Commissioner of Fommercs and
Labor H. M. Stanley Is spending a
few days at home, enjoying a much-
j needed and well-deserved rest from
I his official duties.
The • 'ommissinner is well please*
with the work of his departmeni,
which Is relatively * youngster among
fh# other departments, and talks most
interestingly »f the same.
Discussing tne year's labors before
b.fring for home, Commissioner
Stanley said;
Already a great deal of statistical
mutter concerning the industrial re
source* yf the Htate. which has nev
er before been compiled, has been dis
seminated, and aj* the department
grows this xvfirk will Increase and
much valuable information will be
prepared and distributed.
“The department has accomplished
n great work In seeing that the laws
regarding the employment of women
and children are $ompli*d with. The
act creating this department makes
It mv il"'v to -tee 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 lettei. 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 «*ent* for their female
employee*, and we now are looking
after the enforcement of the law In
the smaller cities and towns.
“I 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 i
took place in Havannah Monday.
His physician* say that he will be
out within the rext 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
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 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 Waterloo*.
And now—well, he Is Representa
tive-elect, at last, and he 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 Htate Pecan
Bank. In Baconton, mukes the nine
teenth Stale bank organized and
started in business this year.
On December 10 last year there
had been chartered and started In
business exactly 50 Htate banks—a
number so far ahead of this year’s
record that It will not bo equalod even
apnroxlmately.
This has not been as good a year a*
last for organizing banks—that much
is evident but it ha* been an ex
ceedingly prosperous year In Georgia,
nevertheless.
The Joint Legislative Committee of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, which
I* to-day looking over the State's tine
terminal property In Chattanooga with a
view to making rec<>mmendntl<ins us to
the forthcoming re lease of the road,
ha* no power to make binding reports.
What it may have to sav to the Leg
islature next summer will he merely
advisory, and in no way mandatory.
The road will not h« disposed of as
to Its future liy the present Legislature
- nor. perhaps, by the next. It Is hoped
that the way may he cleared up com
pletely, however, for the Legisature that
does act flnully as to what terms shall |
govern the re-lease of the road.
This property is the biggest asset the
Htate has. of course It is w’orth 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 dl*
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 wl 1 be par
ticularly careful to make it produce tho
maximum of revenue.

When he started home with hl« kill,
however, he suddenly recolle* ted that
he couldn’t carry thoee bfeq* into Geor

fudge, he couldn't afford to violate the
law, no matter how great the tempta

there was nothing to it but to give all
those fine birds away and give them

Judge Wright will now sell his $15
Alabama hunting license for $3.49, If
nnylxaJy wants to buy It!
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 I
announcement made Thursday by
Hugh C'nrdoza, manager of the house,
Kmma Bunting will come to the Lyric
next week and the following week
there will be another road show. Then i
Hackett w ill be here, and unless first-
« h:*« road companies can be booked
Hackett probably will remain in At- j
lar.ta at tho head of the company in
stock.
It Is understood that the change
from road shows to stock companies
will be made in several of the Jake
Wtlls theaters In the South, owing to
the lack of good road productions.
