THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 1, UW7. 9 B. LEE SMITH IN RACE; CANDIDATE FROM 4TH Senate to Take Rest Until Next Wed nesday. Borne time during the present week Ipresldent Akin, of the senate, and I Speaker Slaton, of the house, will make I known their appointments on the va- I rlous committees of these two branches I of the general assembly, and with that [preliminary action disposed of, the two [houses will enter upon the real labor | of the session. Until the announcement of the per sonnel of the various committees Is made, nothing can be done In regard to putting bills upon their passage, and only new bills can be Introduced and unimportant matters, which do not re quire the attention of committees, can be acted upon. In the disposition of this Important : matter Speaker Slaton, of the house, has a decided advantage over President Akin, of the senate, Inasmuch as he had no opposition "In his race for the office and knew that this duty would devolve upon him. His wide acquaint ance with the members of the lower , house has aided him considerably in the appointment of his committees, and it la believed that the entire list will be announced early In the week. One Committee Named. The announcement of one commit tee, the committee on privilege and elections, has already been made, on motion of Mr. Hall, of Bibb. This ac tion was taken In order that the matter of tho contested election for represen tative In McIntosh county might be re- ferred to this committee for Immediate action. Hon. Charles Russell, of Mus cogee. heads thls'commlttee. A meeting of this committee wilt probably be held Monday to decide when the claims of Representative Rogers, who holds the seat, and Qeorge Atwood, who claims It, will be heard. In the house considerable Interest centers around the chairmanships of the various committees, and there Is much speculation os to who will be ' to thei Some The greatest Interest centers In tho chairman of tho temperance commit tee. While Speaker Slaton has given no Intimation of what he. Intends to do In this regard. It Is generally be lieved that Mr. Wright, of Floyd, one of the strongest prohibitionists In the house, will head this committee. Representative Hall, of Bibb, will probably head the committee on con stitutional amendments, while Mr. Wright, of Richmond, Is expected to be named chairman of the general judi ciary committee. , Although the house decided to bold a meeting Monday, the senate adjourned Saturday until Wednesday morning. This action was taken because there Is nothing the upper house can do un til tho speaker of the lower houee names his committees. During the ad. Joumment President Akin will arrange his appointments, and the announce ments will probably be made tho latter part of the week. • B. LEE SMITH, OF THE FOURTH.
