New York, April Investigation
of the sentiment in savings bank Off
ciaI circles has developed the fact,
according to the Herald that an in
crease in the mortgage rate made by
every savings bank in New York is
to result in the firm establishment of
the higher rate at least for the re-
mainder of the year The prevailing
rate is about 4 Il per cent with an oc-
casional loan at 5. An idea of the
importance attached to this move may
be gathered from the fact that the
savings banks of New York state have
about half a mill4r dollars invested
in mortgages.
officials of the savings institutions
deny any attempt at combination and
say the higher rates are merely IN
line with the general financial state
prevailing.

BOARD ELECTS MEMBERS.
The Terms of Three School Com
missioners Expire.

The terms of Messrs. A. !. Carver,
W. C. Kendrick and r. L Melton as
members of the board of city school
commissioners expired in December,
and at a meeting of that body Monday
afternoon Messrs. Carver and Melton
were elected to succeed themselves.
Under the law the terms of three
members expire every two years, the
school board electing the successors OF
two and the city council the successor
of one. At the next meeting OF the
council it is very probable that Dr.
Kendrick will be elected to succeed
himself, and the valuable services OF
all three OF these gentlemen whose
terms recently expired be retained.
All OF these gentlemen have made
efficient members of the board, and
their reelection will give general sat
isfaction.

HOW HYOMEI HELPS THE HEALTH.
Kills the Germs of Grip, Catarrh and Colds
costs Nothing If 1t Falls" Say the
Dawson Drug Company.

Now that Hyomei can be obtained
in nearly every town and city in the
country, it is possible to buy from
druggists health giving climate to
be carried IN the purse or pocket. By
breathing it few minutes four times
day you can soon cure grip, coughs
colds and even the worst and most
chronic cases of catarrh.
The Dawson Drug Company have
seen so many remarkable cures made
by the Hyomei treatment that they
sell it with the positive agreement to
return the money if it fails to cure.
A complete outfit costs but $1.00, and
consists of pocket inhaler, medicine
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several. weeks.
It effects a cure in the worst catarrh
al troubles and if breathed at the com.
mencement OF a cold or grip will
check it quickly and prevent sickness.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for SOC.
When breathed through the inhaler
the germ killing and health giving
Hyomei goes to the most remote cells
of the throat and lungs, Killing all
the catarrhal germs, soothing the
irritated mucous membrane and vital
izing the blood with ozone.
Al this season of the year every
one should have a Hyomei outfit to
prevent and cure catarrhal troubles,
and ward off attacks OF grip, pneu-
monia and similar germ diseases.

THAT DISTRICT COURT BILL
NOW IT IS MACON THAT PROTESTS
AGAINST THE GRIGGS MEASURE.
Some of the Enterprising Attorneys
There Fear 1t Might Be the Means
of Their Losing Fee.

The bill of Congressman Griggs
now introduced in the national house
of representatives, which has for it's
object the establishment of a division
of the federal court with headquarters
at Albany, is becoming subject of alb
sorbing interest, especially in some
cities and towns which have no direct
interest in the matter.
The latest protest comes from Ma
con. which is not only not in the judi
cial district in which majority of the
counties that will be affected are To-
Gated, but is more than hundred
miles distant. The Macon chamber
of commerce has passed a resolution
requesting Senator Bacon and Con-
gresham Bartlett to oppose the meas.
ure, and it is announced that meet
ing of the Macon bar will also be held
co join in the protest. Under the
present conditions these gentlemen
get some business in small number
of the counties that will form part of
the new division, and it is perhaps
natural that they should consider
prospective fees instead Of the conyen-
ience of the people of this section.
Under the bill the proposed new d.
vision will embrace the counties OF
Baker, Clay, Early, Quitman, Ran
dolph, Terrell and Webster taken from
the western division of the northern
district with headquarters at Colum-
bus, and the counties of Berrien, Col
quit, Decatur, Mitchell sand Worth
from the southwestern division of the
southern district.
Most of these counties have sent
Judge Griggs strong petitions favor
ing the new court at Albany, while
two or three.haye requested that they
be left out. The wishes of these lat
ter counties will be respected, and
they will not be disturbed, but the
protests of outsiders will not be re-
garded.
The new division will be formed
and will embrace the counties whose
people want it, regardless of outside
interference.

BURY THE INDECENT DEAD.
CITIZEN THINKS CITY AND COUNTY
ARE NOT DOING THEIR DUTY.
People Who Die without Family, Friends
or Money Should Be Put Away With
out Public Subscription.

Frequently it Is necessary to ask
public subscriptions for the purpose of
burying INDECENT persons who are
without family or friends, and it has
called forth the following communica-
ton from a citizen. 1t seems that
there should be some provision by
both the city and county for putting
away the dead of this character:
"BURY THE INDECENT DEAD"
"Every municipality and every coun-
ty should nave constantly on hand a

family, friends or money When d
person becomes absolutely dependent
and helpless it is the duty of those
more fortunate to care for them. The
laws of decency, the laws of humanity
and the laws of God demand this.
When a poor mortal becomes essen
TALLY helpless, no matter from what
cause this helplessness arises, wheth-
err from Encouragement, misfortune,
mistakes or prOfigate living, such
mortal ia still human being and de-
serves the sympathy and help of 9th
ers. The breast that is closed against
the cries OF the poor is indeed to be
pitied. The town or county that is too
parsimonious to bury the unfortunate
dead who are without family, friends
or money deserves the censure of
every worthy citizen.
