CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 MET LAST NIGHT

The regular meeting of the Malvern Chamber of Commerce was held last night at the Woodman hall. The at tendance was small, but much iln- portant business was transacted. The cotton situation was taken up and discussed, also other matters of interest to Malvern business men. On account of the absence of the presi- dent and vice president, R. P. Good man, was chosen as temporary chair man, and presided over the meeting. Several interesting talks were made by J. H. Reeves, Parke Chamberlain and Geo Glenn. A matter which will be of importance to all members of the body was brought up, but was post poned until the next meeting when more are expected to be present. The proposition of building a road from the Saline to the Clark county line, was also laid over until the next meet ing of the body.
 Members who failed to attend the meeting last night surely missed a splendid meeting and one that would have been enjoyed by anyone. A special effort will be made to have large attendance at the next meeting of the organization, to take up sever al matters which were laid over at last nights meeting.

The Railroads War Board

That the important part the rail- roads of the country play in war pre- paredness is recognized by the admis- istration is evident from the work that has already been done and that is now contemplated, A railroads war board composed of practical railroad men headed by Fairfax Harrison, has been working on railroad problems for some time and has secured some very tangi- ble results. It has influenced railroad service very materially.
 The railroad War Board has been far less conspicuous than some other bodies interested in preparedness, but it has done some excellent work and is evidently doing it's share to make the entry of the United States into the War effective.-Marquette, Mich, Journal, Aug. 1, 1917.

co. EXAMINER HAS PLANS
 FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS

The County Examiner, R. H. Free
 land is just in receipt of blue print plans and specifications from the State Department of Education, of a model one teacher, two teacher, three teacher and four teacher rural school building. w. E. Laseter State Rural School Supervisor, has spent much time with the architect working out the details of the plans, giving spec ial attention to the sanitary features and conyeniences, making them mod
 ern in every respect, and at the same time keeping down expense After the plans were complete, MT. Laseter'
 submitted them to a United States Government expert on School archi- lecture. This expert pronounced the plans good, and worthy to be setforh
 by the Educational Department as model plans.
 The plans received by the County Examiner will remain in his office for the inspection of intrusted school di- rectors who are contemplating build- ing. After the directors have examin- ed the plans and specifications, if they will agree to build according to them w. E. Laseter, State Rural School Supervisor, Little Rock, will furnish to the directors, free of charge, plans and specifications for the building agreed upon.
 These model school plans sent out from the State Department of Educa-
 tion, by MT. Laseter, should do much
 to standardize and modernize the
 future school buildings of this state
 and directors who are planning to
 build new schoolhouses are especially
 invited to inspect the plans in the
 County Examiners office.

Short Notes ON Georgia Affairs
Thursday, July 10, 1915

Such laws confer special privileges. DEM
ocratlc institutions cannot be too carefully
guarded, for the insidious enemy is always
seeking entrance to the citadel
The ideal democratic government would tax
all property alike, with no favors, exceptions,
or inequalities.
The Constitution of Georgia goes quite far
enough in eXempting churches, free charities,
free libraries, etc.
That gap ought not to be made lower, or
wider. Southern churches which find them
z selves able to maintain the most magnificent
educational, industrial, and charitable insti-
tutlons IN nearly every foreign country,
should not beseige the Legislature every year
to unload their taxes on somebody else
The State is obliged to have certain
amount OF income, and you can't give me my
taxes without adding them to the taxes Of
my neighbours
pay its little quota.
What shall we Boneheads do with our 49,
600 gallons Of wine? Lord That question
is Fostering us heap, to be sure.
A man IN South Georgia died. and left the
wine to the State University, and the High
brows don't know what to do with it. They
don't want it wickedly wasted, and they
helped make a law that won't let them sell it,
and | am rather inclined to believe that, if
they have taken possession of it, they can all
be sent to the chain-gang.
In fact, | don't understand why the United
States Marshals, State Sheriffs, and sundry
deputies have not already raided the place
where it is stored, and seized it, for confsca-
ton: Wine is wine, you know, and the Bone
head law does not allow the State Univer-
slty any extra privileges.
1t IS harasslng predicament; but my idea
would be to work off the 10000 gallons on
the French, In one of our war deals. The
French are VIGOROUSLY partial to wine, and
they have no Bonehead lawmakers.
A tax law which prescribes one rule for
Northern corporations which own the best
paying properties in the State, and a differ
ent rule for the owners of lands, merchandise.
cattle, etc., is law which carries uequuzity
on it's face
A method of assessment, good for some.
should be good for ALL There should be no
favoritism, no discrimination, no difference
of system.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce repre-
sents Northern capital which is invincibly
opposed to equality in taxation.
Hence, the so-called Equalization bill was
the result of secret incubation in the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce
The public never heard of it, until those
dlllgent servants of Northern capital sprung
it on the legislature. Under whip and spur,
it was passed by the Jealous efforts and the
deciding vote of Speaker Burwell-a detest-
able incubus of whom the State is at last
partially rid.
The deceptively named Tax Equalization
law violates the Constitution of the State in
that it deprives the people Of the right to
elect their county officers.
1t abolishes the democratic principle Of
elective officers, and introduces the autocracv
of appointed officers.
