TWO DRIVERS ARE ; SELECTED FOR
 HURRY=UP WAGON
But There Will Be No Joy Rides, or Speed Contests,
 Because Meter Will Tell
Prisoners Soon to Be Rush ed to Lock Up in $3,5OO Vehicle Made In Bridge port-Patrick Lynch and Patrolman McGirr Will Run It.

At the meeting of the Board of Po- lice Commissioners this evening the auto-patrol wagon will be the subject of discussion. Two men will be de- tailed from the department as drivers of the machine. The two men to be selected are Driver Patrick Lynch and Patrolman John McGirr. The board has practically agreed upon these men.
 The new patrol automobile will be ready on July 13, or before, if the To- comobile Company can finish the work The contract calls for the de- livery of the machine on that date, but the company has promised to rush the work and it will probably be ready to be turned over to the Police depart ment before July 1. The contract price is s3,5OO and the board believes it is making a good bargain. The tonaeau will seat ten men and twelve can be crowded in if necessary. The addition of a. Spededometer will prob ably bring the price up to s3,6OO.
 This addition will be a feature of the machine. It is proposed to buy the Recometer. This apparatus re- cords the speed of the machine at any and almost everything else necessary to give the commissioners accurate and undiSputable Information concern ing the movements of the car. There will be no joy rides with this machine without Q record for the observation of the commissioners.
 The Recometer is wound up once a. week, locked up and the key deposited in the inside pocket of one of the Po-. lice commissioners. Should some com plaint concerning the speed of the ma chine at a certain time be made to the all that is necessary t. obtain accurate information concern- ing it is to unlock the spedometer, consult the tape, and the evidence is disclosed.
 The old patrol wagon is now running on three wheels and the commissioners are hoping that it will last until the is delivered.

a GOOD EXAMPLE.

The proposal to reduce the cost
of the national government the com
ing fiscal year more than $103,0OO,-
900 gives general satisfaction. For
years the cost of keeping agoing the
affairs of the nation has shown pro-
nounced and steady advance, and
every attempt at retrenchment has
been pushed aside.
Now it looks as if a cut in the
cost of maintenance will have a bet
ter show. President Taft is anxious
Ito have the federal burden lightened,
and so are certain number of SEN
atOrs and representatives; but the
larger membership refrains from
speaking on the subject, as bills
calling for big sums from the ma
tons treasury, to be expended in the
various constituencies, prevent a
showdown of hands at this time.
The savings begin with the navy
department, which is Topped off $685.
100000, the treasury 100000,
war $6,O0O,OOO, postof1ce $1,000
OOO This is nearly half of the re-
duction. But the knife runs along the
whole gamut of expenditures, and
only in comparatively few cases are
the old figures retained.
To say nothing of the saving of
dollars and cents by the lessening of
taxes the moral effect would be con-
siderable. We would set the exam
pie of reducing expenditures for war
in the interest of economy, and in
behalf of peace between the nations.

Rev. DR.. Bingham, by assignment
of the bishop, has returned to the
Newman Methodist church, and the
sensation which was caused by an
Augusta church and some of the
clergy of Atlanta protesting against
this minister of many years of de-
vout and successful work in the Mas
ter's cause being sent to them has
subsided. DR.. Bingham may have
sinned some years ago, but that he
is now living an exemplary and chris
tan life is not questioned. He is
not being given a square deal, so to
speak. 1t looks as if he were being
bounded from his calling through the
Phariseeism of some of his lay and
ministerial brethren.

