Hines, at torney for th» railroad commission, on tbe grounds that the call Issued by tbe governor did not Incorporate such legislation, but that the extra session was called for a specific purpose and therefore no Other legislation passed j at this session, other than that which was incorporated in the call, would be legal and those convicted of vio lating this law will bo granted a new trial. This point Is well taken and if the courts recognize It. there may be sev eral new trials for those who have been convicted under its operation. However, if there Is a technicality in the measure, then the first legisla tion passed by the incoming legisla ture should be to amend and make strong a stringent measure which will enable the prosecuting and judicial officers to enforce such law to the fullest. There can be no greater danger to the traveling public than the maniac or drunkard driving an automobile! emblem of France, while under the Intluenco of Intoxl-! 10.—Downing street, eating beverages.

Recent Improvements and new in vent Ions will soon replace the tele phone operator by automatic system of connecting telephones. The tele phone system has been so Improved by mechanical devices the subscriber will be enabled to make his or her connection without the aid of an oper ator in the main office. The invention win save for the tele phone companies millions of dollars in operating expenses and the new aystem will save for the user of tele phones much time and annoyance In getting central and other irregulari ties which are liablo to occur In the conduct of operating the delicate ap paratus, as is required in the use of the telephone. An automntlc system has been de vised by which connections can bn made by the subscriber In all local exchanges and the only need for oper ators, so It is stated, <s for toll or long distance service. New York Is now installing the new System and many other larger cities of the country are engaged In pre paring for the. Installation of the mechanical Bystem and soon this ays tem will be used In every exchange In the country. It Is said that within the next five years the “Hello Girl" will have passed out from the Impor tant position she now occupies In the commercial world of this country and .the services she Is now render ing will be carried on by the sub scriber. -WtRI The change In systems will bo of more than ordinary Interest and one Which Is remarkabio in the develop ment of such service by mechanical devices. The largo army of young ladles throughout the nation who now greet the subscribers with a pleasant answer will have to seek other em ployment for a livelihood. But we may expect such improvements in the telephone service, as much as in travel end traffic. A few years ago the elec tric car was unknown, the automo- Mle was unknown, the aeroplane was unknown, hut now we have the use of the electric car, electric lights and power, the automobile and the aero plane. All of which have grown to be necessities and not luxuries. The name may be expected In the tele phone Industry. This is an age of progress, development and inven tions—an age of advancement.

It's good to find one thing that hasn't changed a bit—Piedmont Cigarettes. The same fine native tobacco, tbe same lively., appetizing flavor, the same mellow fragrance that has kept men smoking Piedmonts, and nothing else, for so many years—it’s all there. Hasn't changed a bit. After all, there's nothing like “down* home tobacco” for cigarettes. NOTICE The Georgia State Board of Em balming meets Tuesday.
