Atlanta, December S.-(Special.) )-The National Guard of Georgia will no doubt accept it as special tribute that Gen William G. Obear adiutant general oi this state, was elected this week in Nor folk secretary of the new organizatio composed of the adjutants general of the various states. This organization is 10 be an auxiliary to the National Guard asso- citation of the United States, and there is little question that it will be the work ing organization
 As a matter of fact it is said that it is the adjutants general who are doing most of the active work of the National Guard association now. The association has kept committee in Washington during the sessions of Congress for the purpose of looking after legislation; but the active and effective work at home is being done by the adiutants general.
 General Obear, for example, has had charge of the Georgia campaign looking to the enactment of the militia pay bill under which the members of the National Guard expect to get some small compen- sation from the national treasury

ITALIAN FINANCES
 IN GOOD CONDITION
Treasury Not Seriously Af- fected by War Ex-
 penditures

Rome, Italy. December s.-Italian A. nances are in excellent condition not withstanding the heavy expenses incurred during the war in Trlpol, according to the minister of finances, who in the chamber of deputies, made a statement accounting for the treasury. He declared the revenue of the government was in creasing constantly and alluded to the high level of Italian credit.
 Signor Tedesco said that the expenses of the war. altogether 7470o0,000 lire Sl4s, 4O0,000), had not weakened the budget, which had an estimated surplus of 101- 0O0,O09 lire for 19l1-12, 53,0O0O0O lire for 1912-1s and 63,0o0,000 in 1913-1i.
 This was the financial position, not withstanding an increase in expenses of all branches of the administration, espe- cally the army and navy, necessitated by the war in Trpoli and taking into ac- count also an appropriation of 255, GOO lire for the construction of two dread- naughts and several torperdo boats.

London, December S.-(Special )-After presiding, in spirit, for nearly 200 years over the deliberations of the judicial com mittee of the privy council, King George I has just been fired out of the historic chamber on Downing street, where the committee holds it's deliberations. The man who has done the firing is Lord Hal dane, the new lord chancellor of this realm, and not only has he elected King George, or his spirit. from the greatest court in the world as the committee room has been called-but he himself has taken the place thus vacated
 Lord Hadane is anything but ghost like, being, in fact, one of the chubbiest lord chancelors this country ever has had. He is a canny Scot, like many of the leading members of the Asquith min istry, and was secretary of state for war before mounting the woolsack as lord chancellor. He is the soul of energy and no worshipper of tradition and if there are any other ghosts, royal or otherwise, lordfng it over any department of state with which he is connected they, too, probably will have to bunk
 King George l, you may remember,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-09

came from Hanover to take charge of the destlnes of this realm, and proved, according to Lady Montagu, hon est boekhead," who knew no English and never could learn any. For whilo, after his accession in TAI, he attended the sessions of the judicial committee of his privy council, but as he understood nothing of what was going on, he soon gave 1t up since when an empty chair upholstered in red leather, has served to remind the judicial committee of his presence in the past.
 That committee, of course, constitutes the empires great court of appeal, and the noble lords who form it have the final settlement of legal squabbles from the four corners of the earth. The Lord Chancellor is it's head. and Lord Haldane, coming to the committee fresh from military maneuvers, at once set about rearranging the furniture of the council chamber. Now a horseshoe table has been substituted for the long one at which their lordships have sat for years innumerable, and painful to relate. the sacred red empty chair also has disap- peared.
 Instead of the ghost Of sovereignty the substantial person of the Lord Chan cellor presides over the labors of the judicial committee.

CONSUMER CANNOT
 RECOVER DAMAGES

Washington, December S.No matter how much loss a person suffers because a letter carrier delays delivery of mail, a policeman fails to walk his beat, a fire man neglects an alarm or water com pany omits to install fire plugs, the suf- ferer cannot recover damages.
 Such is the statement of Justice Lamar of the supreme court, in an official opin- ion filed Saturday among the records of the court
 This utterance was made at arriving at the conclusion that an individual inhab- itant of city cannot sue a water com rany for failure to install plugs and mains fl had contracted with a city to install.
 The case arose in Spartanburg, $. C, The opinion is contrary to the law in Kentucky North Carolina and Florida but upholds decisions in numerous other states.

WOULD PROHIBIT
 SALE OF PISTOLS Floyd County, Ga, Seeks Method Whereby Crime
 Might Be Reduced

Atlanta, December S-(Special)-The
 legislature for one reason or another has
 always baked at the enactment of law
 prohibiting materially restricting the sale of pistols and other dangerous
 weapons.
 The Floyd county grand jury has deter
 mined to push the matter locally, and
 has requested the three representatives from that county to secure the passage of a special act next summer, prohibiting absolutely the sale of pistols in that county.
 The grand jury in that county found that crimes of violence were on the in- crease there, and that most of them were due to the ready pistol; in fact, it was
 noted that pistol toters' go about in the county with impunity and in no fear of the authorities.
 What is true of Floyd is true of many other counties in Georgia. especially those with the larger cities. But every time the subject of prohibitory legislation against pistols has been broached, the | legislature has sidestepped it, Agitation seems to have had little effect. | Now that the counties are taking hold

A Parody

Prince Albert of Schleswig- -Holstein had a rather exciting few minutes the other day when playing on the Stoke Poges golf links with James Sherlock, the rro- fessional golfer. Some sportsmen were shooting in a neghbouring wood and ac- cidentally "peppered" his Royal High ness.
 It was at Stoke Poges. it will be re- membered, that Gray wrote his "Elegy," and somebody has amusingly parodied the .well-known. poem. "The curfew tolls the knell of parting
 day,
 The lowing herds winds slowly OCT rhe
 lea; And merry sportsmen, on their home-
 ward way,
