New Testament to Be Used IL
Orient

CHICAGO, Aug, Am old re-
ligion in modern form will be sent
to an old land from modern
country when an Indian edition Of
the Goodspeed New Testament,
which recently attracted widespread
attention because Of its factual
TRANSLATION, is published by the
Christian Literature Society Of
Madras, through the cooperation Of
the University Of Chicago Press.
The project, made public today
is the result Of continual requests
from the Orient for translation Of
the New Testament in modern Eng
lish that can be used by native
students, who in trying to puzzle
out the language, find the style Of
the older versions awkward and
cumberson. Plates have been
furnished by the University of Chi
cago Press, and the actual rinting
will be done in India, perhaps in
some little shop off in Che noun
tains.

Preachers and Lawyers in Upper

ATLANTA, August &c. - Just
because a man has been elected a

does not mean that he can forget
the habits of lifetime, nor the
limbo of his calling.
There are number of lawyers

MOVEMENT IS ON

Legislators Are of Opinion That
Secretary of State Is
Under Paid
PRESENT SALARY
$500 PER ANNUM
His Department Only One in
State That Does Not Spend
Full Appropriation

ATLANTA, August 10. - A
movement has been started to de
wise some means whereby the re-
muncration of Secretary of State
s. Guyton McLcndon may be in
creased. This may take the form
of bill before the present session
of the assembly needs.
As secretary of state, Mr.. Nc
Tendon receives a salary of $4,000
per annum and as motor vehicle
commissioner he draws a salary of
$500 per annum, giving him to-
tai remuneration of $4,000 per an
mum.
One argument that is being
brought forth in his favor is that
his is the only department of the
state which does not spend all the
money appropriated for its use by
the assembly. In majority of the
cases, the law appropriated a flat
sum, or $50 much of it as may be
necessary which always means, it
is pointed out, the entire amount.
The motor vehicle law authorizes
Mr.. McLcnd0n to expcnd in the en-
forccmcnt Of the law, Is percent
of the receipts of the motor vehicle
department. His costs last year
figured 3.3 percent Of the receipts
and an average for the past years
of 81 percent. The remainder Of
this percentage goes into the treas
ury of the state as increased revc-
nue.. 1t is from this remainder of
the Is percent that his friends
would award him an increase in
remuneration.
The annual collections Of The mo
tor vehicle department. will run
about a half million dollars annual
ly.

right off the bat, 1t won't be Fra

Then hen take time to say radical
,sm's completely gone up, so it won
need any leader.
The old-lincr knows better than
that. The combined radicals and
Democrats oltnumb2red the Re-

lat the extra senate session last
spring. La Toilette and Laid are
gone now but their seats viii be

After hearing substantially this

ned make a pretty formidable radi-

book a mite they want radicalism
to dlsintegratc, for lack Of leader
ahjp--and are trying to pooh-pooh
him out Of consideration
Maybe he wouldn't make a good
radical leader But it seems pre-
mature to say "of course" he
wouldn't.
To Il nonparcisan bystander it
seems az if he might make a fair
stab al the job lie isn't spectacu-

wcll-infornad, experienced in poll
ties, has punch, knows how to make
a Grst-class speech and take care Of

Of bis third term he was recalled

very next year he was elected to

A comeback like that-and so
quick--suggcsts strong man.
Frazier appears to stand toler-
ably well with the radicals, at least
to hte senate, even il they had pre-
viously recalled him from the gov
ernorship--and it's the last vote
that counts.
The Democrats speak respectfully
Of him. 70 be sure, he's none
