NUMBER 2, VOLUME 43. STATE TAX RATE MAY GO HIGHER BY NEXT YEAR —♦— "TREASURER PARKS SOUNDS HIS NOTE OF WARNING TO THE OFFICIALS. HOW THE C\SE STANDS If Present Appropriations Be Main tained the Levy Will Have to Be r $5.98 —The Committee Favors a General Cut. Atlafita. November 15.—In’ executive sr:;:-ion tonight fne appropriation com mittee discussed till 1:15 the state ment by Treasurer Hark that it would r quire $1 844.900 to meet the de mands of the state for 1903. This would require a tax rate ot 5.75 mills, which, with the .23 required for the sinking fund, would be 5.98. The committee was averse to malt ing the tax rate this high and there fore the priming knife will be applied all along the line, even touching tne departmental service at he capitol. it can be safely stated that very few. if any. appropriations for state institutions will lie raised and some oi them may feel the chop axe. Even the ; citool and pension funds are not en tirely safe, and the state sanitarium may not get what they ask for main i finance. ...e purpose of the committee seems to be lo cover toe deficit, in the trens iity, save t'oc state’s credit ami not camper Governor Terrell in bis an nounced purpose to reduce taxes. Some of the mem.-erg seem disposed to go with hammer and tongs not only rf*er schools and pensions, but almost every charge upon the state and eut them to the lowest notch. .GIVEN PRELIMINARY HEARING.

Newcastle street still has its shab by growth of grass encroaching upon the sidewalks until there is a mere ath down the center. A few individuals nave started work, in some cast's, merely clearing up and removing the grass and weeds, there by t reaUy improving the appearance of taeil- property. In a tew cases they arc constructing sidewalks of shell with handsome curbing of brick. Among those who are making im pnmmt-n’-. of this sort are Messrs. ¥. D. omen. A. Fenclg, Howard Waff, J. A. Montgomery and Dr. D. D. Atkinson. These public spirited and progressive citizens are setting an example worthy of imitation and it is hoped many will follow their leSff in regard to this matter.

Bill Has B-e(v Introduced by Repre sentative Brinson. An Important bill has been Intro duced In the house by Mr. Brinson, of Decatur cr6umy. looking to the protec tion of too sugar cane industry in Georgia. The intention of the meas ure is to compel all articles sold as Georgia cane syrup, when in fact they are adulterations, to be so marked. From an agiTou Rural standpoint tne measure is one of the most important, that Aas yet been introduced irt the house, and its author in discussing its merits says: "1 have had for some time under consideration the introduction of such a bill, and 1 do not hesitate to say that in my opinion the future develop ment of the sguar cane industry in this state depends largely on the fate of -Inis bill. It is not generally known but it la true, that in more than two thirds of the states in the union Geor gia cane syrup is excluded solely be cause of the adulterations. Dealers in the large towns of this aim other states pay 30 cents for our syrup, ship it away, reboil it ad reslnjr to tis at less man they al first gave for it. There is sometning radically wrong tit Ibis, and everybody knows that it will take.rigid legislation to correct it. 1 have therefore drafted my bill with the idea of suppressing tne habit of "m'lixng syrup and selling it as the genuine article. If properly protected ihe syrup industry of south Georgia will soon be the chief one, and cer tainly it is a more profitable one than Lie production of cotton. One acre of fairly good cane will produce 600 gal lons ot syrup, this sold at 35 cents per gallon, tne present price, is $2lO per acre, and with proper attention the farmer eannrSt clear loss than SIOO per acre under the most adverse circum stances. Hence i am interesting my self in the passage of t..m bill, and it I secure it 1 shall consider that 1 have served the interests ot my constittu ency anu added, materially to the agri cultural needs of south Georgia.” (Struck by Stre*t Cr.

The political mass meeting of those wao are opposed to the present ad ministration in general, and a ticket nominated by the Good Government club last Tuesday night, in particu lar, will ue he. at Che city ball Fri day night next, November 21, and at this meeting either one of two things wnl be done. The candidates for municipal honors by the Good Government club will be endorsed or a brand new ticket will be placed in the field. From present in dications it is apparent, that the latter condition will obtain, and that anew municipal ..cket will be nominated. This movement, seems to have be hind it a number of our strongest pro fessional and business men, and it is manifest that a real strong ticket will be named. in Ibis connection it may be of in terest to say that the meeting to be held on Friday night will have no re spect. for past or present political af filiation or local factionalism, but it will apparently be a gathering of such of our citizens who are opposed to the present regime. In Tuesday’s issue of the News will appear a call for this meeting, in which will be concisely staled the po sition of .those who form the move ment. , Some talk was indulged in yesterday of a compromise between the local factions, but later developments indi cated that such a result was improb able and it now seems that the situa tion will have to be fought out at the polls December 9. To say the least of the political sit uation, it is interesting and gives promise of a real, stout combat at the polls next month. Presiding Elder to Preach. Rev. J. W.

Professor Locb Thinks He Has Found Elixir of Life. Chicago, Nov. 16. Anew discovery in relation to the prolonging of hu man fife has just been announced by Professor Jacques I.oeb, of the Uni versity of Chicago, Salt and water, the “elixir of life,’’ discovered by Dr. Loeb two years ago to be efficient in making turtle's hearts beat again with rhythmic throbs, has been found to be a powerful restora tive for dying mammals and the sci entist is a step neaier toward the goal of prolonging human fife indefinitely. The experiments of which Dr. Ixmb told his class were made by Assistant Professor Edward P. Lyons in the lab oratoiies at the university. While Dr. Lyons’ experiments were carried on with the idea of ascertaining the prop erties of solutions of sodium and cai cium as a life restorer, the announce ments made by a Russian specialist some time ago regarding experiments made with the heart of a dead child are said to have been the immediate motive. “If a heart be taken from a baby after death, and the regular beat tem porarily restored by immersing it in a solution of salt,” argued Dr. Lyons, “why caunot the heart of warm-blood ed animals be restored by an injection of salt* into the veins if done when the animal 1* at the point of death " PRICE FIVE CENTS.
