Atlanta Journal. ; ; I have been noting with interest the acta and doings of the Georgia. Legisla ture at the days of th4 session are drawing to a close. They have really had np but two bills in which there is common interest to the people of Georgia: ' Cjne la tbe ap propriation bill, the other the tax bill. The tax bill seems to cover everything on top of the earth and under the earth Their franchise clause in the tax bitf is one of the most important with which they have had to do. If they will only be wise in their discriminations- be tween occupation tax and franchise tax, There ia a difference that makes the odds, and there are the odds that makes the' different. If Georgia is taxing values, then it is only just that all values should be taxed. It requires wisdom, justice and patience to reach right concluflions and. do the right thing towards everybody and every thing. The can tax some things out of the State. - They can run the business interests put of the State by unjust taxation. But whatever is Just, let it be done-though the heavens fall and everything leaves the State except the poor farmer, who cannot leave because he is too poor to go. There is -much being said about lob bying. Everybody thinks lobbying is going on with the legislature. Of course,; what everybody thinks is not altogether a lie. Corporations can em ploy counsel. 1 Monied interests can af ford to employ lobbyists. : But the average poor devil in this country is not able on the one hand to employ counsel or lobbyists, nor it he wise enough on the other hand to form a combination with his class to employ lobbyists and counsel in bis behalf. The only way that anything can be well taken care of is by employing first-class brains look after it whether it is in business of legislative matters. ; - . There are some things which ought to beTtaxed to tha Hmltl)Ccau8o they tax the patience and the pocket books ol the masses. Whiskey ought to be loaded down to the guards, and a legis lator who would be lobbied with in the interest of liquor is not fit to hang on the back door of perdition. . He would not ornament the devil's back yard. I suppose ooca-cola had. counsel lob bying in its behalf, for what is a thous and dollars on the manufacture of coca colaf That may not be the profits of a single day made by its promoters. What is 12.60 per annum tax on slot machine T They ought to be taxed out of existence, and if they cannot be taxed out they ought to be kicked out. : ' u ; ..- And a tax of $10.00 a week on these dirty, driveling, indecent street fair shows V That ought to have been put at a thousand dollars for each painted, half-nude woman, and more or less on every other dirty thing that is shown up in these street fairs. ' And so it goes.' 4 ' But when legislation is proposed along . certain lines that touch certain corporate interests in Georgia, it is said that paid counsel and lobbyists turn up on the scene. I am utterly opposed to lobbying unless all interests go into the business. It ia unfair and unjust for one interest to have its lobbyists, and another interest unprotected and un- championed by either counsel or lob byist. The farmer and he is the man who gives us the staff of life whether crops are short or long, whether he must Mortgage his land or deliver his last bflT-J votton, and sometimes his buahel of , ;rx in order to pay. his taxes, be must pay them all the same, and never in the history of this State were taxes so hard to pay as they are in this December month, 1902. Hard first because they are so high; hard secondly, , because the farmer has so t tie with which to pay. That is what makes me say, a Just estimate upon all lacs is the only juot way to settle this iole question; and while corporate in cf's miiy su.Ter, tbey only get ia the ! i -1 lie (! )wa with the masses Jin Geor-ia as they suf'or.

