LAWS FOR THE PHYSICIANS.
Measure Against Refilling of Prescrip
tions by Druggists.
Three important bills will be offered
at the first, session of the legislature
and their passage will he urged by
fno members of the Medical associa
tion of Georgia, If they pass the Med
ical committee on legislation. The
enactment of the measures will prob
ably be vigorously opposed.
The passage of the-bills would mean
much for the physicians, and when
they were read at the session of the
Medical association In Savannah Fri
day morning they attracted no little
attention. Those laymen who read
the bills declared that tneir adoption
would he class .egislaL.on, and It is
probable that a fight wfll be directed
on that line.
The measure to regulate the filling
of prescriptions would cfTect the mass
of people more than tne other bills,
ana lfs passage Is doubted by those
who have read It.

HEAD OF THE INVESTMENT CO.
Mr. Erv.dn Will Rc.btlri Tii.it Place Af
ter the Consolidation.
President R. G. Erwin, of the Plant
System, will remain nt the head of fee
Plant Investment company, which will
not be disrupted with the transfer of
the Plant Syßtem to the Atlantic
Coast Line, says yesterday’s Savan
nah News. The Plant Investment
company has many interests, and be
fore the organization can go out of
business there will lie many things to
demand the attention of its executive
officers and directors.
On July 1 the formal transfer of the
Plant. System will bo made. Presi
dent. Erwin said yesterday that he will
be In New York for a time, at all
events, after the transfer, and will
continue to devote bis attention to
the affairs of the Plant. Investment
company.
Mr. Erwin was seen by a rom-esen.
tative of the Morning Nows, to whom
he talked of 1 ,ant System matters.
Tiiis was just before bis departure for
the south. He will spend several days
out on the line of t’ne system before
returning to Savannah.
Speaking of the Plant System Hos
pital and Relief department, Mr. Er
win said that the employes and offi
cials who are now insured in it, will
have no reason for apprehension on
the score of their contracts. Those
contracts,*he said, will be honored by
the Atlantic Coast Line, and it is safe
to say that the holders will he given
advantages, rather than suffer, by the
transfer from one line to the other.
It is probable, Mr. Erwin thinks, that
there will he a consolidation of the
two hospital and relief departments.
