GOVERNOR BROWN SEES
FINANCIAL BREAKERS AHEAD
In the very inception of his admin
{stration, Governor Brown says the
state faces financial breakers, and but
two loopholes are apparent by which
he may escape,
One is to borrow money and the
other action by the general assembly
empowering the use of the near-beer
fund of $227,395.24. That fund is tied
up by a special act which provides
for its use only for equipping and
caring for convicts,
There is now only $41,726.25 availa
ble in the treasury, and this amount
will not pay immediate outstanding
obligations, State institutions, the Uni
versity, the School for the Blind, the
Bchool for the Deaf, all are demand
ing funds,
According to a report submitted to
Governor Brown by Treasurer Brown,
there will be a deficit of $200,000 on
the next quarter, and unless some
thing is done the lawmakers them
selves won't get paid,
So serious is the situation that Gov
ernor Brown sent a special message
ot the legislature. He advocgtes ac
tion to make the’ near-beer tax, or
part of it, available for~ immediate
use, :
GOVERNOR BROWN'S SPECIAL..
MESSAGE ON CODIFYING LAWS.
Governor Brown sent to the general
assembly a special message bearing
on the subject of codifying the laws
of the state, and transmitting there
with a communication from Judge
John L. Hopkins, of Atlanta,.
Judge Hopkins states that he has
codified and placed in the code of
1895 all of the statutes that have
since been enacted into law. He has
given three years to this work, and
has placed in the code all the general
and permanent statutes passed since
1895.
In this amended work there are 949
more sections than in the code of
1895, and it will make a volume of
1,73 pages. The keen necessity of a
codification of the present laws is
shown by Judge Hopkins in the fel
lowing statement:
“In the code of 1895 there are 515
sections that are not laws, as they
there appear. They have bheen
amended or repealed. During the ex
istence of this state the laws have
begn compiled, digested or codified
every ten or twelve years., A longer
period has elapsed since 1895. There
are now thirteen volumes of session
laws to be codified, and the present
session will make it fourteen. The
editions of some of these session laws
are exhausted.”
With this communication Governor
Brown sent a brief message calling
attention to the urgent need of codi
fying the laws, and asked considera
tion of several pending measures, to
gether with Judge Hopkins’ letter.
WHAT TO DO WITH NEAR-BEER
: MONEY IS PROBLEM NOW.
What shall be done with_the $230,-
000 now in the state treasury and
which represents the tax collected by
the state from the sale of near-heer?
That question was put up to the
house in a resclution introduced by
Mr. McWhirter, of Greene, The reso
lution provides that the funds shall
be turned over to the state treasurer
to be used in defraving the incidental
expenses of the state,
The law at present prescribes that
the fund derived from this source
shall be used in the purchase of a
prison farm and in defraying other
expenses incident to the maintenance
of the new convict system.
Since the prison commission hkas
apparently abhandoned its intention to
purchase a prison farm it is very
probable that Mr. McWhirter's reso
lution will meet with universal ap
proval in the general assembly,
With The Lawmakers.
No more bets on the outcome of the
ball game; no more wagers on the
side as tg which is the hetter horse,
automokile on the track; no more
guesses backed by cash as to whether
it will raiz tomorrow or next week;
no more good, hard money as to
whether Atlanta will finish the season
at the beginniz, middle or end of the
percentage column, if Mr, Barrett of
Stephens succeeds in pushing through
the legislature a bill he has introduc
ed. Mr. Barrett's bill absolutely for
bids and makes illegal any bet or
wager made in this state,
The general judiciary committee
also approved the bill to require tax
collectors in every eounty in Georgia
to keep a cash book, in which shall
be recorded all cash rcceived and all
rmoneys paid out, The bill was favhr
ably reported, 5
hA county commissioner of agricul-
Wre and horticulture in each county
is provided for in a Dbill introduced
in the house by the three represen
tatives from Fulton—Messrs, Alexan
der, Brown and McElreath.
Mr. Cordell of Elhert has introduced
a bill, requiring é-a.ch person who
keeps a dog in Georgia, to pay an
annual tax of $2 for each male dog
and $5 for each female dog.
The general agricultural committee
reported favorably with the recom
mendation that it pass, the resolu
tion of Mr. Vinson of Baldwin, re
questing the members of congress
from Georgia to work for a measure
that would require the collection of
statistics showing the amount of cot
ton in the hands of mills and ¢otton
brokers, as well as cotton in the
hands and fields of the cotton farm

ORIGIN -
Of a Famous Human Food.
The story of great discoveries or
inventions is always of ingerest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
planshe had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi
cal and mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
prain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat withi
the average man does not accomplish’
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nmerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food, It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked stur
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making it a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
gtimulant, but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its flavour is charming, and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
ifactory it is served instantly with
jeream. _
' The signature of the brain worker
|spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen
lon each genuine package /of Grape
[ Nuts.
