Mr. Atkinson’s Bill Passes by Substitute
—Interesting Discussion of the
Measure.
From Legislative Proceedings of 8th Inst.
Most of the session of the House yes
terday was spent in listening to the dis
cussion on the bill relative to the in
spection of oils.
Mr. Schofield at the winter session in-
t roduced a bill to protect the people
against the dangers of illuminating oils,
but withdrew it.
Mr. Atkinson introduced a bill pro
viding that all amounts received for in
spection of oils should be paid into the
Treasury of the State and become a
part of the educational fund of the
State. His bill looked to the inspection
being performed by the inspectors of
fertilizers without extra pay in addi
tion to their salary as inspectors of fer
tilizers. This was referred to the
finance committee, who reported a sub
stitute for it, entitled “an act to amend
t he laws of this State in reference to
inspection of illuminating oils by pro
viding for the appointment of inspect
ors of oils, prescribing the manner and
amount of their compensation, revising
the schedule of fees now prescribed by
law for the inspection of oils, provid
ing for the disposition of said fees,”
etc.
The substitute provided that the
(Commissioner of Agriculture should
appoint an inspector of oils at Atlanta,
Macon, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus,
Rome, Brunswick and Athens, pro
vided said appointees shall not be in
spectors of fertilizers. Each inspector
holds oftice for two years from Janua
ry, 1888, arid gives bond in double the
amount of the actual receipts of fees of
the previous year. As compensation
the inspector receives one-half the fees,
t he other half being paid into the State
Treasury.
The fees for the inspection are: Lots
of 400 gallons, or upwards, in bulk or in
barrels, one-half cent per gallon; 200
gallons, and less than 400 gallons, one
cent per gallon; less than 200 gallons, II
cents per gallon.
Inspectors are required to respond to
calls for their services from places with
in thirty miles of the towns for which
they are appointed. As compensation
they receive their traveling expenses
and mileage at five cents per mile, to
be paid by the party for whom the in
spections are made. Where the oil is
stored in storage tanks of 8,000 gallons
and upwards, the inspectors are re
quired once a week to test the oil.
Mr. Atkinson offered a substitute for
the substitute. This made it the duty
of inspectors of fertilizers to inspect
oils without additional compensa
tion. When other inspectors are
appointed, they receive as compen
sation one-third of the fees received by
them for the inspection of oils. The
fee for inspection is made one cent per
gallon. Each inspector gives a bond of
$1,000. The fees go into the State
Treasury and become a part of the
common school fund.
Mr. Atkinson, in support of his sub
stitute, said: “When the law relative
to the inspection of oils was passed, it
was not dreamed that the fees would
reach the magnitude now attained.
“The Commissioner of Agriculture,
in his report, gives the following facts:
“Gallons of oil inspected, 1885, 1,767,-
020: fees, $10,750.27.
“Gallons of oil inspected, 1880, 2,103,-
;;17; fees, $12,500.35: a total of S,8i0,83i
gallons and $23,352.02 fees.
“Of this amount the inspector at At
lanta deceived $6,607.52; at Savannah,
$5,095,91; at Columbus, $2,282.30; at
Macon, $3,053.05; at Rome, 8444.44: at
Athens, $190.88; at Brunswick, $372.55.
“The substitute of the finance com
mittee makes separate and distinct of
fices. and gives them one-half the fees.
The bill enables the Standard Oil Com
pany to be masters of the oil trade.”
%fr. Matthews—“.The object of the
substitute offered by the finance commit
tee is to protect consumers, and not to
raise a tax. The substitute of Mr. At-
-kinson has a fatal defect. It does not
contain section ten of the committee >
substitute with reference to testing oil
in storage tanks weekly. The amount
allowed the inspectors was not exces
sive. The substitute of Mr. Atkinson
is thoroughly impracticable.”
Mr. Arnheim—“As it is not against
the rules of this House to compliment
members, I would remark that Mr. At-
“In Iowa the rate is the same, ex
cept it is teu cents ^ per barrel over 20
and not exceeding 100 barrels, and fire
cents for all over'100 barrels.
“Wisconsin charges a fee of ten cents
per barrel.
“In Ohio the rates are similar to those
in Indiana.
“Missouri charges twelve cents each
for barrels or large packages and six
cents each for small packages.
“In Louisiana the rate is J cent per (
gallon or 124 cents per barrel of 50 gal
lons.
“In Georgia the rate is: In bulk of
over 8 barrels, 400 gallons, 4 cent per
gallon; 200 to 44)0 gallons, 1 cent per
