ELECT HIM.

II would be graceful thing for the
Legislature to elect Hon. A. S. Clay
Speaker pro. TEN. of the House.
North Georgia deserves some recog-
milton, and in honoring Steve Clay
with the position, the members would
honor themselves. We don't know
that he wants it, but we know we
would be pleased to see him have it,
or the Speakership either. He is
well-versed in parliamentary usage,
and would make an impartial and
able presiding officer.

Mr.. Blaine in a speech at Pitts
burg, Pa, said that negro laborers
in Southern iron mills received nine
ty cents for a days work and cited
Chattanooga as one of the places.
The Times investigated the matter
and finds that the colored laborers
get the same wages that the white
men, sl.00, 1925, $3.50 and 50 per
day, owing to skill and responsibility
required to fill the places, and some
colored laborers get 50 and 81 per
day as puddlers and foundry men.
White and colored work harmonious
ly together, something that the
Northern workmen wont do.

STATE TREASURER ENJOINED.

James P. Harrison has filed bill
of injunction against Treasurer Har-
deman enjoining him from cancelling
the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad bonds, $4,000, under act of
the last Legislature. The bill was
filed Friday night, and the allega-
cations therein were on the following
grounds:
Because as tax payers of said coun-
ty, the amount of taxes annually lev
led and collected from them would
be increased in the ratio that the
amount of said bonds bear to the
amount necessary to legitimately
support the State government and
public institutions, (said amount is
now unknown to your orators, but
they pray when ascertained it may
be incorporated in this, their bill.
Second, because the resolution un-
der which said railroad company
propose to ask the surrender of said
bonds, and under which the said
Hardeman, as treasurer aforesaid,
proposes to make it, is void and OF
no legal force and effect on the fol-
lowing ground, to-wit:
Said act is in direct conflict with
article I, section 3, paragraph l OF
the constitution IF the State of Geor-
gia, which declares that the credit
of the State shall not be pledged OF
loaned to any individual, company,
corporation or association"
2. Said resolution is in direct vio-
lation of article 7, section Is, para
graph /, which says "The General
Assembly shall not by vote, resolu-
ton or order, grant any donation OF
gratuity in favor of any person, cor
poration or association.
3. SAID resolution is a direct viola
ton of Art. d, Sec. 1, Par. l, of the
Constitution of the State which says
"The Superior Court shall have ex-
elusive jurisdiction in cases of d.
vOrce in criminal cases where the Of
fender is subjected to loss OF life OF
confinement in the peRitentiary, in
cases respecting titles of land and
equity cases" The complainant al.
leges that such course would in
jure him in increasing his taxes.
Application for the writ of injunc-
ton was made to Hon. Joel c. Fain,
of the Cherokee Circuit, because
Hon. James X. Brown, of the Blue
Ridge Circuit, was disqualified, be-
ing stakeholder in the road. Judge
Fain has set2 o'clock p. m, Monday
9Th day OF November for hearing,
in the meantime restraining the de-
PENDANTS of the NJ. d n. Ga. Railroad
from receiving the bonds and Treas.
urer llardeman from surrenderinp
said bonds.

A pair Of knaves worked an old,
old swindle on simple citizen of
Reading, Pa. One OF them went in
to cigar store carrying violin, and,
after buying cigar, asked to be al
lowed to leave the instrument there
tor an hour or so. His request was
granted. Pretty soon knave number
two came in and bought a cigar, saw
the violen, examined it, admired it.
praised it, and wanted to buy it. The
cigar man explained how it happen
ed TO be in his store. Then the
stranger offered to give him SIS if
he'd buy it when the owner came
back, and authorized him to 20 as
high as $50. Then he left and the
first man came back, refused $50 for
the violin, declined s35, and, finally,
with great hesitation, accepted $50
for it, because he needed the money.
Up to date the second m IN has not

The plowman examined the place

continued to cave in around the hole
made by the mule, until the mouth
of the hole is now the size of room.
