SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEv1N.

pha tically on the. mind of the gentleman
from Chatham. nobody knows, but it is,
nevertheless.
Every once in a while Lawrence finds
corner that needs repainting. some
brick work that needs pointing, up, OF
something whenever he does, he is
as happy as ten year old kid going tc
his first circus
Recently he browbeat the house into
providing a new floor for the library, and
yesterday he introduced a resolution
looking to the removal from the basement
of lot of old books and things that have
Uttered up the place just about as long
as he proposes to stand for!
BY and by, he hopes to get new dome
to replace the old tin thing that now
adorns the capitol which is a black as
the ace OF spades, anyway.
This, however, is Mr.. Lawrences final
pipe dream!
The local flower markets are said to
be Interestingly shy of flowers. Per
haps some citizens have been antici
pating the death of the TippinS bill.
Mr. Jones, of Meriwether, is tired hav-
ing folks kick the states financial status
around
In delivering an grafton before the
house Wednesday, advocating the $4,000
appropriation to the state normal school
in Athens, the gentleman from Meri-
wether took a fall out of the calamity
howlers, as he called them. and said the
statement or the intimation that the state
of Georgia is broke" or anywhere near
the verge of bankruptcy is false"
Georgia is not spending more than her
income" said Mr.. Jones. She has not
spent more than her income for several
years. The reports of the, treasurer
show that | am right, and the comp
troller generals reports show that the
other official is right"
Every time an appropriation that a
few big takers in the house oppose gets
up, we hear a great howl that the state
is bankrupt and that she is living beyond
her meansn'
The statement is false, and l am sick
and tired having this state published
abroad as a pauper and a bankrupt, to
her financial disadvantage in the great
money centers, when there is no truth in
the statement. The truth is, number
of members of this house have political
ambitions to serve that they are willing
to serve by misrepresentation They are
willing to advertise Georgia as bankrupt,
if 1t will push their little booms along
The state is solvent-the margin of
solvency is wide. at least ample. Why
seek to make it appear otherwise"
Mr.. Jones served recently as chairman
of the appropriations committee of the
house, and is entirely familiar with the
states financial affairs.
His vigorous challenge to those who
pictured Georgia as about bankrupt ere
ated something of a sensation in the
house Monday.
