Toombs in Twelth Congressional Dist
rict.
Atlanta, Aug. 14 —The House
has passed the congressional reap
postioument bill by a vote of 121
to 10, after making a number of
changes m the committee’s report.
The effect of these changes was
more nearly to equalize popula
tion in the new district, though
equalization is now far from com
plete, and there will be a fight in
the Senate to get still closer to it.
The Fifth district is left the lar
gest in the state, and an effort will
be made to take off one couuty and
give it to the Fourth, which is one
of the smallest in point of popu
lation, One or two other changes
along similar Jiueg may be made
by the Senate:
Joe Hill Hall of Bibb, chaimian
of subcommittee which prepared
the bill, urged the House to ac
cept the few amendments offered
and adopt the bill. He resent
ed strongly insinuations which he
said had been made, to the effect
that he was gerrymandering the
Sixth di-M ' t inhis own interest.
As finally passed by the House
the First district loses Emanuel
and Toombs to the new Twelfth.
The Second distric loses Berrien
to the Eleventh and Clay, Quit
man, Randolph. Terrill, and Tur
ner tothe Third.
The Third distrist loses Craw
ford to the Sixth and Houston,
Pulaski, Twiggs and Wilcox to the
new Twelft.
The Fourth district is unchang
ed.
The Fifth distric loses Newton
and Walton to the Eighth and
Clayton to the Sixth.
The Sixth district loses Baldwin
to the Tenth and gains Clayton
from the Jasper from the
Eighth and Crawford from the
Third
The Seventh district is unchang
ed.
The Eight district loses Jasper
to the Sixth and Putman to the
Tenth, gaining Newton and Wal
ton from the Fifth.
The Nineth district is unchang
ed.
The Tenth district gains Bald
win from the Sixth and Putman
from the Eight.
The Eleventh district loses John
son, Laurens, Dodge, Montgomery
and Telfair to the new Twelfth and
gains Berrien from the Second.
The new Twelfth distric is com
posed of Emanuel and Toombs!
from the First; Johnson, Laurins, i
Dodge, Montgomery and Telfair
from the Eleventh, and Houston,
Twiggs, Pulaski and Wilcox from
the Third. Each congressman, ex
cept Dudlv Hughes is left in his
old distric. Mr. Hughes is mov
ed from the Third to the Twelfth.
The Third will get the new con
gressman. No two eongressim
are placed m the same district.

Perhaps you have never given much con=
sideratiou to their purchase, but think for a minute of the long days
the little ones must spend in using them, and how muh pleasure and
satisfaction it means if everything is just like they want it.
Something that does not suit is a keen dis=
oppointment, and now is the time that your children are forming
habits and ideas that will have a great influence on their futures.
Failure to equip them with the proper supplies is an actual
handicap.
We have taken all of these features into consideration in buying
our school supplies, and the children will receive the same prices, if
they come alone, as you do.
