decided in ninety-fifth Georgia, 3O7, ex-
pressly declares that the power to grant
charters to street railways is alone with
the general assembly. The general rail-
way laws are inapplicable. The constitu-
ton provides that, before charter can be
granted to a street railway by the legis-
lature, there must be obtained the assent
of the municipal authorities of the city or
town where the line is to be operated. No
municipal assent was obtained for the
Peoples or the other line, and, even if
that precaution had been taken the Sec
rotary of state did not have the power to
grant the charter. The act of 1894 is
clearly, under that decision, unconstitu-

DISPOSAL OF THE SEWAGE.

Various Ways.
Health Officer LeHardy has received an
inquiry from the department of agricul-
ture at Washington on a subject that is
exceedingly interesting to him, relating.
as it does, to the disposal of garbage.
street sweepings and sewage. The de-
partment has started an Investigation as
to the agricultural value of such city
waste. The communication is from H.
w. Wiley, chief of division, and is as fol-
lows:
I'm view of inquiries recently addressed
to this department in regard to the agri-
cultural value of street sweepings, garb-
age and sewage, the Secretary of Agri-
culture has authorized me to undertake
an investigation of the extent of the use
of these materials as fertilizers in this
country, the results that have attended
their use, and the best method of apply
ing them to the soil. l wish to have the
benefit of your experience, particularly in
regard to the use of sewage in agricul-
ture. 1t is a well established fact that
where sewage must be turned into a
stream, it is better that il first be al
lowed to percolate through a layer of
soil, the soil being either specially pre-
pared filter bed, or only an ordinary farm.
with or without undertakings. Your
opinion as to the extent of the danger of
disseminating pathogenic organisms among
men and animals by the use of sewage
for the irrigation of field and garden crops
would be of value to us. If there has ever
come to your knowledge any evidence of
the spreading of diseases in this manner,
please make mention of the fact, and il
reports of them have been published. in
form me, if convenient, where such publi-
cations can be'found.
I'm addition to this, any further infor-
nation which would be of value to us in
preparing a report on this subject will be
appreciated"
DR.. LeHardy replied, stating that street
sweepings and garbage had been used here
for agricultural purposes for a number of
years, being dumped on farms surround
ing the city by permission of the owners,
but without remuneration to the city, and
when properly handled has proved valua-

Hardy replied that he can give no infor-

into streams met with the immediate APP

quest upon the department for literature

and Went to Jail.
The end to the contentious which have
been going on in the justice courts be-
tween s. A. Aaron and B. B. Deutscher,
do not even yet seem to be in sight. The
parties met again yesterday in Justice
Bevans' court, but this time the trial ter
minated in rather tragic manner.
Aaron obtained a bail in trover warrant
against Deutscher for the purpose of gain
ing possession of a book entitled Textile
Directory" A large amount of proof was
introduced before the magistrate on both
sides of the case. AT the conclusion, it
was decided that Deutscher had paid for
the book and that judgment would have
to go against Aaron. But when the judg-
ment of the court was announced, Aaron
did not seem to understand it, and asked
for an explanation.
''You see, Mr. Aaron" said the magis-
trate, "both Mr.. and Mrs. Deutscher
swear positively that you were paid for
the book"
This explanation of the court seemec
only to throw enough light on the mat
ter to stimulate the wrath Aaron was en-
deavoring to suppress. He could not hold

HELPED OUT THE SCHOOL FUND.
The Legislatures Action Explained
by Supt. AshmOre.

The Legislatures Action Explained
by Supt. AshmOre.
A serious embarrassment to the school
fund of the state would have resulted had
it not been for the recent action of the leg
islature in authorizing the state treasurer
to draw the amount Of the recent appro-
priation of 100000 from the treasury
April /. This was for the purpose of
mending a little inadvertence of the leg
islature during its last session, in appro-
priating that amount for the school fund.-
but not providing means for collecting the
additional tax by special levy.
The state school fund is derived from
various sources. The report of the COM
missioner, which is just out, gives the
following sources of revenue for 1897: Lii
quor tax, $4,000; shows, $4,000; dividends of
Georgia railroad stock, 81, 046; hire of con-
victs, $4,000; fees of oil inspectors, $4,000;
half rental Western and Alabama railroad,
$4,000; direct appropriation, 100000; poll
tax $226 S99, and guano, 5000.
At the last session of the legislature an
act was passed making the direct appro-
priation by the state 100000 additional,
or an aggregate of $1,000,000 But, while the
appropriation was made, the legislature,
as stated, did not make any provision for
the necessary tax levy to raise the fund.
AS the tax would not have been due, of
course, until next fall, the best course
was thought to be the one which was
adopted, in borrowing the $4,000 from the
general fund, and then paying it back
into the treasury from the school fund as
collected.
Superintendent Ashmore said yesterday
that the matter was noticed soon after
the adjournment Of the legislature. He
said the only alternative would have been
for the state to have either pursued its
present course in providing for the amount
or to have borrowed from other sources.

himself in tow. and arising to his feet in
full view of the spectators and the court.
he planted his feet firmly upon the floor
and shouted In a stentorian voice:
''She is a lar,"
As soon as the excitement had subsid-
ed the magistrate told Aaron that he
would either have to pay a
fine of S for contempt Of
court or so to Jail He was not able
to put up the money, and notwithstand-
ing he made all sorts of apologies for his
rashness, the magistrate committed him.

you will have

to undergo the operation of ovariotomy,
the cutting out of the ovary.
Yes, you will recover, at least hope
you will; but you will never be quite
the same woman again. Congestion of
the ovaries is fatal to health. If you
have any such symptoms be advised
in time take a medicine of specific
powersl You can find none better
than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, prepared especially to meet
the needs of woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggists.
Following we publish letter from
a woman in Milwaukee, which relates
how she was cured of ovarian trouble:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-I suffered with
congestion of the ovaries and infamma-
ton of the womb. Ihad been troubled
with suppressed and painful menstrual
ton from girl. The doctors told me
the ovaries would have to be removed.
1 took treatment two years to escape
an operation, but still remained in mis-
cradle healthi in both body and mind, ex-
pecting to part with Lny reason each
coming month. After using one bottle
of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound and package of Sanative Wash
was very much relieved. 1 continued
to use your remedies until cured. The
last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This, II know, l owe
entirely to the Vegetable Compound.
My gratitude is great, indeed, to the
one to whom so many women owe their
health and happiness. "-MRs. F. M.
