HENRY COINTY WEEKLY. McDONOIGH, GEORGIA.
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Doings of Georgia Lawmaker)
Gathered For The Benefit
Of Our Readers
New Tax Bill Introduced In House
Atlanta. —Representative Lee Lang
leg, author of a new tax bill introduc
ed in the house, is of the opinion that
his bill will solve Georgia’s present
tax problems without necessitating
any amendment to the state Constitu
tion. This, he declared, is “the pri
mary and immediate value of the
measure.”
The bill provides for bringing out
on the tax digests all forms of in
tangible property, making it subject
to taxation under the present laws.
It contains clauses sufficiently strin
gent, according to its author, to drag
out this form of hidden property
“from its caches.”
“The bill is not perfect, of course,”
said Mr. Langley. "It will have to
be worked over, but it embraces the
principles upon which a sufficient and
equitable tax system must be founded.”
House Approves Money Measure
The general appropriations bill,
amended as a substitute, was passed
by the house of representatives, 170
to 3, and will be transmitted to the
senate for consideration. Hillhouso
of Worth, Linder of Jeff Davis and
Stewart , of Atkinson were the the
three members voting against the bill
in the house.
The measure was adopted exactly
as it came from the committee of the
house as a whole, all attempts to
amend it being voted down. The an
ticipated fight to save the appropria
tion for the state bureau of markets,
which was cut off by the committee,
failed to materialize and the commit
tee amendment was upheld by a vote
of 82 to 52.
Introduce Bill To Abolish Noose
Among new bills introduced in the
house under a special period of unan
imous consent, were a number of more
than usual interest.
Mrs. Napier fro m Bibb county and
Representative J. O. Wood of Fulton
are the authors of a bill which fixes
life imprisonment as the extreme pun
ishment for crime, thus doing away
with capital punisnment in the state
of Georgia.
Markets Bureau Cut Is Approved
Further reduction in appropriations
to the stateb ureau of markets, which
has been under fire in the house for
the last ten days, was favored by
the senate /committee on agriculture
when the bill of Senator Stephen
Pace of the thirteenth district, pro
viding for striking the SIOO,OOO ap
propriation derived from the sale of
fertilizer tags, which has been used
by the bureau of markets in the pub
lication of “The Market Bulletin,” was
recommended for passage by a vote
of 9 to 7.
Bills Passed By House
Bills finally passed in the house
are as follows:
Amending the charter of the city of
Dawson so as to provide for- paving
assessments, etc.

code of Georgia. 1910, and the act of

In order to properly understand
these two characters, it will be neces

In which they are brought to our view.
These are three in number.
I. The Behavior of Martha and Mary
In the Days of Sunshine. (Luke 10:38-
42.)
In this picture we see Martha en
gaged In preparing n meal for Jesus.
Tn her effort to make the best prepara
tion for her honored guest, she became
distracted. She not only was cum
bered with much serving but she found
fault with Mary for not helping her.
She even censured the Lord for per
mitting such neglect. Martha has had
her followers in all ages. Every church
knows them. The busy, troubled and
fussy women who are engaged in serv
ice for the Lord with littlo patience
for those who sit at the feet of Jesus.
Mury sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His
word. She had taken her turn in the
service as the word “also” would im
ply. She did not neglect service, but
hud the keenness of perception to dis
cern that copnnunion with the Lord
was more prized By Him than the serv
ing of a meal. Both of these women
loved the Lord and it is impossible *to
say which loved Him more. In the
days of sunshine in this home, Mary
made the good choice of communion
with her Lord.
11. Mary and Martha In the Day of
Great Sorrow. (John 11 :l-40.)
The next scene which occupies our
attention Is the occasion of the resur
rection of Lazarus. In the time of the
sickness of Lazarus, these sisters had
sent for Jesus. Jesus loved the mem
bers of this household, and yet, strange
to say, He delayed His going unto
them. Martha met Him with rebuke,
saying that if He had been there her
brother hod not died. This carried
with it the censure for His delay un
der such trying circumstances. This
act of Martha called forth some mar
velous teachings on the resurrection.
After this interview with Martha, she
came to Mary with the message of a
call from Jesus. Mary was composed
and remained in the house until called
for. She immediately responded to
this call and used the identical words
of Martha, but instead of rebuking
her, He mingled His tears of sympathy
with hers of sorrow. The reason she
had such composure in this dark hour
: . •. : y:,,
feet and listened to His word so that
she understood the meaning of the
tragedy. The difference then in the
behavior of these two women in this
dark hour was doubtless due to the
fact that in the days of sunshine Mary
had entered fully into fellowship with
the Lord and that Martha had lost this
grace through her fretfulness.
111. Jesus Entertained at Bethany.
(John 1:1-0.)
At this supper appeared Mary,
Martha and Lazarus, who was raised
from the dead. Doubtless this supper
was in grateful appreciation of His
help and sympathy in the days of their
trial. At this meal Martha w t bs back
at her old business of serving, but it
would seem with an unruffled disposi
tion. Mary took a pound of spikenard,
very costly, and annointed the feet of
Jesus and wiped them with her hair.
This was a token of her great love and
devotion. She was back in her ac
customed place at the feet of Jesus.
With the keen intuition of true love,
she brought her costliest gift as an evi
dence of her love. She thus antici
pated His death and burial, knowing
that she could not minister unto Him
then. The Lord received this act of
love at its full value. Against the
foul criticism of Judas, Jesus defended
Mary. He declared that It was no
more a waste than the ointment
placed on the bodies of the dead
In embalmment. In fact It was the
doing of this very act beforehand unto
Him. Only Mary of all His disciples
had really understood Jesus when He
said He must be crucified and raised
again the third day. The announce
ment of His crucifixion brought unto
the others dismay. They refused to
believe in the resurrection, but Mary
came to anyplnf His body for burying.
