Battallion of Cadets at Agricultural College Have Sham Battle T o-morrow. An event of unusual interest this week will be the sham battle between the two companies of cadets of the Agricultural College on Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 5 o’clock. The “battle” will rage on the college cam pus, all the cadets of both companies taking part. The cadets have been in practice for some time and it is expected that the occasion will furnish much entertain ment for visitors, who are cordially invited to be present. During the maneuvers on the field, Capt. H. W. Rainey of Company B will be in command of the entire bat talion. The enemy will be entrenched just over the hill south of the drill grounds and will be supported by a masked 'battery. While the enemy will not be in the open, all the maneuvers and movements of the cadets will be on the field and in plain view. The military feature in the school is not compulsory, yet a large num ber of the boys belong to the organi zation. By the opening of the next school year it is the purpose of the management to require all students to wear a uniform and to.drill. Term Drawing to a ('lose.

The great question that now. confronts the man agement and the friends of the school, is to tie a tile to meet the growing de mand on the part of the people for places for their boys and girls in the school. This school is in no sense local in its scope. There are now on the ro’ls of the school students from four states, five congressional districts and twenty-eight counties. College Veil Is Adopted.

Although she had regained con sciousness several times since the tragedy, the woman never had been able to give a coherent story of the crime. Savannah, Dec. 13.—Battled at every turn tlie police were unable last night to claim anw considerable progress in solving the mystery of the Gribble- Ohiander murders, though every pos sible clue has been relentlessly fol lowed to a logical conclusion The case is strangely lacking In clues that appear material. Second only to the almost unbelievable fact that the crime was committed without anyone heating the sound of struggle or out cry, is that the murderer escaped from the house without leaving an incrim inating sign or mark that would throw light on the sequence of the murders and the attack on Mrs. Hunter.

BILLS IN WAITIN6 FOR SESSION OF SOIONS Many Measures of Import ance Wait. j The Convening of Next Session of the Legisla ture in the Good Old Summer Time Atlanta. Dec. 13.—Calendars of the unfinished business of the House and Senate, Georgia Legislature which have been furnished to the members by Clerk Botfeuillet and Scretary C. 3. Northen, indicate in a measure what legislation stands the best chance of getting through at,the next session. One of the most interesting matters upon which the General .Assembly will have to act, is the question of ratifi cation of the proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States authorizing Congress to levy a tax upon incomes. There are several important meas ures which pas&d either one or the other of the Houses and are now pending for final passage. There is the game protection bill, which had little trouble in getting through the Senate, but which is meeting ail sorts of opposition from certain members of the House. It was tabled in the House when 1t came up for passage. Among the bills which passed the House and are pending in the Senate is one “to fix the salaries of the judges of the Court of Appeals." Curiousi enough, this bill, as '( i passed the House, fixes th* „»« >s c.f the appellate judges at - -is.-;, the j amount they are now recet. L,. *4.000 I a year. It will be interesting to watch the progress of this bill in view of the well-known opposition In the House to salary increases in the present state of the treasury. if the Court of Appeals judges' should get increases, it will, of course, ie up to the legislature to increase the salaries of the jusitces of the Su preme (,'ouri by an equal amount. T?ie judges of both courts are now paid tho same saleries. Other important general bills which lave passed the House and are pend ing for action in the Senate include dr. McMichael’s bill to require that ill cotton seed meal shall be branded according to grade. There is also the bill of Mr. McMu rnn of Clarke, appropriating $200,000 to pay additional pensions to veterans nf the Civil War under the service pension amendment to the state con stitution. Strong effort was made to get the latter measure through at the last session, but owing to the depleted con dition of the treasury, the Appropria tions Committee of the Senate held it back until it was too late to get it hrough. Should it be enacted, this bill will run Georgia's annual pension budget up to $1,150,000. Other bills which have passed the Senate and are awaiting action by the House include Senator McWllliam’s measure to allow county boards of education to borrow money to pay :he salaries of public school teachers when they are due.

C., Dec. 13.—The j first week of the new session of con gress was a busy one for the members ' of the Georgia delegation. Beginning ; with the work of the session Monday j at noon, the President’s message so!- ! lowed on Tuesadv and Wednesday and j Thursday were given to attendance; upon the rivers and harbors congress. Today the house and senate were j practically doing nothing. During this week a good line may be drawn upon what is likely to De done by the different members of the delegation after the holidays are over, at which time the real work or the ! year begins. While, therefore, the week just end ed has brought out little, if anything, lof value In a legislative way, the members of the house and senate have perhaps done quite as well by giving their attention to the work of the Southern Commercial Congress and the rivers and harbors congress, and to laying the plans for an active cam-} paign after they return to Washington I early in January.
