SHOULD CHANGE LAW
Supreme Court decisions render it
impossible under existing laws for
County Commissioners to legally pay
interest on money for even current
expenses, and this fact puts nearly
every county in Georgia on a “credit
basis,” which is expensive to the coun
ty and a hardship to all who have
any business dealings with it.
People in Georgia give their tax
returns for the year in the spring;
tax levies are fixed in the late sum
mer, and taxes are collected in the
fall and winter. This necessarily
leaves several months in which the
county has no money, as the commis
sioners are not supposed to accumu
late funds to carry over.
Here in Polk, our commissioners
have been in the habit of borrowing
money to meet expenses, feeling that
it was cheaper and better for the
county to do this than to pay credit
prices and have holders of warrants
discount their seript. This was un
doubtedly good business, but it was
not in strict accordance with the let
ter of the law. Some one in Floyd
county got peeved at the commission
ers there, and the matter was car
ried to the Supreme Court, where the
inevitable decision was rendered that
under existing laws the county could
not borrow money.
The decision has worked a great
hardship on commissioners and people
alike. The sudden change gave rise
here in Polk to the report that the
county was bankrupt.
The general state law should be
changed so that the proper county
authorities could borrow money from
month to month up to the amount of
the tax levy. It is not right, for in
stance, that a rich eounty like Polk
hould be forced to pay credit prices
—and no one can be expected to fur
‘nish supplies at cash prices and then
ihave to discount their scrip or carry
‘it for months. Neither is it fair that
employees of the county, working for
fixed salaries, should be compelled to
carry their scrip indefinitely or lose
‘the discount.—Cedartown Standard.
CULLS HALF OF FLOCK
WITH NO EGG LOSS
That it does not pay to keep poultry
in the winter—that is, some poultry—
has been demonstrated to at least one
West Virginia poultry raiser and his
neighbors. Last fall he followed the
advice of the poultry extension spe
cialists and culled his flock. From a
flock of 81 hens he culled out 39 and
sent them to the market. To his sur
prise the remaining 42 birds pro
duced as many eggs as the original
flock, and his feed bill was nearly
halved.

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
HANSON MOTOR COMPANY
HAS PROSPEROUS YEAR
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 26— (Special)
One of the most remarkable stories of
industrial success under difficulties
was disclosed last week at the meet
ing of stockholders of the Hanson
Motor Company of Atlanta, At
this meeting it was voted to double
the capitalization of the company,
making the capital stock $1,000,000,
the greater part of the new issue
being immediately taken up by the
old stockholders.
Organized only one year ago, the
Hanson Company has, despite the war
rapidly forged to the front among
automobile manufacturers and at the
stockholders’ meeting declared a
handsome dividend as a result of the
vears’ work.
It was also stated by the company
that they are daily receiving requests
for territorial agency contracts from
all parts of the country; that they
now have on hand orders for over
800 cars for the earliest possible
delivery and that the plant will short-
Iy be turning out completed cars at
the rate of ten daily.
At last weeks’ meeting it was also
voted to increase the capacity of the
of the plant and work will com
mence immediately on the erection
of additional buildings which will add
one acre of floor space to the already
handsome plant which now faces the
railroad on Murphy avenue, Atlanta.
The company has been handicapped
during its first year of business by;
reason of war conditions. It will be
remembered that at one time it was
thought likely that all manufacture
of pleasure automobiles would be
stopped for the duration of the war,
and the makers of cars were actually
limited to a serious extent in their
output.
Despite these conditions, however,
the Hanson Six has won an impor
tant place for itself in the motor
world, and it is now a safe predic
tion that the achievements of this
company will mean the eventual
foundation of a huge automobile in
dustry for the South.

The Many MysteriesTof
NatureY
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D\\
You can take an onion seed and a pansy
geed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower of
rare beauty. You can plant a Eoplpy seed
and get opium (a dangerous, habit-forming
drug%, or you can Flant a rhubarb seed and
get something{l that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behindl the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., long since found out what is
naturally best for women’s diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
of cases. The result of his studies was a
medicine called Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir
regularities, pelvie inflammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription is made of lady’s slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standar({) remedy
know that in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription they are getting a safe woman’s
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
Send 10¢ to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. for trial pkg. Tablets.
