Is being heard over Georgia, and many persons are awakening to the knowledge that one of the priceless relics of the con flict between the states was about to be sent to the Junk pile and converted Into scrap Iron. There ore many Georgians who re member the old locomotive and since the publication of the story of the "Texas" and Its Impending fate, hun dreds havo visited the yards where the engine awaits Anal orders before being converted into scrap. The "Texas" has been the center of an admiring crowd for several days, and on Sunday the yards were overflowed by the curious. That the Interest Is growing Is shown by several contributions received by Tho Georgian Mondny, to be devoted to saving tho "Texas" from destruction. One of those came from a little boy of 7, Cecil Hussey, who Hit, Just returner, from a visit to Chattanooga, and who saw the "General" In Its place of honor there.

MITCHELL'S BILLS BY SUB-COMMITTEE About $3,500 Still Duo On Georgia Building and Georgia Day. Ann” (Georgian), and for the flrst time In my life 1 learned that It was the "Texas." In the years 1886-87-68-89 I hauled cord wood to the line of the Western and Atlantic railroad at Moores Cross ing, about mid-way between Acworth and Altoona. I was 10 years of age when I flrst began to haul wood to the railroad, which was about a mile dis tant from where the land was being cleared by my father and the wood choppers. They would load the wood on the wagon drawn by a team of oxen, which 1 drove to the railroad, and by lifting one end of a stick of cord wood I was able to roll It off the wagon. In this way I hauled eight or ten loads a day, and during the four years that I was there I hauled about 2,000 or 2,600 cords. My father would go at least once a day to the railroad and cord the wood which 1 had hauled. I neve.* saw a locomotive or any cars until I was 10 years of age, having lived In the n vuntufna of Tennessee and thirty miles from the railroad until that time. So when I began hauling wood to the railroad I soon learned that engines had both names and numbers, as they did at that time. , Knew All the Engines. Every day or so while at the railroad unloading the wood I would see a dif ferent engine from what I had seen be fore, and the numbers and nnmea of those engines are as Indelibly Impress ed on my memory as the multiplication table. For example, there was Gaxelle 38, Oovemor 36, President 37. General 39, Joe Brown 40, Senator 41, Chieftain 42. J. W.

It may be stated authoritatively that unless Important measures now pend ing, conforming to the demands of the Macon platform and the recommenda tions of Governor Smith, are passed at the regular session there will be an ex tra session of the general assembly. Only twelve more working days re main of the session, and the only Im portant measure to pass both branches Is the prohibition measure, which will be signed by the governor Tuesday morning at 10:30 o’clock. It Is the purpose of the governor to compel action on the' Important bills. They must be passed or defeated, and not left without definite action of some kind. Under article V, paragraph 12 of sec tion 1 of the constitution of the state the governor Is given full authority for convoking an extra session: "He shall have power to convoke the general assembly on extraordinary oc casions, but no law shall be enacted at call sessions of the general assembly except such as shall relate to the ob ject stated In his proclamation con vening them." Those close to Governor Smith say that he Is fixed nnd definite In his pur pose to convoke the general assembly in extraordinary session unless pend ing bills are passed or rejected. The senate has dono more toward acting on Important bills than the house. The upper branch has passed the disfranchisement measure, the Candler railroad bill, tho antl-pnss bill, and several other measures of lesser Importance. The senate calendar Is practically cleared, and the time Is largely taken up with house matters now. The houso begins this week to hold dally after noon sessions. General Tax Qusztlon.

The house met at 10 o'clock Monday morning and was led In prayer by Rev. M. J. Cofer.

Mr. Hall, of Bibb, was In favor of re. rring the resolution to the committee on rules. "I never saw the time In my life," said Mr. Hall, “that you could get a quorum In this house at an afternoon session, and we can not put a gr/ieral bill on Its passage at that time. Mr. Candler, or DeKalb, was opposed to referring the resolution to the com mittee on rules and urged Its adoption by the house. The motion of Mr. Hall, that the resolution be referred to the rules com mittee, was lost by a vote of 84 to 44. Mr. Blackburn offered to amend the resolution by fixing the afternoon ses- selon at from 3 o’clock In the after noon until 8 o'clock. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 88 to 48.
