PROCEEDINGS OF THE
WHAT THE LAWMAKERS IN SES
SION IN ATLANTA ARE
DOING.
SUMMARY OF THE WEEK
New Bills Introduced and Passed in
the Senate and in the
House.
—Atlanta.
Atlanta will have a new charter —
one which will give her the most ef
ficient and direct form of government
possible, and yet which will keep al
ways in the hands of the people the
control of affairs. That much was
decided upon when the house commit
tee on municipal governments voted to
recommend favorably the compromise
charter drawn up by representatives
of Fulton county in the legislature,
which charter embodies the essential
features of the commission plan, at
the same time holding to the salient
points of the present form by provid
ing for i legislative body which will
be separate and distinct from the ad
ministrative board.
Georgia suffragists received some
thing of a jar at the hands of the
house of representatives when a re
quest for the use of the big hall at
the capitol for a meeting was not
granted. /
Governor Smith issued an order ap
pointing Gen. William G. Obear adju
tant general of the National Guard of
Georgia. General Obear succeeds to
the office to which Gen. Clement A.
Evans was appointed by Governor
Smith, and which he was prevented
from filling by his death several weeks
ago. In making the appointment, Gov
ernor Smith abolished the office of
quartermaster general, and in its stead
has provided for a chief clerk, at a
salary of $1,500 per year, and as as
sistant clerk at SI,OOO, both salaries
combined being equivalent to the sal
ary which the quartermaster has re
ceived annually. Governor Smith is
sued an order requiring that these two
clerks shall be selected under a civil
service examination, which is to be
conducted by the adjutant general.
The clerks and the stenographer now
in the office of the adjutant general
are not affected by this order.
The labor bill, fixing sixty hours per
week as the limit of working hours in
cotton and woolen mills in Georgia,
introduced in the senate by Senator
W. T. Roberts of the Thirty-sixth dis
trict, passed the senate without a dis
senting vote. No discussion took place
upon its passage. The vote was 29
to 0. Senator Roberts’ bill was rec
ommended as a substitute' for the la
bor bill introduced in the house by
Mr. Tarver, which specifies that ten
hours per diem shall be the maximum
limit of.work, whether workmen de
sire to labor longer or not. The Rob
erts bill, which was passed in the sen
ate, states that the number of work
ing hours a week shall not Be over
sixty, but it allows employees to work
overtime when they desire, and in this
way get Saturday afternoon holidays.
The labor bureau bill passed by the
house was brought before the senate,
but, upon the motion of Senator Shing
ler, it was recommitted.
The subcommittee of the house re
apportionment committee rearranged
the Anderson congressional apportion
ment bill. Several changes were made
in the bill submitted to the full com
mittee a few days ago. The first dis
trict remains as originally provided.
The second takes in Brooks and Clay,
but will not include Worth, Tift and
Turner. The third will include Wil
kinson and not Johnson as first pro
posed. The fourth will retain Musco
gee, Marion and Chattahoochee, in
stead of Clayton and Fayette. The
fifth will be made up of Fulton, De-
Kalb, Clayton and Rockdale. Fay
ette and Upson will be added to the
sixth. The seventh remains as orig
inally proposed. The eighth will re
tain Wilkes, but loses Greene, under
the subcommittee’s change. No change
was made in the ninth. The tenth will
get Greene and Wilkinson and lose
Wilkes. Brooks was thrown out of
the eleventh and Telfair added.. Mus
cogee, Chattahoochee and Marion
were taken out of the proposed
twelfth and Turner, Tift and Worth
were added. It is stated that under
the committee’s arrangement all the
present congressmen will remain in
the districts they are representing.
The senate expended more than an
hour and a half on the question of
whether or not the city court of Cor
dele should be abolished by the leg
islature or the matter left in the
hands of the people. The bill, which
was passed in the house several days
ago, provoked a lively discussion in
the senate, and was finally passed as
amended by the special judiciary com
mittee of the senate. The amendment
provides that the bill shall go before
the pfople before becoming effective,
and was passed by a vote of 21 to 18.
By an almost unanimous vote, the
Bills Passed in the Senate.
By Senator Copeland of the Nine
