TONGVE.TIED ORATOR
"A Story Told to Illustrate a Valuable
Everyday Fact.

TO, illustrate point I wish to
make" said Mr.. Voegeli of Voegeli
Bros. Drug Co., "let me tell you of an
orator who had the most wonderful
eloquence of any man I ever knew.
Yet he had a great misfortune. He
to make a speech he would stammer
and stutter and finally have to sit
down. Yet about once in five or six
times his trouble would vanish, and
then tell you he was simply grand.
Now, my point Is this: Old-fash-
ioned cod liver oil is like that orator.
Once in great many cases it does
immense good, but oftener than not
the sticky, nasty oil or the unwhole-
some materials used to make it into
an emulsion so interfere with diges-
ton that all it's medicinal value is lost.
Yet we know genuine strength build
Ing curatives are enveloped in the oil.
How shall we get these valuable
health building, medicinal elements
without taking the oil also?
THAT question was answered by the
two great French chemists, Gautier
their great discovery of separating
the curative medicinal elements al
ways known to exist in the Gods liver,
from the oil or useless part.
1.-THE product is known as Vinol--
which actually contains all that is
incidentally good of cod liver oil, with
out a drop Of oil or any disagreeable
feature-thus producing the grandest
tonic reconstruction known to medi-
cine. Vino1 is making ark
able cures as tonic and restorative
where old-fashioned cod liver oil
failed. We guarantee it to make
strength for the weak, vitalize the old,
cure coughs hanging-on colds and
bronchial troubles. If it does not, 1t
won't cost you cent to try it."

Tax Bate May BE Lower.

Within the next few days Governor
Terrell and Comptroller General
Wright will fix the etate tax rate for
1904.
While no definite conclusion on the
matter has been reached it is learned
that the tax rate for 1904 will be less
than ) mills. The governor and the
comptroller general have not finished
figuring on the matter yet, ana will
not do so until all the returns have
been received
However, the governor is satisfied
that they will be able to make the
rate less than 5 mills though just how
much less it is impossible to predict
at present.
The fact, however, that there will
be a reduction in the state tax rate
this year will be welcome news to
every section of the state. This tax
rate is to secure funds for expenses
for 1904. The appropriations bills just
passed by the general assembly were
for 1905, and the tax rate under which
the money appropriated for next year
will be raised, will not be made until
about September 1, 1905.

about $4,000 GOO even.
The railroads and public utility cor.
porations have also shown gocdly
increase and given evidence that they.
too, have been enjoying their share
of the general prosperity, the increase
in the railroads, for instance, being
.$1,500,0G0 This, with the individual
increases, will amount to s24500,000,
in round numbers
This increase taxed at mills will
turn into the state Golfers the sum OF

is deducted, about 100000.

Black Cats Island.

There is an island in Puget Sound,
rot more than half a mile across,
which is so thickly populated with
cats that they may be seen cover
ing the rocks on a sunny day, from
the riggings of passing vessels.
The cats number many thousands,
and the strangest thing is that they
are all black. Every evening a boat
load of fishermen land on the island
and lay out seine a quarter of a mile
long. They pull it in with never less
than a ton Of fish, but next morning
these fish are gone. The cats devour
them all.
These cats have been placed here
by men who are supplying the mar
ket with women's muffs. Once a year
there is a great roundup, and several
thousand pussies lose their lives.

cuRes MONEY LENDERS.
Georgia Legislature, at Last Moment
passes the "AntI-shark" Bill.

Passes the "Ant-ShaFk" Bill
The money shark" bill was favora-

lature at the closing session and will
now become law.
Despite the strenuous and determin-
ed opposition of Mr. Hall, of Bibb, who
fought it at every turn, and left no
stone unturned to accomplish its de-
feat. the house adopted the substitute
reported by the general judiciary com
mittee by a vote Of 106 to "a, and
then passed the bill on rising vote, by
80 to Z.
Thus has the house put itself on rec
ord along with the senate in favor Of

rover, and warnings almost amount

tide of votes in the measures favor.

rover, amount, date of maturity, etc.
Section 8 provides that these books
shall be open to the inspection Of the
ordinary or grand jury of the county
wherein the business is located.
Section 10 provides that fees for
investigating the security or title may

Fifty cents for amounts Of S. or
less; seventy cents for amounts be-
tween IS and $40; one dollar for
amounts between $40 and $40; one dol

fee charges are left to be settled on a
fair basis between borrower and lend
er, provided such charges do not ex-
coed 6 per cent of the amount Of the
loan.
Section II provides that all pay

is the same with the judges of the
superior courts, whose new terms
practically ali begin On January / next,
that is for all those who are elected
at the coming election.
Strangely enough, however the bill
operates to the decided disadvantage
Of Associate Justices Andrew ]. Cobb
and John S. Gambler. Justice Cobb will
not get the advantage of the increased
salary until January i, 1909, when
his new term will begin, if he is
elected in 1908. Notwithstanding the
fact that they must wait for three
and five years to get the increased
salaries, they must, in common with
all other judges, give up any free
railroad passes ana franks, which
courtesies may have been extended
to them.
Educational Conference Resolutions
The Georgia Educational Conference
at its session at the summer schoo!
in Athens passed some important res
olutions, a condensed report Of which
we give below:
Education is the right of every
child born into a civilized common
wealth, right that is independent If
circumstances Of life or conditions OF
fortune. To guarantee and secure to
the children Of the state the oppoT
tunity for such development is the
prime duty of organized society.
We rejoice in the fact that Georgia
was the earliest in the Union to rec
ognize these fundamental truths oy

first system Of public schools; was the
first to grant a charter comforting

mer.
We note with unbounded gratifca.
ton the evidences of cordial and prac.
tically unanimous support given il
all the counties of the state to the
pending constitutional amendment
permitting local taxation for public
schools.
We deplore the agitation for talk
ing away from the negro schools the
support they have for thirty years pas
had in Georgia, and limiting theE
support to negro taxes alone. It Wouii
be an unspeakable calamity to strike
down this policy which has been our
proud boast and the complete cindi
cation of our justice and kindness
TO the negro. AS soon let US say that
the poor counties of the state should
receive for education only the taxes
paid in by them; or that in any com
munity the monies derived from the
wealthy be expended upon the wealthy
and only those of the poor upon the
poor. Such a measure against negro
schools would be violation of that
high obligation which the superior
race by virtue of its power owes &c
the weak and disadvantaged race. This
existing educational policy has bean
confined in its administration to the
whites alone, enabling boards of edG
cation in each county to adjust the T.

No Money Provided for Judges.


An interesting oversight on the part
of the general assembly is general
~ commented on at the capitol. While
the legislature passed a bill increas.
ing the salaries of judges of the su,
preme and superior courts to $4,000
and So coo, respectively, and the sal
airy of the governor to $4,000, it failed
to appropriate any money to pay the
increases given.
This makes it necessary for the judg-
es to wait until after the legislature Of
1905 appgopriates the money to pay
the back salary increases, to which
they will be entitled under this bill,
before they can get the money.
The bill provides that the increases
