DECISION ANENT DEAPPORTIONMENT MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE WILL NOT BE APPORTIONED UNTIL NEXT YEAR 'SHORT ITEMSJIF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here and There From All Sections Os The State -Atlanta.—lt is now considered prob able that there will be no reapportion ment of members of the general as sembly of Georgia until 1921, after the official report of the 1920 census has been promulgated. An opinion rendered by Assistant At torney General Graham Wright, cou pled with a letter written to Gover nor Dorsey by Sam L. Rogers, direc tor of the census, combine to influ ence the general assembly to delay the reapportionment until next year. The opinion was rendered by the as sistant attorney general at the request J of Representative W. A. Covington of Colquitt, who had intended to intro duce a reapportionment resolution un der which Colquitt county would be given two representatives instead of one as at present. Air. Wright holds to the view that there is no prece dent for making a reapportionment in a census year, but rather during the year immediately following the an nouncement of the census returns for the entire country. He also states that the report thus far received from the director of the census indicates that it is incomplete and possibly subject to correction. The opinion of the assistant attor ney general follows: Hon. W. A. Covingtop, House of Rep resentatives, State Capitol—Dear Sir: In compliance with your request for an opinion as to the reapportionment of the representatives of the general assembly by the present session of the legislature, I have carefully gone into the question involved in this mat ter and have reached the following conclusion: Article 3, section 3, paragraph 2, of the constitution of the state of Geo% gia provides that the apportionment jof the representation in the house ishall be changed by the general as sembly at its first session after each Icensus taken by th,e United States gov ernment. The census act of congress of 1910 makes no provision as to when the census shall be completed and take ef fect, other than that it should be com pleted within three years from the first day of July, 1919. The general rule appears to be that in the absence of a time specified when a census shall take effect the same takes effect from the date of the official publication of the result of such census by the officer or bureau charged with the duty of taking same. (See volume 17, Cor pus Juris, page 71.) I am, therefore, of the opinion that the present legislature of the state of Georgia is not authorized to reap portion the representatives in the house upon any preliminary report of the director of the census, but that the first session of the legislature of the state of Georgia after the completed and official report of this bureau is the “first session” of the general as sembly within the meaning of the con stitutional provision above quoted. This opinion is borne out by the fact that the reapportionment was made after the previous census in the years 1901 and 1911, and not 1900 and 1910. I trust that this answers your in quiry fully and I am returning here with the letter of Air. Rogers, which you left me. I am also furnishing the governor with a copy of this opinion at your request. Very respectfully yours, GRAHAM WRIGHT, Assistant Attorney General. Alleged Gun Theft At Emory Armory Atlanta. —With the arrest of four employees of Emory university includ r~ ing the night watchman, a plot to rob the college armory of a large quanti ty of guns and ammunition is dis closed.

I DAIRY 1 FACTS AGE OF CATTLE DETERMINED Each Year Leaves Its Mark on Grind ers of Animal, Gradually Wear ing to Stubs. The age of cattle can be approximnt ed closely by the appearance, develop ment and subsequent Xvear of their second incisor teeth, according to Farmers’ Bulletin 1000 just issued by the United States department of agri culture. Cattle have eight incisor teeth, all in the lower jaw. In the calf at birth two or more of the temporary or first incisor teetli are present. With the iirst month the entire eight incisors have appeared. Each of the six stages in the development of the teeth is shown in the bulletin by illustrations which will be very helpful to the per son desirous of becoming proficient in judging the age of cattle. As the animal approaches two years of age the center pair of temporary in (1) Internal Face of Incisors of Calf. (2) At Two Years. (3) At Three Years. (4) At Four Years. (5) At Five Years. (6) At Twelve Years. cisor teeth or pinchers are replaced by the permanent pinchers, which at two years attain full development. At from two and one-half to three years the permanent first intermedi ates are cut and are usually fully de veloped at three years. At three and one-half years the sec ond intermediates or laterals are cut. They are on a level with the first inter mediates and begin to wear at four years. At four and one-half to five years the corner teeth are replaced, the ani mal at five years having the full com plement of incisors with the corners fully developed. At five to six years there is a level ing of the permanent pinchers, the pinchers usually being leveled at six and both pairs of intermediates par tially leveled and the corner incisors showing wear. From seven to eight the pinchers are noticeably worn; from