TO PRESS REPEAL
OF new TAX LAW
FIGHT FOR DEATH OF THE EQUAL
izATION MEASURE WILL BE
WAGED BY THEN-TO- BE POW.
ERS IN 1917.

Atlanta, Sept. 19.-The repeal OF
the state tax equalization law is go
ing to be passed in the next legisla-
ture by the-then-to-be dominant pow
ers of the state. This information
is brought out here today by some
of the dominant powers.
Financially, the situation in Geor
gia at this time sees it's salvation only
through the amendment put on the
last bunch of appropriations by John
d. Walker, which was accepted in
the house, and by which all special
appropriations made in the last SEES
sion have to stand aside for payment
until those. made at the session Of
1915, are fully paid up, In
other words, the Institutions which
succeeded in getting appropriations
the 1916 legislature have
promises on paper which may be liqu-
dated some day, or which may not.

Dorsey DOPED
TO BEAT ROKE
FOUR LONG YEARS NEW Gov
ERNOR ELECT MAY GO FORTH
AS "LITTLE DAVID" TO SLAY
GOLIATH.


Atlanta, Sept 18.-Will the tidal
wave of the Leo NJ. Frank case, which
swept Hugh Dorsey into the governors
office, last long enough to sweep him
into the United States senate against
Hoke Smith four years hence?
VIII the people continue, after four
years have elapsed, to regard the sue
| cessful prosecution of a man accused
of murder as the paramount issue in
their governmental affairs, or will they
grow tired Of constant repetition and
reiteration of the details of the case,
and in forgetting the case forget also
the man whose political fortune was
made by the case?
The friends of Mr.. Dorsey are now
grooming him for the senatorial toga
and they profess to believe that he
can make it." They seem to think
that their young candidates success
in the gubernatorial contest insures
him continued success in any future
contest he may enter, no matter how
great the honors to which he aspires
and no matter how great the ability
and campaigning power of the oppo-
nent he goes against.
Judging by the statements given
out by J. Gordon Jones', of Cordele,
and others, the matter has all been ar
ranged. The campaign advisers who
dictated the policy of Mr.. Dorsey's
race for governor have already decid-
ed that Mr. Dorsey SHAH go forth like
a second Little David" four years
hence, and bring to earth the Go
Hath" who is now the senior senator
from Georgia.
The principal. plank in the Dorsey
sena torial platform, according to Mr..
Jones and others who claim to enjoy
the confidence of the governor-elect,
will be national prohibition.
OF course, four years is long
time, counted by the political calen-
dar, and great many things can hap
pen in that length of time to make or
break political fortunes.
In Georgia, for instance, some of
the things that can happen, and will
happen-so far as fortunate or unfor-
tunate political consequences are con
ccrned-are the leasing or other dis
position of the Western e Atlantic
railroad, which involves the proposed
extension of the Western & Atlantic
to the sea; the continuation of the
present prohibition laws, or the re-
peal or emasculation of those laws;
the placing of cheaper school books
in the hands of the people, or the fail
IRE Of efforts to secure reforms along
this line,-these and many other big
questions are. going to be settled in
Georgia in the next four years, and
upon the manner of their settlement
will depend a good many political am
billions and careers.

HUMAN NATURE.

You can't please the human race, it's
NO use to try.
When it halls they want snow, when
wet they way it dry
When it's cold they wont it hot, when
clear they want rain;
People don't know what they want,
it's always been the same;
On purely cussed principles, the hui
man race was made;
When they are in the sunlight they
are hunting for the shade;
When they are in the shadow, and
find they are not in view,
They walk out in the sunlight, that's
me and you
When they leave this earthly sphere,
to read their title clear,
To a mansion in the skies, and the
verdict hear,
And realize that it is their eternal
lot;
Heaven will be too cool-and hell will
be too hot.

PROSPEROUS TIMES MEANS
MANY DARKTOWN WEDDINGS

The remunerative occupation of cot

ing prosperity is certainly spreading
matrimonial ambitions among the col
cred population. The Crisp county
court house nowadays is a scene of
one or more marriages almost daily,
and the officials about the county's
capitol authorized to perform such
functions have had to whet up bit
on their knowledge of how the cere-
mony runs. Judge Fleming, newly
