Up-to.date Tailor Shop.

Willis L. Smith. the progressive
and enterprising merchant-tailor,
has installed a steam pressing ma
chine of the latest and most i'm
proved type, which gives a great
advantage over the old method of
pressing. The machine does not
leave a gloss, but restores the origi-
nal nap to the goods and removes
offensive odors, besides there is no
danger of scorcbing of the steam
presser. The wearing qualities of
the goods are greatly increased with
the view process. In connection
with the steam presser, Mr.. Smith
has the Oriental Washee System and
a Du Lux dry cleaning machine,
and is prepared to do as good work
as any city house of the kind. These
improvements ought to be appreci-
ated by the public.

The Governor Favored The
Laws, But Could not En-

Impossible Bills.

Atlanta, August, Ex-Governor
Smith did not veto the Western 4
Atlantic Lease commission bill and
the bill creating a state auditor be-
cause he was opposed to either idea.
The governor is in favor of a per
manent western and Atlantic lease
commission, and is infavOr of hav-
ing a state auditor, He killed the
bills because he believed they fail
to provide properly for what he be-
lieved the state needed. He We
tOed the Western & Atlantic bill
because he believed the appoint
ment on the commission of MEM
bers of the legislature was uncon-
stitutional, because he believed the
size, eight members, way too large,
and because he believed in any
case that it was wrong to limit the
membership to members of the legis-
lature. He vetoed the bill because
he did not believe it's provisions
could possibly be carried out with
the inadequate machinery provid-
ed in the measure, and feared that
if it became a law it would only
make a tangle. He came to this
conclusion after consulting the
comptroller generals office.
