WHAT SMITH WILL ASK FOR
GIVES HIS IDEAS OF CHANGES
IN STATE GOVERNMENT.

Wants January Session of Ten Days
and a FOrty-Day Session Later.
Wants Power to Borrow More.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hoke
Smith today gave a statement to the
public concerning changes in pres
ent laws which he will bring to the
attention of the general assembly
when it meets this summer.
The statement which appears to
indicate that he has given up COM
pletely the idea of making the race
for the United States senate. and
that he will serve his term as gov
ernor, or at least year and a half
of it, since one of his proposals is
that the governor and state house
officers hereafter be inaugurated on
January l, and in the event this
proposal is made law he would give
up six months of his term.
He proposes further that the leg
islature shall meet in January for
period of ten days to inaugurate
the governor and other officials, to
organize itself and to refer all leg
islation introduced to proper COM
mittees. Then the legislature shall
adjourn until July, when it shall
meet for forty days, making the
same total of fifty days as at pres
ent. He further proposes that the
time for the state election shall be
changed so as to coincide with the
national election in November.
The State Gets "Hard-Up."
Mr.. Smiths other suggestions re-
late to the states finances. He pro-
poses that the governors borrowing
power shall be increased from $780,
600 to 100000, and that the taxes
of the railroads and other utility
corporations shall be made payable
September 1, giving them, if neces-
sary, a discount of 1 per cent In
this way he says the state will be

is MORE ORDINARY INTEREST.
From the Allan ia Constitution.

Of more than ordinary signifi-
canoe in the business world is the
transaction, recorded recently in the
Constitution, whereby the Cosmopol-
itan Life Insurance Company, a two
million-dollar old line legal reserve
institution of Atlanta, abscrbs the
Westinghouse Life Insurance Com
pany, a half-million-dOllar old line
reserve company, chartered during
1910, with headquarters in Dawson,
Ga.
1t is claimed as one Of the dis
tinctive features Of the merger that
it marks the first instance in life
insurance history in the south where
one old line legal reserve company
has had sufficient financial strength
to take over one of its competitors,
added allowance being made for the
formidable organization OF the
Washington-Lee company and its
long list of desirable stockholders.
The executive Offices are to be
maintained in Atlanta, but Dawson
gets district Offices and a large

Mrs. Brooks smilingly bowed and

Mrs. Brooks drew an old-fashioned
revolver from her muff.

The women grappled, Mrs. Brooks
finally freeing herself and forcing

The second ball struck Mrs. Bin
ford in the left shoulder, the third
one an inch higher and the fourth
entering the base of the neck, sew
ering the spinal vertebrae. Before
the woman fell to the floor Mrs.
Brooks fired again, and this time
the ball struck Mrs. Binford behind
the ear and came out through the
top of the head.
Shoppers witnessing the tragedy
were hysterical.

Making her way through the
crowd Mrs. Brooks went to the office
of her husband, two blocks distant.
As she handed the revolver to Mr..
Brooks she said:

The waist worn by the dead yo-

was badly burned before clerks re-
