Ga., and J. P. Wardlaw of Fort Val
ley, Ga.; Trustees of the LaGrange
Female College, located at LaGrange,
Baid county and state, shows as fol
lows:
1. That by an act of the general
assembly of Georgia approved or as
sented to December 19, 1859, (see
published acts of 1860, page 175, No.
182), the trustees therein named were
made a body corporate under the
name and state of the I^iGrange Fe
male College. That prior thereto,
said institution was originally incor
porated by the legislature of Geor
gia under the name of the LaGrange
Female Academy, that later on in
1847 by an act of the general assem
bly of Georgia, approved December,
17, 1847, (see acts of 1847, page 120),
said institution was incorporated un
der the name of the LaGrange Fe
male Institute; that subsequently, to
wit, in 1851 by an act of the general
assembly of Georgia, approved De
cember 26, 1851, (see acts 1851-62,
page 312, No. 195), the name was
changed and said institution was in
corporated under the name of the La
Grange Female College, and subse
quently to that, the new charter was
granted by the general assembly of
Georgia December 19, 1859, as stated
in the first sentence of this para
graph, under the name of LaGrange
Female College. That since that time
said institution has existed and still
exists as a college and an institution
of learning, and has been exercising
the powers conferred upon it under
the several charters granted to it by
the general assembly of Georgia, as
heretofore referred to, being controll
ed and operated by the board of trus
tees elected in pursuance of said char
ter or charters; that petitioners are
now the trustees of said corporation
regularly and duly elected.
2. The purposes of said corporation
are set forth in said several acts of
the general assembly of Georgia, to
which reference is prayed. Petition
ers desire to continue said institution
of learning for the same purposes is
therein set forth under the name of
"LaGrange Female College, and there
fore pray that your petitioners and
their successors be incorporated un
der the name and style of “LaGrange
Female College,” for and during a
period of twenty (20) years, with the
privilege of renewal at the expiration
of said period.
3. Petitioners desire that all of
the powers, privileges, franchises,
grants and immunities heretofore
conferred upon said institution of
learning and its trustees in the said
several acts of the general assembly
of Georgia, heretofore referred to and
mentioned in this petition in para
graph one (1) continue to it and to
petitioners as its trustees and their
successors, and be conferred by this
court in the order which shall be pass
ed. *
4. Petitioners desire that, under
this charter, all trustees of said
college, however elected, shall be con
firmed by the north Georgia confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church south, at the session of said
conference next succeeding the elec
tion of said trustee, and that all trus
tees hereafter elected shall not ex
ercise any of the functions of said of
fice until the confirmation of said elec-
institution, or that may be hereafter
acquired by it. Said board of trus
tees desires the right to borrow and
loan money, giving and receiving
notes, bonds, mortgages, deeds and
other security therefor.
6. Petitioners desire the right to
sue and be sued, to plead and be im
pleaded, to have and use a common
seal, to make all wecessary by-laws
and regulations, and to do all other
things that may be necessary for the
successful conduct of said institu
tion of learning.
Wherefore petitioners pray that
they be made a body corporated un
name and style aforesaid,
with all the rights, powers, and privi
leges hereinbefore set forth, and also
such as are conferred by the laws ol
Georgia upon like corporations, to
gether with all the rights, privileges
and immunities and subject to the
liabilities fixed by law.

Forced to Choose
Between Parents
Atlunta, June 29.—The W. Oscar
Johnson family is trying today to get
used to its new division, made by the
superior court after sensational
charges and counter charges on the
part of Johnson and his wife. Lin-
wood, the 12-year-ord boy, and Louise,
aged 4, had played about the court
room during the trial, and wheil the
case closed the judge called them be
fore him.
“Who would you like to live with,
papa or mamma?” he asked.
“Pm going with my mamma, and
you needn’t tell me to do anything
else for I won’t do it,” returned little
Louise.
“I’ll go with daddy," said Lin wood.
“All right,” said his honor, gravely.
Then he divided seven-year-old Leola
between the parents, ordering her to
visit first one and then the other.
Fight on the Tax
Equilization Bill
Atlanta, June 29.—An unusually
vigorous fight is due in the Georgia
assembly when the attempt to repeal
the tax equalization bill comes to the
floor. Two hills providing for the
repeal are under consideration,one by
Adams of Hall and the other by Sto
vall of Elbert and Menders of Mc
Duffie.
Supporters of the law and friends
of Governor John M. Sluton, who
stand behind it are confident that the
effort against the bill will fail. They
say the ways and means committee of
the house will report against the re
peal for the members are overwhelm
ingly in favor of it; that the house
would vote down a repeal; that the
senate would never concur even if
the house passed it and that finally
the governor would most certainly
veto a repeal and it would be out of
the question to force it over his ve
to. Leaders in the assembly, even
those not politically friendly to Gov
ernor Slaton, did not hesitate to
praise the tax bill and to decry the
attempt at its repeal.

Vital Statistics Law.
Atlanta.—L. D. Hicks has been ap
pointed chairman of the vital statis
tics committee of the Atlanta chamber
of commerce and will at once call his
committee together tor the purpose of
mapping out an agreement campaign
with the Georgia legislature to the
end that a statewide vital statistics
law shall be enacted at the forth cant
tng session. Georgia is now the only
state In the Union which has no such
law. Most other states long ago recog
nised its vital Importance and enucted
the proper legislation. The state now
has no record of births or deaths.

LaGrange, Ga.
Atlanta, June 29.—Wives and
daughters of Georgia farmers along
the power line between Tallulah Falls
and Atlanta are becoming emancipat
ed from the old fashioned kitchen
range, and no longer need they envy
their city sisters and their gas stoves.
Electricity, harnessed to the mighty
Tallulah Falls, is freeing the women
from the slavery of the kitchen oven
as it freed the street car mule.
There are hundreds of homes along
the power line in the small towns
which would make old Aladdin rub his
eyes instead of his lamp if he could
take a look. There are electric stoves
where the touch of a button will broil
a steak; electric lights where the old-
fashioned kerosene lamp once held
sway; electric motors coupled to
washing machines, sewing machines,
evan to the baby’s cradle. On days
like these the perspiring farmer
comes home, not to seek the breeze
which does not come, but to cool his
brow before a whirling electric fan.
The country folk are learning that
all the luxuries do not belong to the
city dweller—and in the use of elec
tricity in the household many of them
trustees and now owned by said are ahead of Atlantans.
