CARTERSVILLE, GA„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 111, 11101.
WORK OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
Very Few Bills of General Impor
tance Passed-
A FLOOD OF LOCAL BILLS-
Atlanta Gats a Five Hundred Thoi -
sanS Dollar Dspot—Fertilizer
bl.l 10 Help Farmers.
The general assembly which ad
journed last Friday night by limi
tation, did not pass tnoie than !it
tcen or twenty general bills, and
very few oi' special importance.
Among the first measures in in
terest whicii went through the leg
islature there is the Howell reso
lution providing for the payment of
the interest on the bonded debt for
1902 out of the public property the
Atlanta depot bill, the fertilizer bill
and the appropriation bills.
The constitutionality of the
Howell resolution will have to
be passed upon by the supreme
court before it ea<. become elec
tive. Judge Candler lias alreuuy
decided favorably upon it, and it is
now in the supreme court. This
bill and the depot bill have already
been signed by the governor.
The fertilizer bill by Mr. Jordan,
of Jasper, is considered one of tht
most important measures to the
farming intereststhat went thiongh
the legislature. This measure
raises the standard of tertilizers to
be sold in the state so that no fer
tilizers can be sold hereafter with
less than 12 per cent of free phos
phoric acici or plant food. The
percentage under the present law
is 10 per cent. The bill does away
with the lowest grade of fertilizers,
and provides for only two grades
in the future, standard and high.
It also makes pro isifcm for the
more careful inspection of fertiliz
ers and the manner in which they
shall be sold.
The important appropriation
bills winch went through mclmle
the Soldiers’ home bill appropriat
ing the $19,500 insurance money
for the rebuilding of the home and
$15,000 for maintenance and equip
ment next year; the bill appropria
ting $20,000 for the support of the
state militia during the
coming year; the resolution
appropriating $62,500 to
make up the deficiency in the
amount to be paid for indigent
soldier’ pensions; the resolution ap
propriating SII,OOO to makeup a
deficiency in the printing fund, and
the resolution appropriating $2,000
to supply the deficiency in the con
tigent fund and $5,780 to supply
the deficiency in last year’s pension
fund.
The house and senate passed be
tween 200 and 300 local bills of all
kinds, many of which have already
been signed by the governor and
the communities affected are now
acting under them.
New Grocery Store.
Mr. Martin Collins has recently
opened a grocery store in the cor
ner building, Spier’s old stand,
where he intends to keep up a
good assortment of staple and fancy
groceries, such as is demanded by
the trade of this section.
Air. Collins is well known to the
people of Cartersville and Bartow
county, and the line he has opened
is by no means new to him. He
invites his fiiends and the public
generally to call and see him, and
b>- honest dealing and fair treat
ment hopes to deserve a share of
their patronage.
