WILL ABOLISH EXTRA FEES
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Atlanta, Sept. Ex-Governor Roke
Smith has decided, with the full con-
.currence Of the incumbent. TO abolish
the practice Of having the state Of
Georgia pay special fees to the at
.torney general for certain special ser
vices. Governor Smith believes that
the payment Of such fees is contrary
to the spirit of the law, and Attorney
General Thomas B. Fielder agrees
with him.
In the past Georgia's attorney gen
erals, in addition to their salary, have
been receiving special fees for work
in the United States Court and other
special work for the state. Governor
Smith believes that the attorney gen
eral should receive nothing from the
state but his salary, and. Of course,
his expenses incurred while on mis-
sions in the name of the state.
Attorney General Hewlett Hall, At
torney General Hart and other gen
tlemen holding that Office have re-
ceiyed fees in the past, and Smith 5
decision is intended in no way TO re-
fleet upon them; the paying of those
fees was always duly authorized, and
/ the fees were always reasonable-it
fees were to be paid. Governor SmTrS's
action is not intended as a criticism
it is stated, of officials who have re-
ceived special fees in the past, but
rather a decision that the special fet
system, is bad and not in the spirit
of the law.

BURDENS LIFTED.

Here's Americas testimony.
The story of a permanent cure.
Mrs. c. w. Hill, 209 Mayo street,
Americas, Ga, says: Il gladly con-
firm all l said regarding Doan's Kid
ney Pills when I publicly recommend
ed them in March, 1908. There is
nothing equal to this remedy for kid
ney complaint. Its use rid me of that
trouble and during the past three
years l have had no return attacks"
Statement given May 8, 1919
On March %, 1908, when Mrs. Hill
was interviewed she said: Il was
troubled a great deal by a dull ache
through the small OF my back and my
kidneys were also a source OF an
noyance. When I was advised to try
Doans Kidney Pills, I got a box at
Dodson's Pharmacy, and it did not take
them long to correct my trouble"

COY. HARMON CHAMPION
OF RIGHTS OF STATES

Columbus, Ohio. Sept 2S.-'We must
make the state government more
broadly useful. Its powers are ample
and undoubted to grapple with many
things which have been developed oy
new conditions and give general con-
Germ. For instance, it has absolute
control of all corporations of its own
creation and of the terms on which
corporations of other states may do
business here. Why, then, stand by
and let the general government as
sumo to regulate state corporations
because they engage in interstate
commerce? Citizens engage in that
commerce, too, and congress has the
same right concerning their personal
affairs as with those of state corpor-
atoms, no more and no less. If con-
gress gets general jurisdiction over
us if We engage in commerce outside
the state, We may as well turn over
the capital to a federal commission
and go home"
Governor Judson Harmon, who was
commissioned by the house of gcgt
errors to appear before the United
States Supreme Court to appeal for
the overthrow of the dictum that state
legislatures may not regulate inter
state railroad rates, may the above
plea for the sovereignty of the states
in his first inaugural address, deliver
ed in Columbus in January, 1909. Al
though the subject of states rights
was not of so much public concern
then as now, the governor sighted a
tendency on the part of the federal
authorities to usurp the powers of the
states and he sounded an alarm. IT
was Governor Harmon who made S.ie
suggestion that brought up a discus
sion of the whole question of federal
court aggression and so led to the
naming OF the committee. The ac-
ton of the conference in naming Gov
ernor Harmon chairman of the COM
mittee to present the states side Of
the question was wholly unexpected
by the Ohio executive.

than the EurohSan chicken.
The greatest Recommendation for
the Plymouth Rdck is the excellent
growth made by Nhe young chickens.
In this quality they have no superior.
The Plymouth Rock pullets are good
layers, but as yearling hens are prone
to turn the feed into fat rather than
eggs.
One objection to the barred variety
Is the difficulty in keeping the breed
true to the standard type. The pure
breds are required to have even and
distinct bars of the same shade in
male and female. These are difficult
points to maintain and resort Is often
made to double matings or the keep
Ing OF two breeding pens. one to pro-
duce cockerels and the other pullets.
White and buff Plymouth Rocks are
later products than the barred variety
Much Of what has been said will apply
to these also. The white variety is
free from the color objection Of the
barred type, but the objection to the
fattening tendency applies to hens OF
this variety perhaps more forcibly
than to the barred. Buzz Plymouth
Rocks will average smaller than the
other varieties Of the breed. Although
a solid color bird, they. like all bun
breeds except the buff cochin. will be

MODERN SCHOOL OF MARINERS.

The old saying that there IL no loss

change which has been wrought In

the natives heavily predominating

for this year will be even better, as
the movement OF Americans to the
sea has been steadily increasing for
several years. In many ways the ma
riners of the new school are better
than the old shellbacks that heaved

Of steam and electrical machinery re-
quire a different kind of skill and
more intelligence. The constant ad-

to keep mentally fresh and alert.
They know more and are more pro-
gressive than the old-time sailor and
IN their habits they are cleaner.
