POLITICS
JAMES B.NEVTN
Commissioner of Commerce and
I^abor H. M. Stanley is spending a
few days at home, enjoying a much-
needed and well-deserved rest from
his official duties.
The Commissioner is well please**
with the wor* of his department,
which is relatively a youngster ampng
the other departments, and talks most
interestineiv of the same.
Discussing the year’s labors before
leaving for home, Commissioner
Stanley said:
“Already a great deal of statistical
matter concerning the industrial re
sources of the State, which has nev
er before been compiled, has been dis
seminated, and as the department
grows this work will increase and
much valuable information will be
prepared and distributed.
“The department lias accomplished
a great work in seeing that the laws
regarding the employment of women
and children are complied with. The
act creating this department makes
it my duty to aee that these laws are
enforced.
“When 1 took charge of the office
the law requiring mercantile and
manufacturing establishments to fur
nish seats to their female employees
was a dead letter, and had been for
more than twenty years. This law is
now being enforced. The large de
partment stores in the city h#.ve al
ready provided seats for their female
employees, and we now are looking
after the enforcement of the law in
the smaller cities and towns.
“J have begun work on tlie second
annual report to the Governor and it
will make an even better showing
than the one issued for the year end
ing December 31 of last year.”
President J. Randolph Anderson,
ex-officio Lieutenant Governor of
Georgia, is improving rapidly from
an operation for appendicitis, which
took place in Savannah Monday.
His physicians say that he will be
out within the next two weeks.
Representative-elect Thomas Car
roll, of Catoosa, named to succeed
Representative Bryan, deceased, fur
nishes a fine example of the virtue of
keeping everlastingly at it!
He has been a candidate for the
House regularly for some 30 years,
and never before has won out. He
lias been a perpetually willing sacri
fice fir principle’s sake, however, and
has not grown weary in well doing, as
he managed to see things. „
He accumulated a large “hunch”
several years ag > that sooner or lat
er he was to serve a term in the
Georgia Legislature, and he never has
been able to shake himself loose from
that “hunch,” despite his varied as
sortment of Waterloos.
And now—well, he is Representa
tive-elect, at last, and he will be
sworn in next summer, “if he lives
land nothing happens!”
Mr. Carroll is a popular and able
man, and his friends predict for him
a useful career in the House.
The chartering of the State Pecan
Bank, in Baconton. makes the nine
teenth State bank organized and
started in business this year.
On December 10 last year there
had been chartered and started in
business exactly 30 State banks—a
number so far ahead of this year’s
record that it will not be equaled even
approximately.
This has not been as good a year as
iast for organizing banks—that much
is evidci but it has been an ex
ceeding .osperous year in Georgia,
neverthvlc&b.
The joint Legislative Committee of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, which
is to-day looking over the State's fine
terminal property in Chattanooga with a
view to making recommendations as to
the forthcoming re lease of the road,
has no power to make binding reports.
AY hat it may have to say to .the Leg
islature next summer will be merely
advisory, and in no way mandatory.
The road will not be disposed of as
to its future by the present Legislature
—nor, perhaps, by the next. It is hoped
that the way may be cleared up com
pletely, however, for the Legislature that
does act finally, as to what terms shall
govern the re-lease of the road.
This property is the biggest asset the
State has, of course. Tt is worth to
day many times what it cost, and will
continue to enhance in value as the
years go by. There is no doubt what
ever that it will be re leased -if it is dis
posed of that way, which seems most
likely—upon terms far more advanta
geous to the State than the present con
tract.
The fund arising from the rent of this
road goes to the common school fund,
and -hence the Legislature will be par
ticularly careful to make it produce the
maximum of revenue.
Judge Moses Wright, of the Rome Su
perlor Court circuit, who is a mighty
hunter, recently had a most harrowing
experience in Alabama.
The Judge heard there was some tine
j bird shooting to be had in that State,
and as it is only a few miles from his |
home in Floyd ’to the Alabama line, he .
finally got his consent to pay the re
quired 513 hunting license in Alabama,
and hied him forth to hunt. He had
fine luck, too, and killed a big bag.
When he started home with his Kill,
however, lie suddenly recollected that
he couldn’t carry those birds into Geor
gia and not violate the law' Being a
judge, he couldn’t afford to violate the
law, no matter how great the tempta
tion. Besides, there was a companion
hunter along who might tell. I! was not
long until train time, moreover—-and so,
there was nothing to it but to give all
those fine birds away and give them
away in Alabama, at that!
Judge Wright will now sell his $13
Alabama hunting license for $3.49, if
anybody wants to buy it!
Norman Hackett
To Play Stock Here
A stock company headed by Nor-
rca.ii Hackett probably will open at
the Lyric Theater after two more
weeks of road shows, according to an
n nn ounce me •■it made Thursday by
Hugh Cardoza, manager of the‘house.
Emma Bunting will come to the Lyric
next, week and the following week
there will be another road show. Then
Hackett will be here, and unless first-
class road companies can be booked
Hackett probably will remain in At
lanta at the head of the company in
fcitcck.
It is understood'that the change
i from road shows to stock companies
will be made in several of the Jake
Wells theaters in the South, owing to
the lack of good road productions.
Swaps Chunk of Ice

COLUMBUS, Dec. 11.—John Rich
ards, a negro delivery man for an
