MILEAGE BILL
PASSES SENATE
The traveling men of Georgia won
from the railroads Wednesday after
noon when all the substitute bills
to the Shaw mileage bill were brush
ed aside, and by a vote of 40 to 3,
the original bill of the traveling
men was passed with only a few
slight amendments.
The amendments reduced the size
of (towns in which windows must be
maintained from 3,000 to 2,000 popu
lation, and gives the railroads until
December 1 to install the windows,
instead of thirty days. The senate
lulled a substitute, the chief provis
ion of which was to allow the rail
road commission to exempt certain
towns.
The bill as passed requires rail
roads to maintain seperate mileage
windows and agents in towns of
2,000 or more inhabitants or to pull
mileage on trains or to charge a fare
of not more than 2 cents per mile.
The senate recently passed a sub
stitute bill which called for the win
dows but did not provide for agents.
On the motion of the author, who
has said that the emasculation was
unconstitutional, the senate recon
sidered its action in passing the
bill.
Epworth League
The Epworth League, led by Mrs.
Pierce last Sunday, was a success.

Miss Margaret Smith
The Epworth League desires to
pay a last tribute to the dear mem
ory of Margaret Smith. She was a
sweet, gentle girl with a beautiful
Christian character. Her pure life
has proved an inspiration and an
example to her many friends, for
she had a kind word and a bright
smile for every one. She was a
power in the school room; she was
untiring in her work for the Lord;
she was a thoughtful, sympathetic
friend. Many a heart is sore and
bleeding because this lovely girl has
been taken by her Saviour, but it
throbs again with joy as we see her
among the brightest angels. Her
arms are extended toward us and a
pleading invitation beams from her
eyes. Let us so live and think and
do that when our last day comes we
can respond gladly to her call.

Daniel Reunion
July 28th, was a day long to be
remembered by the Daniel family,
for on that day they met at the
beautiful home of R. R. Daniel, on
Route 5, and held an interesting
family reunion.
At the noon hour they were all
invited to partake of the bounteous
supply of barbecued meats and
other edibles. After dinner several
good talks were made by members
of the family and some good music
was also enjoyed.
The writer is not a relative of the
Daniels, but had the pleasure of be
ing with them on this occasion and
thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Long may they live to enjoy
many such happy days.

A disastrous fire occurred at
Union City between midnight and
day Tuesday morning when the plant
of the Union Lumber & Manufac

originated in the machinery build

damaged. It is stated that some

went through the fire, and no insur

that the fire was of incendiary origin
as practically no fire was left in the
boiler the evening before, and the

removed from the building. The
