Grace Must Die
Says Ills Doctors

Atlanta, Ga, August 15-Eu-
gene Grace must die; but the doc
tors have not informed him of his
fate.
The operation to remove the
bullet from Grace's spine was one
Of the most remarkable that was
ever performed in an Atlanta hos
pital, but it was in vain. The sur
geons could not get hold of the
bullet, and they established posi-
lively that the bullet is not press
ing on the spinal column. 1t
brushed against the column, as it
plowed through Grace's body, and
left a brulse which caused the to-
tai paralysis below Gaace's waist;
then it lodged in the bony struc-
ture of the ninth yertebra. If it
were removed, the paralysis would
not be relieved.
Maybe six months, possibly a
year, can Grace live, but no long
er, say the doctors. They are
waiting to break him the news.
They are afraid the shock, in his
present weakned condition, might
kill him.

Tallulah Falls Dis
pute Goes Into Courts

Atlanta, Aug. Is. Preliminary
steps in a suit by the state to pre-
vent the Harvesting of Tallulah
Falls, will be taken in very few
days. The resolution adopted by
the legislature directing the gov
ernor to bring suit to test the
stat e's title to certain lands IN
volved in the development has
gone to the governor and will be
among the first to be signed by
him. Thereupon he will direct
the Encouragement to file the
necessary papers.
In all probability the first step
will be an injunction suit by the
state to stop further work until
the courts have passed on the
titles. This injunction may be
brought in Fulton county, this
being the company's home office.
Following the injunction the
states claim to the titles will be
carried into the courts.
The Georgia Railway & Power
Co., which is Harvesting the
Falls, has already spent upwards
of $4,000, 600. During the agita-
ton, which resulted in the reso-
luton as adopted by the leglla-
ture, the company has not delay
ed its work a day. officials Of
the company say their titles are
so absolutely f1awless to every
foot of the disputed land that
they did not oppose the adoption
of the resolution directing suit to
be brought.

Appropriations Are
Just Running Wild

Atlanta, Aug. 13. If the Sem
ate follows the lead of the House
in the final windup of the legis-
lative session and passes appro-
priation bills which the House
has already put through, aggre-
eating $225, 600, there is deci-
ded probability that Gov. Browns
veto will get busy again, after
the session is over.
The Governor hasn't said any
thing, but he has been in con-
ference with a number of mem
bers of the Senate with view to
urging that body to go slow on
appropriation measure.
1t is said the passage of this
amount of appropriations at this
time would simply mean that the
school teachers of the state could
be paid nothing in the spring Of
1918, and would have to wait for
their entire salaries I'm il the
taxes came in along in December
and January following.
The school teachers of Georgia
have earned up to date approx
imately 81, 100000 Of the 1912
school appropriation out of which
they have been paid only $780,
1000, simply because there is no
more money in the treasury to
pay them with and won't be until
taxes are collected. The amount
paid the teachers early in the
year has been cor stantly gI owing
smaller every spring, until this
year it was possible to pay only
about 40 per cent. which was
paid in the spring.
The continual creeping up of
appropriations in excess Of rev.
enue has caused this amount for
the teachers to become less and
ess, and while they ultimately
get all of their money, they have
to wait for it for months.
Therefore if all the pending
appropriation bills should finally
go through with no money in the
treasury to meet them, it would
mean that there would be moth
ing left of the 1913 school fund
to pay the teachers in the spring.
The state would then be just
exactly one year behind with the
teachers and it wonld become a
question as to whether the legis-
lature will ultimately devise a
means Of meeting this situation
by increased taxation temporar-
lily as was proposed at this ses-
sion, or by closing up the schools
for one year in order to catch up.

MCICcI 10 Is LildC lie plOUSIiS
in the spring and collects interest
in the fall. We are delighted
to tell you that he has been in
position to aid greatly his fellow
farmers by furnishing them
with the means not only to culti-
vate their crops, but has aided
many in bis county in finally be
coming an owner Of his home.
Nor has he ever been the man to
numerically crowd farmer
who could not meet his obliga-
ton to him when due, but has
always been entirely willing to
indulge him from year to year
for reasonable, living interest.
We are glad to say earnestly that
we have great need of mary
more of Mr.. MERGERS kind in our,
town and county. He has meant
more to Terrell county than any
other dozen men in it, and we
are sure that if elected to the
position of Congressman no man
in the Third district will regret
his choice. He is always enter
prising, always constructive,
progressive and hesitates not at
any amount of effort or expense
to accomplish ends which mean
not only advancement of his own
interest, but that of his neigh
boris as well. He is eminently a
farmer-a model one. We take
pride in calling attention to the
fact that it was farmer Mercer
who originated the corn contests
in Georgia, a progressive step in
farming which has revolutionized
the corn production of our state.
He was brought up in as hum
bic fashion as any average coun-
try boy. and has accomplished
things in life by his own efforts.
He has had some misfortunes.
which, by the way, would not
have come to him had others
whom he had aided been more
dutiful in their obligations to
him. No man fails to have ups
and downs" We dare say his
opponents have had theirs. Mr..
Shaw would have you believe
that he came from the depths. "
We happen to know that he has
ever had around him the average
comforts of life and has no right
to claim more in this regard than
has our fellow citizen whose
cause we plead. We ask you
whether or not you would have
as our representative a man who
has made good, not only in a
political way but who has in the
fer more important sense, viz:
that of personal success and ac-
complishments at home for his
fellow countrymen.
We sincerely commend to you
our fellow townsman, then, as
most worthy of your franchise,
and bespeak for him great sue
cess should you see fit to elevate
him to the position to which he
aspires. j. G. Parks, j. G..

I'VE notice in recent issue OF

I'VE have reached beyond middle
life at this time. He tells you
that he is said to be a millionaire.
We wonder who told him, and,

ready to enter into the celestial
regions before he could do things

He says, in substance, that Mr..
Mercer has done things in life
which have meant personal sue

Ice in Washington this week informa-

it may be a matter Of the

may give such official recognition OF

China becoming a Christian land.
The biggest thing that has hap

cause sooner or later a republic must
