Hail the adding baby!

Seven months old and never happy
unless he is picking at a violin.
Feed him milk and mush and he IS
apt to be as cross as a bear; stick a
violin between his fat feet and fingers

at the strings, a smile of cherubic joy
will wrinkle his plump face-and he

Atlanta's latest prodigy is June
Howard Stollard. the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. II. Stollard. of A East
Main Street. and he bids fair to de-
velop into another Mischa Elman.
But it was not until he was five
months old and crawling over every
thing in the house that the love of
music that possessed the little soul
became known, and then only through
accident. One morning the baby

Of the medley of sounds emitted by
the protesting violin came now and

Since then open season has been
declared on violins in the Stollard

all geniuses, the child is content to sit
and fiddle all day long. whether he
has an audience or not. He has
gained confidence with experience.
and now he picks and pecks at the
violin strings for dear life. The child

SLATON DOUBTS
RIGHT To PAY
TEACHERS
Governor Asks Opinion on Amend
ment Purporting to. Add Power
in Expenditures.

Governor Slaton has grave doubts
whether the recently ratified consti-
tutional amendment purporting to in
crease the Executives borrowing
power has not really put limitation
upon his powers rather than extended
them.
So serious are these doubts in the
Governors mind that he has referred
the matter to the Attorney General
for an opinion, and will not under
take to do anything in relieving the
present situation with respect TO pay
ing the common schooIteachers until
his mind has been cleared up by that
official
If the amendment has fully author
lied the Governor to proceed to the
relief of the teachers, unquestiona-
bly, he will give the matter that d.
rection, but the peculiar wording Of
the amendment, coupled with the
statutes involved, has given rise TO
perplexing doubts in the Executive
mind as to just exactly what the law
does contemplate, and he hesitates to
attempt a loan for any purpose what
ever until he knows exactly what
terms and conditions a loan under
the amendment would impose, not
only upon the State, but upon the
source Of the loan.
Anxious TO Pay Teachers.
Governor Slaton is anxious to see
the school teachers paid. OF that
there is no doubt. But the uncertain
ty in his mind as to the law in the
case, as well as the marked stringen-
cy of the money market at this time,
has prompted him to make haste
slowly.
If it might be so arranged the Gov
trnor prefers that such loan or loans
as he may contract be made with
Georgia bankers and fnanciers. If
the matter can not take this direc-
ton, however, the Governor will be
forced to go East for such funds as
he needs, and he has reason to sus-
pect that it will be rather expensive
borrowing at this time.
Naturally, the Governor does not
wish to involve the State in a trans.
action calling for an abnormal ex-
pense item by way of interest.
The Governor wishes to relieve the
present pressing necessities of the
common school teachers. and in ad-
dition to that he hopes to secure from
the present General Assembly early
legislation of a character calculated
to avoid delaying the payment of the
teachers in the future.
Legislature to Cooperate.
There is a marked disposition n
the Legislature, moreover to coop
crate cordially with the Governor in
this matter.
During the present three day re-
cess Of the House and the Senate the
Governor will address his attention
almost exclusively to the problem of
financing the teachers in their pres
ent necessities and planning for their
permanent relief.
When the Legislature meets again
Monday it is likely that the Governor
viii put himself Immediately in touch
with that body, to the end that the
present troublesome status Of affairs
may be worked out legally, equitably
and speedily
