That the ownership of land

painfully conscious of improve

lions which he desires to
make to bis stock. For every

the room he jumped to his feet, ex-

The girl was wearing leather slip

she went to the pencil factory, as the
negro had said.
The negro's Identification of the

statement. though, no further support
to the prosecutions case against
Frank is shown by II.
Solicitor Dorsey returned to At
lanta Sunday afternoon from a weeks
vacation in New York. He called a
conference with his assistants, E. A.

he announced that he would be ready
for trial on June 80 and that unless
the defense or the trial Judge moved
to have the trial postponed he would
commence at once summonlng wit

Solicitor Dorsey would not discuss
the return to Atlanta of Mrs. Nina
Formby and her announcement that
she would go on the stand against
Frank. He minated, however, that
he entertained the same opinion as
had already been expressed by his as
sistant, Mr.. Hooper, that when the
woman left Atlanta she dropped from
the case entirely.

phatically that he had been employed

the end had come Monday morning
she was the victim of another, and
the family practically gave up hope.
w. c. Tribble, father of the girl
said Monday he had arranged to have
the crayon which his daughter had
eaten analysed. 1t Is hardly expect
ed that the analysis will be complet-
ed in time to be of any benefit to the
physicians in prescribing a treatment
Mary was given the crayons a few
days before school ended a week ago
last Friday. On the last day of school
she came home and fell into the arms
of her mother crying that her head
hurt. A few minutes later part OF
her body was paralyzed and she was
seized frequently with agonizing con-
vulsions. She has been in this condi-
ton ever since, the only change being
that she gradually has been growing
weaker.

Tax reform is the one big topic Of

1t seems agreed on all sides that the
state must nave more revenue or let
its various institutions lag woefully.
There is an ever-increasing demand
for more money in all directions, and
the State has been running ahead OF
its income for several years. The tax
rate can not be raised above mills,
and mills on present assessments
will not produce the revenue needed.
Various special measures for in
creasing the revenue have been pro-
posed, such as an inheritance tax, =
graduated automobile tax, and 20

to get all varieties of property up to
where each may bear its righteous

Car Nicholas proposal to arbitrate

aggressive measures.
