Villa told the delegation. The public for the present seems in different as to the form of government which will come after the revolution, the successor which is expected by residents of Chihuahua. Gen Villa's word is law now. He is the legislative, executive and Judicial departments of government. He lives In a mansion confiscated from an ex iled aristocrat.

From granting permission for beg gars to solicit in the streets to Import ant questions of state, Villa Is abso lute.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD ed by the state, exclusive of railroad proper property, ought to yield a large revenue to the state. This matter will consume a good portion of the ses sion.

Georgia will probably be the last state to adopt it; but even at that I believe it is coming inside of ten years. The entire West now has wom an's suffrage in one form or another and this fact will eventually drive all the great national parties to its sup port. “Several Augusta merchants have claims against the state. This matter was not brought to my attention till after the adjournment of the legisla ture. I will try to look after that next session, us I am on the appropriations committee.” Tax Equalization. Asked about whether he would be a candidate or not Mr. Picquet said that he had not decided what he would do. "There is plenty of time." he said, “In which to decide the question." I'iscussing matters which will come before the next session of the Georgia solons, Mr. Picquet predicted that there would be a hard fight on the tax equalization measure which was passed last summer.

He says that the whiskey people would be willing to pay SI,OOO per year license, instead of S3OO, and would be willing to have the traffic so regulated as not to allow whiskey sold In counties with towns under 10,- 000 to 15,000 population.

Mr. Charlie Bignon, who keeps one of the nicest and most methodical warehouses in Augusta, showed them through the warehouse, with its piles and piles of heavy farm seeds and forage seeds.
