
!(>(• by 75 feet and is a daisy. 1
tell you, one building there (the
Forestry building) is the pride
ot the exposition. It is built of
fir logs set on end 60 feet long
and nearly all of them five feet
in diameter with the bark on. I
think the building is 200 feet
long with a balcony on the top.
I wish I could tell you all about
the beautiful things that are here
but space will not permit. The
v. hole grounds arc adorned with
flowers, beautiful lawns, etc.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Commissioners of North Georgia
Counties to Meet in
Rome July 3.
A convention of the county com
missionres of North Georgia and
a grand good roads rally in Rome
is what is scheduled for Saturday ■
July 3, says the Tribune-Herald
Formal action to this effect .
was taken at a meeting of the
Good Roads committee of the
Manufacturers and Merchants As
soeiation Saturday afternoon. The
feature of the convention will be
a mass meeting of the people of
the Seventh district and Floyd
county at the court house on Sat
urday morning. This meeting
will be addressed by Judge Mo
ses Wright and other prominent
men of Georgia. Mr. Wright had
an invitation to make the chief
address by Chairman John H.
Reynolds Saturday afternoon,
and immediately signified his ac
ceptance. Judge Wright is one
of the best speakers in Georgia,
and he is an enthusiastic advo
cate of good roads and especial
ly of good roads in Floyd county.
Tide Good Roads committee of
the Manufacturers and Merchants
Association of Floyd county, to
which a number of prominent
farmers belong, will be the hosts
of the occasion. This committee
will tender a banquet dinner to
the visiting county commission
ers and to a few other
distinguished guests. The
dinner will be held at 1 o’clock
in the private dining room of the
Cherokee hotel. After the fruits
and vegetables have been dispos
ed of, the commissioners wil en
gage in consideration of how it
is the best to get co-operation be
tween the different counties in
building roads. It is probable
the commissioners will organize
an association of North Georgia
county commissioners and will
elect permanent officers. Among
those who will be invited to din
ner are the commissioners of
Floyd, Chattooga, Walker, Polk,
Paulding, Bartow, Cobb and Gor
don counties.
