As an Illustration, the COM
pany now showing here south
of the new postoffice building,

Weis, secured his permission to
build a tent house without Sc
curing a building permit. The
erection of any thing of this

directly contrary to the village

could only be granted by the

whether this permission could
have been obtained at all by q

The treasury of the United States is practically bankrupt
Since Congress adjourned expenditures have exceeded receipts
over Sl,000OOO a day. At the close Of business last Saturday
night, Oct. %, there was an actual net balance in the general
fund of a little less than ~S6,OOO.OOO. and this was wiped out before
the end of October.
On election day the treasury will be empty and the country
facing a daily deficit of over a million dollars. At this rate the
deficit at the close of the present fiscal year will reach the enor
nous sum of over $3000 900 1000. This will not be met by the new
revenue law, the highest estimate of revenue under which was
S205,0OO000, and in the opinion of experts the amount to be raised
by the additional taxes imposed by that law will fall away short
of these figures. So that the administration, besides CARRYING
out its avowed purpose to issue Sl25, 100000 of Panama Canal
bonds to supplement the additional taxes, will have to resort
either to more taxes, or more bonds. And it is doubtful if even
one more issue of Panama Canal bonds can be floated without de-
preciating their value.
The actual present depleted condition of the treasury and the
imminent wiping out altogether of the general fund balance is not
readily apparent to the public from the daily treasury statements
as published in the newspapers. For instance on Saturday last
this balance was given as Sl63, 77O.599 But included in this, as
shown by the official treasury statement of October 2lst, is $685.
570,362 to the credit of disbursing officers, which, according to
experts, should be deducted S~45,17l,682 for the redemption Of
national bank notes, which is a general fund liability, and should
be deducted; and ~$l7,240,9S5 in subsidiary silver coin, silver bull
lion, minor coin and unsorted currency carried in the general bal
anCe which is not available to meet the obligations of the treasury,
Consequently, after deducting these items there was left in he
treasury last Saturday only $5,7S7, $50, and at the present daily
loss this will vanish in = few days. A bankrupt treasury on cleo
ton day, direct and burdensome taxes, and bonds in time Of paace
will not be a pleasant thought to the voters on next Tuesday.

Notes ON Georgia Politics.


IN his letter to Dr. Turner, few months
ago, Mr.. M. L. Britain assured the Doctor
that he, Britain, had 0IaodyS favored free
school-boolzs.
This amazing statement caused me to secure
the evidence on Britain, convlcting him of
deliberate f0zSch00d
Hon. Grover G. Edmondson wrote. stating
that Britain not only zob6ied against the free
book bill, but that he, Edmondson, had de-
nounced him for it, on the floor of the House.
Senator G. r. McCrory also wrote, cor
roborating Mr. Edmondson, and convicting
Mr. Britain of an additional falsehood in
reference to Senator HUE.
AS IT this wasn't bad enough, a friend at
Qultman sent me Brittain's own letter. writ
ten IN January, 1914, in which Mr. Britain
stated his opposition to free books, and placed
said opposition on the ground that the State
is not able to afford it.
The State is able to support Jim Price and
Pete Bahnsen, in their able efforts to carry
the Agricultural Department around in pas
senger cars, to the tune of $4,000 a year,
but it can't afford to comply with the Con-
stltutlon of 1877, which demands that our
children shall have free education, in the rudi-
ments of an English Education
The State can afford to spend over $500
year. on every young man whose father is
able to board him in Athens, but it is not
able to put blue-back spelling book in the
hand of the poor mans son, and thus give
him start IN the long, hard path, which all
OF us who were poor know SO we'll.
The State is able to run two Agricultural
Stations, one at Griffin and the other at Ath-
ems, in the effort to improve grown men in
farming, but 1t is not able to obey its Oa07o
Zae0, which requires that it's boys shall be
taught how to read and write, so that they
may become better qualified to act as jurors
and r0terS.
Not many days before the Legislature met,
Mr. Britain addressed the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce.
AS reported in Clark Howell's paper, Mr..
Britain told the Brahmins that he favored
free school books. Britain must have studied
the processes of the ancient Greek diplomats,
who were said to enter the room with q
d51enamoa, negotiate with a su6terfuge, and
leave with a mental reservation.
Anyway, Britain has been up to his old
tricks, throughout the Session. HE OP-
POSED FREE BOOKS! He would con-
sent to nothing more than an experiment. with

