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. are! as It is only a few miles from his home In Floyd to the Alabama line, h** finally g*»i his consent to pay the re quire#! $15 hunting liner se Iri Alabama, and hied him forth to bunt Ho had fln»- luck, too. and kil ed a big bag.

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.
