New Auto Plates For 1912.

Black auto number plates will sup
plant the pale blue steel signs on
every automobile in Iowa in 1912.
The lettering will be white.
The contract for $500 automo-
bile and motorcycle plates was let by
the executive council last week to the
Borreson Manufacturing Co. of ST.
Paul. The entire order will be de-
livered at the state house by Nov. l..
A saving of cents on every pair
of automobile plates delivered will
be made. This year the cost of each
pair of plates, including postage, was
SO cents. Next year the delivered
cost of the state will be "A cents.
The plates contracted for weigh a
trife less than the ones now in use.
No change has been made in the
size of the plates, which is fixed by
the provisions of the Kulp law. The
white border around the plate will
not be used next year. One improve
ment in the new plates will be the
round corners. The square corners
on the plate now in use caused some
adverse comment The strap holes
in the new plates are turned, which
will lessen the wear on the straps,
which soon cut through when the
edges of the holes are not turned.
The new plate has no backing but is
reinforced by countered edge. The
back of the plate is finished like the
front to prevent rusting.
Secretary of State w. c. Hayward
through whose Office the license bust
ness of the state is transacted, plans
to have plates ready for delivery to
every automobile owner In Iowa by
Jan. 1, 1912. He is going to send
out a request to automobile owners
to send their applications in during
November and December of this year.
Each application will be filed, and
the plate bundles stamped for deliv-
cry. On the first day of the new year
the car loads of plates will be de-
livered to the transportation COM
panies.
The contract is divided as follows:
$4,000 single auto plates, or $1,000
pair; 1000 pair of motorcycle plates,
and $500 dealers numbers.

Ottawa is growing rapidly. The
population by the census ten years
ago was 10000. The results of the
recent census have not been announc-
ed. but it is believed that the enum-
orators counted at least 5000 peo-
pie. Public and private improvements
keep pace with the population. The
assessments have increased more
than S1O,000,000 during the year
1910 and reached the total of $780,
100000; the bank clearings have
increased s50,00O,0O0 during the
last five years, and in 1910 the total
was 95,753, 1893. Nearly $4,000
600 worth of new buildings we're
erected that year, and during the
current year the total will be much
larger.
Plans for the extension of the gov
eminent buildings are being carried
ments which are now in rented quar-
tiers.
A grand new union railway station
is nearly completed, and adjoining
the park that surrounds the parlia-
ment house, the Grand Trunk rail-
way has just finished the Chateau
Laurier, which will be one of the
finest hotels on the American conti-
nent.
The government is spending ST.
100000 year in the extension and
Improvement of the park system and
has made highly decorated boule-
ward from the center of the city to
the agricultural department and ex-
perimental farm in the suburbs. Out
side the city natural forest of 1000
acres has been opened for the use OF
the public and is highly appreciated
as playground and resort.

BLEW OFF HEAD
WITH SHOTC UN
D. HARRIS, cOLoRED, COMMITTED
SJiCiLE IN HE ~lTf YES.
TERDAY MORNING.

D. Harris, a well-known Brunswick
negro, employed as porter at the store
@ S. H. Kress G Co., shortly after s
@ clcck yesterday morning, blew the
entire top portion of his head off with
n single barrel shotgun at his home,
1901 London street.
Harris reported for duty at the
Kress store yesterday morning, but
remained about the store for only a
short time, returning to bis home.
Here he planned to suicide and, fail
ing in his first effort, the negro delib-
erately placed another shell in the
gun, pulled the trigger for the second
time and scattered portions of his
skull and brains all over the room.
Neighbors heard the first discharge
of the gun, but paid very little atren-
tion to 1t. In few minutes the Sec
ond report was heard and then the
police were notified. Officers respond
ed at once and upon entering Harrias
room they were shocked to see the
dead negro lying on the floor with his
head almost entirely shot off. The
shot from the first discharge Of the
gun had entered the side Of the wall,
the negro evidently missing his aim,
but the entire second load entered
his head with the desired result.
The negro did not leave any no:o
or anything to Indicate why he de-
sired to end his life, but 1t is under
| stood that he has been in bai health.
In his pockets was found a note book
containing several references to his
intention to end his life.
Harris was 35 years of age and
leaves a widow and one child.

NOW BUSY WITH

Representative Alexander is Alarmed
ID by Big Appropriations Made by the
Legislature - Other Doines of the
Georgia Lawmakers.

