Governor Smith has signed the war
rant, recently held up by him, in fa
vor of the prison commission for SB,
000 with which to pay for supplies
purchased on the state farm since
January 1, 1909, With this warrant
approved the prison commision can
now wind up its books and issue the
annual report for the year, '
It is prboable that in the near fu
ture judges of the supreme court, tho
court of appeals apd possibly of the
superior courts in QGeorgia will wear
robes. The practice was suggested
and endorsed at the recent meeting of
the Georgia Bar 'association at Warm
Springs, through resolution®
As the result of his inspetcion of
the prison farm at Milledgeville, Gov
ernor Smith pardoned twenty-five in
mates of the penitentiary whom he
thought should go free, In some of the
cases upon which he took action the
governor acted upon his own initia
tive without regard to whether applt
cations for clemency had been filled or
not,
The auditing company which has
been at work on the books of the
prison commission reports that no im
provement has been made gsince It
conducted an examination into the
books and accounts of the commis
sion last July: that there is an abso
lute lack of system at the state farm,
no bookkeeping at all the state re
formatory, and only the simplest form
of single entry bookkeepine kept at
and instructive program will be ren
‘capitol.
' Captain J. W. Lindsay, commission
er of pensions, has completed his an
nual report for the year ending De
cember 31, 1908, and has submitted
it to Governor Smith, The report
shows that the total number of pen
sioners pald in 1908 was 15,619 at a
«cost of $927,775.35. The appropriation
'made by the legislature for the year
was $950,000, leaving a balance now in
the treasury of $22,224.15. The roll
for 1908 shows a decredse” of eighfy
eight, as compared with 1907. The
commiggjoner points out that it is im
pca-sié&to estimate the amount of
money the pension department - will
need until the general assembly ‘leg-l
islates upon the constitutional amend
ment adopted last year. + - 4
A chip has been discovered in a
potato patch at Lindale that had a
growth of hair on one side of. it. The
growth is on one side of a small pine
chip and is about two and' a ‘half
‘inches in length. It is of very dark
hue lightly touched with gray. The
roots of the hair have grown down
into the chip a quarter of an inch,
and one can observe with a micros
cope just how the roots are mingled
‘together in the wood just as on a hu
‘man head. The article was found by
little Willie Ray, son of Bailiff and
‘Mrs. C. H. Ray. It has been a source
'of much curiosity to observers.

State Goes After the ¢
\ Near Beer Dealers
Atlanta, Ga. — Sixty-four hundred
and eighty dollars has recenily been
turned into the state treasury by
“near beer” dealers of Fulton and
Clarke counties, as a result of activi
ties on the part of Governor Smuith,
who engaged special representatives
in these counties to force delinquent
dealers to ‘“come across.” The col
lections swell the entire sum of mon
ev collected by the state from deal
ers in “imitation” beers to $217,000,
and the taxing act has been in forca
less than a yedr, having been passed
at the last’session of the legislature.
It is learned thg,t “near beer” and
“near beer” taxes-will be the subject
of a lively row: in the legislature this
summer. One element will attempt
to outlaw the, beverage, and, failing
in this, to “increase the tax, while
another will urge a reduction in.-the
tax and probably. suggest as a com
promise the creation of an officer,
under the comptroller general, to run
down delinquent dealers and superin
tend, generally, thé collectior of tax
in every county in the state.

A Pensioned Horse.
A faithful government servant has
been recognized and rewarded by
Ormsby McHarg, Assistant Secretary
of Commerce and Labor. This ser
vant is an cld horse named Caleb,
which for twenty-four years: has de
v‘ote'd his energies to pulling’ a wazon
belonging to the United Stites Fish
Commission at Green Bay, Me. Last
weék, after a serious attack of boils,
he showed his inability to serve the
Government any further by lying in.
his stall ard refusing te be harnesed.
The officers. at Green Bay, knowing
that the animal's days of--usefulness
were over, reported the fapt to the
Department of Commerce and Labor
and asked for a new horse, also ex
pressing the intention of killing
Caleb. This report fell under the
eyes cos Secrelary McHarg, and he
immediately issned an order that the
faithful animal be placed in the pas
ture until he died a natural death.
This is one of the few cases on record
in which a horse had been placed on
the Government's pension rolls.—Chi

Owensboro, Ky.—A crusade.on to
bacco chewers and dogs has begun in
Owensboro. Spitting on the side
walks of the city, on street cars, in
public buildings and on public plat
forms is made punishable by a fine of
from $2 to $lO, and the police have
instructions to enforce the law at
once. Owners of dogs must pay $1.50
each as a city tax on their dogs or
the animals will be killed.
Both new ordinances have pro
duced innumerable howls.
