DOUGLAS COUNTV SENTINEL. DOUGLASVILLE. GEORGIA
AGE OF CONSENT
BIO PASSED
Amended Is Make The Age 14 Instead
Of IS As Was Proposed In The
Original Bill
BILL TO LOWtSfOOD PRICES
Senator Andrews Introduced An Anti-
Trust Bill Against Combines In
creasing Cost Of Necessities
Atlanta—
The senate in session passed the
Benate bill to raise the age of consent,
the bill being amended in committee
to make the age of consent 14 years in
stead of 10 years, as was proposed in
the original bill. An amendment to
the bill offered by Senator Field, and
adopted, would authorize the grand
jury to make a violation of this act a
misdemeanor in the discretion of the
grand jury.
The senate passed the bill for the
incorporation of Southwest LaGrange.
Senator Andrews, who early in the
session introduced a resolution provid
ing for a sweeping Investigation of
possible combinations which would In-
c^ase the cost of the necessities of
life, which resolution is now said to
be reposing peacefully in a house com
mittee pigeon hole, introduced an anti
trust bill, which is directed at persons,
firms or corporations which may enter
into any sort of an agreement or com
bine to increase the cost of necessa
ries or to destroy necessaries with a
view to limiting the supply.
The administration of this proposed
law would be placed under the railroad
commission. In other words, at the in
stance of and under the direction of
the governor and with the assistance
of the attorney general, the state rail
road commission is authorized to make
the investigations which Senator An
drews undertook in his resolution to
have made by a committee from the
general assembly, according to Sena
tor Andrews’ interpretation of his new
bill.
Should the railroad commission find
that such a combination exists, action
against such a combination would be
started in the proper courts. A sim
ilar bill was introduced in the house by
Judge Spencer Atkinson, of Fulton.
The bill of Senator Loftin to incor
porate the city of Southwest LaGrange
was the only other bill passed by the
senate.
New Water Source For Atlantans
Due to the alleged critical condition
of Atlanta’s water supply, steps have
been taken by city council looking to
wards a complete renovation of the
method of supplying the city with wa
ter at an approximate cost of eight
million dollars.
The plan calls for furnishing the
city with mountain water by means of
a 4S-inch concrete aqueduct, 60 miles
long, with sufficient gravity pressure
to create greater pressure in Atlanta
than at present maintained by the
waterworks’ big pumping machinery in
the Hemphill avenue station.
Alderman Jonas H. Ewing of the
eighth ward proposed the mountain-
water, gravity-pressure plan, introduc
ing his resolution to have a committee
named to investigate his plan with
the single significant statement that
"unless the proper steps are taken
Borne day Atlanta is going to wake up
and find out that she has no water at
all, for the machinery at the pumping
station, which is old and obsolete, will
have broken down."
Four-Fifths Of Men Physically Fit
Examinations in five of the seven
registration divisions of Atlanta show
ed only one thing conclusively—that
Is, that about four-fifths of the men
eummoned for army service are phy-
Bically fit.
But the indications in regard to
claims to exemption are conflicting.
Two local board chairmen—L. Press
Huddleston, of division No. 2 (Second
ward) and Aldine Chambers, of divi-
Bion No. 3 (Third ward)—believe that
perhaps four out of five, possbly six
out of seven, of the men examined will
be discharged, chiefly because they
are married and have dependent wives
and children.
This would mean that 6,000 tq, 10,000
men will have to be examined to get
Atlanta’s quota of 882 for the national
army. it

Sweet Potatoes In De
mand
The government has at last
added sweet potatoes to the bill
of fare for the army. This is
one of the most palatable and
nutritious foods, scarcely known
outside of the South and its use
by the army will not only add to
the menu of the soldiers an article
they will enjoy but at the same
time create a market for all that
can be grown and put thousands
of dollars into the pockets of
Southern farmers.
Through the initiative of the
market bureau of tbe State Agri
cultural department, Georgia’s
Senators and Representatives
became activ* and now there is
an assured market for the ten
million bushels of sweet pota
toes that will be grown in Geor
gia this’year.

Life Insurance
Is A Necessity
No good business man thinks of do
ing without it. There is no other
way in which you can create an im
mediate estate with so little invested.
You Owe It to your Family
to provide for them in case of your death, and every
young man should carry a policy on which he can get the
money when he needs it.
I have secured the agency of the
Old Reliable Penn Mutual
succeeding Mr. J. R. Duncan, who has resigned, owing to
press of other matters. More Douglas county people are
insured in the Penn Mutual than in all other companies
combined. All kinds of policies for men and women.
A joint life policy for man and -wife or partners in busi
ness payable on the death of either is a most attractive
policy. Come in and let us figure with you or drop us a
line and we’ll come to see you.
