LEGISLATIVE NOTES
AND CAPITOL NEWS
Knur propositions have been made
the state to locate the new governor's
mansion in four different parts of At
lanta. It will he interesting to see
whether politics plays any part in the
location. The special committee of the
last legislature on the mansion matter
m-nded a site In Druid Hills, r
Governor Hoke Smith o<
about 500 acres of land. The Peachtree
Heights Company has offered a free
pffe In Teach tree road, near the home
of John M. Slaton, president of the sen
ate. Another proposition is to buy the
old Julius Brown home in Waahlngton-
. which is now' owned by ex-Governor
Joseph M. Brown. The fourth propo*
sition la to sell the state a house nnd
lot at Ponce DeLeon-ave. and Junlper-
*t.. Just a block or two from ex-Sen-
ator Joseph M. Terrell’s Junlper-st.
home. Wherever tho mansion goes It
Is naturally expected to Increase ad
jacent property values.
Congressional reapportionment will
enrage the attention of the house re-
spportlonment committee probably this
week. The committee will go over tho
proposition of dividing Georgia Into
twelve Instead of eleven congressional
districts, to meet the provisions of the
national reapportionment measure that
has already passed the national house
and Is set for passage In the United
States senate on August 3. The Idea
Is to have a bill ready to *ush thru Im
mediately after the Federal measure Is
enacted.
This week a state senatorial reap-
portlonment measure will be Introduced
In the senate, rearranging the state Into
44 districts, the number now author
ised by the constitution. In the house
a bill hna already been proposed to
amend the constitution increasing the
senate to 60 members.
Bleckley county, which It Is proposed
to create out of the north half of Pu
laski county, met a better fate before
the house committee on constitutional
amendments at the hearing Monday
afternoon than was accorded Evans
county last week. The committee de
cided to recommend this measure for
passage. People from Cochran and vi
cinity appeared In behalf of the new
county. Hawkinsvllle people were pres
ent to oppose It. The committee voted
10 to 7 In favor of Bleckley.
.The state department of agriculture
will endeavor again this session of the
legislature to secure the passage of the
measure that has previously been ad
vocated to give the state food Inspec
tor more authority to enforce sanitary
regulations In places where articles for
human consumption are manufactured
and served. The bill would give Juris
diction over bakeries, candy factories,
canning factories, preserving plants,
meat markets, fish markets, vegetable
markets, groceries, confectioneries, soda
fountains, hotels, restaurants, lunch
rooms and tho like.
Governor Hoke Smith, on Monday
night, gave the first of the three re
ceptions he has arranged for members
of the legislature and state house of
ficers. South Georgians were the
guests. On Tuesday night the governor
will receive those from middle Georgia.
North Georgians will be the guests on
Wednesday night. These receptions, all
of which are Informal, are being given
Milton, in the house Monday morning.
It Is in the nature of an amendment to
the Arbor day exercises already pro
vided for by legislation. The bill re
quires the consideration of birds as well
as trees on the paft of the schools or
the state and is called “Arbor and Bird
day” bill. It makes it incumbent upon
the stato authorities to provide for ex
ercises each year showing not only
the value of tree planting and forestry,
but also the worth of birds to the farm
ers of the state and to the people gen
erally. It is Intended to bring to the
attention of pupils, teachers and the
people the worth of birds not only as
Insect destroyer and on account of the
pleasure they give, but also bring out
their value as the farmers’ best friends.
The bill was Introduced by Repre
sentative Bell after consultation wUh
the state school commissioner and Hon.
G. D. Rucker, of Alpharetta. Mr. Bell
is an old teacher and Is at present a
farmer and will press the passage of
this bill for reasons stated above.
The bill further provides the change
in time for holding Arbor day exercises
from December to February, this being
the best season In Georgia for the
planting of trees.

