finally put the question up TO the Of
flee Of the attorney general with the
request for an opinion 70 be ready
for the session tomorrow forenoon.
one suggestion is that since the
people by amending the constitution,
repealed the constitutional provisions
regarding the state board Of equaliza-
ton. that they thereby revive the
old territorial law and that this will
be In effect until the legislature passes
a new revenue statute on the books.
Many of the officials believe that the
territorial, law In effect at the time
statehood came, was a fairly good
statute and could serve the present
needs with but few amendments.
Whatever the ruling, 1t is likely that
the convention will adopt the sched-
Iule OF valuations for national hanks,
transportation companies and other
corporations as well as livestoeks that
was In force the past year and which
had been fixed bx the state board OF

The more important changes to be
recommended to the legislators are:
To provide more expeditions

To allow change of venue to con-

~ in the same district in which the

WOMEN ARE PLAYING POKER
Is Threatening to Gust BriUge IN At
Ianta Society. They Put Up
Stakes, Too, Says Gossip.

ATLANTA.-Poker playing for
small stakes has become such a pop
ular pastime among women in At
lanta, according to society gossip,
that it is threatening to GUST bridge
in many exclusive circles.
Many of the parties still go by the
name of bridge" it is said, but in
stead of playing auction for silk
stockings and other prizes or for a
penny-a-point the ladies borrow their
husbands or brothers poker chips
and play penny-ante and nickel limit.
They say they have the preachers
own word for it that poker playing
is no more gambling and no wickeder
than playing whist for prizes-that
both are morally on exactly the same
basis, and that they prefer poker be-
cause it is a more sociable game.
In a bridge game all conversation
has to cease, whereas in the poker
game pleasant conversation and Cos
sip can 60 on continually. Further
more, they say, it is a pleasant
change.
Atlanta women do not agree with
DR.. Beckwith, the eminent Chicago
scientist, who declares that poker
playing is injurious to women's ner-
vous systems. DR.. Beckwith says
that disappointment from poor hands
floods their systems with a sort of
nervous poison, but does not explain
why the same would not be equally
true of a poor hand at auction

THE NEW REGISTRATION LAW
Permanent Registration Act Now in
Effect. Once Registered You
Are Always Registered.

Georgia's new permanent regis
tration law, recommended by Gov
ernor Slaton in his last message to
the legislature and made law by
the general assembly, went into eff
feet January list. This feature OF
our state government formed a prom
inent and vital part of Governor
Slaton's message.
Under this new law voter once
registered is always registered, I'M
less the disqualification attaches be-
cause of failure to pay taxes or 9th
erwise. Registrations will be auto
matica?ly renewed from year to year
under this law provided only that
the other statutory qualifications as
to the exercise of the right of suf-
frage be complied with.
Taxpayers are required to return
all property for taxation held by them
on January 1st each year, instead OF
on February 1st or later as formerly
Tax receivers are required to open
their books for returns on February
LIST instead of April list as has been
the case. These books will close on
May 1st hereafter, instead of July
list. And within ten days of May LIST
all tax receivers are required to pre-
sent the tax returns to the county
boards of assessors for verification
and equalization. .....
The new tax law is expected tc
increase Georgia's total income hand
somely, eventually to lower the tax
rate, and to provide permanent
system of registration sure to bring
about a much fuller and more repre-
sentative ballot in future elections
inside the state.

TO WRITE POLITICAL HISTORY
HISTORIAN KNIGHT WILL TURN
ATTENTION TO SUCH BOOK.
Form Permanent Record. Curl
ouS and Interesting Things.

Lucian L. Knight, state historian
and compiler of colonial and revolu-
tionary records, is at work on the
compilation of some political histo-
ry that will prove of the greatest
general interest, and VIII form per-
manent record of great value.
Mr.. Knight is going to secure a
completed history of the legislative
bodies since the establishment of the
commonwealth of Georgia, data not
now existing, except as contained in
the journals of the assembly, and
unfortunately there are missing
years in these, making gaps difficult
to bridge, but which Mr.. Knight feels
assured he can do from various
sources, necessitating a great deal OF
delving and research into old state
and county records.
One book will consist of the or
ganization of each general assembly,
showing the officers and the mem
bership. A second book will show
the representation of each county
from the first down to the present,
giving the name of every man who
has represented the county. A third
book will deal with the individuals.
1t is Mr.. Knights intention to
show the men who have presided
over the senate and house, with in
formation concerning the public ca
reers of these officials. Many curious
and interesting things come to light
as he delves into this fascinating
work.
For instance, probably not one
person out of thousands now living
know that Jones county once fur
nished a speaker for three consecu-
tive terms (members were elected
annually them. His name was Jo-.
seph Day, and at that time Jones
county had four members in the
house. being one of the wealthiest
and most important counties in the
state.
A long while ago each county had
a senator and members of the house
on the unit system. But there were
comparatively few counties then. AS
the state was divided and redivided
into counties the senate was found
to be getting cumbersome, and
groups of counties elected senators
thereafterwards.
Mr.. Knight already has in hand
much of the material desired.

CARPETING RIVERS BOTTOM
HEROIC EFFORTS TO KEEP MIS-
SISSIPPI FROM WANDERING.
And Leaving Memphis High and Dry
As an Island City. Willow Mats
Mile Long Are Used.

The bottom of the Mississippi riV-
er, or rather portions of it, near
Memphis, Tenn, is being supplied
with a carpet in the shape of gigantic
willow mats woven of willow trees,
which are being constructed in Sec
lions on the surface of the river it.
self and then sunk into place. The
purpose of this carpet is to keep
Memphis on the river, which for sew
eral years has been cutting a new
channel near the city, threatening
to leave it high and dry mile from
the channel of the stream. The tur-
bulent river already has to its credit
or discredit, many towns deserted in
this manner, with consequences seri-
Gus enough. In the case of Mem
phis, however, these consequences
would be disastrous almost beyond
description; her costly harbor facil-
tiles would be utterly ruined and the
city left with a huge mud bank be-
tween it's fine levee and the stream.
The threatened danger was first
noted by government engineers about
year ago, and preparations were
Immediately started to avert it.
While the turbulent river has for
several years been eating railroads,
houses and farms in the vicinity of
Memphis, crunching them in its mud
dy nav and carrying them down to
the Gulf of Mexico, it seemed that
the hungry stream had at last met
something that would check its appe-
tite when a sheer wall of solid rock
appeared at Hopefield point, oppo-
site Memphis. But the greedy river
attacked this seemingly insurmount-
able obstacle with as keen a relish
as it had shown for banks of earth
and it was soon realized that the
rock was being undermined.
The willow mats now being placed
in the river at that point will, the
engineers in charge of the work de-
clare, put stop to the erosion. AS
fast as a section is completed it is
weighted with rocks to sink it into
place and then pinned to the bottom
with piles. The Mississippi is the
only river in the world that enjoys
! the distinction of having its bottom
carpeted.
