enough, keep up the system for anoth-

of us would find it hard matter to
lay by the required amount each day

CAPITOL ISSUE
WILL.CET new
AIRING MONDAY

ATLANTA, Aug. 2.-The capital
removal bill will come up again Mon
day in the shape of committee hear
ing on the bill to have referendum
taken by the people on the PROPOSE
ton to repair the capital in Atlanta
or build new one in Macon. The
Atlanta proposition is burdened with
an expenditure of 100000 alto
gether unnecessary, as it will require
not one tenth of that amount to put
the present building in good shape.
Whatever the outcome of the refer
endum, it will not be binding or le
gal.
Atlanta committees are piping hot
over the move of Macon, which they
charge as being unfair and a piece
of political trickery", as we'll as a
bold attempt to deceive the people
of Georgia.
Indications are that before the ses-
sion ends, much bitterness will be
hown on both sides.

TARDY CORPORATIONS
URGED TO ACT QUICKLY

ATLANTA, Aug. 2.-The copper
atoms of the state of Georgia have
been unusually prompt this year in
filing their capital stock returns ac-
cording to Collector of Internal Rev
enue A. o. Blalock, who has made
a casual survey of the mass of re-
ports which swamped his office the
few days previous to August /, the
last day upon which they can be leg
ally returned under the law.
There has been no indication on the
part of the internal revenue depart
ment to extend the time for the tar
dy corporations, although this prece-
dent has been set in other tax colIec-
lions. If this is done, it will be an
nounced just as soon as the order is
issued from Washington.
Altogether Mr.. BIalock states that
Georgia concerns have shown a
knowledge of the requirements of the
statutes which stamp them as alert
and law-abiding.
Corporations that failed. to file
their returns on time are urged to do
SO at once, stating what reasons, if
any they had for neglacting to do so
on time. 1t is the disposition of the
department to be lenient viii those
who had good reasons for Overlook
ing this matter. e.

Scientists scoffed But the
superstitous Prepared
for Worst.
LRy Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. II, = Astonish-
ment was expressed by the supersti-
tious when the earth did not come to
an end today. The Ominous position
Of the planet had been well press
agented, and some astrologers and
persons versed in witchcrart had
maintained that at the precise mo-
ment when the major leaguers OF the
solar systems formed themselves in
straight line, with Neptune, Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury on
one side OF the sun and Uranus on the
other the earth, which had moved
four or five solar PAGES to the front
of the line, would behave like the one
horse shay.
Scientists had scoffed the idea but
the superstitlous ones recalled haVlnk
lighted three cigarettes with one
match or having walked under lad
der or having done in recent hysteric
times one OF the thousand and one
other things known far and wide as
omens Of evil days.
Students in Porto Rico are report
ed to have been so unfavorably i'm
pressed with their chances for con-
tinuing life yesterday that they ask
ed for holiday to prepare for the
worst.
Astrologers have predicted the end
Of the world on some similar occa-
sions for centuries. AS early as 11Sb
the world escaped one of their threat
ened cataclysms. This disappoint-
mont at tho eacana did not prevent
stoffler from predicting universal
deluge for 1924 year. as it turned
out, which was distinguished for
drought. Mother Shipton witch OF
Tudor times, was credited with being
equally sure that four hundred years
after her time, in 1881 to be exact, the
world would come to an end. Various
religious cults have made specially
in more recent years of specifying an
hour as the earth's last setting forth
scriptura1 or pseudo scientific argu-
ments in support Of their contention.

JAILED RADICALS TO
GO TO PITTSBURGH
Men Were Busy This AT.
ternoon Getting Their
Affairs in Shape.

Great excitement prevailed at the
county jail this afternoon on account
Of an order Just received by United
States Marshall C E. Smith from the
immigration Bureau to transport all
the imprisoned radicals now In the
county Jail to Pittsburgh.
JaLor Tom Buckley and several der
uties have been called into service
as special messengers to assist In get
ting funds from local banks where
many Of tho imprisoned men have &C
counts. !.
The departure of the radicals will
be viewed with regret by several
merchants near the jail, as these mel
have been good customers, spending
from twenty to fifty dollars and more
per day for tobacco, cigarettes, fancy
food and all kinds OF dellcacies.
1t Is thought the shipment will be
made tomorrow afternoon. Several
deputy sheriffs will probably be press
ed into service for the job there being
thirty two aliens in the party.

SIX INCH SNOW
FALL MADE CITY
LOOK BEAUTIFUL
Fall Began About 10 O'clock
And Lasted Practically
All Night.

Snow six inches deep covered the
ground today for the first time this
winter in such large quantities and
great were the antlcipations of the
youngsters who insisted on hauling
out sleds before school time and TAX
ing a most precarous coast with the
drifts which the sled runners kicked
up, cutting off the view, causing q
number OF mishaps.
Last night about nine o'clock the
wind began to blow and the snow be-
gan to fall heavily and all night the
weather cemons howled and piled
snow fastNg. and faster until This
morning the streets were difficult to
walk upon. BY noon many OF them
we're shoyeled and walking grew
easier. There are still streets, espe-
cially the hill streets, which remain
In their virgin condition, touched only
in the exact middle where holes OF
various size show that feet of differ
ent dimensions have stepped careful
ly To folks all one length the step
ping along from cavity to cavity re-
mains a fairly easy job but for the
short fellows, 1t isn't quite SO much
fun.
With the whole on Fairmont and
vicinity this morning lowered COM
pletely with whiteness and with the
roofs packed solid with snow and with
the tree branches holding large sizeu
portions on the slender space assigned
to them for the purpose, the city Is
very beautiful Tomorrow when the
snow is tramped down and swept out
of the way more or less, the erect as
whole will have been marred from
the picturesque standpoint.
In 1917 on December II the weather
registered fins Negrees above zero
while today it registers 16 above.
During that winter the Gas company
shut of the factories so that the do
nestle consumers would not suffer
and in spite of this much actual SUI
fering and inconvenience did occur.
How's your gas today? Be thankful If
you are keeping warm and can make
coffee in less than two hours and one
half. Last year the first snow OF the
year occurred on December 4th while
today's snow is the fifth we have had,
none of the others amounting to much,
Last winters weather was very mild.
Between December 4th last year
and December 23d we had delightful,
fall weather with the second snow OF
last year falling on the day after
Christmas. This being the fifth snow
for this year, 1t is predicted that some
very cold weather will fall to Fair
mont after Christmas and that the
SHOWS so far are merely preludes to
what is to follow.
1t was January third last wintgf
before we had a snow equal torthe
