' J JACKSON FURNITURE COMPANY Blue and Gray Forget Their Rancor Gettysbcrg, Pa., June 30. —Over the field of Gettysburg where the blue and the gray fought 50 years ago the (soldiers of peace from the nortn and south, the east and west, trooped today to the tented city of brown where they will live in the four days of semi-centennial cele bration. It was an army united in senti ment and unite<l in fact, for the blue linked arms with the gray. They marched the dus*y road to gether from the village; they sat ■dmvn at the same mess tables and they talked over the war tonight. If there was any rancor in any heart, and feeling of bitterness, it did not conic to the surface and over the broad expanse of the city’ reunions of former foes went on hour after hour. Senate Caucus Split’ Over Income Tax One Difference is Over Proposal to Exempt Married Men For More Than Single Mem-Num ber of Dependent Children Causes Muddle. Washington, I). D., June 30. — Democrats of the senate ran against a snag late today when they took up the report of the committee on the income tax section of the tariff bill, and at adjournment to night no progress bad been made and no one would predict when the appar ent differences would end. The caucus took up the income tax re port paragraph by paragraph and when the exemption clause was reached, everybody wanted to talk at once. Some Senators argued against the committee amendment reducii g the general exemption from SI,OOO to S 3 000 with SI,OOO additional for married men or women with de pendents and SSOO each for depend ent children. This opened the way for countless suggestions. Lively Discussion In Senate Caucus Washington, D. C., June 30. Lively discussions developed today in the senate caucus over the rate on manufactures of wool. The low tariff champions urged that manu factured woolen goods for general use should go to the freelist. Woolen cloth dutiable in the bill at twenty per cent ad valorem, stock ings at twenty per cent and press cloth fifteen per cent were among those items which some senators declared shoud enter free duty to aid in reducing the cost of living. . • ®l )t Cocljrtm SottntaL Flood of Bills Are Introduced Governor Slaton Promises To Ktep In Close Touch With Assembly And To Lend All Proper Aid Atlanta, Ga., June 30. —Gover- nor Slaton has given notice of his intention of keeping in close touch with the assembly during its delib erations, and of offering every pro per aid in the work of revising the stall's financial system. Among the important new’ meas ures introduced are the child labor hill of Senator Randolph Anderson, and tin' general labor measure, ii - chiding child labor, by Senator Kea. The Anderson hill is said to have met with the approval of the textile manufactures. The Kea measure is modeled along the lines of recom mendations made by Labor Com missioner Stanley. The first measure actually passed by the house was the hill providing for the ratification of the election of Senator Bacon, and setting July 15th, for the formal election by the people. The reins of government were actually turned over to Governor John M. Slaton, when the oath of oflice was administered by Chief .Justice W. 11. Fish, in the pres ence of both blanches of the assent biy, meeting jointiy in the hull of representatives. Child labor, compulsory educa tion and the payment of teachers’ salaries are three specific things that will* he the subject of much argument early in the session. Senator Anderson’s bill provides that the child labor law shall he put into operation gradually. It provides that after 1913, no child under 12 years of age shall he em ployed in a factory: after 1914, no child under 13 years of age and after 1915, no child under 14 years of age. A bill carrying similar age pro visions has been introduced by Representative Sheppard in the house Senator Kea’s hill is directed not only against child labor, hut pro poses to reform factory conditions generally and take better care of women workers. The only compulsory education hill that has thus far been intro duced, is that of Representative Fullbright, of Burke county. It requires all children under 14 years of age to attend scliool at least 00 days in the year. - It is about as mild a form of compulsory educa tion as could he devised. Various measures relating to the paying of public school teachers have been put before the assembly. The one thing on which there seems COCHRAN, BLECKLEY COUNTY GEORGIA. THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1913 Youngest Member Has Weightiest Measure •——• ■ -’i " j* AtlaiUa, Ga.-, June 30. —It is a curious coincidence that the meas ure which is regarded as the most serious and far-reaching of the leg islative session up-to-date has been framed and introduced by the youngest member of the legislature. The measure in question is the hill providing for the calling of a eonstitut iofial convent ion, and the framer and introducer of it is Representative Grover C. Edmond son, of Brooks county, who is only 22 years of age. • The object of this convention is stilted in the hill as being the re vise m of the constitution to make it accord better with modern condi t ions •end requirement s. The resolution provides that representation in the convention shall he by senatorial districts and that the number of representatives front each district shall he based on population in the ratio of one dele gate to every 10,000 inhabitants. The measure has already received the promise of strong support from leading members of the house' and senate. to he a universal agreement, is that some means or other must he adopted by which the teachers will receive their pay when it is due, and thus he saved from the necessi ty o' appealing to the loan sharks and assigning their salaries tit usu rious rates of interest.
