LEGISLATIVE.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1887.
Thu liouso of representatives hus
been hard at work sineo my last let
ter, especially lmvo the com in it tees
been busily engaged in passing upon
hills brought before them for consul
j oration. The hill to luvy a property
1 tax of one-tenth of one percent, for
! public school purposes met with a fav
orable recommendation mid strong ef
forts will lie made by the “earnest
! thinkers" iu the legislature to have it
liccoine a law. If this hill docs be
come a law the county of Newton
will have to pay an additional tax for
school purposes to the amount of 82,-
164, aud get in return from the gen
eral school fund the sum of $3,034.
Now, the question arises, are tiie peo
ple ot Newton county in a condition
to pay this amount for this especial
purpose at this particular time, even
if she does get $860.00 over ami
above the gum paid it? I think not,
and in thus thinkingshull vote ngainst
the measure when it is placed upon
its passage. The amount which would
be raised for the entire state, under
this Ihw, would lie over $300,000, and
the public school term would run four
months in the year, instead ot three,
as now. It requires about 8200,000
per month to run the public schools
of Georgia. Is the game worth the
ainuuiliin? Let the people answer,
for it is a question upon which many
good and able men and women differ,
and which the writer does not feel
disposed to discuss at length.
Governor Gordon has decided to go
to the very bottom of the convict
lease system and put a stop to the
cruel and inhuman treatment of cer
tain whipping bosses to be found in
some of the camps. He held a high
court in the supreme court room Fri- |
day last and bad some of the lesses to i
appear before him to show cause why
their lease should not be annulled pn
account of gross violations of a con
tract with the state. The Attorney
General assisted the Governor in the
investigation. It was decided to post
pone further, hearing for seven days
in order to give the lessees time to
prepare and present their defence.
To-morrow, Wednesday 7th, a
judge of the supreme court will be
elected to fill the unexpired term of
the late Justice Samuel Hall. There
are several candidates in the field and
in order to do none of them an injus
tice I will not advance an opinion as
to who will win the high and honora
ble prize.
The registration law for Newton
county has at last passed the senate
with a few unimportant amendments,
which became necessary on account
of clerical errors, and when the house
concurs iu those amendments the bill
will go to the Governor for his signa
ture and then become a law. This
law, however, will not necessitate a
registration of voters for the present
year, but will become operative in all
the elections next year, and annually
thereafter, unless some “milk and ci
der” man is elected to the legislature
who will, from some imaginary policy
stioke, make an eff>rt to repeal it.—-
It is a strong paper and for honest
men a sound document, just such a
law as every county in the state
should have. So long as this law is
in force voters must pay their honest
taxes, or else they will not vote as
“early and as often” as they did in
the days when liidependeutism and
Radicalism had full and absolute sway
in this section.
The hill to allow the voters of Cov
ington to establish public schools by a
two-thirds vote is in the senate and
will soon become a law, and when it
does an election will be ordered to
come off on the third Saturday in No
vember next. H.

Free Trade. —The reduction of
internal revenue stamps from Propri
etary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefitted the consumers, as well as
relieving the burden of home manu
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green’s August Flower and
Boschee’s German Syrup, as the re
duction of thirty-six cents per dozen,
has been added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medi
cine in the 75 cent size. The August
Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have per
haps, the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of in
creased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles
or 10 cents remain the same size.—2.
It gives us pleasure to bear willing
testimony to the enterprise, wortli
and ability of the Atlanta Constitu
tion, for no matter what transpires on
this earth, in the shape of news, this
great newspaper secures it and spreads
it before its thousands of readers with
out any delay, regardless of any in
convenience or cost. For the past
sixty days the legislative proceedings
in the Constitution have been the full
est, most accurate aud most readable
of any paper ever published in Geor
gia, and the people of the state, who
have been kept so well posted on pub
lic matters during this period, are in
debted to Mr. W. G. Whidby for the
house reports, and Mr. H. 11. Pliinizy
for the senate proceedings. These
able reporters are universally popular
with both branches of the General
Assembly, and deservedly so, for they
are ever ready to extend journalistic
courtesies and see that each and ev
ery member shall get full credit for
any work done. If yon are not a sub
scriber to the Constitution send for it
at once. B. P\ Camp, of Covington,