teenth—A bill to prohibit lobbying
with grand jurors and petit jurors.
By Senator Spence of the Ninth—A
bill to provide that the duty of the
governor is to call out state troops
when he has reasonable cause to be
lieve there will be mob violence.
By Senator Spence of the Ninth —
A bill to authorize sheriffs, judges and
mayors to call out the militia when
mob violence is imminent, in case the
governor cannot be reached.
GfOKGIA LEGISLATURE
house committee on constitutional
amendments approved the bill making
provision for the removal of the state
capitol to Macon. Several members
who voted favorably reserved the right
to oppose the measure on the floor of
the house, taking the ground that the
matter should be permitted to reach
the floor out of courtesy to the Cen
tral City.
Chapter one of the prohibition fight
in the Georgia legislature of 1911 was
concluded after three hours of dramat
ic filibustering, the Tippins anti-near
beer bill gaining a second reading. Er
cepting the special order and tre ap
propriation bill —the czar of the situ
ation —it Is now in Shape to come up
for a third reading and final consider
aitno. This might happen, by some
rare turn of events. It all depends
upon maneuvering. If it does reach a
vote it will be passed by a substan
tial majority in the house; but before
it reaches a vote, the whole prohibi
tion question mull be opened and then
passed on again. The friends of the
bill insist that they will leave noth
ing undone calculated to force the
measure to final passage. They won
once, but more fighting is ahead.
The prohibition fight is on in the
Georgia legislature. It will be the
leading subject for maneuvering, if
not of discussion, during much, if not
all, the remaining portion of • this
year’s session. There was a mild sug
gestion of the pending conflict when
a filibuster prevented the second read
ing of the Tippins bill, relegating near
beer to the positively unlawful. Those
who oppose strict prohibition will now
show their hand by putting forth as
their card a bill sponsored by Joe Hill
Hall, representative from Bibb, legal
izing beer saloons, and providing for
the establishment of "package houses”
under restricted local option. The
fight will center around the follow
ing: The second reading of the Tip
pins bill; the Hall substitute; the
passage of the Tippins bill. The Tip
pins bill was in line for second read
ing. The debate on the woman-lawyer
bill had not proceeded thirty minutes
before it was evident that those pro
longing the discussion didn’t care a
rap whether that measure was recon
sidered or not. They didn’t want the
“second reading of bills’’ notation in
the regular schedule of business to be
reached. It was not reached.
In order that a sufficient mainte
nance fund may be provided for the
additional inmates now in the institu
tion, the appropriations committee of
the house of representatives voted to
recommend an appropriation of $530,-
000 to the state sanitarium at Milledge
ville, an increase of $05,000 over last
year. The appropriation is available
in 1912-13. The committee also voted
for an appropriation of SIIO,OOO to the
state agricultural college at Athens,
an increase of $50,000, which is to be
used for mainteisance and carrying os
tho extension work. The Georgia
School of Technology was voted an
increase of SIO,OOO for maintenance
over the sum of $70,000 appropriated
last year. The state university at
Athens was appropriated $57,500 for
maintenance, an increase of $20,000
over last year. Other appropriations
favorably acted upon by the commit
tee were as follows: Georgia Normal
and Industrial college, $50,000, an in
crease of $7,500. Academy for the
Blind, $30,000, an increase of $7,00u.
o.Nrmal School at Athens, $84,000 for
1912-13. Deaf and Dump academy,
$50,000. Farmers’ Institutes, $2,500
each. Third District Agricultural
school, SO,OOO for a new building.
The Shaw mileage bill passed the
senate by a vote of 40 to 3. The
bill was passed as originally drafted,
including a few slight amendments.
The amendments reduced the size of
towns in which separate windows
must be mainttained for mileage
books and straight tickets from 3,000
to 2,000 population, and gave the rail
roads until December 1, 1911,. to in
stall the windows instead of until 30
days after the passage of the bill. The
bill requires that separate windows
must be maintained, or mileage pulled
on trains, or not more than 2 cents
a mile shall be charged, if the rail
roads refuse to grant mileage.