THE JEFFERSONIAN

Jims lieutenant, E. L. Worsham, kept the
States money in his own name, in bank; and
that on Dec. 81 1915, when the cash balance
of the State should have shown $14, 393.23,
Lee Worshams bank balance was only S49.77,
and the States money a0as moa0here to be
fownd!
This is the s'record" which Jim Price is
running on, for reelection
The Accountant reports that Jim has been
spending $4,000 buying cotton seed, to giue
aaOay!
At so cents a bushel that sum would buy
quite lot of seed.
To qchomo has Jim Price givem 10000
bushels of cotton seed?
Did you know that the State has been geo.
ing aaoay foe thousand dollars, a year, in cot
ton seed, while it is too poor to keep old
soldiers pensions promptly paid, unable to
promptly pay the school-teachers, and IN
able to give the poor mans child Spelling
book and Reader?
Five thousand dollars for free cotton seed!
Who got 'em?
Tell US about it, Jim! You have no plat
form, but are running on your "record."
Here's your record, jim! Tell us from
whom you bought the seed, and to whom you
gave them. ~
And tell us whether you knew, in Dec. 1915,
that Lee Worsham Was short $4,000!
In Lincoln County lives, Jim Boykin,
brother to the Atlanta lawyer who took sides
against us in the Frank case
In 1914, the county went for Rufe Hutch
ems, in his race for the Senate.
Jim Boykin had himself appointed delegate
to the Macon Convention, and he therein
knitted Rufe Hutchens, and delivered Linz
coZn'o o,Oto tO Hrr13s1ck
In other words, Boykin betrayed the
county he represented. In Lincoln, he
couldn't get so votes for anything.
In Dorsey's race, he sees a chance to get
on the band wagon, and regain lost ground.
Everybody sees that the Hardwick- Pottle-
Harris plan is, to divide the vote, and throw
the struggle into another Macon Convention.
To such convention, Hardwick men will

Slaton to vilify the State and myself in the
Frank Case:

[ ask them, in good faith.
Jim Price says he is running on his record.
His record! HIS record !!
On page % of the Public Accountants
Official Report, is a part of the record that
James Price and Peter Bahnsen are running
on.
The baleful words are as follows:
During the two years under review this
Department spent $32 1908 for traveA"
Thirty-two thousand dollars for James and
Peter to ride up and down on the railroads,
hunting for boll-weevils, attle-ticks, and
Betsy bugs!
There are only about 800 work days in a
year, and if James and Peter spend $4,000
year travelling, they are going at the rate of
$50 day-which is really too much for such
travellers as James and Peter
The official report further says
"No one in this department is under bond"
If that's the case, it's no wonder Peter and
James travel so extensively.
The baleful report continues
"The Agricultural Department draaos d.
rectzy from the Treasury E.. while other
departments get money only on warrant of
the Governor, countersigned by the Comp
trcller"
James and Peter go right to the Captains
office, and demand the ducats, on what the
lawyers call their own ipSe dirit.
No other department can get money on it's
ipse dirit.
The others have to go to the Governor for
a warrant, and this order on the Treasury has
to be countersigned by the Comptroller.
More Of Jin1's record is found on pages 81,
50, and So, of the Accountants official report.
It is melancholy reading. It almost gives
one the blues.
These pages show that Jim seldom visits
his most estimable wife, in Athens, but that
when he does, he charges it up to you and me.
Dog my cats, if l like that
What say is, Let every man pay his own
way when he goes to see his wife.

least considerable money is being

ore in that locality. This Is not the

formation running through Iron coun-
~. AT the old Banner property on the
Northwestern road short distance
this side OF Gogebic station, the last
exploratory, work was done in an ef-
fort to trace the ore formation from
Iron county west. Here some ore was
found and considerable work has been
done here at times for many years.
During the last two years considera-
BILE drilling has been done on the
property. and this week the first ship
ment OF ore was made, some fifteen
tons being shipped TO a furnace COM
pany at Minneapolis for trial. We
were told by the men working at the
property that this ore runs in the
neighborhood of fifty per cent in iron.
but they were unable TO give the
amount OF phosphorus or other con-
tents. The company in charge OF the
property now have diamond drill at
work about a half mile south OF the
old Banner shaft. They evidently have
faith in the property and perhaps
their efforts may be rewarded by the
discovery OF Southeastern Gogebic
