What The Law Makers Are
Doing
The present session of the Gener
al Assembly began the eighth week
of its current ten weeks session on
Monday. The session ends March
23.
Prior to this week the major legis
lation that has been enacted into
law might be summed up as follows.
Submitted to the people two pro
posed constitutional amendments, one
creating the office of lieutenant
governor for a four year term and
making him the presiding officer of
the senate.
Fixed four-year terms for the
commissioner of agriculture and the
commissioner of commerce and la
bor.
A four-year term for the office of
governor will be voted on as a con
stitutional amendment in 1936.
Approved the action of Governor
Talmadge in removing the members
of the Public Service Commission.
Approved the removal of Dr. J.
M. Sutton, state veterinarian by
abolishing the office and transferring
his duties to the department of ag
riculture.
Fixed $3 as the price of autoftio
bile tags.
Enacted a law requiring burial
societies that issue life polices to
pay off in money ( instead of service.
The above bills were those spon
sored by the Governor, and had little
opposition, but now the legislators
are considering tax reform, prohibi
tion repeal, free text books, beer and
wine bills, and the general appropri
ation act. In fact, there is more im
portant legislation before the body
than has already been acted upon.
Free textbook advocates are favor
ing a tax on beer to furnish the
finances.
The prohibition issue is nearing a
showdown. The house has passed a
bill submitting repeal to the people
and also has approved a beer legali
zation bill. Both of these matters
are with the senate temperance com
mittee which will have a public hear
ing on them Wednesday afternoon.
It is costing the state approxi
mately $2,500 a day to run the Geor
gia legislature, according to esti
mates from the state treasurer’s of
fice.
At this rate the seventy-day ses
sion will cost about $175,000 in sal
aries alone to members of the house
and senate, doorkeepers, pages, as
sistants and clerical help, says the
Atlanta Journal.
Adding railroad mileage for the
short and long sessions, which ap
proximate’s $16,400, the expense is
boosted to $191,400.
Heaviest expenses are in the
house, where 204 representatives
draw $7 per day and one, the speak
er, $lO, amounting to $1,438 a day.
The house clerk draws S7O daily, out
of which he pays his clerical help.
The chief messenger and doorkeeper
get $7, and last week patronage jobs
cost over S6OO.
House patronage is unlimited in
the number of employes, but expens
es cannot exceed a fixed amount.
In the senate, where patronage
jobs are limited by resolution, the
daily cost for such jobs is $61.50,
including eight pages at $2 per day,
four assistant doorkeepers at $4
each, two assistant messengers at
$4 each, three porters at $2.50 each,
and chief doorkeeper and messenger
at $7 each.
The senate president gets $lO a
day and the other fifty draw $7 a
day, amounting to $360. Added to
this is S6O to the secretary, who pays
his clerical help.

EXCHANGE NOTES
New* Item* Of Interest Among Our
Neighbors And Friend*
Mr*. McConnell |„ Picture
(From Augusta Herald)
One of the most interesting of
the new pictures that will be exhibit
ed at the Living Pictures by the Au
gusta Art Club on Friday night at
8.30 will be “Saint Cecilia," put on
by the St. Cecilia Society and posed
by Mrs. Bright McConnell. Nothing
could be more appropriate for a
music club than this exquisite pic
ture. At one of the concerts of the
St. Cecilia Society several ' people
commented on how much Mrs. Mc-
Connell looked like the picture as
she sat at the piano, her profile turn
ed toward the audience and her
chin slightly lifted. And so the so
ciety decided to choose this picture
for their exhibit. It promises to be
one of the most beautiful as well as
one of the most intertaining of the
pictures. ;
McConnell-Wood
(From Commerce News)
The marriage of Miss Zelma Wood
and Bill McConnell which occurred
in Anderson, S. C., Thursday night,
February twenty first, came as a sur
prise to numbers of friends in Geor
gia and Alabama. Mrs. McConnell
is the pretty and attractive daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Claud Wood;
she and her twin sister, Thelma,
have always been popular members
of the younger set here. She gradu
ated from Commerce High School
last year, and has since been identi
fied with the Louise Beauty Shoppe.
Mr. McConnell came to Commerce
last fall from his home in Selma,
Ala., to look after the advertising
for The Commerce News. He re
mained here until the first of the
year, when he accepted a like po
sition with the Athens Daily Times,
which position he now holds.
Home Demonstration Officer*
(From Athens Banner-Herald)
At a meeting held Friday after
noon in the court house, Miss Marion
Coile, Winterville, was re-elected
president of the Clarke County
Home Demonstration Council; and
Mrs. Harris Thurmond, Oconee
Hegihts, and Mrs. Robert Winter,
Winterville, first and second vice

