Richmond Legislators Talk of
Coming Session Legislature
Messrs. S. F. Garlington and S. L. Olive Discuss Proposed
Legislation During the Coming Summer at the Capitol.
The legislature meets this week
i and the Georgia solons will spend the
: next two months in making laws and
Killing many other would-be laws.
The Richmond County representa
tives were asked for statements re
garding legislation at the coming ses
| sion.
Mr. S. L. Olive said:
The first session of the legislature
, was taken up largely with fiscal mat
ters. General laws will come up at
the approaching session. There will
be an effort to repeal the progressiva
tax law passed at the last session.
While I do not consider the present
law perfect, it is. nevertheless a step
In the direction or fairness and should
ultimately cut our tax rate to half
of what it now Is. Of course this
cannot be accomplished Immediately,
but will be reached by degrees. The
new law Is predicated upon the doc
trine of equality for everybody in the
matter of contribution to government
in proportion to possession of prop
erty. Under the old plan some coun
ties In Georgia levied taxes on a 20
tier cent valuation, and others on a
GO or 75 per cent valuation. This law
seeks to equalize the tax valuation of
property all over the state.
Howl From Soma Counties.
Naturally a howl Is coming from
some counties notoriously unfair In
their dealings with the state.
Richmond has been as fair as any
county in Georgia, according to tl)o
comptroller general's report. I shail
resist any attempt to repeal tax equal
ization. I anticipate a hard fight on
this question.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad
and the governor’s mansion property
will come in for considerable discus
sion.
The School Book Question.
There Is pending a bill to have the
state print Its own school books. A
mass of evidence, pro and con, has
been adduced on this question. It Is
a great big question. California has
tried it without success. The advo
cates of the bill contend that the fail
ure of the plan there was due to per
sonal graft. The opponents of the
bill contend that the whole scheme is
not practical. I have given the sub
ject much study, but I doubt the feas
ibility of the plan In view of the pres
ent condition of our state treasury.
State Highway Commiition.
We hope to enact a law creating a
state highway commission, which will
systematize road building. For lack
of scientific information many coun
ties waste thousands of dollars on
their roads. This commission will
furnish needed suggestions, and the
result would be better roads every
The Dryest May in 22 Years
Means Georgia’s Biggest Cotton Crop
The average precipitation Tor May,
1914, for the State of Georgia, was
.75, the lowest —much the lowest —
about the lowest by half in a record
of 22 years. From 2.16 to 5.47 runs
the May precipitation record for the
state. The nearest approach to the
dry May of 1914, which stands at .74,
is 1.12 and 1.76 for 1888 and 1889
May, 1914, is shy oT rain to the extent
of an average of 2.73, which is the
fecord for 22 years.
And .vet the crops are in splendid
condition, especially on the line of
the Georgia Railroad and the predio
tion Is made that Georgia, with a dry
May, is going to make her best cot
ton crop.
Here ace figures for special seo
tions of the state:
Precipitation.
The average rainfall, 68 stations
reporting, was 0.74 Inch, or 2.73
Inches below the normal, and nearly
half an inch less than the previous
lowest record for May. A glance at
the precipitation tables from April
21st to the end of May will give the
best Idea of the extent and severity
of the drought. Only three stations.
Clayton, Glennvllle and Quitman re
ceived ns much as 2 inches during
May, while there were six regions in
which the total rainfall was less than
a quarter of an inch, an amount
hardly sufficient to wet the surface of
the soil. The smallest amounts re

