CONGRESSMAN SULZER EXPOSES
FRAUDULENT DEAL.
Standard Oil Company Have Been
Holding the Federal Government
Up for $IJO,6OO Year on Gus
tom House, and Evading State
and CITY Taxes.

After many pers sistent but unsuccessful
efforts, Congressman Sulzer has al last
shamel congtess into refusing the annual
appropriation oi 100000 to the Standard
Oil ank, on account OF the fiau,iulent
transfer to it bv the Federal government
of the New York custom house during
Mckinlev's administration. This prop
ertv is still used by the United States as
custom house, precisely as it has been
for many years past and will be for many
wears to come There was no good rea.
son for selling it. There was very
good one for not sslling it, for sites have
been rising where this property is stu-
ated and are rising still. 1t is worth
much more nov than when it was sold,
and that was expected Yet, under the
Mckinley administration. it was sold,
by the treasury department, to bank
which is controlled by the Standard Oil
crowd, and of which a prominent official
OF the treasury department, Vanderlip,
soon after became a vice. president.
But little money has left the bank in
consequence, and no deed OF transfer has
been recorded; but the government re-
mains in possession only as tenant OF the
bank under contract to pay a rental OF
$3.50 800 year. Meanwhile, the title
still sta ding in the name OF the govern
ment on the records at New York, the
property goes untaxed.
Here was neat job to deprive the
governmenc OF the increase in site value
and give II to this Stand ard Oil bank; to
exempt the bank from local taxation on
its purchase; to effect the purchase by
the bank from the government by merely
transferring an account OF government
funds in the bank from one ledger page
to another; to change the governments
relation to its own property from owner
ship to tenancy; and to tap the govern.
ment treasury for $3.50, 800 year in the
name OF rent. The transaction is so
boldly fraudulent that the wonder is that
Mr.. Sluzer, with all his pertinacity,
could never before prevent congress from
paying over the annual bit OF "swag."
Now that he has done this much, it is to
be hoped that he may be able to 60 fur
ther and have the fraudulant contract
overhauled and its perpetrators exposed.

San Saba Raising a Bonus.

San ShDa news,
A representative body of the
business men of San Saba met at
Judge Allison's office yesterday
afternoon and decided to make
an effort to raise bonus OF
$4,000 to offer some company as
an inducement to construct q
railroad from San Saba to Croth.
ers. The plan to raise the bonus
is to make an assessment on the
real estate within the limits of
the San Saba Independent School
District. John f. Campbell, r.
w. Burleson and S. E. Kelley
were appointed a committee to
secure the valuation of the prop
erty, and report to a meeting to
be held at the court house at 4
O'Clock p. M, Wednesday, May

meeting. The assessment does
not mean you have to pay any
thing, but everyone is expected to
do his duty.

better treatment, better laws and
better attention. The old world
of ours has awakened to the fact
that there is n useless sacrifice of
life in permitting over 1000, 900
deaths year from this scourge of
earth. In our country over $780,
600 die annually from this dread
ed consumption.
We are appalled, at the report
of an accident in which a steamer
is burned and thousand lives
are lost. Our sympathies go out
to the fate of miners lost by the
score in the gloomy depths of
mines. and we read of railroad
wrecks with a shudder of horror,
but we see these doomed victims
drop off one by one ana we do
not realize the number of them
that pass to the great beyond
from this dread destroyer.
All honor then to those who
are here today to try to check
this stream of death, which, when
the cold statistics are received
! chills one with horror. Goo

Out of Doors.

One of the most charming bits
of spring verse ever written APP
pears in the May cosmopolitan"
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. A
two-page drawing sympathetically
and beautifully lnterprets the
spirit of the lines:
"Just to be out of doors! So still!
So green!
With unbreathed air, illimitable,
clean,
With soft, sweet scent of happy
growing things,
The leaves soft flutter, sound of
sudden wings,
The far faint hills, the water wide
between.
BREAST of the great earth-mother!
Here we lean
With no conventions hard to in
tervene,
Content, with the contentment
nature brings,
Just to be out of doors.
"And under all the feeling half
foreseen
Of what this lovely world will
come to mean
To all of us when the uncounted
strings
Are keyed Alright, and one clear
music rings
In all our hearts. Joy univer-
sal, keen,
Just to be ont of doors"

BUSY SESSION WELL ASSURED.

Happy on the way to Georgia's
political Mecca the legislator, grip
in hand, goes hiking next week,
the summer session of the general
assembly converting on Wednesday,
2Sth. And for fifty days the max
inc and unmaking of laws will hold
the attention of the man behind
the tax receipt, who pays the b1lls
and is supposed to be the boss.
Members worshipping at the
Shrine recently, bit in advance
of the main herd, declare this is
going to be a working session, and
one without junketing trips, for it
will require close and concentrated
application to give proper consld-
GRAFTON to all the important matters
in hand.
The new county legislation will
go to a special committee, which
will have authority to make full
and detailed investigation, and to
report with recommendations. The
general appropriations and general
tax acts must be given careful at
Itention, and this time, it is said
Ithere will be considerable new mat
( ter in connection with them.
The first four days of the session
will be devoted solely to organiza-
ton and preliminary proceedings.
Hon. John M. Slaton of Fulton
will be elected Speaker and Hon.
John t. Boifeullet of Bibb clerk of
the House without opposition.
Over in the Senate it is different,
for there is a warm race for the
presidency, with w. S. West OF
Lowndes, Murphy Gambler OF De
Kalb, B. S. Miller of Muscogee,
and A. O. Blalock of Fayette in
the running. Hon. G. S. Northern
of Fulton, however, will be elected
again as secretary of the Senate
without opposition.
The Governors message will be
read either on Wednesday, the
opening day, or the day following
This document will, it is stated, be
comparatively brief one, but will
contain several important recon-
mendations, some of which have
appeared in his messages to former
legislatures.
The Speaker of tM House and
President of the Senate will prob
ably announce their committees on
Thursday, the day following the
opening of the session. There will
be work for these committees to dc
almost from the start, for during
the opening days many members
will come with their bills already
drawn, and they will fire them at
the clerks desk at the first oppOr
tunity in order to get an advanta-
geous position on the calendar.