Four Generation* Take Methodist
Paper
(From Wesleyan Advocate)
When Mrs. J. T. Eakes subscribed
to The Wesleyan, to be sent to her
son, Mr. L. S. Eakes, our paper be
gan going to the fourth generation
of her father to receive it. The
grandfather of Mrs. Eakes used to
take the paper as the Southern
Christian Advocate when it was pub
lished in Macon, and it has been in
her family ever since.
XXX*
Local Product Sent To Negroe* Up
North
(From Dawson News)
Dawson has one by-product of
which few people, with the exception
of the colored race, are aware, and
one which not only is used locally
but is sent ter negroes “up north.”
In a railway cut in the city limits
“soft stone” abounds in large quanti
ties, and being entirely free from
any grit or foreign substances is
said to he pleasing to the taste.
Many of those eating the stone, or
chalk, acquire an ashen complexion
due to the effect of the mineral on
the system, but it is eaten just the
same. . ,
Packages containing quantities 01
the chalk are sent to former Dawson
negroes who have gone north to live
by relatives here, and the “delicacy”
is gladly received.
It is said the base of a well known
popular drink is formed from a
product similar t<s the chalk which
is native to this immediate section,
and like-wise is used in low grade
paint mixtures and for many other
purposes.
There has never been an attempt
made to commercialize the product
locally, the only outlet for it, so far
as is known, being that sent north
for “eating purposes” by former
residents who have a craving for
the mineral.
Mr. W. M. McDonald made a busi
ness trip to Griffin this week.

NO INVESTIGATION
OF “CARPET BAG”
CHARGES IN GERA
(From Atlanta Constitution)
There will be no investigation of
“carpet-bagging” charges made
against the Georgia emergency re
life administration by the state legis
lature because such charges are
without foundation and the Washing
ton administration sees no necessity
for such a probe, it was announced
Thursday by Alan Johnstone. FERA
field representative, sent to Atlanta
by Relief Administrator Harry Hop
kins.
Records at GERA headquarters
reveal 97 per cent of the 3,900
GERA employes were citizens and
voters of this state at the time they
entered the service of the adminis
tration and 94 per cent were unem
ployed when placed on the GERA
pay roll.
It was pointed out that of the five
legislators who visited Mr. Hopkins
in Washington to press the “carpet
bagging” charges, two are not na
tive-born residents of Georgia, and
Speakers Rivers himself was born in
Arkansas.
A legislative committee headed by
Rivers visited Washington a week
ago to confer with Harry Hokins, re
lief administrator, and demand an
investigation of the alleged placing
of “carpet baggers” in key positions
in the GERA.

LOY PERFORMS DAREDEVIL
ROLE IN NEW FILM
Cast in the role of a daredevil
aviatrix who risks life and limb for
the sake of the man she loves, Myr
na Loy, screen favorite, heads the
cast of Paramount’s “Wings in the
Dark,” which comes Tuesday to the
Roosevelt Theatre.
Cary Grant —“tall, dark and hand
some,” is coupled with Miss Loy in
the romantic leads of the picture as
an airman who is a scientist and ad
venturer. The stoj-y thrills from
start to finish. Grant invents instru
ments to make flying safe, but is
blinded by an accident. Miss Loy
furnishes him funds for his work
and in a final desperate effort to help
him, undertakes a flight from Mos
cow to New York for an enormous
purse.
In a final, gripping climax Cary
Grant goes aloft to bring Miss Loy
down when she. is fog-bound above
the landing field at the end of the
flight. An accident restores ms
sight and the two lovers are happi y
united.