SAVED
FROM AN
OPERATION
By Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Peoria, 111.—“ I wish to let every one
know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s reme-
Bdies have done for
me. For two years
I suffered. The doc
tors said I had tu
mors, and the only
remedy was the sur
geon’s knife. My
mother bought me

I pound, and today I
am a healthy wo-
U man. For months
! I suffered from in
flammation,and your Sanative Wash re
lieved me. Your Liver Pills have no
equal as a cathartic. Any one wishing
proof of what your medicines have
done for me can get it from any drug
gist or by writing to me. You can use
my testimonial in any way you wish,
and I will be glad to answer letters.”—
Mrs. Christina Keed. 105 Mound St.,

Another Operation Avoided.
New Orleans, La.—“ For years I suf
fered from severe female troubles.
Finally I was confined to my bed and
the doctor said an operation was neces
sary. I gave Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound a trial first, and
was saved from an operation.”—Mrs.
Lily Peyroux, 1111 Kerlerec St., New
Orleans, La.
The great volume of unsolicited tes
timony constantly pouring in proves
conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound is a remarkablo
remedy for those distressing feminine
ills from which so many women suffer.

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK
“My troubles began along In the
summer In the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
Itching and a kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that I could hardly stand It.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
“I tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
In eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and Inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a gVeat relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months’ time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not he without
them.” (Signed) W. A. Armstrong,

Dying by Organ*.
It has been discovered that if a
human being dies after an ordinary
illness and not a violent death be
does not die all over and all at once.
He may have a diseased liver, heart
or lung, and this may be the cause
of his death; but it has been found
that If the diseased organ could have
been replaced by a healthy one life
might have been maintained Indefi
nitely. This is no imagination or
speculation. It has been confirmed
by the most careful experiments by
the ablest medical scientists in the
country.—Leslie’s Weekly.

PREROGATIVE OF HER SEX
Bride Had but Exercised Recognized
Privilege That Is Universally
Granted.
A young couple had been courting
for several years and the young man
seemed to be in no hurry to marry.
Finally, one day, he said:
"Sal, I canna marry thee.”
"How’s that?” asked she.
“I’ve changed my mind,” he said.
“Well, I’ll tell thee what we'll do,”
said she. “If folks know that it’s
thee as has given be up I shanna
be able to get another chap; but If
they think I've given thee up I can
get all I want. So we’ll have banns
published and when the wedding day
comes the parson will say to thee:
‘Wilt thou have this man to he thy
wedded husband?" I shall say: ‘I
winna.’ ”
The day came, and when the minis
ter asked the important question the
man answered: ”1 will.”
Then the parson said to the woman:
"Wilt thou have this man to be thy
wedded husband?” and she said:
“I will.”
“Why,” said the young man fi rious
ly, “you said you would say ‘I win
na.’ ”
“I kno wthat,” said the young
woman, “but I’ve changed my mind
since.” —Mack’s National Monthly.

To Laugh at Tuberculosis.
Much ignorance prevails among the
unfortunate victims of tuberculosis
and families of these unfortunates,
according to the Los Angeles Herald,
For such as these the words spoken
by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled
in imperishable granite. Or, better
still, they should be published in, ev
ery public print, viz: "There is no
such thing as hereditary tuberculosis.
The remedy Is simple and all should
know It. It Is one of the most easily
curable of all the chronic infectious
diseases. You can cure consumption
by the unstinted use of God’s good
fresh air, twenty-four hours In twenty
four, plenty of good food and plenty
of good water, Inside and out. You
all know that cleanliness is next to
godliness. Children should get all
the fresh air possible. They should
sleep and play In the open air. They
should attend open-air schools.”

“But there are other girls whom

“No, I don’t think there Is a more
beautiful girl in the world than you.”
“There are other girls you think
are just as beautiful, though.”
“You are more beautiful than any
other girl I ever saw\”
“I suppose there are plenty of
girls whom you consider almost as
beautiful as I am.”
“I think you are far more beauti
ful than any other girl that ever
breathed.”
“Well, why didn’t you say that In

“That was what I meant, if I didn’t
