Work of the Last Session.
It is the fashion to criticise congress
and the Georgia legislature. It is true
of these bodies that the evil they do
Jives after them and the good is often
inferred with their bones. The present
*b/ dy has not yet passed into history. It
has finished two out of three terms, and
has before it another fifty days. The
. members who are going to run for re
■ election, however, have made their
* records, for before they meet in session
again their successors will have been
nominated in the Democratic primaries
of Georgia.
Governor Candler, who has watched
y public bodies in this State for thirty
. years, and who has been a member of
the house and senate, besides serving at
secretary of State and chief executive,
declares that the present legislature is
in some respects the strongest body
which has assembled since 18~8. At
,that time an unusually able assembly
was elected to put into motion the ma
chinery of the new constitution.
On the other hand, the Atlanta News
says that “the legislature started off
* well, but shortly it fell down and staid
down until the time limit was almost
up, then it arose and enacted.” The
News goes on to say that at one time
the legislature promised to give the peo
ple much, and them promised to give
them nothing.
It must be charged up, however, to
the credit of the body that this general
assembly passed the franchise law,
, which brought about twenty-five mil
lions of property to the books which
h<*d formerly escaped taxation. Then
it enacted a reform in the convict lease,
which provides that all felony convicts
- sentenced for terms of five years and
under are to be worked on the county
roads, each county using its own con
victs and those not using them to par
ticipate in the rental of the convicts
leased. This is an entering wedge to
improve the present convict system in
‘ Georgia. That system has been looked
upon as cruel and barbarous, asenrich
*.,4ng the lessees and depriving the State
l of the labor and the hire of its con
i demned felons. Under the new system
the State preserves the care, custody
'Sand punishment of the convicts. It is
a good beginning. Under this law
seven hundred convicts will be put to
work ont he public roads within the
next year.
The general assembly has passed a
, vagrancy law to destroy idleness. One
of the features of the hill is that per

a Greek, has been stabbod to death
A ; -dras. a Turk, seriously
wounded, by l ewis, a Frenchman, on
t Tthe steamer Bristol, which arrived at
Quarantine last night from Das Pal
mas. All these men were members ol
the ship’s crew and the fight took place
between them in the forecastle of the
steamer on Monday evening.
sons who live upon the earnings of
minor children, and who do nothing
themselves, are to be classed as va
grants.
The legi lature adopted by an over
whelming vote the uniform text book
bill. The readers of the Press wi.l re
member that this paper did not look ou
that measure with especial favor, but
the demand from the rural districts,
some of which were said to be suffering
from incompetent and illiterate school
boards and superintendents, was all in
the direction of this bill. The question
was asked, if county uniformity is such
a good thing, why not State uniform
ity?
The prevalence of smallpox during
the last few years in Goorgia led to the
movement which resulted in a bill to
create a board of health. The bill is
now a law. The board is to be com
posed of one prominent physician from
each congressional district. It is be
lieved that such a body, wisely con
ducted, will be a blessing to the State.
The legislature also adpropriated
$30,000 for a State exhibit at St. Louis
next year.
It passed an amendment to the consti
tution fixing the tax limit to live mills.
Many of the members claim that this is
not wise, but it sounds well, and is
plausible on its face.
The McMichael bill, to provide that
in elections to levy' a school tax the
question may De decided by two-thirds
of those voting, of two-thirds of
the registered voters, as now, vas passed.
Under present regulations it is hard to
get the requisite vote. This is a far
reaching bill and is believed to be in the
interest of furnishing a genuine impetus
to the cause of education if the people
ratify' the. amendment.
This body gave the lobby a shaking up.
It defeated the child labor bill and the
Australian ballot bill.
It declined to increase the salaries of
the governor and the State judiciary,
although this may’ be done next year.
A bill to establish an appellate court
to relieve the supreme court was post
poned until next June.
The house passed bills to elect railroad
commissioners by the people; also to
elect, county school commis-ioners by
the people. Both of the bills died in the
senate ; perhaps it is just as well.
The Atlanta News declares that this
legislature wa- “inimitable and enter
taining, whether it did or whether it
didn't; it was a body that vexed greatly
and at times eharined unspeakablv.”
