Discussing the year’s labors before having for home. Commissioner Stanley aald; “Already a great deal of statistical matter concerning the Industrial re- sourafts of the Stute, which ha* 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 has 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 mv duty to uee that these laws are enforced. “When I 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 have 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. “1 have begun work on the 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 T. 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, yarned to succeed Representative Bryan, deceased, fur nishes a fine example of the virtue of keeping everlastingly at It! 11«- has been a candidate for the House regularly for some 30 years, and never before has won out. He has been a perpetually willing sacri fice for 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 ago 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 Waterloo*. And now—well, he Is Representa tive-elect, at last, and Ije will be sworn in next summer, “If he lives and 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 ami started in business this year On December 10 last year there had been chartered And started In business exactly 50 State banks—a number so far ahead of Ulfa year’s record that It will not be equaled even approximately. This has not been as good a year us last for organizing banks—that much is evident—but it has been an ex ceedingly prosperous year iu Georgia, nevertheless. The Joint legislative Committee of the Western und Atlantic Railroad, which Is to-day looking over the State’s tine terminal property In Chattanooga with a view to making recommendations as to the forthcoming release of the road, has no power to make binding reports. What It may have t<> 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 I*og1s ature that does act linally as to what terms shull govern the re-lease of the road. This property ts the biggest asset the State has. of course. It Is worth to day many times what It cost, und will continue to enhance In value an the years go by. There Is no doubt what-I ever that It will be re leased—If It is dls posed of that way, which seems most likely upon terms fur more advanta geous to the State than the present con tract. The fund nrtslng from the rent of this ; road goes to the common school fund, and hence the Legislature wi l he ticularly careful i<* make it produce the maximum of revenue Norman Hackett To Play Stock Here A stock company headed by Nor man Hackett probably will open at the Lyric Theater after two more weeks of road shows, according to an announcement made Thursday by Hugh Cardoza, manager of the house. Emma Bunting will come to the Lyric next week and the following week there vvlll*he another road show. Then Hackett will be .here, and unless first- clr.ss road companies can be booked Hackett probably will remain in At lanta at the head of the company in stock. It is understood that the change from road show's to stock companies will he made In several of the Jake Wills theaters In the South, owing to the lack of good road productions.
