which is tho feature attraction at

Friday. Florence Vidor and Monte

“Main Street,” in the novel form
by Sinclair Lewis, was tho most
widely discussed book ev
linked In Amerfra, not excepting
even "Uncle Tom> Cabin;” It dealt
with the life of the small town
and aroused more comment pro r.r^
con than anything of ;ts kin 1.
It is a long time since
screen hns seen anything like tho
ensemble of actors assembled In
“Main Street”—a distinguished
vast that gives dash and life to
the action. Think of theso players
all being In one picture; Florence
Vidor, Monte Blue, Har/T’Myers.

The story Is familiar to many:
Carol Kennlcott, her revolt against
what she finds In Gopher PtalrlO. a
Main Street town, her attempts to
make it fit with the ideals she has
acquired from hooka nhd college,
her fight. The pleturo should be
seen by everyone, for Main Street
Is a little world, and the world Is
composed of nothing hut . Main
Streets.
Praise Is dtie the able direction
by Harry eanmont, and to'jiillen
Joseph son, who wrote the scenario
"Main Street" Is a great picture.

JUere's a Reason
The deficit apnrapriat’on
cighty-onc thousand dollars for
the nurses home at the State
Sanitorium at Millcdgevillc went
over to the next session nt the
request of Representative Ennis,
who said the money was not avail
able this year.
The final passage of a measure
requiring Confedreatf Veterans to
be given half fare on the railroads
of the state and also one creating
a bureau to aid the World War
Veterans in securing government
allotments, was effected.
This measure provdies for a di
rector to be paid twenty-four hun
dred dollars annually and thirty-
six hundred for the maintenance
of the office.
A bill to create a Forestry
Board failed to pass the House by
the required constitutional ma
jority.
Requests for an Investigation of
two stat© departments—the depart
ment of agriculture and the high
way department—occupied a largo
portion of the 1923 session.
The blgbwny department Investl
Ration was held and resulted In
charges brought by Representative
MeMlchacl, of iMarion, that tho di
vision was guilty of mismanage
ment, inefficiency and wasterful of
public funds not being sustained.
Mr. McMIchael, the only member
of the legislative investigating
committee not agreeing to the tna
Jority report, filed n minority
statement in support of his allegt
tlons against the department.
SECOND
INQUIRY
Tho - Inquiry this years Is the
second held within three sessions
6f the legislature as a result of
charges brought by Mr. McMIchael.
Tho Investigation two years ago
also resulted In an exoneration of
tho. highwny department. \
Stewart began his fight against
tho agricultural department early
In the session.
Prohibition appeared a« one of
the principal subjects before the
assembly for the first time in the
past fey years, but front the be
ginning It was renllzrtd by Dr.
Craig Arnold, of Lumpkin, that his
measure to repeal the state dry
laws, thereby placing'pnforccment
of the Volstead act In Georgia en
tirely upon tho federal government
would not lie passed. The bill Was
reported unfavorably by tho house
temperance committee, hut In
speaking to a point of personal
privilege Mr.'Arnold, who said he
had never tasted whiskey. In his
life, assailed the present enforce
ment of the prohibition laws.
The senate adopted a resolution
condemning the Arnold measure,
although the house committee re
turned an adverse report and the
spoken sentiment of the houte
)nembers was against the-hill, a %
resolution expressing confidence In j
the Integrity of Dr. Arnold and ex
pressing appreciation of hts sin
cerity was adopted.
BR VAN
speaks
Bills designed to reform_ U»
state’s prison system were Intro
duced in the house by Perrymah,
of Talbot’. Sutllvd, of Chatham, and
Covington, of Colquitt, and In tho
senate by Pace, of the thirteenth.
The measures did not reach the
calendar, but Mr. Perryman served
notice that they would be brought
up again next year.
Bennett, of Dodge, was unsuc
cessful with his bill to restore tho
lash In Georgia prisons. Ho charged
that prisoners were being tor-
tued In different camps in tho
state since whipping had been
abolished early this year by Gov
ernor Hardwick. The prison com
mission denied his allegations attjl
took the position that tt did not
wish tho lash restored. The bill J
failed to get committee approval.
The Ku KJux Klnn figured In
measures Introduced in tho house
and seriate. The measures were de
signed, to .cause all secret orders
tokjegister a list cf members with
clerks of superior courts of coun
ties in which they operate and to
make the wearing of masks In pub
lic unlawful. The house pudiciary
committee approved the bill, hut
the senate committee rendered an
adverse report on a similar meas
ure.
Two new- judicial circuits, the
Pledmon and Griffin, were created
by the assoffthly. The proposed
Bleckley circuit was defeated In
the house.
