The Governor Is Firm.

Governor Slaton is adamantine in
his stand on two fundamentals-tax
revision and additional methods of
increasing the states revenues. His
implied threat of an extra session is
not an idle one by any manner of
means. He does not want it any
more than any one else, but unless
these essential reforms are enacted
this session it is absolutely assured
that there will be an extra session.
The lawmakers and the people of
the state may as well know this now
as a stern fact.
AS matter of fact, Governor Sla-
ton has not voiced any threat of any
kind, but his position has been made
clear, both in his inaugural address
and in his conferences with leaders
on both sides of the general assem-
bly,. 1t is believed that the inherit
ance tax, welded out of measures
drawn by Mr.. Cole of Barlow, Mr..
Swift of Muscogee, and Mr.. Slater of
Bryan, will, if passed, bring in con-
siderable revenue. 1t has the ap-
proval of Governor Slaton, and is
said by experts to be most excellent
measure.
The ways and means committee is
working out other revenue bearing
measures, which will be reported to
the house tomorrow, in all proba-
bility.
As a sheer statement of fact, Meth
er branch of the general assembly
has done anything worth while yet.
There seems to be quite a deal of
futile and non-essential motion on
both sides 1t may result largely
from the fact that the house particu-
larly is made up very largely of new
men, inexperienced in legislation
Aggressive and forceful leadership

President Anderson and Speaker
Burwell, both experienced men, are

they have their handicaps in hand
ling bodies without aggressive floor
leadership. Two or three men fitted
for leadership in the house are more
or less held aloof by the unexpressed
but nonetheless apparent hostility to
them from the powers that rule and
sway.
The assembly also confronts an
other grave proposition-the man
date of the governor to have in hands
the general appropriation bill at
least ten days prior to adjournment,
which would be about August 8th,
to complete the measure for that
purpose.

MURDERER Is LOCATED.
Love Randall, Who Killed Harry
StratfOrd in Stewart County.

Stratford in Stewart County.
The Whereabouts of Love Randall
is said to be known, and a still hunt

state, where social caste prevails on
equality with his white neighbors,
and if all the rewards will be re-
newed that were offered when he
murdered Harry Stratford on the riv-
err in 1910 it will not be long before
he will be in steel cell in the Stew

Let everybody interested in the
heinous crime help to capture him
and see that he receives just pun

Fair Dixie took a leaf from the
Book of the Arctic Records this morn
Ing, and that part of Dixie lying in

ressed by a snowstorm that, for
sheer and chilly earliness, compares
favorably with any similar event lin

1t was a regular snow storm. It
began at Gas o'clock and continued
about fifteen minutes. From a mere
furry, swirling and eddying on the
gusts OF a sharp wind, the downfall
grew in thickness and size of flakes
until tracks were beginning to appear
on the pavements. And the biting
power grew with the size.

the lingering glow OF summer, and

on parade in the early morning light,
with their accustomed complement OF
red noses and foggy spectacles.

1t wasn't SO cold, at that-just 81

chill struck home, and many an At
