No Reapportionment of
Members of Legislature
Likely Until Next Year
It now is considered probable that
there will be no reapportionment of
members of the general assembly of
Georgia until 1921, after the official
report of the 1920 census has been
promulgated. An opinion rendered
by Assistant Attorney General Gra
ham Wright, coupled with a letter
written to Governor Dorsey by Sam
L. Rogers, director of the census,
combine to Influence the general as
sembly to delay the reapportionment
until next year.
The opinion was rendered by the
assistant attorney general at the re
quest of Representative W. A. Cov
ington, of Colquitt, who had intended
to Introduce a reapportionment reso
lution under which Colquitt county
- would be given two representatives
Instead of one as at present. Mr.
Wright holds to the view that there
is no precedent for making a reap
portionment in a census year, but
rather during the year immediately
following the announcement of the
census returns for the entire coun
try- He also states that the report
thus far received from the director
of the census Indicates that It Is In
complete and. “possibly subject to
correction.”
The opinion of the assistant attor
ney general follows:
Xiegal Opinion
Hon. W. A. Covington. House of Kepre
sentatives. State Capitol—Dear Sir: In com
pliance with your request for an opinion as
to the reapportionment of the representa
tives of the general assembly by the present
•ession of the legislature, I have carefully
gone into the question involved in this mat
ter and have reached the following conclu
sions:
Article 3, section 3, paragraph 2, of the
constitution of the state of Georgia pro
vides that the apportionment of the repre
sentation In the house shall be changed by
the general assembly at Its first session
after each census taken by the United States
government.
The census act Os congress of 1919 makes
no provision as to when the census shall be
completed and take effect, other than that
it should be completed within three years
from the first day of July, 1919. The gen
eral rule appears to be that in the absence
of a time specified when a census shall
take effect the same takes effect from the
date of the official publication of the result
of such census by the officer or bureau
charged with the duty of taking same. (See
volume 17, Corpus Juris, page 71.)
I am, therefore, of the opinion that the
present legislature or the state of Georgia
is not authorised to reapportion the repre
sentatives in the house upon any preliminary
report of the director of the census, but
that the first session of the legislature of
the state of Georgia after the completed and
official report of this bureau is the “first
session” of the general assembly within
the meaning of the constitutional provision
above quoted.
This opinion Is borne out by the fact that
the reapportionment was made after the
previous census In the years 1901 and 1911,
and not 1900 and 1910.
I trust that this answers your Inquiry
fully and I am returning herewith the let
ter of Mr. Rogers, which you left with me.
I am also furnishing the governor with a
copy of this opinion at your request. Very
respectfully yours,
(Signed) GRAHAM WRFGHT,
Assistant Attorney General.
List of Counties
As at present indicated, the coun
ties entitled to three representatives
each on the reapportionment are Ful
ton, Chatham. Bibb, Muscogee, Rich
mond and DeKalb. This means that
DeKalb county displaces Floyd in the
“big six” list. ‘The next twenty-six
counties entitled to two representa
tives each are Floyd, Gwinnett, Hall,
Lowndes, Meriwether, Bulloch. Bar
tow. Burke, Clarke. Carroll, Colquitt,
Cobb. Mitchell, Sumter. Thomas,
Troun. Ware, Walton. Washington,
Brooks. Coweta, Emanuel, Jackson,
Laurens. Elbert and Worth. ,411 the
remaining counties of the state will
be given one representative each.
Colquitt, Mitchell and Worth coun
ties have apparently displaced De
catur. Houston and 'Wilkes counties
in the list of those entitled to two
representatives. But for the fact
that Seminole county has been cut
from a portion of Decatur county,
thus reducing its population. Deca
tur would have retained its place in
the list of twenty-six.
There have been suggestions that
the constitution be amended so as to
give the three largest counties four
representatives each, to the next six
largest counties three representatives
each, to the next twenty-six largest
counties, two representatives each,
and to the remaining counties, one
representative each. Under such a
system, Floyd. Laurens and Troup
counties would get three representa
tives.
The population of Georgia, bv
counties, for 1920, compared with
1910. Is as follows:

