Flood of New Bills,
Then came the flood of new bills,
pouring in as the roll of counties was
called for their introduction. There
were just 258 bills and resolutions,
many of them of a local nature.
The very first bill introduced was
the anti-lobbying bill by Messrs. Tay-
propriation of $5,000 to supply the de
ficiency in the military fund caused by
the Atlanta and Atacon riots, and
asked that an appropriation be made
to care for the 3,000 Confederate graves
at Marietta.
The additional ad interim appoint
ment of Robert I. Shipp as judge of
the City Court of Moultrie was sent in
and confirmed.
Only a few bills were introduced,
among them a bill by Senator Gordy
to make the uniform fee of ordinaries
for issuing a marriage license $2: also
a bill by Senator Knight to amend the
child labor law so as to prohibit the
labor of any child under 12 years in

Immigration officials bora have re

thousand Japanese in Mexico await-

otntes. The news comes from the i time of the material wa
construction camps below Tuxham. on j th* port. That
for the fact that the entire yellow pine
lumber business Is in the throes of an
unprecedented slump all along the line
it is more than probable that the total
for the year 3907 would have eclipsed all
former records, brilliant as they have
proven.
The information used by Superintendent
Purse was gathered from the best of
sources—in fact, from the shippers them
selves, and as he was very painstaking
in his labor of compiling the statistics,
their correctness cannot be questioned.
The average citizen of Savannah was
simply amazed at the business which It
is proved is yearly transacted in this com

fact, while fully aware of the magnitude
of the annual business, did not realize
before this week what a tremendous vol-

The Eyebrows.
The eyebrows should receive as care
ful if not as frequent attention as the
hair. With a bit of cold cream on the
finger-tips rub the eyebrows gently to
loosen any possible dandruff, since they
are often subject to this annoyance.
Then wash them with a mixture of al
cohol and water. Lastly, brush them,
using the little brush on the end of the
nail-file. First brush them straight up
towards the hair, then straight down,
and the line will be fine and well
shaped. If this treatment is used reg
ularly the eyebrows will constantly
grow more beautiful. Brushing up the
