Governor Smith wil recommend
in his parting message to the leg
islature, the institution of legal
proceedings to recover from the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad eight acres of
land in the heart of Chattanooga
which was deeded to the railroad
in 1860 in consideration of a pay
ment of SB,OOO. The property is
now worth at the lowest estimate
a million and a half, and. it is
believed, the state can easily re
cover in the courts, if her claim
is not barred by the statute of
limitation Governor Smith, At
torney General Hart and special
counsel engaged by the governor
to assist the attorney general
have given the matter careful
study, and the governor’s recom
mendation in his mess.ig! will
hinge upon data that has been
thus gathered.
Women Who are Envied.
Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will
be nervous and irritable. Constipa
•ion or Kidney poisons show in pim
ples blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. For all such,
Hlc.Xric Bitters work wonders. They
regulate Stomach, Liver and Kidneys
purify the blood; give strong nerves,
bright eyes, pure breath, smooth, vel
vety skin, lovely complexion. Many
charming women owe their health
and beauty to them. 50c at Summer

BROWN EYES
In an opinion rendered Tues
day, the court of appeals holds
that a transfer of whiskey, upon
a promise of pay at some future
day, constitutes a legal sale, ami
is therefore in violation of the
prohibition law. W. S. Finch, of
Rome, was convicted of violat
ing the statute, and appealed the
case on the ground that he re
ceived no money for the whiskey
be was alleged to have sold. ’1 his
point was overruled, but the
court reversed the decision be
cause of the introduction at the
trial of irrelevant testimony cal
culated to be prejudicial, and
Finch will get a new trial.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
WOULD ISSUE BONDS
TO PAY TEACHERS.
Gov-Elect Brown Gives His
Views on the Subject
Governor-elect Joseph AL Prown
advocates the insuanee of bonds
for the payment of teachers’ sal
aries. Air. Brown outlined his
policy in an address at Elberton.
He said in part:
“I suggest that we take at
once the necessary steps to catch
up with our school fund and pay
every public teacher in Georgia,
his or her salary monthly. It is
impracticable for us to collect in
one year the necessary sum from
taxation and accomplish this re
sult, and it would be almost crim
inal for us to stop the schools of
Georgia to enable us to catch up
with our funds. What, then,
must we do? What will first
suggest itself to every business
man who calmly considers this
condition should he be confront
ed with like conditions in his
own business affairs? He would
at ongfi take the necessary steps
to raise the money by the use of
his cfedit. 1 propose that we
handle in like manner for the
state and for the teachers the
situation that now confronts us,
and utilize the credit of the state
to relieve the condition. The leg
islature at its coming session
should propose and submit to
the pv3p!t‘..M t his state an amend
ment to the author
izing the issuance of about'>r<?JJU
000 of bonds, the proceeds m
which' should be used to create a
permanent loan fund to In* loan
ed every spring to the school fund
for the payment of the teachres’
salaries and returned to this
loan fund in December when the
taxes are collected. This fund
should be sacredly guarded and
not, used for any other purpose.
“The state could raise this
money upon a three per cent ba
sis. When not in use the de
positories would pay sufficient
rate to reduce the interest to the
state to two per cent. The bonds
so issued might be retired in a
few years at the rate of SIOO,OOO
per annum without the necessity
of any increase in our tax rate.”
WOULD RELEASE
DISABLED CONVICTS
With a view to relieving the
state of the necessity of caring
for convicts who are invalid or
disabled to work, Governor Smith
in his message to the legislature,
will recommend the inauguration
of a system of reports from each
county convict camp which will
keep the prison commission and
the governor constantly informed
as to the physical condition of
any inmate of the penitentiary.
Upon bis recent visit to the
state farm, where he came in con
tact with a number of prisoners
who were unable to work and who
were kept there as if in a hos
pital ami at a constant expense
to the state, the governor was in
pressed with the necessity of a
system of reports which will
bring such cases to the attention
of the commission and the chief
executive.
The governor believes that a
convict who has 1 been rendered
helpless either by accident or old
age is removed beyond the possi
bility committing crime, that his
freedom would no longer con
stitute a menace to the public and
that the state would gain nothing
by continuing to punish him with
i onfinernent.
Consequently, the governor bej
lieves that the pardoning powe*
should be exercised in such cases
and his recommendations to the
legislature along this line will
conform to this opinion.
