Maj'or Hayne, In announcing his veto, stated that he had always wanted to aet in accord with the majority of members of council; that he was try ing to discharge the dutleH of his of fice zealously and conscientiously, and that he believed It his duty In that In stance to veto the action of council. The mayor continued that if the mem bers of council wished to set aside his veto it was their privilege, Mr. Jones of the First ward moved as a substitute for Mr. Woodward's motion that the a lion of the finance committee fixing the license at 11,000 l>e ratified. Why the Reduction? Taking the position that Mayor Hayne did, that Is, that the licenses should remain SI,OOO, Connell men Kmlth of the Fifth ward asked why was there any proposal to reduce. Mr Woodward retorted that he thought all business licenses should be reduced fine-fourth because of the business depression and that he was entirely consistent In his efforts for a reduction of the near beer license because he did not wish to see the reduction confined to this branch of business alone. Mr. Al’-'ti tat»d that lie was in fa vor of the reduction proposed by Mr. Woodward, because of the business depression, stating that the near beer dealers were very heavily taxed. Mr. Kent said that he was In favor of having all other lleenses remain the same and fix the near beer license at $750. Mr. Jones of the First said he would favor a S2OO license If nothing but beer was sold.

At to the mayor's right lo veto there has been, as stated, much discussion on the streets Tuesday. An attempt was made to get a state ment from City Attorney C. Henry Cohen, hut he left for Atlanta at 7:40 a. m. Tuesday. Mr. W. H. Barrett, former city at torney, could not be reached, either, he also being In Atlanta. Mayor 1,. C. Hayne Is ill at his home and could not be reached. Searching through the city code, investigators found only two references to the mayor's veto power. One is in section 631, which says: "The mayor has a vote on all questions in council or committee (except upon the question of the repassage of an ordinance which he has disapproved), and If his vote, when given lo the minority, makes the question equal, the question shall be lost.” Section 775 says: "Council has pow er to repass any appropriation ordi nance disapproved by the mayor, by a vote of two-thirds of the members of council, the mayor not being quali fied to vote on such repassage.” The near beer mutter may or may not tie construed as an appropriation ordinance. The money from near beer dealers goes to make up the appro priations, but the question !h whether or not this Is a far-fetched construc tion of the matter. The outcome of the affair will be watched with Interest. The advocates of the $750 license say that they will have an ordinance drafted with this provision in it and call meetings of council to pass it. A statement on the question from the city attorney will lie awaited with Interest. THE HISTORY OF VETOES, MAYORS OF AROUSTA Mayor Walsh Vetoed Ordinance in 1898.

The vflto by Mayor Hayne of tho $750 n«ir boor Hcenso proposition re call* two vetoes by Augusta mayors of the past. On Jan. 8, 1888, Mayor Patrick Walsh vetoed an ordinance provic’ g for the offlct> of a city electrician, an assistant chain gang guard, a keeper of the locks and a sewer flusher, the men to fill these positions to pe paid by the city. The council failed to carry the matter over the mayor’s head hy the necessary two-thirds ma jority and it was dropped. Mayor Walsh gave as his reasons for vetoing the ordinance that he a right because it meant an appropria tion of money.

An attempt was made to carry the or dinance over the mayor's veto hut there was a dispute over a fraction of a vote, one councilman being absent, and the matter hung fire until Mayor Dunbar went in when the ordinance was passed. Augusta attorneys who were asked about the question /of the mayor's veto stated that the original charter of the city gave him no veto power and the acts of the legislature of 1878 dealt with the question a,s follows and they have never been repealed or amended: “The mayor shall have revision of all ordinances appropriating money or creating any new debt, other than for ordinary expenses, or for the pay ment of debts alread Incurred. Every such ordinance shall he presented to the mayor, and before it shall take effect, be approved by him. or being disproved, shall be re-passed by a vote of two-thirds of the members of council.” SAY COUNCIL WILL UPHOLD THE MAYOR Members Declare That Council Will Reconsider and That the License Will Remain SI,OOO. —t Although the advocates of SI,OOO li cense seemed to get a temporary set back in council Monday night, still members of council on Tuesday wore willing to bet that the license wou; 1 remain SI,OOO and that Mayor Hayne and the SI,OOO advocates would pre vail in the end. As to whether the mayor has a right to veto such action was not consid ered of consequence by these gentle men, who said that council would re consider, anyway.

What Leads to Tuberculosis? lo tho opinion of many medical au thoritle*, the development of pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption) It hastened, If not actually precipitated, by a loss of Itme from the system. ‘‘Where there Is a decalclfleatlon, the lime salts must be supplied medicinally,” says Dr. J. W. Carhart, of San Antonio, Texas. In the May, 1913, issue of "Medical Progress.” To supply these necessary salts has, In many Instances, proved a difficult matter, since in some forms they are not easily assimilable. In Eckraan’s Alterative, however, cal cium (Itme) is so combined with other remedial agents as to be assimilated by the average person without digestive disturbance, and to this. In part. Is due the success of this remedy In the treat ment of tuberculosis and chronic throat and bronchial affections. We make no boastful claims for Eck man’s Alterative, but a careful record of results obtained during years of wide spread use warrants the assertion that many such cases apparently have yielded to It. It contains no opiates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs, hence its use is not attended with danger. Your druggist has it or will order it, or you can send direct. Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia.