MACON, Ga., Aug. 4. —The stock

and they are the only ones that will
be seriously involved as a result of
his difficulties, it is said.
Attempt to Remove
3 Trustees From G. N. I.
Board Brings on Fight
What promises to develop a hot
contest on the floor of the house of
representatives resulted from a de
cision reached Wednesday afternoon
by the house committee on the Uni
versity of Georgia to report adverse
ly a bill to remove from the board
of trustees of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial College the three trus
tees appointed from the general uni
versity board.
The vote’ on the report was 11 to
22 after a lengthy discussion in
which Represenatitve Alfriend, of
Baldwin, Chancellor David C. Barrow
and others participated. Mr. Alfriend
and Mr. Davis, of Floyd county cast
the onlv two votes for the measure.'
The bill already has passed the
senate and its advocates have indi
cated their intention to bring in a
minority report so that the whote
matter can be threshed out on the
floor of the house.
It is charged that since the ap
pointment of three general board
trustees to the board of G. N. I. C.,
great friction has developed between
the trustees and the faculty of the
institution, resulting in complica
tions embarrassing to all parties con
cerned and to the best interests of
the college.
$25,000 Is Voted
For Extermination of
Plague Infested Rats
A bill appropriating $225,000 to the
state health department to be used
if necessary in the extermination of
the Bubonic plague rat was introduc
ed Wednesday afternoon in the house
by. Representatives Eve and Falli
gant, of Chatham; Clinch, of Mc-
Intosh, and Atkinson, of Camden.
Scattering cases of Bubonic plague
have appeared in various cities on
the Gulf of Mexico. The Savannah
health authorities, like those in all
coast cities on the South Atlantic and
Gulf seaboards, are exercising the
utmost vigilance to prevept the Bu
bonic plague rats from coming
ashore from ships in port. It is be
lieved by the authorities that the
plague is disseminated only by these
rates, which are different from the
usual wharf rats.
The object of the proposed ap
propriation is to place in the hands
of the state health authorities a
fund which would be adequate to
meet any possible emergency. If the
money was not needed, it would not
be drawn from the treasury.
Argonne Drive Obiected
To as Street Name
Having heard that there is some
objection to the action of city coun
cil, taken last Monday, in changing
the name of Bedford place, between
Forrest avenue and Tenth street, to
“Argonne drive,” Mayor Pro Tem
Harvey Hatcher has announced that
he will withhold his approval of the
ordinance until 3:30 o’clock Friday
afternoon.
Those opposing the new name for
Bedford place are invited to make
known their objections to Mr.
Hatcher before that time. If no
objections, or insufficient objections
are expressed before Friday after
noon, the ordinance will be approved,
and “Bedford place” will become “Ar
gonne drive.”
Novel Handbags
LONDON, Eng.—Novel ideas in
handbags are now the rage. One ac
tress has a bag with cherries sewn
on it so closely that It resembles a
large hanging bunch of fruit. One
evening bag carried by a society
matron was a mass of soft, pink
plumes, and another of finer feathers
with shorter barbs.
Man Should Live to
Age of 150 or 200,
Says Frisco Doctor
SAN FRANCISCO.—“The years of
man shall be three score and ten, or
if by reason of great strength, four
score,” says the Bible.
“Man should live to be between
150 and 200 years old,” says Dr.
Marion Thrasher, San Francisco phy
sician, who has just compiled a
wealth of data showing that “man
doesn’t die, but kills himself.”
“ ‘A short life and a merry one,’ is
the ranting boast of a fool,” says Dr.
Thrasher, who is a very young old
man himself. “Why this marvelous
mechanism combining God-like in
telligerice and a beauty that sculptors
have failed to imitate should be ruth
lessly destroyed is one of the won
ders of creation.
Three Million Always Sick
“Wild animals, except for acci
dent or the chase, live out their al
loted time; one man in a million
does.
“At all times there are 3,000,000
people seriously 111 in the United
States. There is no doubt that at
least 2,000,000 could be saved from
sickness by simple common sense.
“Wars, worry, alcohol, tobacco,
meat, gluttony, over-work and cold
climate are called by Dr. Thrasher
the greatest life destroyers.
“Meat is a poisoner. Meat-eating
Indians live to be sixty and nut ana
maise-eating ones to 125 and even
185 years of age.
Lazy People Live Longest
“Worry is a big factor. Almshouses
are repositories of very old people,
because here the worry of making
a living is removed. Lazy people
live longest. Very few centenarians
are rich men.
“The only proper drinks for man
are waer and mlk,” says Dr. Thrash
er, “while sour milk and buttermilk
have well earned their reputations as
destroyers of old-age bacilli.

