TWELVE PACES.
A WORKING LEGISLATURE?
What sort of a Lcgialaturo will It
be that assembled to Atlanta yester-
day, a working Legislature or a time
treating Legislature? Will the com
mittees be appointed without un
necessary delay, and will each and
every member do bis best to dh
patch business promptly or will the
appointment of committees be held
back for tea days or two weeks, and
will members take every opportunity
to vtSit their homes and give their
attention to their private affairs?
These are questions which are In
the minds of the people and to which
they expect an answer very sooa.
Besides the appropriation bills
some very important measures
will bo Introduced for consideration.
If the members take hold of the
work entrusted to them vigorously
and with a determination to accomp
lish a reasonable amount of It each
legislative day, all.of the Important
bills will be disposed of a consider-
able time before the end of the ses
sion. It la mistake to let the really
Important legislation drag along un-
til the last few days. It Is impos
sible then to give such legislation
the consideration It ought to have.
lit Is because so much of It Is fin
ished In a hurry that It Is defective
and dosen’fs Stand tho test In the
courts. And there Is no good reason
for committees to Hold on to the ap
propriation bills until there is talk
of adjournment. If the committees
having Jurisdiction of these bills
were to take them up promptly and
give close attention to them they
would be ready to be .reported to
the House and Senate by the time
the session was half over. With I continue to laugh with those
TO THE READERS OF THE TIMES
I am not going to write a valedic
tory. and I am not «olng to say
good-bye. I do not like either one
very much. In taking leave of Val
dosta and the Valdosta Times to ac
cept a position In the executive de
partment in Atlanta, it mlght.be
proper for me to say that I leave
Valdosta with a great deal of reluc
tance. I am not lured away In
search of honor or poaltlon. I have
felt for two or three years that the
dally grind In newspaper work, for
ao long a time, waa beginning to tell
on my physical condition. I have
felt that a change of employment. If
not a change of climate, would do
me a great deal of good, and I have
also felt that, new blood on The
Times could probably accomplish
more for the good of Valdosta and
the people than I could hope to un
der the circumstances. ,
I want to say that I do not know
of a higher honor than to be the
editor of the only dally paper In the
busiest city of the most progressive
section of the empire state of the
south, and to stand in the shoes of
my distinguished predecessor of The
Times. Whatever success has come
to The Times during the time that
have been Its editor, was due to
the fact that The Times was estab
lished years and years ago, along
certain lines and policies, and It
has been the carrying out of those
liollcles, that has brought whatever
success I may get even a measure
of credit for.
The severing of my connection
with The Times, If It should bo per
manent, is only an Incident In its
history. ' Other hands will take up
the work and the paper will con.
tinue to be the mirror of the dally
lives of the people of this section.
It will continue to tell of their Joys,
their triumphs and their sorrowe. It
will continue to encourage, foster
and predict everything that la good
for this city and section. It will
