a great work in seeing that the Jaws

act treating this department makes
It my duty to uee that these laws are
enforced. *
"When I took charge of the office
Ihe 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 da
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.

finally got his consent to nay the re
quired $15 hunting llcenae In Alabama,
and hied him forth to hunt He had
fine luck, too, and kill©*! a big bag
When he started home with hl« kill,
however, he suddenly recollected that
he couldn’t ca*rv those hi r ds into Geor

Judge, he couldn’t afford to violate the
law, no matter how great the tempta
tion Besides, there was a. oompanlon
hunter along who might tell. It was not
long until train lime, moreover and ho,
there w«f nothing to It but to give all
those fine birds away and give them

Representative Bryan, deceased, fur
nishes a fine example of the virtue of
keeping everlastingly at It!
He has been a candidate for th©
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-I
tive-elect, at last, and he will be
sworn in next summer, “if he lives j
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 Slate bank organized and
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 this year’s
rc.cord that It will not be equaled ©Ven
apnroxlmately. •
This has not been as good a year as
last for organizing banks -that much
is evident—but It has been an ex
ceedingly prosperous year in Georgia,
nevertheless
The Joint legislative Committee of the.
Western and Atlantic Railroad, which
is to-day looking over the State’s fin*
terminal property In Chattanooga with a
view to making recommendations as lo
the forthcoming re lease of the road,
has no power to make binding reports
What It may have to say to the Leg-
Is.ature nex> summer will he merely
advisory, and in no way mandatory
The road will not he disposed of as
to Its future by the present legislature
—nor. perhaps, by the next. It is hoped
that lhe way may he cleared tip com
pletely, however, for the l,egln ature (hat
does act finally, as to what terms shall
govern the re-lease of (he road
This property Is the higgost asset the
State ha», of course It is worth to-
day many times what It cost and will
continue (o enhance In value as the
year- go by. There is no doubt what
ever that It w ill be re leased If It is dis
posed of that way. which seems most
likely- upon terms far more advanta
geous to the Stale than the present con
tract
The fund arising from the rent of this
road goes to the common school fund,
and hence the legislature wbl be par
ticularly careful to make It produce the
maximum of revenue.