I tee the committee on the cow shed has reported. . I am not one of the committee who made the investigation; nor am I the leeee of the W. and A. railroad, but there is more than one question involved in the remodeling of that depot.' First: Ia there a' new union sUtion to be built in Atlanta? If to, when will it be built, and will it be occupied by all the railroads running into Atlanta? If these questions are answered in the affirmative, and satis factorily answered, then it would be the heighth of foolishness to make the lessees of the Western and Atlantic railroad put that old depot in first-clans repair. It would be a waste of money without bringing returns either to the state or the lessees. I know Major Thomas to be a man of tense; a man of Judgement, and, above all, a man of fairUealing. He is not a man that you have to tend the sheriff after or put the governor on to, but he it a man who will do right everywhere and every when. Perchance,, it the chair man of the committee on investigation of the "cow shed" had not blocked the wheels two years ago there might Tbave' been a magnificent union station now standing in place of the old one, and the state's property protected. But I will say without sheriff or governor to enforce the stipulations of the con tract, that so toon as that new depot matter ia settled, forthwith , will ?'t. Thomas proceed to meet the state's authorities on a proposition to either vacate the old depot, or if he is to use it, will put it in first-class repair. ' . '. We all know that patience, has ben exhaused long ago in reference to the state of things involved in the problem of a new depot for Atlanta. It is one thing for railroads to improve their own property; it is another thing for tenants to improve the property of a landlord. But with patience stretched out a little longer Atlanta will have a magnificent depot in which all the trains will run, ofahe will have two depots; one a mag nificent, and the other repaired so it will be habitable and comfortable. am one citizen who wants to see the depot problem settled and there are a million others in George like me, per haps.;'. - '.'"..'': "-'".VC:""-' .': r . Let the Georgia legislature cut down its appropriations about 1250,000, stand by its present tax bill, adjourn and go home sober, and I will be satisfied. Yours truly, Sam P. Jokes P. 8. Has any of thd official family of The Journal resigned ?

" 8. P. J. CireaaaaUtntlal Erlaleace. It is a rule to which good lawyers usually adhere, never to tell more than one knows. A newspaper tells a funny story of a lawyer who carried the rule to the extreme. " ; One of the agents in a midland Re vision Court in England objected to person whose name was on the register, on the ground that he was dead. The revising barrister declined to accept the assurance, however, and demanded conclusive testimony on the point. The agent of the other side rose and gave corroborative evidence as to the decease of the gentleman in question. "But sir, how do you know the man's dead ?" demanded the barrister. 'Well," was the reply, "I don't know. It's very diffioult to prove." "As I suspected," returned the bar rister. "You don't know whether he's dead or not." . ' The barrister glanced triumphantly round the court, but his countenance gradually underwent a change as the witness coolly continued: I was saying, sir, that I don't know whether he is dead or not, but I do know this : They buried him about a month aso on su-picion."

It til in- c . 1 t: 1 1 or At a recent Farmers' Convention, the 8tate Engineer of New York delivered A sensible and timely . address. The following extract from it could be read with profit in our own State by every advocate for the improvement of our publio roads : It ia a query if the use of the electric trolley and a perfected system of ma cadam roads throughout our state which will permit of hauling the largest of loads from the farm to the market on any day of the year, whether the season be wet or dry, these roads fur nishing the opportunity for rural free mau delivery, will almost, if not quite, revolutionize the agricultural portion of our state. With these conditions brought about the mechanic can live several miles from the manufactory and have a farm consisting of 5, 10 or more acres upon which his family will be raised, they having the benefits of the mail twice a day, the daily news paper, and the advantages of quick and cheap transportation to the village or city, either by electric' car, bicycle or automobile, as the case may be; thus relieving the congested districts that are now occupied by tenement houses in the larger cities, bringing our farms to higher state of cultivation and schooling the farmers' children, both the boys and the girls, for a higher rsphere in life than they have been able to attain heretofore with the farms iso lated by reason of bad roads. I do not think that I am stating it too strongly when I express the belief that the in fluences exerted by these means for the future development of our state are greater than any that have been brought to bear from the nation's birth to the present time. . ' . ' The improvement of the highways of our country is the greatest problem the people have to solve in connection with the whole system of transportation We are appropriating millions of money for building canals , and railroads, yet 95 per cent, of all the material that passes over our canals and railroads must in the first instance pass over. primary roads, namely, the highways, In connections with our canals we are doing an immense work; we are still appropriating money and making them efficient; our railroad corporations , are expending hugh fortunes in reducing grades and making their roads straight and smooth; steamboat companies are expending great tumt in enlarging the capacity of their thips and increasing their speed. What does alt of this avail if we, who are to be the most ben efitted, do not undertake some sensible system on a business basis for building and maintaining, in a wise manner, the common roads of the country? When this has been done, and when that good time comes (and it is as sure to come as tomorrow's sun is to rise), then will our boys be willing to stay on the farm and our daughters be willing to become farmer's wives; the isolation of farm life will then have passed away, and instead of our boys and girls leav ing the farm to go into the crowded cities more will be willing to go from cities to the farms; then we will have free mail delivery and the telephone, and we will be the happy and contented people that the Almighty lintended we should be , when he gave us this nch and beautiful heritage. The word "gentleman" is as often misapplied as the term "Christian gentleman." There are various types of "gentlemen" but one cf the latest is that of the fellow Bishop, who killed the man Wilson in Charlotte Tuesday night. Bishop was drinking and car ousing in vvuson s nouse witnout tne latter's consent, and when Wilson ordered him out Bishop proudly pro claimed himself "a gentleman" and insisted on being "treated as such." The treatment not being to his liking he shot and killed Wilson. This is the type of "gentleman" (save the mark!) that should dangle at a rope's end. Statesville Landmark.

