This time of the year, out in the

beginning to show. Just as the gold,

just so the yellow jasmine depicts the

natures wonderful beauties are to be

1t is a wonderful thing, this grass
that tiourishes in every section of our

Light INFANTRY WILL
ENCAMP ON ST. SIMONS
Permission Granted to Sec
ODd Regiment

Official orders have been issued
granting to the Second regiment per-
mission to have its annual encamp-
ment at st. Simon's in July, and the
Americas Light Infantry is assured an
outing upon the seashore. With the
positive assurance that the regiment
is going to St. Simon's, members of
the Americas company are already
anticipating the trip as unit of that
command.
The dates arranged for the encamp-
ment are July 18th to 21st, and comes
at period of usual summer dullness
in business circles which will afford
all the members of the company the
desired opportunity to get away. Lieut..
j. B. McLendon, of the Light Infan-
try, said yesterday that the summer
encampment was already being dis
cussed among the Americas troops and
that large number would attend. The
minimum number required from eacn
command is forty, but the Light In
fantry will probably carry a larger
number.
The local military is entitled to the
recreation that will be afforded. The
work performed by the officers and
men is not only onerous and trying al
times, but is without compensation
and these annual outings go a long
way towards encouraging enlistments
and in maintaining the service.

ROME ALSO IS AFTER

Americas viii Likely Have
Opposition

Americas Lodge, No 202, Woodmen

opposed, at Thomasville next week
with the 1914 convention of that or
der as from Rome comes the state
n ent that the delegation representing
the Rom lodge at the brownsville
state meeting will put up strong fight
to secure the 1914 meeting for the
Hill City.
Americas Woodmen have all along,
expressed a strong desire to entertain
the state w. o. w convention next
year, and the belief was expressed that
the prize would be secured without a
struggle. The desire of the Romans
to the same end, however insures n
friendly contest. The state conven-
ton of the w. o. w. has never assem-
bled in Americas, and it has been
tacitly understood, unofficially, that
this honor would be awarded to Ameri-
Gus next Americas Woodmen are go
ing in force to Thomasville, where

ing and pressing their invitation.

Difficult to Tell.

1t is often difficult to tell whether an
appropriation should be paid out Of
this years money or last years money.
This fact has made it possible to pre-.
sent to the public two views of Geor-
gias financial situation, with the result
that if there is man in the state who
can tell exactly just where Georgia
stands in the matter of finances, he
would be entitled to rank as the eighth
wonder of the world.
Gov.-Elect Slaton has made it clear.
however, that he does not intend to
permit any more piling up of deficit in
Georgia's financial scheme while he is
at the helm. Not only does he intend
to see that the state keeps expenses
on the inside of the income, but it i,

in such way that the legislature will

SLATON IN EARNEST
ABOUT EXPENDITURES
Governor Elect Means to Hold
Legislature down

to veto appropriation bills in the event
the legislature expended more than
the states income, no such veto has
been recorded in recent vars.
On the other hand practically every
legislature for the past ten or twelve
years has appropriated more money
than the state received, ard if the
states treasury balance were taken,
and along with it a statement of IL
abilities and assets, it would be found
that Georgia is. as matter of fac,
something like half a million dollars
behind.
The state gets around this condition
by a sort of kiting process, paying
large proportion of last years debts
with this years money, but the point
has about been reached now where
an accounting will have to be made
Six or eight years ago it was posi-
Bile to pay 80 or 40 per cent. of the
school teachers salaries for the pre-
ceding years in the spring of the year
following when the tax money came in
Now it is possible to pay only bare
10 per cent, and in year or two un
less something is done to relieve the
situation, the teachers will get scarce
ly any of their money for six months
to year after it has been earned.
Slat0n i'm Earnest.
Again there comes a governor who
says he is going to see to it that the
legislative appropriations are kept
within the states income and there are
many who believe confidently that
Gov.elect John M. Slaton means what
he says.
Mr. Slaton has had an experience Of
some seventeen years in dealing with
Georgia's finances in the legislature,
and there is probably not man in the
state who is more familiar with them
than he. 1t will be impossible for the
legislature to hide anything from him
when it comes to the matter of appro-
priations. Mr. Slaten said in a recent
statement regarding Georgias finances
that he would not hesitate to veto the
entire general appropriation bill at the
coming session if he finds this neces-
sary in order to bring the general as
sembly to realization of the fact thai
the state will not be permitted to in
dulge in any wild system of finances
under his administration.
Mr. Slaton is we'll aware of the ten
dency of the legislature to pad appro-
priation bills to the limit and then on
top of that to pass some special appro-
priation bills, as if they didn't count.
The result of the careless Legislative
system is that the states Frances have
gotten into tangfe, which to the lay
man seems almost inextricable.