A NEW SANTTARIUM BOARD.

| Governor Brown has appointed a
new board of trustees for the State
Sanitarium, for the insane, to serve
for the next two years. Among the
number are only three of the old
board, seven new members being
named. The gentlemen who have
been commissioned by the Govern
or for this important trust are: John
T. Brantley, of Blackshear; Richard
Johnson, of Gray; H. H. Dean, of
Gainesville; DR.. J. c. Jarnagin, of
Warrenton; George S. Lowndes, of
Atlanta; DR.. n. Peterson, of Triton;
Dr.. Thomas R. Wright, of Augusta;
Henry Banks, of LaGrange; H. NJ.
Smith, of Rome and P. H. Gam
brell, of Macon. The three members
who were reappointed are John T.
Brantley, of Blackshear; Richard
Johnson, of Gray, and DR.. Thomas
R. Wright, of Augusta.
For sometime the Sanitarium has
been in the limelight through various
complaints and investigations, and
Governor Browns sweeping change
in the board of trustees will doubt
less be generally approved, and have
a salutary effect. A short while
before he retired from Office the for
mer governor appointed a commits
sion of three well-known Georgians
to investigate a number of charges
that had been made against the in
stitutiOn, and this commission report
ed that several of the patients had
been grossly mistreated declared
that two women inmates had been
kept for a whole day in the basement
of the building by employees of the
institution; asserted that tuberculo-
sis was f1ourishing to an alarming ex-
tent in the asylum, and found that
the class of employees was open to
criticism.
Of course, no one believes for an
instant that any of the old board of
trustees, who are high-minded Geor-
gians of unquestioned character and
patriotic impulses, knew of or would
for a second cOndone such things, but
the trouble at the Sanitarium has,
very likely, been that everybody con-
nected with it have been there so
long they have become careless
let things get into rut and run
along themselves, without anyone
knowing much of what is being done.
The appointment of a new board
is generally taken to mean that
there is going to be shake-up,
new blood put in, and the greatest
of all of Georgias charitable institu-
lions put on a better basis.

GRIGGS WILL GO BACK.

Jim Griggs' boom for governor
seems to worry the Washington Her
aid enough for comment requesting
that he be kept in Washington. He
won't be governor, that's sure, and
we can't say so much about his stay
ing in Washington too long-Thom-
asville Times-Enterprise.
We agree with our neighbor in the
belief that Judge Griggs won't be
governor, at least not next time, but
judging from his popularity in the
Second district, and from the way he
ran in the last race, we are inclined
to think he will stay in Washington
as long as he wants to.-Valdosta
Times.
The fear that Congressman Griggs
will not be kept in Washington
probably doesn't worry" the Wash
ington Herald so much as the other
end of the proposition-the fact that
the people of his district are not
likely to retire him as long as he
wants to serve them in congress
worries the brownsville Times-Enter-
prise.
The above comment is alright from
a non-partisan viewpoint or from out
side the district. 1t seems that the
people of the Second find that Uncle
Jeems can stay in Washington if he
tries real hard, Judging from past
experience; but the congressman him
self might not be so anxious for the
same old warmed-oYer seat if he has
a chance at something better

CORN GROWING IN THE SOUTH.

From the Birmingham Age-Herald.
There is room for hope that the
cotton belt will yet grow it's own
corn. A rivalry between the United
States government system as prac-
ticed on the demonstration farms
and the Williamson system has
sprung up, and there is room for
hope in the new rivalry. Each sys-
tenn is a vast Improvement over the
system of shallow blowing and
slovenly cultivation, and the adop-
ton of either Should. be matter of
cOngratulatiOn.
Every state in the cotton belt
should take steps to extend with all
possible rapidity the one system or
the other. Corn clubs are being
formed in many counties, and in
| these counties progressive farmers
are being induced to take half an
acre Of land, or even an acre, and
to grow corn on it according to the
one or the other system. Any meth
cd is better than the present old
time method, which affords an aver
age yield per acre of less than fifteen
bushels. Such yield lacks econo-
my. Such a yield is discouraging.
The corn club boys are producing
on an acre from sixty to eighty bush
els. Either system fully carried out
will work a wonderful change. And
if the south is to grow it's own corn,
thus keeping at home its cotton mon
ey it is plain it will come about
through improved cultivation either
/ under the government plan or the
| Williamson plan.
