"ERE.
The
Legislature
will adjourn
one
week
from to morrow, and in re
view-
mg the proceedings
it is apparent
that
very
little has been
accomplished
since
the session began,
forty-three
days
ago.
No measures
of general import-
nnce
have been enacted thus In
ir, al
though the calendar shows a
large
numl
ier of laws in
protoplastic
form.
But
the process <:
if gestation
Heems
painful and protra
clod, and the
pros-
peels
are that few 1
fills that wer
e ex-
pee to
d to "save the
country” and
make
fame
for the buddi
ing statesmen
i who
originated them, will reach the final
stage in the alow routine of legislative!
deliberation. Indeed, with the excep
tion of the tax act, the appropriation
bill, and ' the usual number of local
measures, it may he said that the pres
ent General Assembly has accomplished
nothing. Measures of general interest
doomed to failure at this session are
The compulsory education bill.
The bill to repeal the infamous reg
istration law passed last year.
The bill to reduce the number of
Railroad Commissioners from live to
three.
The bill to tax dogs.
The bill providing for a Constitu
tional Convention.
The bill to prohibit the sale of near-
beer.
That* bill providing for a new codifi
cation off the laws of Georgia.
The billli to prohibit women from rid
ing a-straddle.
And numerous and sundry other
measures — all interesting, perhaps,
but generally needless.
The suspension of Chairman McLen
don, of the Railroad Commission, lias
taken up a good deal of the time of
the session, and will consume other
valuable hours before the matter is
disposed of if at all. A resolution de
claring the reasons assigned by Gov.
Simth for Chairman McLendon’s sus-
ponaion to be insufficient, etc., was de
feated in the Senate yesterday by a
vote of M t’O' 16. The question of sus-
Stwpiing Gov. Smith’s action was sched
uled to come up in the Senate this
morning, and if the members should
lino up as they did yesterday the order
of suspension will be sustained, so far
as the Upper House is concerned. The
matter will then he taken up in the
House, where it is said the Senate res
olution will he adopted overwhelming
ly—unless the House should conclude
lo institute impeachment proceedings
against McLendon, in which case the
Senate resolution approving the order
sf suspension will he temporarily
tabled. If the matter should take
ibis turn it will be necessary to hold
an extra session for the purpose of
trying McLendon on the impeachment
charges preferred by the House. In
this case, again, the Senate would sit
as a Court of Impeachment, and Mc
Lendon would remain out of office until
a finding was rendered clearing him of
ihe charges.

Newnan Negro Gets Shot at Milner.
Milner, Ga., July 23.—At 3 o’clock
this morning Marshal Sims accosted a
suspicious negro on the streets, where
upon the negro began to curse and
abuse the marshal, and jumped behind
a tree and commenced to tight.
Sims emptied his pistol at the negro
and closed in on him. when the latter
struck him on the shoulder with a piece
of scantling, breaking the shoulder-
bone. The negro was finally overpow
ered and is in the lock-up with a bullet
hole through the thigh, the only shot
taking effect. He gives his name as
Willie Stallings, 25 years old, is black,
and weighs 150 pounds. He says he is
from Newnan. and had lived with Mr.
Joe Gibson, of that place. The only
explanation given for his conduct was
that he was crazy and had tramped all
night.
It is believed he got into mischief
somewhere else, and was tleeing.
The Walthall Reunion.
The family reunion of the childret of
the late Leonard N. Walthall, whickis
held each year, occurred last Saturffiy
at the beautiful country home of !fr.
T. II. Carmical, near Moreland, ifho
now owns the old Walthall homesbid.
This property has been in the faitily
for three generations. Mrs. T. ill.
Carmical, Mrs. 1. VV. McDonald of
Sharpsburg, J. E. Walthall and W N.
Walthall of White Oak, L. B. Walthall
of Wrens, Ga., and Mrs. Lilia Cjmp 1
and Mrs. J. L. Camp of Newnan, (jtm-
prise this interesting family, ali of
whom were present with their fimi-
lics, except Mrs. Lilia Camp land
daughter, Uris, and Mrs. J. L. Canlp of
Newnan, and Mrs. I.. Ii. Walthall a(id K.
A. McDonald of Atlanta, whose duties
kept them away. They were greitly
missed.
Of the twenty-three children in these
families Rev. <). W. Carmical is the
eldest, and little Miss Corry Walthall
the youngest. Ollie, as he is familiar
ly known, has recently completed a
course at Princeton Seminary, and is
now at home taking a much-needec
rest.
An honored guest of the occasiot
was Mrs. Anzora Brooks, of Cedar
town, the youngest sister of Leonarc
Walthall, and the only living membei
of that large family. Although Mrs.
Brooks is growing old in years, there
was no one present whose step was
more elastic, whose laugh was more
joyous, or whose repartee was more
ready. She is the living embodiment
of the old axiom that “we are just as
old as we feel. ”
Another honored guest was Uncle
Geo. E. Young, of Newnan, who, it
will be remembered, married Miss
Martha Walthall. Uncle George is
now the oldest member of a large body
relatives, and is hale'and hearty.
Among the other guests were Miss
Onita Askew of Sparks, Ga., R. E.
Brooks of Cedartown, Miss Olivia
Young of Newnan, Mrs. Mary Jane
Car/nical, Jas. Bowers and Lawson
Chestnut of White Oak.
Dinner was served beneath ancestral
trees, and the table fairly groaned un
der its burden of good things to eat.
The menu consisted of barbecued meats,
Brunswick stew, home-made light-
bread, pickles and cakes. No menu
could have been more tempting, and
those present attested their approval
by the heartiness with which they ate,
the only regret being that they could
eat no more.
It is our wish that those who were
absent this year will be present at the
next reunion, and that they may have
an unbroken family circle for many
years to come. A Guest. B8
