HALL COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OUSTED The Hall county representatives in the Georgia legislature succeeded in passing a bill abolishing the pies ent Hall county road commissioners and providing for the election of a new board. The present commis sioners, Perino Davis, Tom Randolph and P. C. Smith, will serve until May 15, on which date a county-wide election will be held to determine who shall fill the offices. The editor of the Gainesville News predicts that the present board will be elect ed overwhelmingly. Legislating t e old commissioners out of office is the result of politics. A petition of more than 14 hundred Hall county citizens requested the senate to kill the bill, and more than two hundred went before the committee to pro test its favorable recommendation. However, the law was enacted, ana its ratification is now up to the peo ple of Hall county. notice Someone has borrowed a book belonging to the U. D. s. title is, “Women of the South in War Times."

Legislature Adjourns in Wild Confusion With No Appropriation Bill Passed After being in session for seven ty days at a cost of around $185,000 to the tax payers of Georgia, the legislature adjourned sine die Sat urday at midnght without doing the one and only thing required of them by law—the passage of an appro priation bill. Many new statutes were added to the list of laws al ready in existence, but these were not obligatory. The general assembly adjourned in the wildest confusion, although it had been stated by the governor and the presiding officers on many occasions that this legislature would wind up its affairs in an orderly manner and be ready for adjourn ment when the time came with all necessary bills passed. But when the time came for adjournment, no disposition had been made of the bi ennial appropriations bill. Failure of the appropriations bill to pass left the heads of the various state departments and institutons in a quandary. The bill carried $4,250,000 for the common schools and also appropri ations for the ellemosynary institu tions and the university system. It also contained operating expenses for all of the functions of the state government. Some leaders in the house of rep resentatives said they did not be lieve the governor had authority to take over the appropriations and fix them himself. Floor Leader Roy V. Harris of Richmond (Augusta) county said, “of course, anything is likely, and he may try to do so. But I don’t see how in the world he can do it.” Opposing factions in the house and senate accuse each other of being responsible for failure of the bill. Twenty minutes before the gavels in the senate and house fell simul taneously at the stroke of midnight, Representative Paul Lindsay, grey haired veteran from DeKalb county and political foe of Governor Tal madge, threw the house into an up roar by openly charging the gover nor with sole responsibility for fail ure of conference committees to a gree on the appropriations bill. As the assemblymen departed, Representative H. B. Edwards, of Lowndes county, Talmadge leader in the low r er branch of the assembly, is sued a caustic statement in which he charged that the failure of the house to pass the appropriations bill as advocated by the senate was due to a long series of speeches on the floor of the house “nominating for gover nor and lieutenant governor” and the presenting of various gifts to of ficials of the house. During the'closing night session there was a physical clash the floor between H. B. Edwards, and Verlyn Booth of Barrow county, and a threatened clash between Edwards and Paul Lindsay. A statement given out by Roy Harris says: “The failure of the general assembly to pass an appro priations bill will result in chaos in the state and county governments. “In my opinion the governor is not authorized to spend a penny of the state’s money unless it is appro priated by the general assembly. “However, a worse situation is created by reason of the fact that no ad valorem taxes can be levied for the support of the state govern ment or for the support of the counties unless an appropriations bill is passed by the general assem bly.” ' MR. FRED J. ORR Mr. F. J. Orr, aged 60, q widely known Georgia architect, died sud denly last week of a heart attack in Jacksonville, Fla., where he was en gaged in some government work.

Thursday, March ?3, 1935. SERVICES HONORING DR. CRAWFORD LONG DR. FRANK BOLAND TO SPEAK IN HONOR OF DR. CRAWFORD LONG SATURDAY AFTERNOON, BUST TO BE UNVEILED AT MARTIN INSTITUTE. Next Saturday, March 30, is Na tional Ether Day, and the event will be celebrated in this section of the nation by exercises in Jefferson, Ath ens and Danielsville, to pay tribute to one of the greatest scientists and humanitarians of all times—Dr. Crawford W. Long. Dr. Long was born in Danielsvile, practiced medicine and discovered the use of ether as an anaesthetic in Jefferson, later moving to Athens, where he died. Saturday marks the ninety-third anniversary of the first successful rendering of a patient insensible to pain during a surgical operation. This operation was per formed in Jefferson by Dr. Long, who removed two small tumors from the neck of James M. Venable. Jefferion Exercite* Next Saturday afternoon, a bust of Dr. Long, modeled by Dr. Noble of Atlanta, will be unveiled at Mar tin Institute. A committee of which Wm. H. Smith is chairman, has ar ranged a program for the unveiling exercises which will take place at 3.00. Mr. Smith is one of the out standing authorities on the life and contributions of Dr. Long and has spent many years and much money in assisting in the movement to ob tain recognition for the Georgia#. • Mayor George W. Westmoreland will preside at the meeting at the Institute; the invocation will be giv en by Rev. J. A. Gray; Dr. Frank K. Boland of Atlanta, and Dr. Max Cut ler of Chicago will deliver address es; Judge J. S. Ayers will present the bust, which will be accepted by Professor 11. J. W. Kizer, and unveil ed by E. C. Long, a great, great grandson of Dr. Long. Dr. Noble, who modeled the bust, and Mrs. Noble will be distinguished guests. The ceremonies at Athens will be held at 10.30 a. m. Saturday, and Dr. Max Cutler, national known can cer specialist of Chicago, will deliver the address. The discovery of ether as an an aesthetic is a strange story. Young men in Jefferson frequently met in the office of Dr. Long* who was only 27 years of age, to enjoy what they called “Ether frolics.” Long himself participated in these parties, and this is his story of the operation: “They were so much pleased with the effects that they afterwards fre quently used it and induced others to do the same, and the practice soon became quite fashionable in the county and some of the contiguous counties. “The first patient to whom I ad ministered ether in a surgical op eration was Mr, James M. Venable, who then resided within two miles of Jefferson, and at present lives in Cobb county, Ga. Mr. Venable con sulted me on several occasions in re gard to the propriety of removing two small tumors situate on the back of his neck, but would postpone from time to time having the operation performed, from dread of pain. At length I mentioned to him the fact of my receiving bruises while under the influence of the vapor of ether without suffering, and as I knew him to be fond of and accustomed to in hale ther, I suggested to him the probabilty that the operation might be performed without pain, and proposed operating on him while un der its influence. He consented to have one tumor removed, and the operation was performed the same evening. The ether was given to Mr. Venable on a towel, and when fully under its influence I extirpated the tumor.” MISS LEWIS AND MR. ASKEW WILL BE MARRIED The announcement of the engage ment of Miss Ruth Frances Lewis to Mr. Whitley Cook Askew is announc ed by the bride-elect’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lewis, of Hape 'pjjg bride-elect has a responsible position with the Southern railway.
