GIETING READY
FOR LEGISLATURE
Busy. Important Session Is
Ahead For Next Georgia
Genreal Assembly.
| Atlanta, May 2.—Less than two Mon-
i ths novr remain before the assembling
I of the Legislature, and the interim no
: doubt will be replete with political aud
| legislative interest.
This is a new Legislature, elected
j last October, and considerable interest
Will, therefore, center in its organiza-
1 tion.
Generally recognized to be a Hoke
j Smith Legislature in point of political
I sentiment, there is still 60ine decided
! question as to whether the Hoke Smith
: fbrco will succeed in organizing it.
It seems to be the general impression
| that John M. Slaton of Atlanta, sena
tor from the 35th, will be elected presi-
| dent of the Senate, succeeding himself
| in the position he has held for the last
j two years. Mr. Slaton has never been
: of the Hoke Smith political school,
; while bis opponent, Senator J. E. Shep
pard of Surntre, is a ssrong Smith man.
Politicians express confidence in Mr.
| Slaton’s success, for he was popular i
i witn both factions in the last Senate. j
Over in the House John N. Holder j
1 of Jackson, also of the "other school of
thought,’’ wants to sueeed himself as
i Speaker. His Hoke Smith opponent is !
W. H. Burwell of Hancock, who was &|
| leader of the Smith forces in last year's j
| Senate. Judge II. \V. Hopkins of
Thomas also is a possible candidate for
Speaker; so far as is known he has nev
er been aligned with the Smith element.
The sitution in the House is, there
fore, considerably more doubtful, al
though Holder’s friends express almost
as much confidence asdo those of Slaton
in his success.
It looks as if John T. Boifeuillet
would be re-elected clerk of the House
and Charles S. Northern secretary of
< the Senate; neither of them lias ma-
! terial opposition and neither is a "Hoke
Smith man. Possibly, however, many
! of the minor offices in House and Sen
ate will go to Smith supporters,
j In the next place comes the election
of a United States Senator, and strange
ly enough, though the time is drawing
near this contest keeps about as quiet
as a one-sided campaign for justice of the
peace.
Senator Joseph M. Terrell, until re-
| cautly, was too ill to be active; but be
! practically has recovered his health and
j is again at bis desk in Washington.
| He has arranged to secure political
j headquarters in Atlnuta several weeks
; before the Legislature convenes and, it
j is said, will be busily on the job early
MPROIIE THE SOIL
When you use a Fertilizer, be sure it contains all
the elements of PLANT FOOD.
To ascertain what plant-foods are most required, the soil and
crop needs must be studied by the farmer. Plant-Food should always
be supplied in available form. Corn is a voracious (feeder, and true
economy lies in plenty. You INCREASE THE YIELD and IMPROVE
THE SOIL when you use “Georgia’s Brands of High Grade Fertilizers.”

Tl;e senatorial candidates on the Hoke
Smith side of the political fence are
keeping unusually quiet; whether it is
merely a dignified silence or part of a
preconcerted plan, remains to develop.
It all bears out, however, the belief gen
erally expressed over the state that Gov-,
eruor eleot Hoke Smithes really tire
candidate, bnt will not be known forrn-
| ally as such until after the question of
election of a senator is taken up by the
General Assembly when his name will 1
be put iu nomination
His principal difficulty will come from
the fact that many members, it is stat
ed, fovorable to him politically, feel
that lie should remain in the Governor's
teresting. The Legislature must make
up and pass general appropriations and
tax acts for the next two years.
If Congress increases the membership
of its lower House as a result of the
recent census, it will also be up to the
Legislature to redistrict the state,
making provision for a twelfth con
gressman.
Prohibition legislation is going to
command some attention, as there is
little doubt effort will be made to
strengthen the law with a view to pro
vidiug for its better iuforcement, and
also to stop, if possible, the sale of beer,
i The question of the sale or lease of
the executive mansion property on
Peachtree street will be interesting, and
there is promised some excitement also
as the result of the usual efforts to raise
mor revenue through Dew or increased
specific taxes.
quite a number of old favorites will
put iu their appearance, such as com
pulsory education, a bureau of labor
aud the like, and with these, in view of
a crush of other business, it will, no
doubt, be a case of the survival of the
fittest.
