Wage War on Harris
Oil Inspection Bill

Atlanta, July 22.-Ofticials OF
the state department of agrlcul-
ture are preparing to wage tight
on the Harris bill reducing the
fees of oil inspectors, as result
of the numerous accidents that
have occurred in Atlanta traceable
to imperfect kerosene oil.
DIR. w. G. Bryant, chief oil in
spector, whose job is abolished uY
the Harris measure, will urge the
passage of the Bush bill now be-
fore the state senate. The Bush
bill provides for the appointment
of twelve oil inspectors at a salary
of 500 a month who shall have
sole charge of the inspection OF
oil in the state.
1t also puts gasolene in the same
class as Illuminating oils for in
spection purposes and provides
the specific gravity test for gaso-
lene. Certain phases of what is
known in some states as the "Red
Can Law" requiring retailers to
handle gasolene in red cans, has
been included in the Bush bill.

The wide-tired wagon is bound
to come. A letter from Mr.. P.
B. Thornhill, President of the
Thornhill Wagon Co., says:
"Wide tires on farm wagons
are worth many times their extra,
cost, but you have no idea how
hard it is to persuade man who
has been using narrow tire to
change for wide, for it is an IN
questionable fact that one man in
a neighborhood using a wide
tired wagon where the roads are
full of ruts is at a disadvantage.
For the sake of the farmers and
the users of the country roads we
will welcome the day when every
farm wagon will have tires not
less than three inches wide.o-

Too Much Attention
To Local Bills

Atlanta, July Ex-senator W. j.
Harris, of Cedartown, is confident
that the Georgia legislature devotes
too much time to local legislation,
giving general bills scant considera-
ton. To obviate this he wants an
investigation of the matter, and has
sent a resolution to the senate ask
ing such an investigation. His res
olution is as follows:
Whereas, The time of the gener-
al assembly of Georgia is now devo-
ted largely to the consideration OF
legal legislation, thereby resulting
to great expense to the state in the
consideration of purely local matters
to the detriment of important gen
eral legislation, which should be
carefully and thoroughly considered.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
senate, the house concurring, That a
joint committee consisting of three
members of the senate, to be APP
pointed by the president of the sen.
ate, and five members of the house
of representatives. to be appointed
by the speaker of the house, be ap.
pointed for the purpose of investi'
eating the methods pursued by other
states in regard to local legislation.
with authority to investigate the
matter of granting municipal char
tiers and amending same, the estab-
lishment of city and county courts,
and regulating all matters of strictly
local matters in cities, towns and
counties, with a view of ascertaining
and reporting some method by
which local matters of this nature
can be handled without burdening
the general assembly with the neces-
sity of considering and passing upon
all matters of such character.
The purpose of this investigation
is to save the great expense now in
Cured by the state by the general
assembly passing upon these mat
tiers of purely local nature, and also
devising some method by which the
wishes of the people interested in
such matters can be ascertained and
followed without resorting to the
legislature.
Resolved, further, That the COM
mittee appointed under the resolu-
ton is hereby authorized to
sit in vacation at the capitol for a
period of not exceeding five days,
and the members thereof shall re-
ceive their per diem and actual trav-
cling expenses.
Resolved, further, That this joint
committee shall report their findings
and recommending touching the
above mentioned matters to the
next general assembly converting in
the year 1913"

The country school teacher and
preacher are the most important and
influential men in any community.
If they are of force have ability to
do their work-they can command
fair salaries, and if the country OF
rural communities will not pay them
living wages, they go to the cities
where their efficient services will
earn them a decent living. Two
reasons why so many people leave
the country and 60 to the cities are
because they find better schools and
better preachers in the cities. The
explanation is. the city teachers and

Swimming is Fine
ReCreatio n

The weather is hot and every
body's talking about it but that
is all that can be done-we can't
invent any means of keeping
cool in the summer time. How
ever, we can get cool for a brief
period at the time and one of the
best ways af doing that is to take
a plunge in the big swimming
pool at the Blue and Gray Park.
There's nothing more refresh
ing and more invigorating these
hot days than to dive into pool
of cool water, and besides, swim
ming is good exercise and fine
recreation.
Why not patronize the Blue
