CYCLORAMA IN. DANGER
OF BEING DESTROYED

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 5.-The ia
nous painting of the battle of At
lanta, which is known as the Cy-
clorama, and has been praised by
distinguished artists as one of the
finest paintings in the world, is
daily and hourly in danger of des-
truction by fire.
At present the Cyclorama SIS
housed in highly inhammable
frame building in Grant Park, in
Atlanta, and a spark on the roof
or the single sides of the build
ing would instantly set it on fire.
Last year the Legislature passed
a special amendment to the city
charter of Atlanta authorizing the
city to set aside sinking fund of
$4,000 year toward the cost of
a new Cyclorama building, but as
yet the city has not made
the appropriation, or even part of
lit, due to the depleted condition
of the city treasury.

WHY NOT COMBINE HEALTH DEPART

rs running a notice to the effect
that the garbage wagons and city
teams are now under the direct
charge of the Street Commission
er, and that any complaints of &C
cumulated garbage, etc, should
be filed with the city clerk.
1t appears that the council did
turn the physical care and super
vision of these teams over to the
street department, to which they
properly belong, but certainly
did not carry with it the release
'of the Department of. Health
from looking after the sanitary
condition of the streets and alleys,
and the condition of the draining
bitches throughout the city. This
particular part OF the work OF
necessity belongs to the health
officer, who has it in his power
to give such instructions to the
street department as it may re-
quire to keep the city free from ac-
cumulations of filth and stagnant
pools, rank weeds and other con-
ditions which may tend to lower
the standard of health and clean
illness about the city. One feature
that the department of health
seems also to have had itself re-
leased from is the supervision of
sewer connections and numbers of
unsightly, unsanitary outhouses
are allowed on premises which are

SAVANNAH RECALL BILL
DEFEATED IN SENATE
Pierpont Will Now Serve Out
His Term

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. $50 far as
the Georgia legislature is con
cerned, w. J. iPerpont will serve
out his term as mayor of Savan-
nah. He may die before his term
is out, but that is matter for the
Fates to decide. And the liquor
dealers Of 1ava nnah whose sa-
looms We Closed on May l will
have to struggle along for a liv-
ing as best they can in other lines.
The bill to replace a recall on
the mayor Of Savannah which was
introduced in the house by the
Chatham county delegation and
introduced in the senate by Sena-
tor Lawrence, of Savannah, is
doomed practically to certain de-
teat. Its chances of passage at the
present time are about equal to
the chances of the goddess of JUS
tlce tumbling off her perch on the
dome of the capitol.
The senate has laid the bill on
the table and the house will never
reach the bill in its present status

not the purpose OF the Leader
Enterprise to annoy the Health
Department, but SO many matters
have been overlooked the past
several months, that numbers of
pee have called oft attention
to the failure Of somebody doing
his duty
If the street commissioner is at
fault, Council should take the
matter up with him, but if they
find that these matters are part
of the duty of the Health Officer
and that he has failed in the pro-
per discharge of the duties involv-
ing upon him then let him correct
them.
Early in the year we passed a
meat and milk inspection ordl-
nance, the city paid for its publ
cation and it is in force, but we
have not learned of any decided
effort to improve the condition
either of the milk or meat prod
ucts OF the city.
Fitzgerald is too small a city

SIX s..4I,jRi DAYS Fer
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
Important Measures Still in the
Hopper

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. with
only eight more working days OF
the session left. the house and SEN
ate still have before them a num-
Der of the most important bills OF
the 1916 session.
The compulsory education bills
which were passed by the house
and senate are different bills, and
must be harmonized before the
finished bill can be sent to the
governor. Either the house must
pass the senate bill or the senate
must pass the house bill. No
highway commission has yet been
created. The bill which passed
the house was regarded as a bur
lesGue and a joker and has been
denounced by many newspapers
throughout the state as worthless,
besides which the officials of the
United States bureau of public
road building have declined that
such commission as this bill Gre
ates will not enable Georgia to
secure her share of the federal ap-
preparation for road building. The
senate has shown a disposition to
improve the bill which passed the
house, but whether the house will
agree to these changes remains to
be seen.
Among other important legis-
lation remaining to be disposed Of
is the creation of an improved sys-
tenn of land title registration and
the adjustment of solicitors fees,
as we'll as the. exemption of col
lege endowments from taxation.

discovered in the field of Dennis
Smith, farmer just north of this

reported it and they are copvinc-
