The veded woman withdrew from

LEE COUNTY CLERK
WINS IN HIGH COURT
CANNOT BE REMOV FOR
ALLEGED MISCONDUCT AS
CITY COURT CLERK.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The clerk of SUI
perior court i'll Georgia cannot be re-
moved from that office because of al
legged misconduct in his eX-officio
capacity as clerk OF city court, the
Georgia supreme court held Friday
in answering questions certified by
the Georgia court of appeals.
The case involved g. A. Wallace,
clerk Of the superior court OF Lee

the judge OF the superior court because
of his alleged failure to give bond as
clerk OF the city court of Leesburg,
and following allegations that certain
funds had not been accounted Tor
properly in the transaction OF city

The conduct Of the defendant as
clerk OF the city court OF Leesburg
(although he happens to be the same
individual as the clerk OF the superior

immaterial in proceedings to remove
him as clerk of the superior court OF

WAGES IN 1924 WERE
HIGHEST IN HISTORY
FOR EVERY $50 RECEIVED IN
1907 THERE WAS PAID $228
DURING PAST YEAR.

Wages throughout the United States
last year averaged higher than in any
year OF the past. OF course other
things also were higher. SO that the
higher wages did not go quite SO far
as the same wages would have done
some years previously, but good
wages, even when living costs are up,
mean a measure of prosperity
For every 800 received as pay in
1907, on the rate-an-hour basis, 1928
was paid in 1924. This rise has made
possible the greatly increased stand

uses several times as many commodi-

EFFECT OF SERVICE
ON SENATOR'S MINDS
LAME DUCKS MOST LIKELY
TO VOTE THEIR CONVIC-
TIONS. IT IS DECLARED.

WASHINGTON, D. Cone OF
the really popular members o. the
senate, who has served there a long
time. has an interesting theory about
senators. He Classics them according
to their pulses-six-year, tour-year
and two-year pulses-depending upon
the length of time they have to serve
before coming UP for reelection.
Senators with six-year pulses can
he depended upon to vote their con-
victions. The four year-pulse senators
very frequently do so, but the two
vear-pulse senators vote with an eye
single to reelection and their convlc-
tons invariably conform to political
expediency
On one occasion a friend went over
to this senator just after he had cast
a vote for a bill in which he did not
in the least believe.
"Say, ," he said, what's the
matter with you? You know you don't
want this bill to pass"
"Of course | don't" was the reply,
but you see | have an l8months
pulse"
Illustration of Senatorial Pulse.
No better illustration of this sena-
torial pulse theory has been given in
a long while than the vote on the
presidential postal pay veto. With no
desire to detract from the sincerity Of
a few senator's who voted as obey be-
lieved, it is certainly true most OF
those who tried to override the veto
are genuinely relieved that they fail
ed. Further, an examination OF the
record will disclose the great bulk OF
the l8-month-pulse senators is includ-
ed in the IS who voted for the in
crease. Equally conhrmatory OF the
pulse theory is the fact that all five
of the lame duck" senators voted
with the president and against the in
crease.
A lame duck" is in a better posi-
ton to vote his convictions with COM
plete independence than even a newly
elected senator with six full years
stretching ahead. Nothing can hurt
him. His pulse is without a flicker. 1t
is a significant fact that not a single
lame duck got out OF line, and the
day really was saved by the president
bv the vote OF one OF the few demo-
cratic senator's defeated in November.
Could there be a more Illuminating
ballot?

