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 REORGANIZED BY NEW DIRECTORS The reorganization of the Ship pers Compress company, one of the concerns involved in the finan cial difficulties of/R. F. Willingham, of Macon, was effected at a meet ing Wednesday morning in Atlanta, so that, It was stated, it is expected the pompany will soon be doing bus iness usual. The stockholders of the company met In Macon Tuesday and named new directors. These directors met Wednesday morning in Atlanta and elected temporary officers and a temporary finance and executive committee. John A. Manget, of the firm of Manget Bros., cotton brokers, was elected temporary president. A. P. Coles, J. J. Williamson, Frank Bar rett, George Strickland and D. T. Manget were elected to the tempo rary finance and executive commit tee. *~At the close of the meeting John Manget stated that a friend of the cotton Interests had offered $250,- 000 toward refinancing the company, provided the stockholders will raise $150,000 and provided that the banks to whom the company is indebted will grant an extension of time on certain notes of the company which they hold. The $150,000 asked of the stock holders has been raised, according to Mr. Manget, and if the banks agree to grant an extension the com pany will continue business as usual forthwith, said Mr. Manget. Headquarters of the company have been moved to Atlanta, and Its per manent offices will soon be estab lished here. STOCKHOLDERS CHOOSE DIRECTORS IN MACON MACON, Ga., Aug. 4. —The stock holders of the Shippers’ Compress, in which R. F. Willingham was inter ested, meeting here Tuesday after noon, elected a new set of directors, composed mostly of Atlanta business men and voted to remove headquar ters of the concern to Atlanta. Con fidence was expressed in their ability to keep the company in operation un der practically normal conditions. A meeting of the new directors was called for Wednesday in Atlanta. The new directors are A. P. Coles, Atlanta; T. E. Fugate, vice presi dent and general manager of the Shippers’ Compress company, Ma con; D. T.

The canning company and the Willingham warehouse are the only concernins in which Mr. Wil lingham owned the largest Interests, 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.

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. Warm Climate Conserves Life “Warmth is life,” he says. “There 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.” GALLSTONE TROUBLES A new booklet written by Dr. E.

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 old.

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. Girl on Horseback To Cross Continent ST.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1920 August 16 Set as 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.
