interest in the old Central is dominant
nevertheless.
The Central of Georgia railroad was

MERRITT is AFTER A
CHANGE IN THE LAWS.
Present Plan of EStimat-

SCHOOL EXPENSES ALL WRONG.
Commissioner Gives His Views on
SubieCt--WOuld Have School Year
Begin Sept. |. Instead of
January, ISt.
SCHOOL EXPENSES ALL WRONG.

Atlanta, June 28.-Claiming that
there have been losses each year to the
common school fund by the present
plan of estimating the annual ap-
portionment, State School Commits
sioner w. B. Merritt in his annual re-
port urges the legislature to change
the present methods of making esti-
mates. The report has been made to
the general assembly.
"Ny attention was directed to the
matter last December at the time of
making the apportionment for 1907"
he says.
The apportiOnment was delayed a
month and then the estimator could
not be made to include definitely the
fullest amount of the school fund for
1907, because at this time the returns
had%not been received of the school
funds coming into the treasury from
the preceding year.
81 have investigated the matter as
fully as my limited office force and
the pressure of business upon me
have allowed and lately / have found
it necessary to employ the services of
an expert accountant to continue this
work. There are many reasons why
the school year should begin Sept 1st
instead of Jan. Ist.''
Commissioner Merritt also strongly
urges a change in the state cOnstitu-
ton which will provide for the estab-
lishment of high schools with appro-
priations from the state. At the pres
ent time the Georgia legislature for
bids such an appropria ion, and the
report says the time is ripe for the
change of constitution.
Commissioner Merritt commends the
establishment of the district agri-
cultural schools, the educational work
of the women's clubs and school i'm
provements. A number of important
Legislative changes are urged. 1t is
one of the most comprehensive re-
ports issued by any state department
in many years.

VERY GINGERLY ABOUT BUILDINGS
Council Wants Old Structures Re-
paired.

Council has mustered up enough
pluck to tackle the old buildings be-
meath the water tower and tacetiously
called Buzzard Roost, with the pur-
pose of having it repaired or rendered
safe, should it be deemed unsafe.
This old rookery is one of the ancient
landmarks of Americus and one in
which the average citizen feell . pride
whatever. But it will be overL .uled,
no doubt, and stand for another hall
century in the midst of modern build
ings, ''spot of beauty on the land
scape as seen from the new Govern
ment building. The old Minis store
was also discussed and the usual ex-
tension of time generously granted to
prop up the shed and render it a trife
more presentable.

GOV. SMITH TO STAND A PROM
Will Stick By His Views Of the
Campaign.

Governor Hoke Smith, who will be
inagurated this morning, stated during
his campaign that if a prohibition bill
was passed that he would sign it. He
also said from the stump that he was
in favor of local option, and that while
he was opposed to the sale of liquor,
he believed that each county should
settle the matter for Itself. The Cover
nor is also known to be srrong anti
Jug man. He believes that liquor
should not be shipped into the dry
counties. and during the campaign
said from the stump that he thought
THIS practice should be stopped. The

SPEAKER JUSTICE AND THE

A correspondent of the Charlotte,

men and things down at Raleigh in
connection with the Legislature and
the politics of the State, says Speak
er Justice is being closely watched by
friends and foes. Crediting him with
being "brilliaut, fiery, ambitious, no
one doubts his ability, his cunning,
his energy, but many fear him. says
this writer. Continuing he says:
"Ambition spurs him on, it is an
open secret that he wants to be the
attorney general of North Carolina.
| have heard it intimated that Mr..
Robert Gilmer, now attorney general,
might resign his position on account
of i'll health and that Mr.. Justice
would succeed him. This is a rumor.
1t is declared by some who think
they know that Mr.. Justice has the
backing of such men as Judge Clark,
Josephus Daniels, W. W. kitchin and
Governor Glenn
That Justice should have the back
ing Of such men as Iosephus Daniels
and Judge Clark will hardly cause
surprise, but the position OF W. W.
kitchin and Gov. Glenn can be sur
missed only on the ground of the al

people will have something to say
about this when the time comes

The following simple homemade mixture
is said to readily relieve and overcome any
form OF rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys
to filter from the blood and system all the
uric acid and poisonous waste matter, re-

weak kidneys and bladder and blood dis
eases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to make,
and is said to be absolutely harmless, to the

Get the following harmless ingredients
from any good pharmacy: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa,
rilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well i'll

meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give prompt

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear THERE'S only
one way to cure Deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
lnflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
mat on can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an in1amed condition of the mucous surfaces
