How is it with the North
Georgia Baptist College? 1 have
not seen any thing from it in some
time. Wo are very anxious to sec
the College a success, in order to
make it so the people of Nort h
Georgia, must rally to it, stand
by it with their money, prayers
aud patronage. Tho columns of
the Progress are open to the trus
tees aud the brethren about Mor
ganton, where the center of inter
est is, to say any thing they may
desire that will be helpful to the
cause, come, let us hear from you.
It appears like “Jonnie Bull”
has about as much on hand as he
needs to hold him steady in South
Africa. "When will England learn
that life is more than gold and
that a man does not consist of that
he poseesseth. Why not Christ ian
nations, like England and the
United States, rather than spend
so much in war, both of money
and life, take some of that money
of those men whose lives are being
lost in war, and establish schools
among those people whoso lives
they are taking, and enlighten them
upon the lives of Western Civiliza
tion. We beleive the world would
be civilized sooner in this way than
by killing the people. The man
who rules best rules by love. Mag- j

Work of the Legislature.
The Georgia legisial ure .adjourned
with a record of having passed some
good bills and failed to pass several
bad ones, it, has also made the
record for having lost so much time
in sky larking that many urgent
.
measures were abonded for want of
time to consider them. This was
particularly the ease with the tax
bill, after a committee had spent sev
eral months in i’oi mulatiug it, at a
cost of the State of $3,100.
The pressing need of the times is
a scheme to hold the gay members
down to work bench so that the
people may get the work for which
they elected them. Those free pass
es are a great stumbling block. The
free pass system is a thorn in the side
of legislative work.
Some of the most important things
the legislature did were the following
A tax imposed on dogs
Warehousemen were authorized
to issue bonds on cotton and other
products stored with them.
The position of state oil inspector!
was created.
Twenty thousand dollars appropi
ated for the military.
A law was passed requiring sleep
ing car companies to seperate
and colored passengers.
Pensions were provided for indig
ent widows of Confederate soldiers,
and deficiency.in ti.e fund provided
for.
Trustees were granted a light
carry out a plan for the improvement
of realty trusted to them.
Here are a few things the legisla
ture did not do:
The state prohibition bid did r.ot
! pass.
No safeguard was thrown around
child labor.
The tax bill was not accepted.
It was not made unlawful to re
ceive passes from railroad companies
Negroes were not disfranchised
No change was made in t'ne regis
tration law
The Australian ballot system was
not adopted.
The bill to prevent hogs from run
ning at large was defeated.
The Atlanta depot bill did not get
to a vote m the house.
Cities were not given the right to
exempt factories from taxation for a
term of years.
It was not decided to elect the
railroad commissioners by the people,
Sleeping car and telephone compa
nies were not placed under the juris
diction pf the railroad commission.
Tins session of the general ass- mbly
according to tlm tigui es given by
State Treasury Speeiycost the state
of Georgia about $70,000.—Gainsville
