Atlanta, May 17.—The House of
the 1U13-14 General Assembly
which convenes here in June, will b«
new in more senses than one. Peo
ple have scarcely figured out how ft
will be. Out of the 183 members of
tho lower branches of the Legisla
ture, there will be only 9 men who
wero in the General Assembly last
year. This will mean 144 new leg
islators, and will entirely change
the complexion of the House.
So far as can be figured in ad
vance, ‘he new body will be tho
most non-partisan that Georgia has
had in many years. Only a few of
the new members have ever beea
actively identified in a fighting senso
with either the Joe Drown or *,<2#
Hoke Smith faction. Nobody can
predict who will be the new lead
ers in the House. Joe Hill Hall,
Hooper Alexander, John Holder,
Randolph Anderson, are gone, and
i* may be that men now entirely f
i | unknown to the state at large will
'ITCH i lake their places. '|gg
It can scarcely be expected that
the early part of the session of tho
House will run very smoothly. Thero
is sure to be small deluge of pro
posed new legislation. This is In
evitable with a new body of men, f
many of them young and ambition*.

Mrs. E. .1. V. Atkinson, wife of the
lute C. C. Atkinson, died at 1:15
ociock yesterday afternoon, at the
family residence on North Madison
street.
The death of this most eailma-
H»le lady, while not unlooked for,
was one which brought much gri
to her many loved ones. For four
years she has been a long and pa
tient sufferer, bearing without com
plaint or murmur tho pain which
was sent upon her, feeling that it
came from One who "doeth .all
things well,” and death, when it
came, was a happy translation to a
land where sickness and sutiering is
no more.
Mrs. Atkinson was sixty-two years
of age and before her marriage was
Miss Vann, daughter of William
K. Vann, and has a number of rela
tives throughout the county 1 . She
as married on March 3)th, 18S2,
to the late C. C. Atkinson and has
made her home in Thomasville ever
since.
Mrs. Atkinson was a devoted mem
ber of the Baptist church, having
joined it In early youth and al
though debarred from attending its
services for a long time, on account
of ill health, her interest In It and
her d-ivotion to the cause of religion
has never wavered.
Mrs. Atkinson is survived by one
son, Mr. Willie K. Atkinson, and
three stop-children, Misses Saliie
Atkinson and Mary Atkinson and
Mr. Henry D. Atkinson.
The funeral services were held at
the residence this afternoon at four
o’clock and were conducted by Rev.
W. M. Harris, of the Baptist church.
The Interment was in Laurel HUT
Cemetery, and the pall-bearers were
Messrs. J. T. Culpepper,
(From Saturday’s Daily.)
Mr. G. W. Philips, of Adel, was
in the city yesterday and brought |
ith him a bloody piece of scant-1
ling which was jammed through the
body of Mr. Charlie McCranie at a !
mill near that city a week' ago. j
The timber fell across a saw and
a part of the scantling was rammed
through the stomach of the young
man who was stall ding at the sido of
the machinery. It waa buried in
the ground.
Mr. Philips sawed off the scantling
while it was in tho mans holy and
• ailed a doctor. It remained stick
ing through him for nearly two
hours before *he Doctor cot there
and was then removed. The young
man is improving and it is now
thought will get well. Tho exper
ience was of course one of the most
awful and tragic things which have
been noted in this section in some
time.
