VOLUME 2, NUMBER 230.
LEGISLATORS ARE NOW
FLOODING THE CAPITAL
SON WILL
BEGINTOMORROW
A Number of Important
Bills Are to
Come Up.
ONLY AFEW LOCAL ONES
Several Will be Introduced But None
of Them are of Very Much Im
portance.—Some of the Other
Bills to Come Up.
The general assembly of the state
will convene tomorrow. It will be the
first time since IS9I that it is in ses
sion during the summer months.
The calendar is full of bills to he
disposed of, several of them being of
an important nature. Glynn’s senator
and representative will be on hand
at the opening and will put in some
good work during the session.
Among the local bills that will come
up will- be the bill to amend the char
ter of the city court of of Brunswick,
so as to make the clerk of the super
ior court ex-officio clerk of the su
perior court. Another bill is: u,
be introduced to better protect our
game and llsb, and there are a num
ber of others, none of which, however,
are of very much importance.
Garnishment Bill.
A bill that is bieng urged by the Re
tail Grocers, association of this city,
as well as by the state body of the
same organization, is a graduated gar
nishment law on all classes of wage
earners, The present law, it is claim
ed, is a species of class legislation
affecting certain classes of workers,
wlhile others who, in some instances
make much' more are not touched. An
example of the classes tnat can be
garnished are conductors of railway
trains, while the engineers, who make
very much more, but who are sup
posed to receive taeir pay daily, are
not subject to the operations of the
present law. z
The law which the grocers seek t<
have passed is graduated as follow-.
Oil wages of S2O per month 15 per
cent to be subject to garnishment; s3e
per month 20 per cent.; SSO 'per month
25 per cent.; $75 per month 40 pc
cent.; and on stoo or over 50 pc.
centAt the present time the entire
wage is subject to garuisment ol' ah
persons not classed as day laborer .
The grocers claim tiiat llie law mar
they fl.k to have enacted is much
more lair and gives the wage-earun
a chance to get .rid ct his obligation*
in an sy and equitable manner.
11 bor organisations are opposeu
to ill ana declare tiiat it wuuiu
bi leans of causing great hard
ship to thousands ot working people
who are prompt in meeting tneir on
’igations and who would be oppresseu
by the hard-hearted wiio might have
them in their grasp.
Three Days’ Grace.
The abolition of ilie three days oi
grace now in vogue in the payment o*
notes is urged oy tile banks of the
state, who declare that there is no
Beceds'ity tor it. Accordance wain
tueir wishes, a bill has been prepared
and introduced repealing lue pre-eiu
law on the subject.
The Child Labor Bill.
Tile cuiild iabor bill, introduced by
Mr. Houston, the labor member from
Fulton, will come up for discussisou
and later will be placed on its passage.
The bill will be fought very liaru by
the mill men, but the recent passage
of simdiar bills in adjoining and sev
eral other southern states has greatly
increased the coutiJence of the cham
pions of Uie measure, who declare
that it will become a law.
Uniform Text Books.
The bill of Mr. West of Lownes pro
viding for uniform text books, will
boa hot bone of contention during
the term. Mr. West is a tighter and
on I his measure he proposes to do
his best. He has many warm advo
cates of the Hill to assist him. while
the other side of question is
equally .well represented. In the past
years the opponents ot the bill have
been able to encompass its defeat,
though heretofore they have had the
assistance of the state school com
missioner. This lime the commission
er is on the oilier side of the game
and will do all in his power to secure
the passage of the bill upon which he,
to a large degree, made the issue in
bis- campaign last year.
Mali’s Anti-Pass Bill .
It is regarded as probable that the
anti-free pass bill of Hon. Joe Hill
Hall, of Bibb, will come up again and
that the fight will be warm. Mr. Hall
has been pressing this bill very strong
ly for the past four years. It has been
qlefeated each time it came up.
FOR PUBLIC’S GOOD.
Socilogical Society Will Meet in Sa
vannah Today.
The Socilogical society of the
state of Georgia will convene in ses
sion at Savannah this moaning, when
many leading questions affecting edu
cation, the public schools, the child
labor, and care of the orphans will
be discussed.
The managers of the Savannah Fe
male orphan asylum, St. Mary’s
borne, Abraham’s home, and the Day
nursery and the King's Daughters, as
well as Others iterested in the work
of benevolence will bt present.
Those interested in sanitary condi
tions are also urged to attend the
meeting, as matters of concern to the
public brought up and presented in
tlieiy phases by men skilled in
science.
