baker Corporation, and number of his
millionaire associates in the $4,000, 600
concern who will attend, drawn partly
Georgia business friends and partly by

upon them has been generally favor

The late legislature went thoroughly
into the matter of revising the bum
glesome laws under which the militia
had been handled for many years. and
in many ways effectively improved
them.
As the laws now stand, the governor
is unhampered in his handling Of the
troops, when, in his judgment. it be-
comes necessary to call them out, and
his militay representatives on the scene
of action are vested with authority to
preserve the peace, without recourse to
red tape or cumbersome methods Of

circumstances attended the handling Of
the riotous situation in Augusta with

Although several new counties are to
be proposed in the next Georgia legfs-

Barrow county, with Winder as the

to win legislative approval.

RARE SILVER DOLLAR

which are words American Congress.
We are One"
No definite information as to where
the continental currency dollar was
made can now be obtained But II is
thought to have been produced IN
Birmingham, England, in which city
were made many Of the coins that
were circulated in this country dur
ing colonial days and the most Of
which are now highly valued by col.
lectors.
The design OF the dollar was evi.
IDENTIFY suggested by the devices Of
the first continental currency paper

Of these notes was representation Of
a sun as human face shining upon
a dial, with the word "Fugio." Just
above was q representation Of the
moon, also a face. (The latter. how
ever, found no place in the design Of
the, silver dollar) Underneath the
dial was the motto Mind Your Bust
ness" The reverse design of the note
showed almost the identical design
borne by the continental dollar and
seems to have been embodied In tact.
Several varities Of these continen.
tai dollars are now known. and not
only were there various designs show
ing trifiing differences. but they &C.
cur in different metals-silver. brass
and white metal. The rarest of the
series, the one owned by Mr.. Gran
berg, shows marked differences from
some of the others. Underneath the
dial and above the motto is inscribed
in small letters "E G Fecit." ''E G"
are supposed to have been the initials
Of the engraver OF the dies.
From what can be learned there are
only two specimens of the above dol
lar known in silver-the one owned
by Mr.. Granberg and another said to
be in the collection of an eastern his
torical society The variety is also
known in brass and white metal. The
specimens In the latter two metals
are also rare and held at a premium.
The one in brass is much rarer than
that in white metal.
The next rarest variety OF the con-

design to that mentioned above, but
