He promised to communicate to the
assembly in a few days his views as
20 how the situation could be adj
justed.
The incoming executive urged that
the new tax law include provision
requiring intangible property to
bear cts just part of the burden
He declared visible property now is
carrying the bulk of the load.
Tax Repeal Urged
"WhateVer may be said in favor
of the tax equalization law" said the
governor, lit cannot be questioned
that a large majority of the people
of the state are opposed to 1t, ana
until it is repealed there can be
no civic or political peace, harmony
or unity among the people"
The new governor made plea
for an era of peace, progress ana
prosperity in the state, and express
ed the conviction that such period
| is near at hand.
He denounced "outside neWspa'
pers" for exaggerating all sensation

an effort to give the state black

outside advertising our state is re

want the world to know that every
time an outrage is committed in this
state, our best people hasten to de

The governor put in word toF
the educational institutions of the
state, and predicted that new tax
rvstem would bring in enough adj
ditional funds to put them on par
financially, with educational lnstltu'

carry out the recommendations of
the former chief executive will be
introduced at an early date.
A bill proposing to abolish the fee
system of paying officials in coun-
ties with populations Of more than
~ 900 was introduced by the De-
Kalb delegation. A measure similar
to this one provoked a spirited fight
in the house at the last session, and
lacked a few votes of receiving a
two thirds majority. This bill would
affect the counties of Fulton, Chat
ham, Bib, Richmond and Musco-
gee, under the 1920 census returns.
Floyd and Laurens counties had a
few less than 10000 people when
the census was taken.
Biennial Session Proposal
Senator William w. Mundy, of the
thirty-eighth district, stated SatuN-
day that he would introduce in the
senate at an carly date a bill pro-
viding for biennial sessions Of the

sored this bill at the last session,
when he was a member of the house,
and secured it's passage through the

former Governor Hardwick, and
provides for a chief auditor at a
salary of $4,000 per year, one chief
examiner at $4,000, and two as

Another port battle was presaged
who Representative Clark and
New, of Laurens county, and Rep
resentative Harrison, Of Johnson
county, introduced a bill to abolish
the present ports and harbors com
mission. The Chatham and Glynn
delegations are expected to oppose
this measure, as both Savannah and

Mr.. Gibbs came in, moving swiftly
and nerVously to a reserved seat.
The nervousness came from lack OF
sleep. He had slept but one hour
out Of forty-three. Gibbs is one OF
the foremost naval architects and
constructors in the world. 1t was
he who had made the plans for
reconditioning the Leviathan-after
the Germans refused to part with

and he also supervised the elghl

TIE AGE OF WORK.

Did You ever notice, the more you do
The more you are fit to try?
And the harder a fellow climbs hill,
The easier he goes high?
The harder the job, the fImer the jaw
That's set to the task; there grows
4 confidence backing the man who
tries,
And the farther ahead he goes.
When a job is easy one falls asleep
Is asleep when the game is called;
And the man who could run can hard
ly creep,
When his engine Of luck has stalled.
But the keener the fight when a man
runs right,
The easier things come through
And the easiest job when it's finished
is that
Which at first was hardest to do.
The more you do, the harder you hit,
The faster you run, old friend,
Just that much easier is your bit
With AZ victory at its end.
The world is looking for square jawed
men
And not for the folks that shirk-
We've played long enough with the
painted toys.
For this the AGE OF WORK.

HOSPITAL FOR TOWN MAY
FOLLOW K. OF P. ACTION
At Session of the Lodge Friday
Evening of Last Week

At the last regular convention of
Garrett Lodge No. 1f3, Knights of
Pythias, DR.. Henry w. McComas, who
was scheduled to give the brethren
one Of his interesting talks, uncovered
q big surprise by unfolding a plan,
upon which he has given considerable
thought and study, by which an up
to-datc and well equipped hospital
Will be erected and put into operation
in Oakland. Dr. McComas pointed
out the need Of such an institution in
this vicinity and stated that the or
ganization had demonstrated what it
could do by clearing the Pythian Cas-
te Of the debt that has been against
it for some years, and it was now up
to the brethren to get behind some
other worthy object, than which there
could be no other that would do more
good.
At the close Of the doctors ad-
dress, the subject was enthusiastical-
ly discussed by a number of the
brethren present, the result being
that a committee was appointed to
devise plans, ways and means, and to
investigate the matter thoroughly,
with the view of getting the project
under way at the earliest possible
date, and backed by a membership of
more EAan five hundred, together with
the support Of all who have the well
being of sick and needy persons at
heart, it is felt that there can be but
one result, q hospital for Garrett
county, that will not only be a credit
to the Pythian Lodge, but a help to
the county at large.
The committee is composed of the
following: DR.. Henry w. McComas,
chairman; Messrs. Henry Lauer,
Lawrence NJ. Fraley, J. c. Renninger,
H. P. Stuck. Paul B. Naylor, C. n.
NcIntire nd G. J. Altstetter. These
gentlemen will at once get into ac-
ton and formulate their plans, which
viii be taken up by the lodge at as
early a date as possible, with but
one view in mind-to push this most
worthy project through to a success