Atlanta, Aug. 15.-This was quite
busy d. i'll both branches of the
Georgia legislature and a number of
bills were passed and other matters
disposed of. .-9iGNsN
In the senate a resolution was
passed providing for an investigation
into the Soldiers Home. resolu-
tion calling for afternoon sessions
during the remainder of the present
session was defeated The senate
passed a bill to create bureau of
labor.
Bills providing for special appro-
priations amounting to $102,S00 were
passed this morning by the house. AS
a result of this action, the house in
two days time has added $137,S00 to
the total appropriations, which min
ority in the house has already con-
sidered to be excessive.
According to an estimate by Repre-
sentative Alexander, of DeKalb, the
addition of these special appropria-
tions increase the total amount Of
appropriations by the state for the
next year to $6,124,S00 and he doubts
seriously II the states income during
the next year will amount to
$5,7DO,OO0

CITY COURT BILL
PIGEON HOLED
BY COMMITTEE
PEOPLE WIN OUT AND OFFICERS
WILL NOT GO ON THE
FEE SYSTEM.
Bill Has Been unfavorabIy Reported
by Senate Committee and Will Not
Come Up Again During the Present
Session of Legislature.

The bill placing the officers of the
city court OF brunswick on the fee
system basis, which was introduced
and passed by the house by Repre-
sentative Butts on the request of the
county commissioners, will not De
passed by the senate, and consequent
ly the measure, which has been stub
bornly fought by majority of the
people of the county who are opposed
to the adequated fee system, will not
be passed by the senate, having been
pigeoned-holed by the senate commit
tee.
When the bill came up for hearing
before the senate committee several
days ago there was a storm of protest
from the people of the county. Petit
tions and letters galore were received
and read, and the members of the
committee at once reached the con-
clusion that the bill was very un-
popular one. While these petitions
and letters were received opposing
the bill, not a single letter was be-
fore the committee in favor of the
bill and the only support that the
measure had was the recommendation
of the county commissioners.
Whether the committee simply side
tracked the bill or whether or not it
was unfavorably reported is not
known, but news has been received
In the city that there is no possible
change for the passage of the meas
ure at the present session It Is be-
lieved, however, that with the strong
protest made against the bill, that
the committee reported unfavorably,
which means the death of the meas
ure.
Senator King, who was requested
| by the county commissioners to have
| the bill passed, wrote friends in
! Brunswick asking for an expression
Fon the subject and he was at once
showered with letters of protest. The
petition which was forwarded to him
contained the names Of many prom
inent citizens, while many individual
letters were also written.
1t now appears that the members
| Of the commissioners are the only
ones whwo faxorf+' the passage Of the
bill The officers of the court, who
would be affected more than anybc bcdv
else by the measure, have not taken
any stand either for or against the
bill, but it is understood that most of
them were against 1t.

WAR STARTTD ON
EXPRESS RATES
ASSOCIATION OF
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS
INACCURATE FIGHT.

Chicago, Aug ia movement that
is expected to spread over the entire
nation, having as it's object the re-
duction of express rates and the
eventual abolition of express compan-
les, will probably be instituted by the
American Association of Railway
Commissioners, the Subcommittee OF
which met here today to complete the
report of it's inquiry into the express
business. The association consists of
the railroad commissioners Of all the
states and is a powerful and infuen-
tial body. 1t is expected that the re-
port of the committee will be prac-
tically finished during the meeting,
commenced today, and will be in
readiness to present to the meeting Of
the general association to be held in
Washington in October.
majority of the members OF the
committee favor the entire abolition
of the express companies as useless
middlemen and as "barnacles and parl
asites on the commerce of the ma
ton" Congress will probably be
asked at its next session to enact i'm
legislation to govern the ex
press business.

AN OLD-TlMER DEAD.
August Frazier, CoIored, Slave of the
Dart Family, Gone to His Rest.

There passed away at ST. Simon
island yesterday an aged colored
man, who deserves some mention and
whose life work might be an exam
pie for the members of his race.
Uncle" August was a slave, belong
ing to the late Major o. Dart and dur
ing the war, at the offer of freedom
from his bondage, refused to desert
his old master. after the war. he
remained in the employment of the
Dart family, and even unto death was
true to its members.
The following appreciation of him
from Col J. E. Dart is appropriate:
Editor of The News:
81 heard today August Frazier was
dead at st. Simon. What a flood of
memories comes over me as | think
of his faithful services, of his fidelity
to our family through all the hard
ships and privations we went through
from '61 to '65; how when the
launches of the blockaders at st.
Simons raided the upper waters of
Turtle river, offered him freedom II
he would desert his old master; how
he refused and told the office in
charge of the launch his old mas .er
was his best friend and he wanted no
freedom for no one would take care Of
him in his old age except his young
masters. His young masters were
faithful to the faith he had in them;
he always had home at Judge IIor-
ace Darts home so long as he wanted
one; he went to ST. Simons to spend
his last days with his son. he never
wanted for a dollar in his declining
years. August was the last of the
old darkies Of the Dart family.
--~<5.zsesssssyT
"'What though no rosy tints adorned
his face,
No silken tresses shone with flowing
grace,
Yet Of ethereal temper was his soul,
And in his veins the tide Of Honor
rolled
"He was faithful and true, no mat
ter what his color was.