gallon; in bulk less than 200 gallons, 14
cents per gallon; in barrels, 10 or more,
1 cent per gallon, or 50 cents per bar
rel, and 50 cents per barrel for less than
10 barrels.
“In reality, fifty cents per barrel for
all sold in barrels, and twenty-five
cents for the same amount inspected in
bulk. The committee thoroughly in
vestigated the subject. The substitute
is against a monopoly.”
Mr. Atkinson said: “I deny that the
inspectors of fertilizers will refuse to
do their duty as oil inspectors. Pass
the substitute offered by the commit
tee and you will make it almost impos
sible to get oil in here in small quanti
ties. My only object is to put the
money into the State Treasury.”
Mr. Harrison, of Quitman—“Repre
sentatives will remember the time
when the people of Georgia went about
at night with a lighted keg of powder
in their hands, and inquiry was made
if science could not come forward with
some preventive—some relief from
danger. The press was filled with de
tails of children burned to death from
oil, accidents and property destroyed.
Two-thirds of the oil was not inspected
at all. The Legislature of 1881 made an
effort to remedy this evil. The Legis
lature raised the standard to one hun
dred and twenty degrees fire *test, and
made the seller responsible in money
damages. Who has heard of such ac
cidents since 1882 V Encourage the in
troduction of oil in large quantities. I
am not favorable to either t he bill or
substitute.”
“There are three points in the sub
stitute reported by the committee,”
said Mr. Gordon, “and it meets all the
requirements of the case. First, the
$12,000 received from fees is too large a
sum. One-lialf is sufficient to compen
sate the inspectors, and the other half
goes into the State Treasury to help
out the educational fund. The work
will be more practically done by separ
ate inspectors. Second, the work can
be done in the six largest cities named
by placing a competent man at each
place. Third, the fee for inspection is
made the same in barrels of 400 gallons
as in the tanks—one-lialf cent per gal
lon. The plicy of the State is to pre
vent monopoly. We propose giving to
those bringing in oil in 400 gallons
equal privileges to the tauks, although
four-fifths come in larger quantities
than 400 gallons. We put the bulk and
the barrel dealer on the same footing.
Mr. Atkinson’s substitute doubles the
fees and adds one-half cent per gallon
cost to the consumer.”
Mr. Schofield called the previous
question, which was sustained. Mr.
Atkinson’s substitute was rejected, the
substitute of the t committee adopted,
and the bill passed by yeas 92. nays 18.
dance than eat. The office of chaperon
seems to be purely a perfunctory one,
fen* the Southern girl knows her world
and needs nobody to guard her. At
all events, the chaperon usually keeps
discreetly out of the way, and her
el large is allowed the most perfect
freedom. This freedom she utilizes in
the most enjoyable manner and with
the wisest discretion. In fact, the t
Southern girl is a most clear-headed as
well as companionable young person,
and takes all the uncommon events of
life, from a torn dress while dancing to
a proposal of marriage with a coolness
bordering on ice cream.
Reunion of the 1st Regiment Georgia
Volunteers and 12th Battalion

securing a full attendance. The circu

In Brief, and to tlie Point.
Dyspe#®h is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
goodnature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to he, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green’s August Flow r er lias done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be'happy.
Remember:—No happiness without
health. But Green’s August Flower

The Southern Girl.
tV hite Sulphur Springs Letter.
The Southern girl is a type peculiar
to the soil. She resembles no other
young lady in the country. In thought, j LARGEST
manner and methods she lias a distinct
personality, and could be picked out
with ease in a multitude. As a rule
she is slender and strong. She is rea
sonably well modeled, a tendency to
tight lacing among tlie traditions of
her people having had its natural effect
to some extent upon the figure. She is
generally good looking and is, as a rule,
high spirited and somewhat self-willed.
She is harder to control than the
Northern girl, and when she makes up
her mind to get married, and her peo
ple object, she usually carries out the
programme if it takes a saddle-horse
and a railroad train to accomplish it.
None the less, however, she is unusu
ally shrewd in determining her choice,
and does not usually make mistakes.
She reads men cleverly, and is herself
somewhat difficult to read.
She dresses well. She is perfectly at
home in a decollete dress and likes it.
