TERMINAL DEAI - OFF
State Cannot Buy Land in Chat.
tanooga for W. & A. R. R.
Attorney General Hart Rules That
Treasury Funds Can Be Used Only
For School Purposes.
~ Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia will not pur
chase the 87 acres near Chattanooga
for the Western and Atlantic termi.
nals at this time, at any rate.
Under a decision rendered by Attor
ney General Hart at the request of
Governor Brown, it is held that the
morey now in the state treasury can
not be used for this purpose, becausc
this money was raised by a special tax
levy tor the support ot the cemmo:
schools,
Therefore, unless the options on the
Chattanooga property can be extend
ed until the state has the money for
this purpose, the deal will be off and
the chance to acquire the land will
have passed. Governor Brown had
doubts about the matter, and direct
ed a communication to the attorney
general, He stated specifically that
he was anxious to comply with the
request of the legislature in its reso
lution if it could be done now, Gov
ernor Brown says:
“The legislature of 1907-08 appro
priated $2,500,000 for the commoi
schools of the state for the year 1909,
The state is short nearly $2,000,000 in
meeting this appropriation. Under this
statement of tact, would I be author
ized to draw my warrant and would
the treasurer have the authority to
pay this $69,000 for the purchase of
this vacant land which we may. pos
sibly need for railroad purposes ten
yvears hence?”
After stating the facts in the case,
Attorney General Hart decided as fol
lows:
“The money now remaining in the
treasury ($160,000) was raised by a
special tax levy and for the support of
the common schools of the state. The
teachers of the state have performead
the service upon the faith of that
promise that it would be paid them for
their services. The teachers have ex
ecuted their part of this contract and
the state now owes them the money
which it had pledged would be paid
them. For a subsequent legislature to
divert the money and apply it to a dii
ferent purpose from that which it was
raised by taxation and pledged by
the state, amounts substantially to
the impairment of a contract, which
is forbidden, both by the constitution
of this state and the United States.
In view of these conditions, there is
at present no money in the treasury
which could legally be used for the
purchase of the land in question.”
Under this ruling it would appear
that the state can not use the funds
now on hand for any purpose other
than that of the common schools, and
this means a serious money situation
in carrying on the necessary work
of”"the land in question.”
Under this ruling it would appear

A MURRAY COUNTY PHENOMENON.
8. Treadwell’s Face Weaves ltself In.
to Marble That Covers His Tomb.
Spring Place, Ga.—Slowly, as if
painted by the hand of time itself,
and as surely, the stern, rugged line
aments of Smith Treadwell’s features
are being worked in the solid mar
ble that covers the tomb where for
years he has slept beneath the soil
of Murray ccunty,
In the massive rectangle of Geor
gia marble—the world-famed *“cre
ole,” of black and white—now appear
with a distinctness that grows more
striking with each passing year, the
strong, high and bearded features
of the Murray county pioneer,
It is not the stain of weather, It
is not the corrosion of time, To all
appearances, it ig the gradual shifting
of the fadeless black crystals that
streak the eternal marble,
The shifting has formed a face.
The face is that of Smith Treadweli.
The gradual appearance of the face
has been noticed for the past five
years, :

TORRENT FROZE IN NIGHT.
The phenomenon was one tnat 1
have never before experienced—a run
ning river frozen solid in a night.
When we arrived the waters of this
stream, tumbling over the great bow!d
ers and rushing through the tortuous
channels, made a deafening roar.
Gradually, but almost imperceptibly,
the tumult decreased, while, wern
out after a hard day, we fell asleep.
A few hours later, when 'we
awoke, a deathly silence prevailed,
and on looking out, to my intense
surprise, I found that the rushing tor
rent of the previous night had ‘been
transformed into 2 solid mass of ice.
In this region of extreme tempera
tures I had on other occasions seen
torrents frozen, but never under such
startling conditions. On looking
round we found that everything we
possessed was also frozen solid, in
cluding our saddle of mutton, which
was merely a block of ice. We were
ravenous, but we got no satisfaction
from gnawing at lumps, of rock
wkich ought to have been a succulent
joint, and, so, despite our hunger, we
had to content ourselves with a lit
tle tea—to make which we melted
fce—and a few biscuits.—J. Claule
White, in Wide World.
If roses have thorns, man’'s hand
in rough enough to heed not these,
but the marvelous loveliness of the
flower.
SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.
It is a serious question sometimes
to know just what to eat when a per
son’s stomach is out of order, apd
most foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at
any time with the certainty that it
will digest. Actual experience of peo
ple is valuable to any one interested
in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: “I
‘had suffered with indigestion for
about four years, ever since at attack
of typhoid fever, and at times could
eat nothing but the very lightest food
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish I never had tco’
eat anything.
“l was urged to try Grape-Nuts,
and since using it I do not have to
starve myself any more, but I can eat
it at any time and feel nourished and
satisfied: dyspepsia is a thing of the
past, and I am now strong and well.
“My husband also had an exper
jence with Grape-Nuts. He was very
weak and sickly in the spring. Could
not attend to his work. He was put
under the doctor’s care, but medicine
did not seem to do him any good un
til he began to leave off ordinary food
and use Grape-Nuts. It was positive
ly surprising to see the change in
him. He grew better right off, and
naturally he has none but words of
praise for Grape-Nuts,
“Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it.
I am satisfied that it is because of the
great nourishing elements in Grape-
Nuts.”
“There’s a Reason,” ,
It contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley, which com
bines with albumen to make the gray
matter to daily refill the brain and
nerve centres.
It is a pity that pecple do not know
what to feed their children. Thereare
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food, and
when they become!'sick begin to pour
the medicine dowr them. The real
way is to stick to proper foo® and be
healthy and get along without medi
cine and expense.
