THE ATLAXTA GEORGIAN. MONPAT. Jt'T.T tt. \VC MANY HALF-COOKED BILLS IN THE LEGISLATIVE POT Great Mass of General Measures Need to Pass Either the House or the Senate. With the session of the general u itmbly half over, exactly last Saturday, a great mas* of general bills yet re- mains on the house and senate calen jars for action. Few of the Important general mess urea have passed both branches and gone to the governor for his approval or disapproval, as the case may be. The Connor bill, appropriating $100,• oon tor an agricultural college, has passed both houses, and Saturday re ceived the signature of the chief exe cutlve. Several Importaift Measures have passed one or the other branch of the law-making body, but yet have to run the gauntlet the balance of the way. The Hall bill, providing for a state auditor of accounts, has passed the house and senate, but has not yet re ceived the governor's approval. It Is understood that thlrty-flve applicants have filed notice with the chief execu tive of willingness to accept the place. Important senate measures that have passed and are now up to the house Includes Wheatley's lieutenant govor nor bill; Miller’s bill to elect county of- fleers for four-year terms: Alsobrook’s bill to protect game and birds, and which practically posts every foot of ground In Georgia: Walker’s blow at ■■tigers" In dry counties In a bill making It a misdemeanor for any one to pur chase whisky for another without hold ing a license. Besides the senate has passed n large number of local and semi-local bills. House Very Industrious. The house has been very Industrious, and besides passing a multitude of lO' cal measures, has put through "some strong general measures, which are yet to have the senate’s attention. The child labor bill Is yet to be acted on In the senate. The house passed the senate measure, Introduced with the signatures of twenty-three members, without any change, other than nam ing It the Bell bill. The upper house has not tnken very kindly to that sort of thing, but the measure. It Is be lieved, will pass all right. Senators Peyton and Burr, It Is understood, do not like the measure, and may make some kind of a fight to get In pet amendments. These two senators In troduced the first child labor bill of the SOLI FROM SKY ENDSJIVE LIVES Grand Stand Struck by Lightning Just Before Sunday Game.

Fight on Assessor Bill, The house has passed the Hall bill for a state board of tax assessors, and when It reached the senate Murphy Candler offered a substitute, providing for both state and county boards of assessors. Opposition has sprung un In the senate to the substitute, and there Is some doubt whether It will pass. A peculiar fact Is that even those qpposlng It frankly admit that It Is a good bHl, but that they .must light It tor reasons. It will probably be de elded this week. The house has passed the anti-lob bying bill: the Blackburn police patrol tor country districts, and the Boykin antl-bucketshop and Porter cigarette bills were tabled at the end of last week. Both will probably come up dt Ing the present week for final action. A number ot important measures yet remain tor action In both houses. Nota ble among this class Is the bill for a circuit court of appeals for the relief of the supreme court of Georgia In order to get this relief at once. It must pass before the end of this month In order that It may be duly advertised thirty days before election. No meas ure for this session Is of more vital In terest to the state than this, and If some action Is not taken It will be a matter of neglect and Indifference that Is Inexcusable. Anti-Pass Bill Burlad7 The pure food blit, the anti-pass bill and a number of others are yet to be considered. Which brings forward the enlightening fact that If the house ad heres to Its policy ot sticking to the calendar that It Is very, very doubtful If the anti-pass bill la reached before adjournment, since It went to the heel of the calendar and a few hundred oth er bills Interpose between It and day light. Which might lead to the Infer ence that the law-makers are not In a hurry to kill out their free transporta tion. Altogether the Anal twenty-live days of the session promise to be very busy ones, with double-decked sessions nearly every day. FOR THE GRAND Many Attractions of the Highest Type Are Scheduled.

