State Highway Commission

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-The bill
recently introduced by Representa-
tive Blackshear in Richmond, which
provides for a state highway COM
mission, is one of the most widely
discussed bills that has come up
this session. The purpose OF the
measure, according to its champions
is to give the various counties
scientific aid and direction in the
building, improving and welding
toeether of the public roads of the
state.
The discussion brought forth by
the bill is an evidence of the great
interest in good roads in Georgia
and many believe that this bill will
solve many problems Of the question
The bill has been Endorsed by
various good roads associations trade
boards and officials, has been sane
toned by both Governors Brown and
Smith and has hundreds of cham
pions. Its author thinks that it will
be passed with practically no oppo-
,SitiOn.

To Give Appointing Power
To Governor.

Atlanta, July Ito make the
Governor directly responsible for
the judiciary Of the state by max
ing the selection of supreme, appel
late and superior court judges, and
solicitors general appointed by him
is the substance of a bill introduce
ed by Senator j. H. Felker of the
9th district and which is stirring
up 10 little talk throughout the
state. The bill asks that the gov
ernor appoint the judges and solic-
itors general and that they be con-
firmed by the senate instead Of
allowing the people to name these
officials at the ballot box,
The author of the bill is Of the
opinion that the people are tired OF
the present system of electing
judges and many senators agree
with him that more general salts
faction would be obtained if these
officials were appointed. The bill
means simply a return to the sys-
tenn in operation about six years
ago
Another bill of Senator Felker's
which is creating considerable
talk is that asking for a regulation
of the salaries of judges and sOlic-
itors deneral. The bill was intro
duced by Senator Felker at the re-
quest of the Georgia Bar Associ-
alton and fixes the salaries of
sumpreme and appellate court
judges at $4,000 annually, superior
court judges at $4,000 attorney
generals at $4,000 and solicitor
generals at $4,000.

Too Honest For A Convict.

Atlanta, July 11.-Governol
Smith has received a petition fol
pardon of a negro named VIII Neal
whose case is one of the most
unique that has ever come to light
The petition is based on the al
legation that the negro is too hon
est to be a convict.
It is said that when the warden
once turned the negro loose, forget
ting that he was to serve an ad-
ditional sentence, the negro thought
the matter over and decided that
he couldn't honestly keep his liberty
and reminded the warden OF his
oversight,
The petion for the negro's pardon
has been sent to the governor by
Judge Price Edwards of the Tala-
poosa circuit, by whom ne was
sentenced. The judge has every
confidence in the negro and believes
that his past record has shown
that he will, if freed, make a de-
sireable colored citizen.
He was sentenced for assault
with intent to murder.

Federal Liquor Licenses.

Atlanta, Ga, July 11-Georgia
solons are discussing the question
as to whether a Federal liquor
license can be used in blind tiger
trials as prima facie evidence of
guilt following the bill of Senator
Felker that this be made a law, and
there is considerable diversity of
opinion in the matter,
Il is understood that the idea was
tried in Tennessee some time ago
and that it worked with success
there. However, many senators do
not hesitate to say that they believe
that passage of the bill would result
in numerous clashes between state
and federal courts.

SAVING SOIL FERTILITY.

During the forty years from 1850
TO 1900 the United States lost more
fertility on Its old acreage than 1t
gained by the addition OF virgin
acres. America has been mining Its
soil rather than farming 1t.
These statements seem rather ex-
travagant but they are made on the
authority Of Henry Wallace Of Iowa.
whose word about agriculture ana
agricultural conditions is accepted
generally without question. 1t is
Mr.. Wallace who characterized the
American agrlculturalists Of the last
century az soil pirates rather than
soil farmers. Mr.. Wallace has been
a farmer himself for the last fifty
years and at the same time a care
full student OF farming. "Soil fer
tility Is a problem quite as important
to the man who consumes farm
products as to the man who pro-
duces them" says Mr.. Wallace.
"Neither the farmer nor the con-
sumer realizes the extent to which
to which our unrivaled soil fertility
has been wasted. Although untold
millions Of virgin acres needing
neither ak nor thing spade have been
added to our cultivated area year
by year for fifty years, 1t is only In
the last few years that the average
yield per acre has shown a tend
ency to increase; and that small IN
crease has been due to awakened
agricultural departments in state and
nation, the real study Of agriculture
in our colleges and experiment sta
lions.
"For more than forty years pre-
yious to the last decade we have
lost more fertility on the old acreage
than we gained by the addition OF
the virgin acres. We have, speaking
generally, been mining, not farm
ing, our soil fertility and sending
IT all over the world at the bare cost
of mining. On some of the best soils
naturally in the world we produce
less wheat per acre than any nation
ON the Old World save Russia and
India, where the soil has been farm
ed for thousands of years. Enough
has been done to show that we can
farm as we'll as mine fertility, create
as we'll as waste"

HOW GERMANs RUN AUTOS.

for himself from most any city by
passing a merely perfunctory exami-
nation.
But in Germany
These are the things one must
do In Germany before he can run
a car In public without getting ar
rested:
He must spend a week In the
"schoor' Of the factory that made
his machine, watching motors be-
ing taken apart and assembled and
learning to steer.
He must take to the police authori-
ties a sworn certificate from this
school, bearing witness to his pro-
ficiency, together with a birth GER
tificate, a photograph Of himself
and a certificate from a state doctor
saying that his sight and hearing
are normal and an application for q
permit.
He must drive car, carrying a
police examiner, through billy
country, turn 1t around in narrow
piece of road, pass a quiz as to the
mechanism Of the motor, and lastly
run the machine through narrow
city streets where tram cars are
running.
If he passes all these tests he

vote 100000 for the erection Of new

lime for the last half Of the present
term.
The high school was convened for
the fall term in the condemned build
ing with an attendance Of about 300,
the largest ever recorded here.
The condemned building is the old

Az we understand 1t the papers
are not so much haunting Judge
Rees for the votes he cast as they
are haunting the people Of the Fifth
district who got tremendously ex-
cited last summer because their then
representative cast his votes with
the Republicans and elected another
man who was to do something en-
tirely different whereas in point Of
fact the new man has probably NOT
cast a single vote differently from
the way the old man would have cast
It. In other words, the net result
of the upheaval in the Fifth seems
to have been an exchange of wei
trained, highly accomplished and in
fIuential legislator for a green hano
who has everything to learn before
he can give the district anything
other than the most routine service

Not only the orgies of the four

that preceded the homicide, but the
gruesome tale of the alleged attack
by a highwayman, the wild ride to
the owen home at 55 miles an hour,
with the body Of his wife in the bloody
machine, was told to the jury.

prosecution stood up to full length
and put on the blood stained coat that
he wore the night Of the murder and
tried to explain why blood had not

Beattie answered questions readily,
in an even voice and without emotion.
In no essential did his version OF
the affair differ from that which ne

Beattie disclaimed any connection
with the purchase Of the gun and
knowledge Of the transfer Of any gun
by Paul to him, declaring he never
saw the fatal shotgun.
The direct examination lasted only
two and half hours, while the cross
examination had proceeded three and