Youth's Companion. "What would you do if you had a million dollars ?" ia a common ques tion. Many people like to amuse them selves by answering it, and the answers are as varied aa human nature. The prize offered by a newspaper for the best reply was awarded to the man who said he would have a pair of suspenders for ever- -pair of trousers he owned The desire for persoaal comfort, more luxuries, wider opportunities for pleas ure, is almost always uppermost in the minds of those who thus spend their imaginary wealth. Seldom or never ia one heard to express the wish to em ploy himself at anything of the nature of a regular business or occupation. In reality, no man knows what he would do, if he were possessed of riches, and that fact ought to make one char itableat all events Just toward those who are indeed millionaires. The follies of young men of wealth get all the pubheity they deserve. It is often another matter with the industry, the energy, the faithful performance of duty by those who are matching excep tional opportunities with exceptional efforts. The Bussian prince who lately visited this country expressed, on his return to Europe, his 'surprise at the large number of rich young men here who work, actually work ever day, in offices, banks or factories. And' yet no one showed him the improvements which Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt has made in locomotive, or the steam-turbine which Mr. John Jacob Astor has invented, or Mr. Peter Cooper Hewitt's lamp. He had not even a glimpse of the amount of work Mr. George Gould does in day, or the multitudinous details of the charities to which Miss Helen Gould gives her time and her personal service, as well as her money. What would you do if you had i million dollars? The man who criti cizes "the idle rich" should first be sure that it is not alone the lack of money which keeps himself out of the category-. Trouaera and Pasua. ' Ex-President Gates, of Amherst Col lege, is said to have a fondness for bar gain hunting that is almost feminine. As illustrative of this the New York Times prints the following incident: "It is told that on a certain occasion Mr. Gates bought fof 13 a pair - of trousers that had been marked at 16 and had them charged. The first of the month a bill came in: To one pr. pants, 13.' Mr. Gates crossed off the 'pants' and substituted 'trousers,' then remail- ed the bill. The first of the next month another bill came in: " 'To bne pr. pants, $3.' "This time the till was returned, as before, but with the following legend: Dear Mr. Thompson, I am always careful about the language I use, and like other people to be the same.' The first of the third month Mr. Gates re ceived a hill: " 'To one pr. pants, $3.' ' "This time he went in person to visit Mr. Thompson. ' He explained his position to him. Thompson looked at him a moment, and then replied: " 'President Gates, I've been in the clothing business for 25 years. An' during them 25 years everything in my shop above 15 has been trousers and everything below (5 has been pants. It's pants you got, egad, sir; it's pants you'll pay for.'.' Facing the ftlaalc. New Yorker. The stereotyped sugared, reports of fashionable marriages pall. One hails with delight the Missouri up-to-date style of doing such notices. They run this way; Married Miss Sylvia Rhodes , to James Caruahan, last Saturday after noon. The bride is an ordinary town girl, who doesn't know any more than a rabbit about cooking and never help ed her poor mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty,-by any means, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well known here as an up-to-date loafer, has been living off the old folks all his life, and don't amount to anything nohow. ; "They will have a hard life while they live together, and the News hast ens to extend absolutely no congratu- atious f r we don't belive any good can come from such a union." huJnc'3 a:"iet9 a'.nx t every y-njpjr ma a who f, ends any If! ;.;U of ttire ia LEADING HOTELS.
