O’KELLEY, Editor and Proprietor, u >v m fill felusSssttl mb As will be seen elsewhere in this issue the city authorities have ordered an election on the school question again on the first Satur¬ day in December. We Lave had occasion to speak often in these columns on the necessity of a pub¬ lic school system for Conyers. We hope our fellow-citizens will tnm out on the election and give the bill the required two-thirds vote. Towns alive to their own interest, are adopting a system every year. Why can't we give our town a boom by doing the same thing? The Industrial Issue of the Ma¬ con* Evening News came to us y. It is simple justice to it is‘a most excellent spec¬ imen of the printer’s and engrav¬ er's arts, and a most forcible pic¬ ture of the beauties and progress of the attractive “Central City.” The publishers of the News have our sincere thanks for this ex¬ quisite piece of art, which is another convincing proof of the excellence of Ins popular paper, one of the best evening papers in Georgia. The Alliance members of the present General Assembly of Georgia held a caucus last night in Atlanta at Concordia Hall, and took action as to the organization of the next legislature. They en¬ dorsed Mr, Clark Howell for speaker of the House, Hon. Paul Trammell speaker pro. tem., and Hon. Mark Hardin clerk of the House. Action concerning the presidency of the Senate was de¬ ferred to the Alliance caucus this morning, when that matter would be arranged also, with quite a number of othsr matters pertain¬ ing to the oaganization of the As¬ sembly. The Laws Are Void There is quite a sensation in all the rural districts of Georgia. At tli© last session o 4 the legis¬ lature there wero passed a great many bills which made a no-fence law for a number of counties. These bills were passed by the legislature without any expression of opinion on the part of the peo¬ ple. The result is that many coun¬ ties weie given a no-fence law that didn’t want it, and which was ruinous expense to the farmers. This was the case iu nearly all iho counties in Southern Georgia, where sheep and cattle grazing is the chief industry, Owners of cattle had to fence in their stock, which transferred a no-fenee law into a fenco fftw. The supreme court came to the rescue of those counties, and de¬ clared that the law is unconstitu¬ tional in every county in which it had not Ct u submitted to tl lG people, but had been passed* py the legislature without any action on the part of the voters. It is claimed by sop je t\ iu t this decision also destroy s everrv spe¬ cial law passed t 0 prevent the sale of intoxicating 1 liquors within a ceitai'i distance of churches, etc. However this may he, the fence law is agitating the farmers very much, and there will be several bills before the present session to remedy the defective legislation. A bill is being prepared, and will be offered at the first oppor¬ tunity, to make the no fence law a general law so that any county that wants it can adopt it, by pop¬ ular vote. This would place it in the same class of laws as the local option bill. It offered, the bill will pass practically without opposition.— Atlanta Journal.
