BACON'S VIGOROUS PROTEST
Senator Believes There Is Too Much
Delay in Action Upon His Rec
Ommendation of j. S. Davis.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Bacon went to the white house this
morning and protested vigorously to
Secretary Tumulty because of the
delay in nominating Joseph S. Davis
of Albany for United States marshal
for the Southern district of Georgia.
The senator recommended Davis
some ten days or two
weeks ago, but it has never been
sent to the senate
Senator Bacon is understood to
have been very much disappointed
at the failure of Davis nomination to
come in on yesterday along with that
of Howard Thompson, Senator
Smiths selection for marshal in
North Georgia. The senator feels
that he is being placed in false po-
sition before the people of Georgia,
and insists that his recommendation
of Davis be accepted Immediately.
1t is believed here that Davis
nomination will be made eventually
by the president as result of Mr..
Bacon's endorsement.

COOK SUES CITY FOR 81, 900
ALLEGES THAT HE WAS INJURED
BY FALLING IN HOLE.
Charges the City With Negligence in
Permitting Dangerous Place 10
Remain in Sidewalk.

Through his attorneys, w. H. Gurr
and R. R. Marlin, a damage suit for
$1,000 has been filed in the superior
court by j. ~ Cook.
The, petition alleges that as the
plaintiff was going to his home on
the night of March 22nd he fell in
hole about two feet deep in the
sidewalk on Seventh avenue, one of
the most prominent streets of the
city; that the hole had been in the
sidewalk about two weeks, and was
about two feet north and south and
one and half feet east and west
and two feet deep.
1t is charged that the City of Daw-
son knew of the existence Of the hole
in the sidewalk, and was negligent in
permitting it to remain there.
Mr.. Cook sets forth the fact that
he is a one-legged man, that his right
crutch went into the hole and threw
him violently to the ground with
such violence as to bruise and injure
him, the injury to his head being OF
a serious nature and resulting in al
most total loss of hearing in his left
ear He further alleges that prior
to such iniury~he was regularly en-
ployed and earned on an average OF
Sc week as fish dealer and at the
carpenters trade and other odd jobs
but since the accident has not been
able to perform manual labor and
earn money at his regular occupa.
lions.
The city will resist the suit, and
it will probably find its way to the
highest state court.

CITY TAX VALUES S2,O62, O43
ASSESSORS COMPLETE WORK
AND REPORT TO COUNCIL.
Bank and Real Estate Assessments
Increased, But Loss in Money,
Notes and Accounts Heavy.

Bank and Real Estate ASSESSMENTS
Increased, But Loss in Money,
Notes and Accounts Heavy.
The city tax assessors have COM
pleted their work, and their report
was made to the council at special
meeting of that body Thursday night.
The aggregate value Of property
assessed is $4,000, 043, an increase of
s9l,O49 over last year, when it was
$1,97O994.
The property owned by whites is
$1,92S,004, against $1,849,257 in
1912, an increase of $78,791. The
total valuation placed on negro prop
erty is $133,995, an increase over
last years assessment of $12,25S.
The assessors say it was their en-
deayor to enlist all property at about
rs ger cent of its value, and there
was a general increase in all assess
nents.
Notwithstanding however, that
real estate assessments were increas-
ed 25 per cent and the bank assess
ments given a considerable upward
lift-the Dawson National being rails
ed from 100000 to $15S.000, the
City National from $94,700 to $125,-
800 and the Bank of Dawson from
$65,400 to $50, 000-the compare
lively small increase of S91, 900 is
shown, only a few dollars more than
the increase in the bank assessments
alone. This is accounted for by a
loss in money, notes and accounts,
the assessments under this head
showing big decrease.
Attention was called at the meet
ing of the council Thursday night
that with the large increase in real
estate assessments and the falling off
in the other values the man with a
home will pay more than his just
share of taxes.
The assessors state that they made
every endeavor to secure a fair re-
turn of money, notes and accounts,
but the tax payers would give them
no information on which to act, and
their efforts were therefore unavail-
ing.

Among Disciples Before Moving

The Georgia Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION ran afoul of the Georgia
senate Thursday when Senator w.
w. Stark caused to be laid on the ia
BILE a request that the suffragists
have the use of the senate chamber
two days during their state conven-
ton.
When asked by Mrs. Mary L. Nc
Tendon, the president, and Mrs
Amelia R. Woodall, the treasurer of
the suffragists, why he opposed them
Senator Stark replied: Because
Jesus Christ did not call a woman for
one of His twelve disciples, and be-
cause He was not suffragist."
The suffrage question was injected
into the senate proceedings by Sena-
tor G. M. HUE of the Thirty-ffth,
who introduced by request a resolu-
ton that the use of the senate cham

Deputy Clerk Hansell had barely
finished reading the resolution when
Senator Stark arose and asked;
"Mr. President, do these ladies
and gentlemen intend to enlighten
the senate on the question of wo-
mans suffrage?"
"In so far as 1 understand it that
is the purpose of the meeting" Pres
ident J. Randolph Anderson replied.
"Then I move to lay that resolu-
ton on the table," said Mr.. Stark.
Upon a rising vote the resolution
was tabled, 20 to Z.
Mrs. McLendon said the state wo-
mans suffrage convention desired
the use of the senate chamber be-
cause of it's excellent acoustics, and
that it heretofore had been freely ex-
tended them. She said she believed
they would get it this time, too, be-
cause Senator J. N. Watts of the
Eleventh had promised to call for
reconsideration of the resolution on
Monday.
