Mysterious Negro Visited Cantrell
Boys.
A mysterious negro, clad from
head to foot in white, visited the
Cantrell boys last week, they allege,
and asked them for a complete
record of their case, and people
where they had formerly lived,
who might give him some informa
tion as to the boys' character and
habits.
The boys allege that the negro
told them that he was a friend to
them and would do all he could to
help them.
After staying and talking to them
for something like an hour the negro
disappeared and they have heard
no more of him.
The boys don't know who the ne
gro was, or anything about him,
but he stated that he had been sent
on a mission of helping them.

ASSEMBLY PASSES
IMPORTANT BILL
House Passes McCrory School Bill Book
and Creates New County of
Candler.
WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE LOST
House Committee Votes Against It.
Senate Turns Down Eugenic
Marriage Bill.
—Atlanta.
This has been a busy week for the
Georgia lawmakers. During the past
few days there has been a number of
important bills passed by the general
assembly, while others went down in
defeat. Notable among the bills pass
ed by the house were the amendment
to the McCrory school book bill and
the bill creating the new county of
Candler, while in the senate the Hixon
eugenic marriage bill was lost by a
viva voce vote. After a strenuous
fight in which the antis and the sup
porters of the woman’s suffrage bill
clashed numberless times, the house
committee on constitutional amend
ments voted adversely on the propos
ed bill.
Attack on Tax Law Fails.
The efforts of the opponents of the
tax equalization act which was pass
ed by the general assembly last year
to erase this new law from the stat
utes of the state by a repeal bill,
were fruitless. When the committee
on ways and means of the house took
the proposed repeal bill under consid
eration they voted unanimously against
it and should the bill be placed on
the calendar of the house, the report
of the committee must be disregarded
and the bill placed on the second
reading by a vote of the members
of the house.
Honors “Old Blue-Back” Speller.
The old “Blue-Back Spelling Book”
again came into its own when the
senate adopted a resolution requiring
the use of the “Blue-Back Speller”
in the common schools of the state.
This resolution received hearty sup
port by the older senators.
School Book Bill Passes.
There was perhaps no other bill to
come before the house during this ses
sion which has created such intense
interest as the amendment to the
original McCrory school book bill. The
original bill as introduced before the
assembly last year and which was re
ferred to a committee for considera
tion, provided that the state publish
five text books for the public schools
of the sta-te. This met with such
strenuous opposition that its author,
Senator McCrory, prepared an amend
ment which he introduced this session.
The amendment provides that the
state experiment with two text books
by leasing the plates of text books
now being used in the public schools
of the state.
New County of Candler.
Candler county is the second new
county to be created during this ses
sion of the general assembly and the
workers for this new county express
ed themselves as being very much
gratified over their success. Metter
is to be the county 'seat and the new
county is to consist of portions of the
counties of Tattnall, Emanuel and Bul
loch.
Eugenic Marriage Bill Lost.
The Hixon eugenic marriage bill
which failed to pass in the senate this
session, was introduced last year by
Senator Hixon, acting upon the request
of Dr. B. L. Embrey of Villa Rica.
The bill prohibits any marriage in
Georgia without previous physical and
mental examination of the contracting
parties, evidenced by a physician’s
certificate that they were sound in
body and mind.
Longer Terms for Officers.
The senate has passed a bill in
creasing the term of all county officers,
sheriffs, court clerks, tax receivers,
etc., from two years to four years.
The bill was introduced by Senator W.
M. Olliff of the Fourth district.
It will require a constitutional
amendment which must be ratified by
the people of the counties at an elec
tion before it will become a law.
Lieutenant Governor for Georgia.
In the house, Representative Myrick
of Chatham county, created consider
able interest when he introduced a
bill giving to Georgia a lieutenant-gov
ernor. In introducing this bill Repre
sentative Myrick called the attention
of the members that Georgia is one
of the few states that does not have
a lieutenant governor and expressed
a belief that it is a very necessary of
fice. To support his contentions, Mr.
Myrick pointed out the possibility of
the death of the governor or his res
ignation or disability to serve. In any
of these events he said it would be
necessary to call a special election
which would involve an enormous ex
penditure upon the state.
Woman’s Suffrage Bill Defeated.
From the moment that the woman’s
suffrage bill made its appearance dur-
Bill Effecting Candidates.
Atlanta. —Considerable comment has
been caused in the senate by a most
unusual bill introduced by Senator M.