The South’s Greatest Clothing and Shoe Store Is Making
Preparations for a Sale That Will Break All Previous
Records.
When the remodeled and- greatly en
larged establishment of the McConnell
Shoe and Clothing Company wae opened

nounced that thla house intended to be
“The South’s Greatest Clothing and
Shoe store" In every way) carrying the
largest • toe Ice, offering the beet value*
and giving It* cuatomers mo*t satlsfac-

That thla premise ha* been fully lived
U P to Is attested by the constantly In
creasing patronage that the McConnell
store enjoy*.
With larger ground floor space than
any other clothing store In this part of
no country and an Immense force of
competent salesmen, there have been
many days this season when the store
**" crowded to Its limit and every
salesman waiting upon more than one
customer.
Rll ch .has been the success of this
*roat business establishment that,many
"plicate orders have been sent to man-
. seturers this season, and the stocks
n .very line have been replenlehed and
"*Pt comply,.
Mr. Mcfonnell himself made a special
r P to York and other Eastern
* el * recently for the purpose of
"lining In” broken lines and Incom
plete assortments and found manufac-
tdrera anxious to dispose o£ surplus
stocks st prices so low sa to be Irre
sistible.
, Notwithstanding the fact that he al
ready had tremendous stocks, Mr. Me
Connell made large purchases of men's
and boys' clothing at these great reduc
tions, and these purchases have Just
arrived.
“ The McConnell store Is, therefore. In
position to "put on" a remarkable sale
of men's and boys' clothing, hate, shoes
and furnishings and Is preparing to In
augurate a trade event never before at
tempted In Atlanta or the South.
The plans have been looked over and
and approved by the management and
work on store displays and advertising
has been going on for several days.
Many unique features will give this
sale a prominent place In trade history.
The McConnell store will be closed all
day tomorrow so that final prepara
tions for the sale can be made; and
Thursday morning at g o'clock the sale
will begin.
Big display advertisement* have been
prepared and will appear In tomorrow’s
papers giving full details of the sale.

that the cholera scare has resulted In
a stoppage of Immigration was shown
today when the Italian liner Sangorlglo,

Bermudez, a cholera patient, now on
Swinburne Island, and who Is III with
symptoms resembling Asiatic cholera.
Altho Hermann became sick yesterday
afternoon, hla symptoms had not de
veloped sufficiently to enable the phy
sicians to determine to their own sat
isfaction the nature of the Illness. They
declare that It usually required 24 hours
for a cholera rase to manifest Itself.
Cultures taken from Herrmann were
examined by apeclallats who said they
would make a report ns soon as possi
ble. Herrmann has been Isolated and
will be removed to Swinburne Island If
It Is found he has the cholera.
The reporta from Hoffman Island and
Swinburne Island hoapltala this morn
ing were encouraging aa regards the
cholera situation. Tho patients there
are progressing favorably. At Hoffman
Island conditions are greatly Improved.

SUNDAY SWITCH LAW
HADN’T BEEN BROKEN
An erroneous Impression amon* the
authorities that the city’s Sunday law
had been amended so as to prohibit the
swltrhlns of freight trains In the yards
between the hours of 10 o'clock In the
morning and 2 o'clock In tbe afternoon,
raused J. 8. 8troupe, s conductor for
the Beaboard Air Line railroad, to ap
pear Tuesday morning In police court.
When as assiduous search of the city
laws, however, disclosed the fact that
no such amendment had been pnased.
Recorder Broyles dismissed tho rase.
It later developed that tho Impres
sion thnt the law had been amended
came from the fact that several yeara
ago the railroads and railroad orders
entered Into an agreement, under which
It was specified that no swltrhlng
should bo done on Rundays between
the hours of to nnd 2. The city law
specifies the hours of 11 and 1.
Stroup* was found al work In the
yarde by Policeman Dodd shortly after
I o'clock. The matter was reported to
the officer by several railroad men, who
explained that Stroupe was switching 1
cars within the forbidden limit.
Both Judge Broyles and the pollca
thought the law hod been amended, but
It won found that Stroupe was working
Just within the limit prescribed by law
and accordingly was not fined. The
recorder held he had no right to Impooe
a fine for violation of a mere agree
ment.
