VOL. XXII NO. 8. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE WILL MEET ON JUNE 23. Effort Will Be Made to Change to Biennial Sessions Atlanta, Ga—The Georgia leg islature will convene on the fourth Wednesday in June, which is the 23. At this session Gov. Brown will be inaugurated and will take over the executive reins cf the state government. It is .»< said the ceremonies will be very ’*■* simple and no attempt at display will be made. It is not altogether improba ble that this will be the last one of the summer session of the Geor gia legislature. A strong move ment -s afoot to again change that already much emasculated document known as the constitu tion of Georgia, so as to provide bi ennial sessions to be held in _.the late fall or early winter. Sen timent in favor of Jo-ennial ses sions is very str?#t; but no change can be made until next year. Many important matters are scheduled to come up this sum mer, but the most important of all will be the question of revenue To provide, the means for meet ing the state’s obligations, will be the foremost work of the session. No doubt efforts will be made to both weaken and strengthen the prohibition law, but unless one side can muster a two-thirds vote such work will count for naught. Governor-elect Brown is under a pledge to veto any change pro vided for the law and has an nounced that he intends to keep that pledge. Another matter that will pro voke a lively fight is a proposed re-organization of the railroad commission. The controlling fac tion of the incoming administra tion is under pledge to reduce the commission to three members, and to repeal or change some of the other features of the Candler bill. At all events the session will be a lively one, and may exceed its two immediate predecessors in history making. NO NEW TRIAL FOR COOPERS. Motion Overruled by Judge Hart at Nashville Tuesday.