C. Tarver of the Forty-third district
to regulate campaign expenses of can
didates for the United States senate,
for governor and other state house
offices. This bill, which applies to
the expenses incurred at primary elec
tions, provides that no expenses of a
candidate, incurred by himself or by
others for him, shall exceed 15 per
cent, of one year's salary of the of
fice for 'which he is running.
ing this session, both the opponents
and the supporters of the measure be
came extremely active and it was ap
parent from the start that there were
lively times ahead for the members
of the house when this bill would be
taken under consideration. One day
last week the members invited a prom
inent woman suff rage worker to speak
to the house in support of this meas
ure and several days later granted
permission to the Woman’s Suffrage
association to use the hall the latter
part of this month when the associa
tion will meet in convention. These
acts on the part of the house served
to encourage the supporters of the
woman suffrage bill and they express
ed themselves as being greatly sur
prised at its defeat.
When the vote was taken on the
measure, members of the house com
mittee voted a tie, but when the bal
lot of Mr. Myrick of Chatham, who
is chairman of the commitee, was cast,
the bill was defeated.
There were about two hundred la
dies present, some of whom were for
and others against the bill and about
sixty men, mostly citizens of Atlanta.
Mrs. Mary L. McLendon, president of
the Georgia Woman Suffrage associa
tion, conducted the campaign in fa
vor of the bill. After speaking in its
favor Mrs. McLendon introduced oth
er speakers who urged a favorable re
port on the suffrage bill.
Message From President Wilson.
A pleasing feature of the day’s ses
sion in the house was the receipt of
a letter from President Woodrow Wil
son, thanking the house for their en
dorsement of his administration.
A resolution was passed by the
house, giving the Georgia Woman’s
Suffrage Association permission to use
the hall on July 21 and 22, when the
state convention meets in Atlanta.
Nash-Obear Controversy.
The Nash-Obear controversy again
made its appearance in the senate
when Senator Grant Perry introduced
a bill authorizing the Governor to fix
the rank of the quartermaster general
of the state. The rank at present is
that of brigadier general. This reso
lution of Senator Perry’s follows that
introduced last week by Senator Mil
ler, which would abolish the office of
Quarter Master General of the state.
The authors of these bills are seeking
to straighten out the controversy be
tween Adjutant General Nash and
Brigadier General Obear.
Rally To Highway Bill.
Friends of good roads in Georgia are
rallying to the movement for the pas
sage at this session of the legislature
of a. statue creating a highway com
mission for Georgia. Members of the
legislature who championed this work
and were discouraged recently by the
tabling of a bill which would have com
pleted it, are gathering renewed ener
gy for acheivment.
For several years the legislature
has been called upon to consider this
matter of a state highway commission.
It has been called upon anew at each
succeeding session to choose between
patch work road building well di
rected in a few counties and utterly
without proper supervision in a num
ber of others, and intelligent road
building, and each time it has chosen
the patch work system that was put in
effect when the convict lease laws
were changed.
Child Labor Bill.
Much interest is being manifested
in the child labor bill which will come
before the house this week. A joint
meeting of labor people and the advo
cates of woman’s suffrage was held
on the steps of the capitol building
last Friday night, when the woman’s
suffrage enthusiasts heartily endorsed
the child labor bill, while the labor
people ill turn expressed themselves
as highly in favor of the enfranchise
ment of women.
Liquor Bills This Week.
An issue which will not down and
which insists in making itself very
much in evidence during this session is
the liquor question. There are at
present a number of proposed bills
before the assembly which have been
referred to the temperance committee
of the house. One is a bill prohibiting
the sale in Georgia of any beverage
containing more than one-half of one
per cent, alcohol, another would abol
ish the locker clubs, while one bill
would require local clubs to dispose
of liquor only for genuine lockers. A
bill which stirred quite a fight in the
house was one which would make ef
fective in Georgia the national law
which prohibits the shipment of any
liquor into “dry” states, while the bill
which has startled the serenity of the
house is one that would permit the ;
manufacture and sale of pure bill. I
Barrow County Created.
So far as the legislature is concern
ed the state of Georgia now has a
new county, for the senate has pass
ed the bill by a handsome majority
creating the county of Barrow with
Winder as the county seat. However,
House Tables Highway Bill.
That the bill providing for the cre
ation of a state highway commission
submitted to the house by Represen
tive R. B. Blackburn of Fulton does
not meet with the favor of the house,
and is in danger of being defeated, is
forecasted by the action taken
Would Abolish Obear’s Job.
Atlanta. —A bill bearing on the dis- !
ferences between Adjutant General J. i
Van Holt Nash and Quartermaster I
General William G. Obear, which were
aired in the newspapers at consider
able length seme months ago. was
introduced in the senate by Senator B.
S. Miller of the Twenty-fourth dis
trict. This bill put poses to repeal
that section of the military jaws which
created the office of quartermaster
general with the rank of brigadier
•eneral.
