Drunkenness Common.
Drunkenness is common among the
Aymaras. 1 have already described the
! terrible condition brought about by
! drink among the Quichaus, or indians
Of Peru and Ecuador The same cOndi-
ton prevails in Bolivia. Almost all OF
the indians, both men and women, drink
to excess, and they come together in
great crowds on feast days and have
drunken sprees, which are accompanied
by dances and other eXcessess where the
marriage laws do not prevail At such
times there is seldom any Drawing or
fighting. The drink seems to Supply
rather than excite, the people use so
much that the alcohol gradually burns
up their brans- am told that the
indian bows are bright until they reach
the age of Is, at which time they begin
TO earn enough so that they can afford
to buy liquor. They then deteriorate,
and are on the down grade intellec-
tually for the rest Of their lives.
There are few indians who are rich.
Some of them have mines, and others
estates Of their own. There is rich
indian family in Lima that has three
girls who will graduate this year at
the mission school These girls have
indian features, but they are by no
means bad looking. Their father pays
$4,000 gold a year for the rent Of his
house at the Peruvian capital. and he
owns several automobiles His money
comes from copper mines
Have Mechanical Ability.
There is no doubt about the natural
ability Of the indian along mechanical
lines He is the carpenter, iron worker
and mason in this city Of about $4,000
people. La PaZ has fine houses and
public buildings and also a large cathe-
dral that has been for years IN course
Of construction. All OF the work upon
these has been done by the Aymara
indians, and they have made practical
" all the furniture in use They are
expert cabinet workers, making tables
and chairs and interior woodwork Of
mahogany, rosewood and black walnut
They make artistic creations In StuccO,
the fine houses of La PaZ being dec
GRATED with plaster made Of mica
mixed with lime and sand and then
burnt in such a way that il gives a
finish like the best plaster Of paris.
The indians understand cOlOrs and
they have a steady job at painting the
cording to the law, every house has to
have a fresh coat OF paint every year.
What Bolivia needs TO do is to pass
liquor laws to curta1l the use Of raw
alcohol. to establish more schools and
industrial farms, and to inaugurate
that will create new wants
the indians. This done, they
will work to satisfy those wants, and
there will be a gradual uplift in their
condition. The hope is in the young
Of the race As far as I can see there
is no better field for mission work
anywhere than right here on the high
plateau Of the Andes. The govern
menU and the better classes Of the peo-
pie Of Bolivia would, I believe, join in
any such work

With a view 10 the spread Of educa-

Atlanta, Ga. August +.-Lawmak-

murderous mood, in so far as legisla-

cerncd.
The senate spent three days debat-
Ing the McCrory school book bill,
passed by the house, adopted a sub
stitute by Senator Irwin providing
for free school books then turned
around and defeated the entire propo-
stion. Later in the week an effort
was made to revive the issue in the
senate, but 1t failed. Therefore leg
islation etfecting the publication OF
any books by the state is dead is
sue. for this legislature at least.
The house defeated the proposed
constitutional amendment 10 place
state and county officers on salaries
instead of fees through referendum
to the people, 1t received 112 votes,
with 50 against 1t. Two-thirds of
the house, or 1913 votes. were neces-
sary to pass IT, The senate passed
this bill
1t developed during the discussion
that a large percentage of the pres
ent house. certainly a majority, is
against the fee system and want to
see it abolished. 1t was noticeable
also that the principal objection to it
came from large city counties, where
certain officials draw huge salaries
through fees.
An impression is gaining ground
fast that the fee system has only a
few more years TO run in Georgia
and is doomed.
When the house adjourned Friday
over TO Monday. it was on the bin to
place solicitors general on salaries
with indications that II would be de-
feated. as the opponents were using
every known tactic to bring that
about. The senate passed the bill
fixing salaries at $4,000.

CONSIDER ATLANTIC
POOL QUESTION

London, Aus. 5.-There is added in
terests in the Atlantic pool conference
hich is to renew its deliberations in
this city today because of the war sit
uation. 1t still faces one problem
which is to renew tbs deliberations in
ton now than when at the close of
the first conference in Berlin. That
is the attitude of the British lines do
ing business with Canada as to their
quota under any renewal of the eX
listing pool. The existing agreement,
which expired January LIST, last, was
renewed until this, the London con-
ference, but failure to reach an agree
ment now means the end of the pool.
The Canadian lines demand that their
Canadian business Of the last five
years be taken as the basis for the
quota to be assigned them. This bus
mess, however, has fallen off sharply
in the last year, dropping, in fact; to
fifty per cent. of the former figures;
and the other members of the pool
object to any division of business

Same Pay for Legislators.

A proposed constitutional amend
ment to increase the per diem salary
of members of the general assembly
from 81 to 81 per day, with 10 cents
mileage, failed to pass in the house
last week. a majority voted for the
bill, the vote being 81 to rs.
Under this bill it was proposed to
pay the speaker of the house and
the president of the senate SO per
day.
Mr.. Miller, of Bibb, in arguing for
the bill, said that the per diem of
81 per day was fixed by the consi-
tutional convention of 1877, and that
81 per day then was more than so
would be in this day. He argued
further than the higher pay would
induce better men to come to the leg
islative halls.
Mr. Jones, of Coweta, speaking
against the bill said that it was bet
ter for the state to pay its debts be-
fore talking of making new ones.

No Prohibition Legislation.

On July Is the house adopted q
resolution calling on the temperance
committee to report not later than
Friday on two prohibition bills which
would make the Webb anti shipping
law effective In Georgia
As a result of this instruction, the
temperance committee met July sc
and by vote of five to four reported
adversely on every bill before II
touching the prohibition question in
any manner.
There were several Of these bills
Two were 10 put the Webb law into
effect; another limited the percentage

urel another known as the pure
beer hill'' limited the percentage Of
alcohol to per cent. Others dealt
with locker clubs, proposing to stor
licensing them and also to limit the
class or kind of club allowed locker
club privileges.
However. the temperance commit.
tee refused to open the prohibition
question in any manner, shape or
form. A great sense of relief came
over the entire general assembly
from this action. because all realized
that 10 open this issue in either di
rection meant hard feeling, fiery ac-
cuSation and counter accusation and
such foment as would tear the state
win strife.
