McLendOn's Friends Hopeful.

The friends of the deposed chair
man are insisting that the Legisla'
ture in considering and acting upon
Gov. Smiths order cannot go behind
the reasons therefor given in his Of
fetal message to the Legislature. Any
other matters bearing upon the ser
vice of Commissioner McLendon,
which became subsequently known or
were then known to members of the
General Assembly, must be taken up
in another form as furnishing ground
for removal. If the Lower House be-
lieves there are sufficient grounds for
impeachment proceedings, his friends
say, they will ignore the Governors
message and prepare articles of i'm
parchment against Chairman McLen-
don and the Senate will have to try
the case on its merits.
At the present time the McLendon
men are rather in the attitude of fore
ing the issue

New Laws of Taxation.

The main argument being used by
the advocates of a constitutional CON
ventiOn is the absolute necessity for 4
comprehensive and sane revision of
the laws governing taxation in Geor-
gia. According to Attorney General
John c. Hart, the Georgia system is
100 years behind the times and am
cunts to practically little more than
passing around the hat and receiving
voluntary contributions. A number of
proposals for amendments to the state
constitution to permit the formation
of new counties and for other pur-
poses are now pending before the
Legislature and have been sidetracked
antil the main question of whether or
not there is to be a convention, is
settled

Task Ended BY Committee.

The joint investigating committee
of the two houses of the General AS
sembly have completed their task of
collecting evidence in the McLendon
case. According to the view of Mr..
Anderson of Chatham, they were
mere animated monographs, any
way"
1t requires the approval by both
houses of eX-Gov. Smiths act to COM
plete the suspension of Commissioner
McLendon. If one house fails to act
and the Legislature adjourns, he will
be returned to office by the operation
of law If both houses by a majority
vote uphold the suspension order, he
will go out

NAB MACONIANS AT GRAPHING
Bunch of Eleven Are Marched to tbs
Jail

Macon, Ca, July 26.-Deputies from
Sheriff Robertsons office went on
their usual raid last night, but in
stead of bringing in negroes as has
been the custom for months, crowd
of eleven white men were locked up
charged with gambling. Many of
them made strong efforts to keep
from going to Jail, but the deputies
were stern and unused to the habit
of turning their men loose. The cases
will be taken into the city court this

Heavy Work Yet Ahead.

In addition to these big problems
of legislation the major part of the
serious work of the session remains
to be done. Consideration of the gen
eral tax act not only began on Fri
day This measure and the appropri-
alton bills are yet to be acted upon in
both houses. So the prospects are
that the members of the Georgia Gen
eral Assembly in the time that re-

Line of Battle Drawn.

Everything that has happened up to
the present time was of a preliminary
character. The lines of battle are
drawn up, however. The plans Of
campaign have been made, and now
We will see the lines uncovered and
the skirmish begin.
In addition to the consideration of
the discharging of Mr.. McLendon
from the Railroad Commission, the
Legislature faces the prospect of a
spirited fight to amend the prohibi-
ton law of the state by annihiliating
near beer, providing for a tax con-
ference to discuss and devise a COM
prehensive and equitable taxation sys-
TEN, or a constitutional convention
which will remodel the organic law
of the state.

SOME INVENTIONS.

Chargem Lofts, the well-known ice
man, has perfected his ice box and re-
frigerator on which he has been work
ing for several years. The invention
is not only ingenious, but remarkable
in its way. Beneath the ice chamber
is placed a fiat fire box, which has a
smokestack running up the back of
the refrigerator. In the fire box may
be burned coal or wood, or If desired
gas burner may be connected. Mr.
Lofts figures that by it's use a hun
dred-pound cake of ice may be melted
in two hours.
Mr.. Whizzan Bumpp, the renowned
auto manufacturer, has completed his
new photograph attachment for his
1907 model. The photograph is con-

and Is so regulated that whenever a
breakdown occurs 1t will begin by
saying Isn't this aggravating?" and
will then go right along from Cant

The Indians refute this by saying the
bean Is a part of their religion: that

the Winnebagoes to chew beans and
