By the terms of this measure the offices cf comptroller general and in surance comir.i-sicncr will be sepa rated, and ejch will be headed by a state bouse official. This department will pass upon all matters now handled by the in ur fcr.ee commissioner. The house killed the bill by Mr. Dcnalscn, of DeKalg, iirposing a tax and calling for a bond from those vivo were licensed to “fate” pistols, winchesters and repeating lines.

If the action of the senate in placing Kjfl on the table the bm bv Senator Over street, providing fer rule of evidence in the trial of parties charged with the violation cf the prohibition bill, making the possession of a federal li fer, se by an individual to be suffi cient to convict, may be taken as an indication, that body went on record as being opposed to the alteration or modification cf the present 'prohibition bill in any particular. dust before the bill was to have been placed upon its passage, Senator Brock was recognized by the chair, and stated that in his opinion be thought that Georgia had enough prohibition for the present, and there fore lie moved that the bill be tabled. The motion was carried by a vo!e cf 22 to IS, several members of the sen ate being absent from the La.IK c * Atlanti, July 2. —A joint committee from the hence and senate has been appointed to draft a bill which will be offered to the legislature "as a solu tion of the convict question. Tu this report it is thought the bill will dedal e- in favor of re-leasing the convicts, all the convicts where the counties elect, or working all, where it shall be do vded, this way. It iS further expected that recommenda tions shall be made fer separating the white and black convict and also for sepsiating the women convicts.. Chairman Turner, in his remarks from the prison commission, suggested flirt, the practice of judges leasing misdemeanors to private individuals should cither he stopped or legalized. I T e hinted broadly at the idea of peon age in such practice. It is believed that, the proposed bill will declare in favor of abolishing such leases. Two important measures were pass ed by the senate at its session Thurs day, the one by Senator Weaver which prevents unfair <-c":nmercial dis crimination , and the otl or by Sena tor Hardman, preventing the confisca tion of commodities to be appropriat ed for their own use by railroads and other common carriers. The bill by Mr. Tuggle, of Troop, to give tie rovernor a four-year term, instead of two, without the privilege of re-election, and to take effect in 1911, was among the fir fa reported favorably. With it went tlie bills for four years for the other state house officers and county officers. The bill to elect the legislators for four years was not favorably re ported. Atlanta, July 4. —‘The first bill to pass both houses was that of Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, which the sen ate passed unanimously at the Friday morning session. Some amendments by Senator Felder, however, will ne cessitate its returning to the house before it can become a law. * The bill provides for the confirm ing and validating of all bonds issued by counties and municipalities since the constitution of 1877. Twenty-five members of the senate voted for it. After an hour’s easy work, the sen ate voted to adjourn until 12 o’clock Monday, July 8, it being the opinion of a scant majority that the Glorious Fourth should be duly celebrated.

Turgle Fill Unfavorably Reported. ..The committee failed to report fa vorably on Mr. Tuggle’s bill to in crease the terms of members of th.e general assembly, but followed the example cf congress a year or two ago by repeating with favor the bill of Mr. Kali to raise the salaries oi ? the law-rral;ers.
