WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DID AND DID NOT DO The legislature that has just passed into history adopted a child labor law, almost emasculated by eleventh hour timendments, but a good law for all that. It did not restrict the amount of alcohol In beer »old in this prohibition state, nor make the maintenance of a locker club a crime. Neither did It adopt a very reasonable bill offered restricting the shipment of blind tiger supplies Into this state. It might have done all that but for the fine Italian hand and the mqgic Infleunce of the big liquor interests that, through the speaker, secured a "legal vulture” plague, which law, operating with the rules committee, effectually dominated and tyrannixed a large prohibition majority In the house of representatives. It created four new counties. Marrow, with Winder as Its capital. Bacon, with Alma as Us capital. Candler, with Matter as Its capital. Evans, with Claxton as Its capital. But it did not rulse the age of con sent from ten years, leaving Georgia, of all the states in the union, standing along with the negro republic, Hivyti, on that Important question. It did abolish the office of quarter master general. But It did not pas* any law for the protection of oyster beds. It did not pass the kindergarten bill, the Intermediate sentence bill, nor the slaughter house inspection bill. It provided for the protection of Insurance companies, against the "legal vulture" plague, which law will be extended to protect other corpo rations. we trust, by the very next legislature.

It did adopt a splendid bill, possibly introduced too late, intended to pro hibit illegal combinations in restraint of trade. It did establish a legislative reform bureau. It did not provide for the rotation of judges of the superior court, as some legislature is sure to do in the near future. It did provide for the garnishment of w'ages to the extent of fifty per cents where the wages amount to more than a dollar and a quarter per day. It did not exempt from taxation col lege endowments. The list of exemp tions is growing to be large.