MINNESOTA'S GOVERNORSHIP.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
where. Our county now has the rep
utation of having the best roads and
schools of any In Georgia.
There are several bills pending
which were not reached last session,
which ere endorsed by organized labor.
None of these are radical or unfair,
and I think their chances for passage
good.
The 801 l Weevil.
We have declared war on several in
sect armies. It is of much more worth
to Georgia to conquer General 801 l
Weevil and his approaching army than
it is to conquer the whole Mexican
shooting match. The annual damage
done In our state by insects Is as
tounding when you see the figures. We
are giving all the protection for which
We are able to pay.
A large number of bills, general and
local, have been introduced. The to
tal number is in excess of 700. Of
course a lot of these are freak bills
and will never get out of committee.
Some of them were introduced by va
rious members for “home consump
tion” and never intended for passage.
I believe on the whole that the legis
lature renders the state more real ser
vice In killing than in passing a large
majority of the bills introduced.
Rich Commonwealth.
We have the largest commonwealth
east of the Mississippi, and I believe
that legislation is best which places
our stute on a sound and solvent
financial basis and which tends to
wards the full support of the common
schools and the other great institu
tions of learning. We must look after
pensions as long as we know the
meaning of gratitude.
Georgia Is not now In shape to ap
propriate money for a building at the
great exposition in San Francisco, and
will miss the magnificent world-wide
advertising of her wonderful resources
which a handsome state building
would give. We trust that when the
next world's fair comes, Georgia will
be in a position to make her citiz.ens
who visit it proud of their state.
This legislature has tried to lay a
solid foundation for the future and.
In my humble judgment, has accom
plished much.
Mr. Samuel F. Garlington said that
the legislature would doubtless con
sider a great many things this sum
mer, among them the tax equaliza
tion, the Western & Atlantic Railroad
matter, the prohibition and other
questions. However, Mr. Garlington
stated that there would be so much
state politics going on that he did
not expect there would he much legis
lation of great importance passed.
Mr. C. A. Picquet had nothing to
say.
ceived were Waynesboro 0, St.
George Trace, and Hawkinsvllle 0.02
inch. The greatest monthly total
was 2.99 inches at Quitman, of which
2.02 incues fell In 24 hours on the
26th.
At many stations the total amounts
are the least on record for May, as
indicated below:
Atlanta received 0.30 inch, the least
In 47 yeara
Dahlonega received 0.69 inch, the
least in 30 years
Klberton received 0.48 inch, the
least in 24 years.
Gainesville received 0.20 inch, the
least in 41 years.
Athens received 0.11 inch, the least
in 34 years.
Toccoa received 0.18 inch, the least
in 36 years.
Augusta received 0.06 inch, the
least in 46 years
Griffin received 0.39 inch, the least
in 36 years.
Macon received 0.45 inch, the least
in 47 years.
At some stations the amounts re
ceived during May, 1914, were the
smallest received during any month
of the year, as for example at Au
gusta since 1869; at Adairsville since
1890; at Athens since 1886; at Haw
kinsville since 1892; Waynesboro
also has a record of 0 inch in Sep
tember, 1887.
Will Never Recover All
the Bodies 104 Victims
Hlllcrest, Alberta. Government
mine experts who continued today
the search for the dead in Mine No.
22, Hillcreat collieries, which was
wrecked by an explosion, entombing
195 miners last Friday, said it was
probable the 104 victims still in the
mine were buried beneath tons of
rock more than a thousand feet from
the mouth of the pit and that some of
the bodies never would be recovered
The majority if the 91 bodies thus
far recovered were burned bevond
recognition and but little effort’was
made to identify them As quickly
as coffins were available the victim*
were buried.
The generally accepted theorr is
that the disaster was due to ah ex
plosion of gas which had accumulated
in tlie lower levels. The coroners
Inquest has been adjourned until
early next month.

IF KIDNEYS ARE
WEAK TjpCHU
Mixed With Juniper Is Old
Folks’ Recipe For Flushing
Kidneys—Stops Back
ache and Uric Acid.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region.
It generally means your kidneys are
weak. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels, remov
ing all the body’s urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells: your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the weath
er Is bad you have rheumatic twingqs,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
To relieve this distressing condition
at once get from your pharmacist a
fair sized bottle of Stuart's Buchu and
Juniper Compound. Take a table;
spoonful in a glass of water after
meals. Stop eating sweets or sugar.
In a few days your kidneys will then
act fine and natural. A well known
authority says this Is the best treat
ment.
Stuart's Buchu and Juniper Com
pound acts directly on the urine
through the kidneys. It keeps the
blood healthy. It strengthens the
neck of the bladder. It regulates the
kidneys and does away with backache
and all disagreeable symptoms. If
discouraged with other medicines, be
sure you get Stuart’s Buchu and Juni
per, as Stuart’s is properly compound
ed for kidney trouble.

PALMETTO FINS
Georgia Legislature Meets
Wednesday. Session Prom
ises to be Hot—Figuratively
and Literally.
Atlanta, Ga. —A force of porters at
the capitol is busy dusting off the
chairs and beating the rugs in the
senate chamber and hall of represen
tatives, oiling up the wheels of the
slow-moving old elevator and laying
in a stock of palmetto fans in prepay
ration for the opening of the legisla
ture next Wednesday.
The fifty-day session promises to
he a hot one, both figuratively and
literally. There are a number of
bills which presage battles on the
floor and the thermometer is keep
ing steadily around the 90’s.
Amendment to the prohibition law
by which regulations affecting ship
ments of liquor from other states
may be made more stringent, and ef
forts to repeal the tax equalization
act, are among the more important
issues to be considered. The tax
measure was enacted at the last ses
sion when the speaker of the lower
branch cast the deciding vote.
Governor Slaton’s annual message
is expected to be presented Thurs
day.
A suggestion for the good of far
mers is made in the annua] report of
the commissioner of agriculture, Jas.
I). Price, which will be submitted to
the assembly.
“Most farmers are beginning to
recognize the value of the leguminous
crops,” the report says, and many
are beginning to plant these rather
extensively. Most of these plants
must be inoculated with nitrogen
fixing bacteria. These cultures could
be produced by the department at a
cost to the farmer of about 25 cents
an acre if a small appropriation
might be had for equipping the
chemist for the work.”
Mr. Price’s report concludes by
saying the Georgia farms indicate
great prosperity in all sections of the