STATE INCOME TAX
OPPOSED BY SLATON
FORMER GOVERNOR CALLS
ATTENTION TO FAILURE
OF OREGON'S TAX LAW.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Former Govern
or John NJ. Slaton is strongly opos-
ed to state income tax, which has
been talked for Georgia.
AT a time when movement is
started to impose upon the people OF
Georgia a duplication OF federal tax
burdens, in addition to advaloren and
license taxes already borne, little conf
ment is made upon the experience OF
states where the plan has been tried,
the former governor said in state
ment made public here.
He calls attention to the fact that
the Oregon legislature passed con-
servative income tax law in 1923, and
it was adopted in a referendum cleo
ton. After a years trial it was repeal
ed by a referendum vote. when it was
demonstrated that the effect OF remoV-
al Of industries, curtailment OF CAPT
tai, suspension of plans for expansion
and other things had damaged the
state in development Sal 100000. This
was one years loss.
In Georgia, as former Governor
Slaton shows, an amendment to the
would be necessary to inn
pose the income tax or repeal it, which
would be more difficult than mere
referendum vote. The "Old Man OF
the Sea-" he says, would be on the
backs OF the people which they could
not get rid OF.
with all the tumult in Washington
over the income tax-with the election
OF Mr.. Coolidge, effectuated largely
through the impression of the people
that he was trying to lessen the bur-
dens of the federal income tax-will
the people~of Georgia knowingly put
their necks within the noose?" asks
the former governor
Mr.. Slaton said that to aid the eco
nomic welfare of the American peo-
pie the government is reducing the
annual Indebtedness one billion dol
lars a year and the states and their
subdivisions are increasing their in
debtedness one billion dollars year.

all the past and follow the fundamen-
tai principles that lead to prosperity =

BLOODWORTH AND
JONES RESENTENCED
FEB. 18TH NEW DATE FOR Elk
ECUTION. ANOTHER MOVE
TO STAY HANGING.

BUTLER, Ga.-Willie Jones and
Gervis Bloodworth were sentenced to
hang on February 18th in court ses-
sion held here Saturday. Judge W. f.
H. Searcy pronounced the sentence in
place of the Judge of this circuit, who
was disqualified.
Jones and Bloodworth were to have
hanged on January 9th, but the execu-
ton was halted by court order from
Judge Searcy on the grounds that ar
rangements for the execution did not
insure privacy.
This injunction was dissolved Sat
urday night by Judge Searcy when
attorneys for the doomed men volun-
tarily recited to the court that proper
arrangements had been made and the
defects in the gallows remedied so as
to conform to the law Thus there re-
NAMED nothing but the fixing Of a
new date for the execution.
Another Last Minute Effort.
That another last minute effort to
save the lives of the condemned men
may be made by their attorneys was
indicated when they raised vigorous
objection to nXlng OF new udte Oh
the grounds that the action should
have been taken at regular or call
ed term OF the Taylor superior court
and that Judge Frank Mclaughlin, OF
the Chattahoochee circuit, who is dis
qualified in this case, was without au-
thority to sign the order setting a spe-
cial session of court for Saturday to
set a new date for the double hanging.
Judge Searcy overruled the defense
objections, but the insistence with
which the points we're stressed by
counsel and the care taken to have
them regularly recorded was taken TO
mean that further steps will be taken
to delay the execution by throwing
the case back into the courts on tech
nical grounds.

A FINE RECORD IS MADE
BY THE CENTRAL RAILROAD
go Per Cent of Passenger Trains on
Time; Only One Person Killed.

Ninety-eight per cent of the passen-
ger trains of the Central of Georgia
railway were on time in 1924, accord
ing to a statement issued today by
President L. A. Downs During the
year the Central of Georgia operated
81, 200 passenger trains, of which &c.,
500 maintained schedule
In discussing this topic President
Downs states his recognition of the
fact that the public has a right to ex-
pect satisfactory service and the on
time operation of trains is factor in
such service. He lists as other factors
safety, modern equipment, smooth
road bed and courteous employees.
Referring to safety he cites the rec
ord of the Central of Georgia which
has handled in the past years 81
100000 passengers with but one fatal
ity and that was an individual who
fell from a platform on which he was
standing and was killed.
Fast freight service is also a feature
of the Centrars operation. In 1924 the
road handled $500 through or mani
fest freight trains, of which 5,033. or
93.2 per cent were on time. Mr.. Downs
says that it is the purpose of the Cen
trail of Georgia to develop the highest
degree IN organization, equipment and
facilities for satisfactory service.
