MAKING THE CITY’S BUDGET.
The problem that confronts the City Council is simply
the question of making a proper budget for the coming
year.
From $60,000 to $76,000 Bhould be set aside from
the revenues of the city to apply to the floating debt of
the city. The various departments of the city should be
taken care of with the revenue in hpnd, and each depart
ment should be required to live within its appropriation.
No appropriations should be made in excess of the funds
In hand or in sight.
Council has struck the right note in putting the fact
of the situation clearly before the taxpayers and the peo
ple, and a continuance of this policy will create more and
more confidence among the people.
Certainly if the people and taxpayers are to be asked
to vote another issue of bonds, some three-quarters of a
million dollars, it will bo well for the City Council to show
that it is in earnest in adopting a sound financial policy
of living well within its income and makng provision for
the taking up of its floating debt.
For years and years Richmond county has been strug
gling under a floating debt of some $140,000. Under the
budget system, which the county commissioners have
adopted, they lived within the budget last year, saved
some SII,OOO, and reduced the debt $40,000. Tho county
treasurer estimates that within two years if this policy is
kept up, Richmond oounty will not owe a dollar in tho
world, and yet she has been struggling under a load of
debt for 30 years. In fact, the credit of the county is
rising so rapidly that it is cutting the interest rate on its
debt as well as reducing the principal.
Augusta can do as well or even better than the county
with its larger revenues, if the City Council is in earnest
In Its new policy.

Lynching Averted By the
Failure to Catch Negro Who
Committed the Deed
Brunswick, Ga. —Not In recent years
has a crime so s' rred Brunswick ns
that which was committed late Tues
day night, when J. T. Mclntyre, em
ployed at the plant of the Yuryan Na
val Stores company, was shot to death
hy an unknown negro, laist night talk
of lynching was heard on all sides In
Brunswick, and the only thing that
prevented such action was the fact
that, of the two or three negroes ar
rested In connection with the crime,
the officers were free to stale that
they did not believe they bad the
guilty man. Had there been any evi
dence that either of the negroes In
Jail was guilty It Is known that an ef
fort would have been made to lynch
him. Peeling Is running high and trou
ble Is still feared.
Mclntyre, accompanied by a friend,
was on his way home. The negro,
talking to a negro woman, was stand
ing right In the middle of the side
walk. The two while men requested
that they be given room to pass,
whereupon the negro, without any
provocation whatever, whipped out a
pistol and opened fire. Mclntyre fell
upon his friend, dying almost Instant
ly, while the negro made a quick get
away, he going in one direction and
the in gro woman In another.

Professor Wm. H.Taft on
Hearsay Court Evidence
In Spite of His Past History,
Struggling to Be Reformer,
He Says.
Boston.—‘in spite of my past his
tory, 1 ain struggling to ho a reformer."
I’rofesaor William Howard Taft told
the Boston University l.aw School As
sociation last night. He devoted muen
of his address to consideration of criti
cism of Massachusetts lawyers and
court procedure which Sherman Whip
pic, a Boston lawyer, made In his
presence at New London, Conn., a few
clays ago.
Regarding Mr, Whipple's proposal
for a reformation of by
which hearsay evidence would be ad
mitted In court, Professor Taft said
that It seemed to him that If there
was one rule more than another which
tended to sift out truth, It was the
rule which excluded hearsay evidence.
Professor Taft defended lawyers and
the Judges of the country from what
he termed "the partisan and mistaken
diatribes of demagogues."

Is Against Inter-State
Trade Commission Bill
New York.—The New York chamber
of commerce today discussed a resolu

the ground that It contains provisions

of rights of privacy In the transac

The resolution was referred to the
executive committee.
President Claflln, commenting upon
the resolution, said:
"From the one bill that has been
presented It is evident that other anti
