Rents have advanced until they will pay a reasonable interest on the investment of renting proper ty and if our citizens who have surplus money and who also have vacant lots would build more houses ,they would not only help themselves, but would benefit others who are not able to own their own homes.

A large number of im portant measures has been intro duced, some of them of almost a revolutionary character. These in clude bills on Woman’s Suffrage, Capitol Removal, a Budget System of fixing the financial needs of the Stake’s institutions and for oper atino of the State Departments, the new Tax Bill, Rural High- Schools. and numerous others mat ters. Among the measures introduced in the house was a bill by Judge G. A. Johns, our representative, making it a felony punishable by a sentence in the penitentiary for any one to haul or assist in any way in hauling whiskey or brandy present law makes it a misdemea nor for any one to haul any amount and that law remains in effect on an amount of one gallon or less and the new law proposed by Judge Johns is designed to in flict a straight sentence on those who haul whiskey, in such an amount as to invicate an intention to sell or to furnish for sale. This is a needed measure to stop the practice of hauling now indulged in by those who do not mind pay ing a fine, but who will shy at a sentence to the chaingang. Another measure introduced by our representative was to make it a misdemeanor for any one to be guilty of eaves dropping. A case of this kind occurred in Winder recently and it was found that the law did not furnish a remedy and this bill is to cure that lapse in the law. HIGH LAND AND GOING HIGHEB. Mr. and Mrs. W. .J.