COMING DOWN THE STRETCH, POLITICIANS SEE DARK HORSE IN THE GUBERNATORIAL STABLES Wise Guys State That If Governor Isn’t Nomi nated on the First Ballot Attorney Gen eral John C. Hart Will Get Prize. In one month, lees one day, the gu bernatorlal campaign In Georgia will Come to a close, marking the end of one of the most memorable contests in many years. From now until the evening August 21 It Is going to be hot going, and from Tybce to the Tennessee line gubernatorial guns will boom and re verberate. In" charges and counter charges. ' With the primary Just one month away the friends of Hoke Smith are claiming a practically clean sweep of the state. They say they will go Into the Macon convention with 220 dele gates (at a conservative estimate) out of 878—a majority of 81. It will take 188 to cinch the nomination. On the other hand, the opponents of the former secretary of the Interior say that he will not have enough delegates to elect him on the first ballot—which Is the same as saying that he will be defeated, for even Smith’s friends real ise that he must have enough to get the plum on the first. Unquestionably the Rome debate re newed the hope and courage of the Howell followers. It took the sting out of the Atlanta affair, and braced up the weak-kneed brethren wonderfully and set north Georgia to humming with actlvityt It had Its moral effect all over the state.. A Remarkable Campaign. It has been and Is In many ways a remarkable campaign. For years It hod been understood that Mr. Howell would be governor, and It seemed prac tically smooth sailing until Clark How ell committed the tactical blunder of daring Hoke Smith to enter the race. They were ancient political enemies, and to encompass the defeat and hu miliation of each other was a cherished nd object. challenge thus flung In Bmjth'a face was accepted and over a year ago Smith fired the opening shot In his Madison speech, In which, It Is charged, he made his famous “divine call" pro- nunclamento. "I hope way down In my heart that every man now In the race will have the '28' sign hung on him down In Ms- con next September, and that they will put John Hart In the governor's chair. I'm sick, son, of this whole damn business, and I want the whole hunch relegated to the salt river route. And If you've a mind to nose about Georgia a bit you’ll find a good many other thousands ot Georgians who feel Just as I do." COLLEGE FACULTIES. The average man of today le more careful than formerly ae to the kind of teaehera that he entrust! his chil dren to. He demands not only that they shall be persons of character and education, but alee that they shall have adequate professional equipment, and that they shall be acquainted with the civilisation and literature of other countries besides their own. These de mands are fully met by the faculty In residence at Shorter College. All the teachers have been specially prepared for their work, and many of them have traveled and studied In the different countries of Europe. If you send your girl to Shorter College, she will be thrown with teachers who know the world, and who take a keen and Intel llgent Interest In the great personal Itloa and the great movements of our generation. This will mean a great deal to your (laughter. A catalogue of Shorter College will be sent you If you write the president at Rome, eGorgla. APPEAL TO GOVERNOR FOR COMMUTATION Cullman Citizens Endeavor to Prevent Execution in Home County. And no man ever waged a hotter or B *JJi*** *° more thorough campaign In the South than he has. He has spoken In very nearly every county In Oeorgla, and In some of them two, throe and four times. If he Is elected It will be a striking cuso of the man and the opportunity meet Ing. He Is wise enough to seise on the unrest of the times, and has pitched his campaign along the line that It Is the people's fight and not hls own. Every where there Is discontent with the ex isting order of things, and the cry Is for change. The tide has borne to ob livion many a cherished political ma chine and Its chieftain, will the; same thing happen In Georgia? Clark Howell opened hls campaign officially In the Jotnt debate at Colum bus on January 10. Since then he has been very active. He has made over hundred speeches, and covered a good Art of the state. Four Joint debates ..avc been held between Howell and Smith—-Columbus, Atlanta, Rome and Albany. Only one—Romo—has helped Howell. He played a losing hand In the others. Dick Russell gave up a Judgeship when he went Into the race for gover nor. When he had cast aside the Judi cial ermine he threw himself Into the nrena In deadly earnest. He has made a brave fight. For staying qualities and capacity to bear the killing work of n bruising campaign, he has the rest of tho field beaten to a standstill. As to Russsll's Chances. And hls friends will tel! you deadly earnest that when the ballots are counted out there will be a huge surprise fur those who have elected to scoff at the man from Jackson. It Is admitted by astute politicians that Judge Russell will go Into the conven tion with the next largest delegation under his banner. And they go fur ther and say that If Hoke Smith Isn't there with the necessary number, Dick Russell will be able to dictate who Is to be the nominee. Colonel Estlll claims forty countlea It may be that the commentators here are too far away to get the right focuq, buafew believe that the Savannah man will carry half that number. Colonel Jim Smith hasn't spread out over the state In hls campaigning, but hns centered hls activities to the sec- I tlon of country In which he lives. He - will carry a few counties only. It Is I generally admitted. Will It Be a Dark Horss? Which brings It down to the point that If Hoke Smith doesn’t go into the convention with enough to cinch the Job, then will any man now In the race be able to swing enough to pull In the prise? Many folk will tell yod •'no" with emphasis on the first two letters. Then the dark horse idea looms potential. And the name of one man Is always heard first when this talk comes Up john C. Hart, attorney-general of Georgia. John Hart Is blg-bodled, fcj"- bralned and lpiendtdly poised. He pos sesses dignity. Judgment, brains, per fect health, and Is tied to no faction. Au old*politician put It thus; Birmingham, Ala, July 28.—A dele gation of north Alabama cltlsens, car rying a petition signed by 8,000 cltl sens of Cullman county, left for Mont gomery, Ala., this morning, where they will appear before Governor Jellts to seek a commutation for John Williams, of Cullman county, convicted of killing Btate Senator R. L. Hlpp, and under sentence to hang next Friday. Williams killed State Senator R. L. Hlpp, of Cullman county, nearly two years ago, while Mr. Hlpp was attempt Ing to serve an ouster notice upon the old man which would have compelled him to move hls family out of doors. There has never been a hanging In Cullman county. Among the signatures are those of nine of the members of the Jury that convicted him. BURN PEACH TREES TO KILL INFECTION By Private Leased Wire.

Hastily summoning a deputy, Sheriff Miller at once swrted across the Blue Ridge with the prisoner. When seen In the Luray Jell lost evening Young denied the charge, and said It was the outgrowth of strong prejudice against him and hls family In the Flint Hill neighborhood. He said that the Welch girl was hls flrat cousin, and, though having often been In company with her, hls actions were always proper. There Is a very strong feeling In Rappahannock against Young.
