Tim Jab. L. Brown. B It O W N & P A It It O T T Editors and Publihiibkh. S. Parrott. WHAT THH LEGISLATURE DID, and wiiat IT FAN.ED TO DO. The Legislature adjourned Wednes day night, after a turbulent and by no means profitable session ol fifty days, and the members will now have a chance to explain to their constit uents, what they were able to accom plish in the way of useful legislation, and also what they tailed to do. In justice to that body it should be said that much of the time of the session was taken up in disposing of the Mc Lendon matter and in discussing the near-beer Question. For this reason many measures of general interest will have to be carried over to the next ses sion as unfinished business. Among the more important bills that failed of passage were The bill providing for biennial ses sions of the General Assembly. The bill providing for compulsory education. The game law bill. The resolution favoring a Federal income tax. The bill to increase the membership of t,he Governor's staff front fifteen to fifty. The bill to pay a service pension of $(10 per annum to Confederate veterans. The bill to create the office of State Auditor. 'The bill to allow County Hoards of Education to borrow money with which to pay teachers. The bill to create the office of State Veterinarian. The bill to abolish the office of County Treasurer. Among the more important meas ures that passed both Houses were The employers’ liability act, giving employees the right of suit even where yoiiATihutory negligence is shown. The bill to prohibit the issuance of tradng-stamps. The bill providing for a State Board of Osteopathy. Thu bill providing for the election «( Cnu.' ty School Commissioners by t/fe people. The bill designating Feb. 12 as Georgia Day. The resolution appropriating $65,800 for the purchase of railroad terminals near Chattanooga. The hill increasing the tax on man- <fuufurera and sellers of near-beer, viz: Manufacturers and wholesalers, $1,000 per annum; retailors, $1100 per annunv -no near-beer place to be opened wiltside of incorporated towns, nor sold at all in any town oT less than 2,500 population. A resolution providing for a new codification of the laws of Georgia. The bill to allow firemen and police men to ride free on street ears. The bill imposing an annual tax of $1 on all dogs. The appropriation bill for 1910 car ries a total of $4,968,860, and for 1911 something over $5,000,000. The com mon school fund gets $2,250,000 fori 1910, and $2,500,000 for 1911. Reunion of the Young Family. On Saturday, July ill. we met at the home of our sister, Mrs. T. H. Mat tox, and had our annual family reun ion. Mrs. Mattox now owns our fath er's (Jos. Young’s) old home. There were present on this occasion every living descendant except two Mrs. Bessie Lambert, daughter of J. W. Young, and Harry Lee, youngest son of our sister, Mrs. Mary Lee, now de ceased. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Young and daughters, Jes sie, Mabel and Ruth ; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Young and children, Cora, Willie, Mary, Clara, Ethel, Jennie, Joe Rob ert, Sidney and James Lee; Mr. and j Mrs. J. Thompson Young and children, | Nancy, Rose, Sadie and Joe Roland; Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Mattox and chil dren, Bessie, Irene, Mary Jean, Mar tha, Hannah, Young and Wiley: Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Johnson; Mrs. Mary Lee's children, Wideman and Joe Will ; Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Houston and their baby, Mary Elizabeth, the latter being the only great-grandchild. The visitors were Mrs. Kate McKillop, of Homeland, Fla., Mrs. Ira Mattox and son. of Guincy, Fla., Miss Ruth Les ter, of Hope, Ark., Mrs. Tom Mc- Ritchie and children and Master Wm. Askew, of Newnan, Mr. Grier, of Due West, S. C., and Rrof. J. G. I’ressly’s family, and Mrs. T. T. Mattox, of White Oak. The day was one of unalloyed pleas ure to everyone present. Several asked us to give a brief history of our father’s family as far back as we could find any record, and I will give a few of these points here: Our father’s grandfather, Jas. Young, was born in County Downs, Ireland, Aug. 15, 1750, and his wife, Mary Thompson, was born in the same coun ty Feb. 15, 1763. They were married in Ireland Sept. 7, 1773. They emi grated to America in 1774 and settled in Newberry county, S. C., near the town now known as Prosperity. They had eight daughters and four sons. Jas. Young died Sept. 17, 1802, and his wife Nov. 14, 1831. This worthy couple were the ancestors of many of the families of the White Oak community among them the Youngs, Carmicals, Bowers, Russells, Coles, Browns and Walthalls. Abram, eldest son of Jas. and Mary Thompson Young, was our grandfath er, and the only one of this large fam ily of which we will write. He was born in Newberry, S. C., Aug. 9, 1780, He married Mary Ann Carmical. daugh ter of Patrick Carmical and Elizabeth Thompson, Jan. 20, 1802. They had eleven sons and one daughter, our fath er being the youngest child. They moved to Coweta county in 1838 and settled on the lands now owned by their grandchildren, J. W. Young, Mrs. T. H. Mattox, and Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Johnson, Mrs. Mattox owning the old home place. Our father, Jos. Young, was 19 years of age when he moved with his father to Georgia. Two of his brothers, Ab ram, jr., and James, had already moved here, and he and his sister, Elizabeth (afterwards Aunt Betsy Bowers) came with their father, Abram Young, sr. Our grandfather died shortly after coming to Georgia, but our grandmoth er lived many years in the old home with our father, and both lived and died in the home where they first set- Our father was horn July 6, 1819, married Elizabeth Speer June 27, 1850, and died June 28, 1899. . The Young family are of Scotch-lnsh descent, as are most of those from the north counties of Ireland. Some wri ter has said. “If an Irishman is a Presbyterian when lie lands in Ameri ca, he is Scotch-Irish : if he is a Cath olic. he is pure Irish.” Cora Johnson. "The action of Gov. Brown in reap pointing two ol his political opponents as trustees of the State University is in striking contrast to that of his pre decessor, who, it is charged, refused to retain Judge Enoch li. Calloway, of Augusta, because of political differ ences. More than once since his induc tion into office lias the present Execu- WELCOME. Rev. F. J. Amis and Rev. J. F.

Brown in reap pointing last week as Solicitor of the City Court of Newnan a gentleman who opposed him in his race for Gov ernor. lie had a fine record as prose cuting attorney, however, and Gov. Brown waived all partisan considera tions anil reappointed him on bis merits as a tried and capable official. Tifton Gazette: “Two weeks ago the Senate passed a law taking from the Governor the right to remove u Rail road Commissioner from office. A few days later it passed a resolution approv ing the removal of a Railroad Commis sioner by the Governor. If it is to the interest of the people that the Gover nor have this power and use it, then the Senate had no right to take it away from him. If it is against the best in terests of the people that the Gov have and use this power, then the ate did wrong when it approved removal. In any event, the Senat jtands a self-acknowledged body of poli tic ians, ready to do wrong to gratify a prejudice or further individual self-in terest. ’ ’ munity. Mr. and Mrs. G. I..

He is a competent man for the place, and should he accept would give entire satisfaction. The musical given at the home of Mrs. W. F. Culpepper Tuesday evening by the ladies of the Presbyterian I church was a most enjoyable occasion. The readings by Mrs. J. T.

At a called session of conference at the Baptist church last Sunday morning their nastor, Rev. Chas.