eight' to nine the middle pairs.; and by fen years the corner teeth. After six years the arch gradually loses its rounded contour and becomes nearly straight by the twelfth year. In the meantime the teeth have be come triangular In shape, distinctly separated, and show the progressive wearing to stubs. NEGLECT BUTTERFAT TESTS Operation Is Comparatively Simple Where Proper Facilities Are Available. Many dairymen maintain milk rec ord sheets continuously and well, but they fall short on doing the dairying sleuth work up brown, in that they neglect io make frequent and regular butterfat tests of their milk. This chemical operation is relative ly simple where the proper facilities are available and every farmer with a little practice will be able to get accurate and dependable results from its use. A simple, handpower Bab cock test outfit is inexpensive and will pay for itself in a few months in the increased efficiency which attends its use. j DAIRY NOTES j Love for your work is the key to your success.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Absalom's Sellish Life and How It Ended. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Elements of Weakness in David's Char acter. I. David’s Sins (12:1), 10). 1. Adultery (v. 9; cf. 11:1-4). David instead of going forth at the head of the army as was the duty of the king (11:1), sent Joal> and his servants, and he himself lounged around at home in idleness. It was while in idleness that he fell a victim to his lust and committed adultery with Bathsheba. “An idle brain is the Devil’s workshop.” The crimes of the world are committed for the most part by idle men and women. 2. Murder (12:9; cf. 11:15-21). Having committed adultery with Uriah’s wife, David tried to cover up his sin by killing Uriah. He ordered Joub to place Uriah at the forefront of tlie battle where lie would surely be killed. When men sin they en deavor to cover up their sin by com mitting otlier sins, and usually it re quires tlie doing of greater wickedness to cover up wrong that has been done. 11. David’s Sorrow (18:1-33). 1. The battle between Absalom and David (vv. 1-18). Following Absalom’s revolt, David fled from Jerusalem. After counsel with Ahitliophel and Hushai, Absalom with ills men went in pursuit. Absalom planned well, but made one great mistake —lie left God out of tiie question. Being dissuaded by the people, David foregoes his purpose of going forth with tlie army. He sent tlie army forth under three commanders. His one special request as they went to battle was that they deal gently with Absalom. The victory of David’s army was overwhelming. The inter ference of Providence is marked in that more died in tlie entanglement of tlie woods than by tlie sword. In tlie flight, Absalom was caught in the bough of a tree by tlie head, and was left hanging as the mule went forth from under him. Perhaps his long hair which had been his pride was the instrument of ids destruction. While thus hanging, Joab thrust him through tlie heart with three darts. This awful end was,deservedly met (Deut. 27:16, 20; 21:23). They dis gracefully disposed of ids body (vv. 17, 18). They cast it into a pit and piled stones upon it as a litting monument of his villainy. How different from what he planned (v. 18). His one am bition was to be remembered. A heap of stones piled upon him in con tempt is quite different from a tomb in tlie king’s vale. 2. Tlie victorious tidings announced to David (vv. 19-32). He was anxious ly waiting for news from the battle field. So anxious was he that he sta tioned a watchman upon tlie walls to look for some messenger to appear. His first question to the messenger shows what was uppermost in his heart. It was tlie welfare of ids hoy. 3. David mourns for Absalom (v. 33). lie received tlie news of his re bellious son’s death with much regret. Tlie good news of tlie victory was en tirely lost sight of througli excessive grief. The sobs of his poor heart must have been awful. Perhaps it is impossible to analyze his sorrow, but most likely tlie following elements were present: (1) The loss of a son. The ties of uature bind together the hearts of parents and children in such away that separation by deatli is very try ing; (2) the deatli of a sou in re bellion against ids father and God. Could he hut have had the assurance that this course was regretted, or could he have heard a cry of forgive ness, his grief, no doubt, would have been greatly lessened; (3) he knew that his rebellious son had now gone to answer to God for ids crimes—he knew their parting was forever; (4) lie knew that tills was but the bitter fruit of ids own sin. In a sense he was the destroyer of his own child. May this example deeply impress all parents as to their responsibility! Away from tills dark picture we turn to contem plate the depths of a father's love. Death effaces all faults; all wrongs are forgotten and only the memory of happy days is kept. The father is willing to die, even for a rebellious son. This illustrates God’s love to us in Christ which made him willing to die for his children. The Greatest. The greatest man is he who chooses tlie rigid with invincible resolution; who resists the sorest temptations from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is tiie calmest In storms, and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on God. is the most unfaltering.—Channlng.
