Chamberlain bill of the U. S. senate,

It provides that each and every

''the scum of the cutters" Mind you,
Bill Taft is far from an anarchist or

cious society is the fruit Of the ex-
perience of the human race. AS the
race became more fully developed
and the shortcomings of their mar
riage system was recognized it grad
UaIly passed away and a more per-
feet form replaced it.
Just as our bodies have developed
from the one-called protozoa to its
present complex form, changing al
ways to suit our needs and under
pressure of our environment, so the
institution of marriage has developed
from promisCUous intercourse
through all the successive stages,
each better adapted to our present
needs than the discarded one until it
eliminated in mOnOgamy. And
whether we have reached the highest
point or are pushing on to still bet

LOCAL MEN ON
s. s. COMMITTEE
ANNUAL CONVENTION OF SUM-
DAY SCHOOLS COMES TO
CLOSE IN ATLANTA.

After selecting Savannah as the
next meeting place and eIecting off
GERS for the ensuing year the annual
convention Of the Georgia Sunday
School association has come to a
close at Atlanta. ID. w. Krauss, Of
Brunswick, was chosen a member of
the new executive committee.
This convention has been declared
the most successful ever held in
Georgia. More registered delegates
were present than at any previous
meeting; more money was pledged
for the furthering of the state work
than at any other convention; a stron-
ger program was rendered than ever
before, and the plans for future work
in Georgia are more far-reaching than
ever contemplated previously. The
spirit OF optimistic confidence seemed
10 be with the entire assembIage and
il is predicted that another twelve
months work will show more remark
able results than any preceding year
in the great Sunday school revival
sweeping Georgia.
In the closing days session an OPP
pOrtunity was given counties that
had not made any contribution for the
support OF the work in the coming
year to do so. The previous sum of
$1,000 was increased nearly $4,000
more. The $1,000 thus pledged is not

THROUGH RATES
TO APPLY HERE
SOUTHEASTERN SHIPPERS WIN
IMPORTANT VICTORY IN
FEDERAL COURT.

Grain dealers in southeastern points
scored another victory when the fed
eral court in a recent decision allow
ed grain shipped in carload lots to
come to this territory from Ohio riv-
er crossings at the through rate.
The decision was in the case of the
Nashville Grain exchange against the
government and interstate commerce
commission and to nullify an order of
the commission which allowed cars of
grain to come through Nashville to
southeastern points at the through
rates, or in other wolCs, did away
with the discrimination in favor of
the Nashville shippers.
The case was heard before Judges
Pardee. Newman and Foster The ex-
change was Represented by Perkins,
Baxter & o. p. Andrews, while E.
Marvin Underwood, assistant attor-
ney general, and Blackburn Esterline,
special assistant to the attorney gen.
eral represented the government The
Interstate commerce commission was
represented by Joseph W. Fold and
Charles w. Nedham.
The grain exchange wanted the
through rate to the southeast to APP
ply only to less than carload lots,
arguing that Nashville was entitled
to discrimination because of river
competition. The court however, by
its decision orders the petition dis
missed and southeastern shippers
may now receive car load lots at the
rates.

FIVE MILLS RATE
IN GEORGIA SOON
TAX INCREASE FOR THE WHOLE
STATE MADE NECESSARY
EY NEW BUDGET.

The report Of Comptroller Gener-
al William A. Wright. which is just
from the printer. makes it apparent
that, after tTO FEARS of a reduced
tax rate. the state will have TO g.
back to the constitutionally limited
rate of five mills III order to approx
mate the necessary revenue to meet
the approximations already made for
1916 and 1917. and that this rate,
based upon the valuations of proper
ty for 1915, viii produce a total rev.
enue which will be $206,845 short of
the present appropriations.
The comptroller general expresses
the opinion that it will be necessary
to resort to rate of five mills, and,
under circumstances outlined, makes
the following suggestion:
81 would, therefore, respectfully
suggest that the appropriations for
1916 and 1917 be not Increased and
no special appropriations be made at
the coming session of the legislat-
ure."
The report shows that five mills
rate upon the valuation of property
in 1915 will produce an estimated rev.
enue of $7,758,S17, which, less the
cost of collection. 240.14O, leaves S4,-
51S,677. When income from all 9th
er sources is added the total estimat-
ed revenue for 1916 amounts to &c.
210.30.
The total appropriations for 1916
and 1917 already made amount to
S6,416,875, leaving deficit of $685.
S45.
The comptroller general points out
that if the valuation of property for
1916 falls under the figures for 1915
the revenue for 1916 will be CORE
spondingly lower than the estimate,
while, on the ether hand, if there
should be an increase in taxable val
ues, there will be . corresponding in
crease in revenue.
The present tax rate which is that
fixed in 1915 is AS mills. The rate
for 1914 was AS. The rate for 1913
was five mills. which is the limit
fixed by the constitution of the state
and to which the comptroller general
believes the state will have to return
when the rate for 1916 IS fixed
