ASK LEGISLATURE TO
ADOPT CASH BOOK

FORSYTH, Ca, Aug. al. G. Burt,
tax collector of Monroe county, has just
completed the work of preparing for the
use Of the tax collectors of the state a
cash book, which, If adopted by the state
of Georgia, will be a very handy thing
for the collectors. Ever since his inau-
guration in office, Mr. Burt has given
very close study of the needs and re-
quirements of the tax collectors office,
and his cash book will afford for the
collectors the easiest methods of meeting
these needs and requirements, embody-
ing Burt's original ideas.
The book has been highly Endorsed by
not only all the business men and bank
ers of orsyth. but has been approved
by Comptroller General Wright and w.
H. Harrison and Hon. A. p. Stewart, tax
collector of Fulton county, all of whom
have pronounced the book as the finest
one Of the kind ever prepared. A resolu-
ton, prepared by Mayor o. H B. Blood
worth, of this city has already been
presented to the general assembly, urg-
ing that body to adopt the cash book
for use in all the counties of the state.
The resolution, which was introduced
by Representatives Jackson and Wor-
sham Of Monroe and Representative e.
Nj. Smith of Henry county, also provides
for an appropriation of $500 for Mr.. Burt
for the expense incurred by him in the
preparation of the book

The marble workers seek an increase of

sible. Among these is one to the effect
that the superintendent on work must
be members of the union, and another is
that in cases where charges are made
against employees of violating an agree
ment the employers may be the judges in
the first case, but in all subsequent
cases the union is TO be the judge.
About $500 men will go out when the
strike order takes effect and 5000 work.

involuntary idleness until the difficulty
is settled.

WIRELESS IS ADDED TO
EQUIPMENT OF CAVALRY
Scouting Value of Cavalry Is
Greatly Increased Messages
Can Be Sent Is Miles
CBy Associ lted Press.)

WASHINGTON. Aug. S-The military
value of the cavalry branch has been
enormously increased by the adoption of
wireless telegraphy, for the frst time in
this country thoroughly tried out in the
Texas maneuvers.
The signal corps has devised an ex-
tremely light and portable wireless ap-
paratus, easily carried on the back of a
horse and capable of being put into OPP
Grafton from any point in the field within
a few minutes. It was found that the
messages could be reliably received when
the attachment was anywhere within rs
miles of a receiving station-a fact which
added greatly to the value of the caval-
ry in its scouting capacity. A light, col
lapsible steel mast, not much larger than
fishing rod. serves to support the
antennae necessary to establish COM
munication.
