DADE COUNTY TRENTON, GEORGIA
"p trcrrr^ uiJi n rm ix rrrrrinr-nnnrtnn n---
looking backward
(By Claude S. Turner)
THE DADE COUNTY GAZETTE
Rising Fawn, Ga., September 18, 1879.
In this issue of The Gazette,
the editor, who was also an act¬
ive laweyer and politician, gives
a column of Legislative News,
taken from the journal of the
Senate and the House of Repre¬
sentatives of Georgia, dated Sep¬
tember 8 , 1879. Dr- Lumpkin
was also representing the 44th
Senatorial District in the General
Assembly of Georgia at that
that time. Here are some of
the bills introduced in the Sen¬
ate and House of Representa¬
tives as of that date:
Senate: Bill for the punish -
j ment of tramps, vagrants, commonly taken up
J known at was
a nd igorously discussed,
Senator Lumpkin proposed to
amend the bill by adding, “book
agents, lightning rod salesmen,
tree peddlers and agents for
liver pads.”
House of Representatives: A
bill to establish a county court in
every county of Georgia, was
discussed pro and con, especial¬
ly the manner of choosing the
judges.
Some Representatives wanted
the judges named by the Legis¬
lature, but the majority were in
favor of electing them by the
people, in the “good old Demo-
cratic manner.”
The bill was Indefinitely post-
poned, and was probably never
called up again.
Senate:, Sept- 10 Among the
bills on their third and final
reading was one to carry out
provisions of the Constitution
relative to providing maimed
Confederate veterans with arti-
ficia limbs, was passed by a vote
of 114 yeas to 5 nays.
Senate, Sept. 12: A bill to pro¬
hibit employment or detention
of minors in conflict with the
will of their parents or guardi¬
an, was referred to the judici¬
ary committee.
House of Representatives,
Sept. 13. Bills on their third
reading: A. bill to make it %
felony for a bank president and
directors to receive deposits
when they know that their bank
is insolvent, was passed.
A bill to prevent betting on
elections was lost. A bill to pro¬
hibit the running of passenger
or express trains on Sunday was
also defeated. A bill to amend
the school law of 1872, so as to
require greater competency of
teachers, was tabled.
Thus we see that our law
makers in those days, were con¬
fronted with virtually the same
worries and responsibilities as
are common to our Legislators
today.
