MANY HALF-COOKED BILLS IN THE LEGISLATIVE POT Great Mass of General Measures Need to Pass Either the House or the Senate. With the eeailon of the general as lemhly half over, exactly last Saturday, ( (reat man of general bills yet re mains on the house and senate, eaten- tars for action. few of the Important general meaa ores have paued both branches and tone to the governor tor his approval or disapproval, as the case may be. The Connor bill, appropriating 8100,- 000 for an agricultural college, has passed both houses, and Saturday re celved the signature of the chief exe cutive. Several Important measures have passed one or the other branch ot the law-making body, but yet hove 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 reived the governor's approval. It Is understood that thlrty-nve applicants nave 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 gover nor bill; Miller's bill to elect county of ficers for four-year terms; Alsobrook’s hill to protect game and birds, and which practically posts every foot of (round 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 a 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 Itrong 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 ot 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 light to get In pet amendments. These two senators In troduced the first child labor bill of the IT mil SKY . HDSJUIS Grand Stand Struck by Lightning Just Before Sunday Game. By Private Leased Wire.

Since the senate majority Is openly commit ted to the bill by signature. It Is hsrilly possible that any funny business will be attempted. , Fight on Assessor Bill. The house haa passed the Hall bill for a state board ot tax assessors, and when It reached the senate Murphy Candler offered a substitute, providing for both state and county hoards ot assessors. Opposition has sprung un In the senate to the substitute, and there Is some doubt whether It will pass. A peculiar fact la that even those opposing It frankly admit that It la a good bill, but that they must fight It for reasons. It will probably be de cided this week. The house haa passed the antl-lob- bylng bill; the Blackburn police patrol for country districts, and the Boykin antl-bucketshop and Porter cigarette Bills were tabled at the end of last week. Both will probably come up dur ing the present week for final action. A number of Important measures yet remain for action In both houses. Nota ble among this class la 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 sekslon Is of more vital In terest to the state than this, and If aome action Is not token It will be a matter of neglect and Indifference that Is Inexcusable. Anti-Pais Bill BurledT The pure food bill, the anti-pass bill and a number of others are yet to be considered. Which brings forward tha enlightening fact that If the house ad heres to Its policy of sticking to the calendar that it Is very, very .doubtful It the anti-pass bill Is reached before adjournment, since It went to the heel of the calendar and a tew 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 tlon. Altogether the final twenty-five 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.

While In Atlanta Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Green secured several views ot the more prominent places, which they will carry along with them as souvenirs of a very pleasant etay In the Metropolis of the South. 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, less one day, the gu bernatorial campaign In Oeorgta will come to a close, marking the end of one of the most memorable contests In many years. From now until the evening of August 21 It Is going to bs hot going, and from Tybee to the Tennessee Idle gubernatorial guns will boom and re verberate In chargee and counter chargee. With the primary Just one month away the friends of Hoke Smith are claiming a practically clean awaep of the state, jhey say thay will go Into ths Macon convention with 220 dele gates (at a conservative estimate) out of 878—a majority of 11. It will take 189 to cinch the nomination. On the other hand, the opponents of the former secretary of the Interior any that he will not have enough delegates to elect him on the first ballot—which 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 ths Howell followers It took the sting out ot ths Atlanta affair, 'and braced up the weak-kneed brethren wonderfully and set north Georgia td humming with activity. It had Its moral effect I over the state. A Remarkable Campaign. It has been and la In many ways a remarkable campaign. For yean It had been understood that Mr. Howell would be governor, and It seemed prac tically smooth sailing until Clark How- committed tha tactical blunder of daring Hoke Smith to enter the race. They were ancient political enemies, to encompass the defeat and hu miliation of each other waa a cherished hope and objaot. Ths chsUsnge thus flung In Smith's face waa accepted and over a year ago Smith fired the opening shot In his Madison speech, In which. It Is charged, he made hla famous “divine call" pro- “"an ever waged .hotter or “I hope way down In my heart that every man now In tha race will have the '21' sign hung on him down In Ma 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 ths whole bunch relegated to the salt river route. And It you've a mind to nose about Georgia a bit you'll find a good many other thousands of Georgians who feel Just as I do." COLLEGE FACULTIES. The average man of today ts more careful than formerly as to the kind of teachers that he entrusts his chil dren to. Ho domands not only that they shall be persons of character and education, but also 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.

He has spoken In very nearly every county In Georgia, and In nice of them two/three and four times. If he Is elected It will be a striking case of ths man and the opportunity meet- fie Is wise enough to seise on the unrest of the times, and haa pitched hie campaign along the line that It Is the people's fight and not hla own. Every where there Is discontent with the ex isting order of things, and the cry It for change. The tide hat boms to ob livion many a cherished political ma chine and Its chieftain. WBI tha same thing happen In Georgia? Clark Howell opened hla campaign officially In the Joint debate at Colum bus on January 10. Since then he has been very active. He haa mad# over a hundred speeches, and covered a good part of the state. Four Joint debates ■ave been held between Howell and Smith—Columbus, Atlanta, Rome and Albany. Only one—Rome—haa 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 east aside the Judi cial ermine he threw himself Into the arena In deadly earnest. He haa made a brave fight. For staying qualities and capacity to bear the killing work of a bruising campaign, ha has the rest of the field beaten to a standstill. As to Russell’s Chances. And his fritnds will Mil you In deadly earnest that when the ballots are counted out there will be a huge surprise for those who have elected to scoff at the man from Jackson. It la admitted by astute politicians that Judge Russell will go Into the conven tion with the next largest delegation under hie banner. And they ga fur ther and say that If Hoka Smith Isn't them with the necessary number, Dick Russell will be able*to dictate who la to be the nominee. Colonel Estlll claims forty counties. It may be that tha commentators here are too far away to get the right focus, but few believe that the Savannah man will carry half that number. Colonel Jim Smith hasn’t spread out over the state In his campaigning, but haa centered his activities to ths sec tion of country In which ha lives. He will carry a faw counties only, It Is generally admitted. Will It Be a Dark Horse? Which brings It down to tha point that II Hoka Smith doesn't go Into ths convention with enough to cinch the job, then will any man now In the race he able to swing enough to pull In the Pr jSany folk will tell you “no" with emphasis on the first two letters.
