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.

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. FINE JEWELRY.