JUDGES BILL IS
KILLED BY VIVA
VOCE HOUSE VOTE
By a viva voce vote the house of
representatives on Wednesday killed
the bill by Mr. Strozler, of Bibb, to
amend the constitution so as to pro
vide for the appointment of all
judges by the governor in place of
the present system of electing judges
by the people.
Representative Strozler delivered a
very able and eloquent argument in
support of the bill. His contention
was that the popular election of
judges has thrown the entire ju
diciary into politics, and instead of
being an extension of democracy it
is an extension of socialism. Repre
sentative Co.cnran, of Bibb, and Rep
resentative ’Covington, of Colquitt,
spoke against the bill.
The bill was defeated by dis
agreeing to the favorable report of
the constitutional amendments com
mittee.
The house passed after extended
debate the bill by Mr. Carswell, of
Wilkinson, to amend the constitution
so as to authorize appropriations for
higher education, which appropria
tions are now limited by the con
stitution to “donations” to the Uni
versity of Georgia.
The bill as introduced authorized
appropriations to colleges, normal
schools and high schools. The house
adopted, however, before passing the
bill an amendment limiting its pro
visions to high schools. This was
not satisfactory to the supporters
of the bill, but was accepted by them
as a compromise in the hope of re
storing the original provisions of
the bill when it reaches the senate.
The house on Wednesday passed
a bill by Mr. Stovall, of McDuffie,
reducing from $1,990 to S6OO the
pro-rata share of McDuffie county
in the payment of the salary cf the
solicitor general of the Augusta cir
cuit; a bill by Mr. Law, of Burke
county, to increase the salary of
the deputy insurance commissioner
from $3,000 to $4,000 a year; and a
bill by Mr. Neill, of Muscogee, and
others to provide for the printing of
the supreme court reports by con
tract after competitive bids had been
submitted instead of by the state
printer, as at present.
Local Bills Passed
The following local bills were pass
ed by the house on Wednesday.
To prohibit hunting or trapping
of fox in Greene county.
To fix salary of Wheeler county
treasurer.
To revise tajx levy In town of
Doerun.
To extend city limits of Athens.
To provide that fines paid for vio
lation of Chatham county ordinances
shall go into the Savannah city treas
ury for support of municipal court.
To ’ create county depository for
Atkinson county.
To authorize additional school tax
levy in Cornelia.
To amend Madison city charter.
Wife Asks Judge to
Halt Hubby’s Kisses
NEW YORK.—Magistrate James T.
O’Neill, Brooklyn, has committed Ed
ward A. Stoddart, thirty years old,
veteran of the One Hundred and Six
ty-fifth infantry, to the observation
ward at King’s County hospital, be
cause he kissed his wife too much.
His wife was complainant, and
when men in the courtroom looked
on her, more than one opined that he
didn’t blame Stoddart. A pretty little
woman is Mrs. Stoddart.
“Your honor,” she said to Magis
trate O’Neill, “he was killing me with
kisses and love. He kissed on the
street, in church, at home, I counted
300 kisses last Monday, and the good
Lord only knows how many on Sun
day. He kissed me until I felt I
was dying and then he wanted me
to smile.” „ , „
“A strange world, soliloquized the
court. “Most women protest because
their husbands do not kiss them
enough.”

In advertising California as the
home of the longest-lived creatures,
Dr. .Thrasher has reams of figures.
He shows that Indians live to be
sixty in other states and 140 years
here. Even the flora live longest,
California having trees 8,000 years

$1,000,000 Available
To Okla. Farmers
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—Approx
imately $1,000,000 is available for the
purchase of farms by citizens of
Oklahoma under the provisions of the
home loan act passed by the 1919
legislature, which became effective
July 1. More than 8,000 requests for
blanks to apply for loans have been
received, according to E. P. Bryan,
assistant secretary to the commis
sioners of the land office.
The act is limited to persons who
have been residents of the state for
two years or more and who are not
the owners of more than forty acres
of land. From the home loan fund
of $250,000 appropriated by the legis
lature the maximum loan is $2,000.
A loan not exceeding 50 per cent of
the value of the farm to be pur
chased, however, can be made from
the “New College Fund.” Supple
menting the home loan fund is a
fund to be paid by the state corpora
tion commission, consisting of re
funds for overcharges by express
companies escheated to the state.
County committees will pass upon
all requests for loans. Notes run for
twenty years, bearing 4 per cent in
terest, the act provides. The amount
of land to be purchased by a single
person under the home loan act is
limited to 160 acres.

Limit for Entries '
In Congress Race
Candidates for congress from the
Fifth congressional district must
pay the entrance fee and file their
formal announcements not later than
August 16, it was decided by the
congressional executive committee at
a meeting Wednesday in the office of
Chairman J. Howell Green in the
Hurt building.
The committee voted to continue
in force practically the same rules
which have governed congressional
nominations in the Fifth district in
past elections.
Under the rules ratified by the
committee for the primary of Sep
tember 8, the candidate receiving a
plurality of votes in each county
primary shall be entitled to name
delegates from that county to the
district convention to be held in the
senate chamber of the state capitol
on September 18, and these delegates
will be Instructed to vote for him.
Each county will be allowed twice
as many delegates as it has repre
sentatives in the lower house of the
general assembly.
When the delegates In the dis
trict convention are organized, the
first ballot will be taken, and if no
candidate receives a majority of the
county unit votes, all instructions to
delegates will be canceled, and they
will then proceed to ballot until a
nomination is made. If. at the end
of two days no candidate has been
nominated, that candidate who had
a plurality of county unit votes on
the first convention ballot, provided
he also had a plurality of the popu
lar vote in the district, will be de*
dared the nominee.
In the event the candidate witdi
the plurality of county unit votift
did not receive a plurality of the
popular votes, a run-over election
will be necessary if the convention
fails to nominate a candidate after
two days’ balloting. The rules adopt
ed provide that this run-over shall
be held at any time fixed by the
convention between the two candi
dates with the highest number of
Instructed county unit votes. If any
candidate receives a majority of the
popular rotes in any county in the
first election, there shall be no run
over in that county, and its dele
gates shall serve in the second con
vention.

ecutive committee who attended
Wednesday’s meeting were: J. How
