Representative Clements. Of Irwin
County, owns the identical spot of
ground upon which President Jeffer-
son Davis was captured, after the
surrender of General Lee and the
night of the Confederate administra-
ton from Richmond.
The arrest of Davis was effected in
a little clump of woods, about two
acres in extent, near the Clements
homestead. and 1t has been preserved,
Just as 1t was then, ever since the
war. In the family of Mr.. Clements
1t has always been considered a sa-
cred place.
When Mr.. Clements father died he
left request that this spot Of ground
be kept in the hands of Southern
people" He was a lieutenant in the
Confederate army, and idolized JEFF
ferson Davis. He aided in the fallen
chieftain's escape. and only consented
to his surrender when 1t became plain
that further resistance was worse
than useless.
Mr.. Clements is contemplating, in
order that his fathers last wishes
may be compiled with, asking the
State of Georgia to accept title to this
spot where Davis was arrested, and
to appoint some kind of commission
or committee to take It IN charge
He has worked out no definite plan
he merely wishes to give the prop
erty to the State, with the under
standing that the State will project
1t, preserve it and keep it. as his ia
Their wished, in the hands of South
ern people"
Not a stick Of timber has been cut
from the land since the day Jefferson
Davis was arrested thereon, and
many trees that were mere saplings
then now are great oaks and pines.
Representative Shelby Myrick. OF
Chatham, is one OF the very hardest
worked men in the House
He heads the big Committee on
Constitutional Amendments, and that
committee likely will be worked over
time this session.
Myrick is one Of the very best law
yers in the House, and is a gentleman
of extreme affability and effective
ness. In other words. he is both able
and affable.
Mr. Myrick's committee already has
returned one county to the House
with a favorable report, and the
chances seem bright for the creation
of the same by the Legislature. The
proposition - Barrow County - has
been thoroughly thrashed out in the
committee, and the House is apt to
take the committees findings as
righteous and Just.

could locate in the House, and when
he made Mr.. Myrick the chairman of
that committee he paid him a high
but deserved compliment.
meeting of the legislative com
mittee of the Georgia Anti Saloon
League was held at Wesley Memorial
Church in Atlanta Tuesday night,
several members of the House and
Senate being present.
1t was decided not to introduce the
Tippins bill or any substitute for it
at this session of the Legislature, but
temperance legislation instead will
take the shape of a bill intended to
gather the fruits Of the Webb Ken
yon bill against interstate shipments
Of liquor recently passed by Con-
gress.
Whether the Legislature win enact
any liquor legislation whatever this
session is problematical, as there has
been so far no particular agitation of
the matter.
Representative George F. Paulk, Of
Berrien, will introduce in the House
soon a bill to establish a branch
school for the deaf in South Geor-
gia.
The bill will ask for a branch
school convenient to the $50 deaf
children in South Georgia who are
unable to avail themselves of the
education offered by the Cave Spring
School, on account of its inaccessible
ity.
The bill will not specify any par
ticular location, but will leave that
to be settled by committee appoint
ed by the Legislature or Governor
No large appropriation for buildings
will be asked. but the town where the
school will be located will be expect
ed to provide temporary buildings, at
least.
Representative Crawford Wheat
ley's dinner to the House Appropria-
tions Committee Wednesday evening
at the Capital City Club had much
more behind ii than the mere matter
of compliment to his committee,
although, of course, it was a most
delightful and engaging compliment.
Its direct purpose was to bring as
intimately together as possible the
committee and Governor Slaton.
Mr.. Wheatley, who Is the chair
man of the House Appropriations
Committee, believes that Governor
Slaton is exactly right in his ideas
with respect to the States income and
outgo. The Governor is known to have
determined that the present Legisla-
ture shall keep the lid on appropria-
tons, and not exceed the revenue an

Taxes for the year 1913 are not due
for over month yet; to be accurate,
they are not due until the first Mon
day in November.
The county treasurer today in
formed the Bonanza newsgatberer
that many people were already send
ing in their tax money by mail or
calling in person at the office in an
attempt to unload some OF their sur
plus coin. They are evidently labor,
ing under the impression that the
List of Taxpayers" which they re-
ceived from the assessors office is a
reminder that they should go to the
treasurer and contribute towards the
county's exchequer.
But Treasurer Mannix cannot al
this time take their money; and he's
sometimes sorry that he cant, be
cause that little hill that leads to tn,
court house is a hard one TO climb

her to make another trip to the tax
office.
1t isn't often that people get mad
because they can't pay out money
but this actually did happen the other
day. A woman ascended the hill to
the court house and when she reach
ed the treasurer's office she was puff
ing like steam engine. When she
had accumulated sufficient ozone in
her lungs TO articulate, she said she
wanted to pay her taxes. The official
told her that he could not take her
money; that the rolls had not yet
been turned over to him. that the
law would not permit him to issue
tax receipts until the frs Monday ii
November. The lady seemed hurry
and went away in a "mean-man'
mood.
The tax rolls are now in the hand
