AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
With the usual jollifications, singing
and with witty speech making the ses
sion of the general assembly for 1913
came to a close. The speaker of the
house rang his gavel down on the
finish of the ceremonies at 10:12
o’clock. The end came in the sen
ate three minutes later at 10:15.
The house had already finished its
work at the afternoon session and
there was no need of a night session
for that body except to await the
pleasure of its sister branch, the sen
ate.
The senate had a number of special
appropriations which it had not been
able to reach in the rush of the clos
ing hours and there were also a few
bills of general interest which had
passed the house and which came back
to the senate for finab action on the
last night of the session.
Speaker Burwell addressed the house
in a farewell message, telling the mem
bers that whatever may have been
the mistakes which he may have made
during the season, they were mistakes
of judgment and not of the heart. He
held every member of the house in the
highest personal regard, and thanked
them for having done their duty so
well.
His remarks were received with
general applause.
Shortly after the house was notified
by the senate that that body had fin
ished its work, Representative Harde
man of Jefferson made a motion that
t.<e house stand adjourned sine die.
The motion was carried by acclama
tion. ami the session broke up with
the member shaking hands all around
and the singing of "God Be With You
Till We Meet Again.” led by Represen
tative Blackburn of Fulton.
Governor Slaton stated that every
penny of the loan would be used to
pay the teachers a part of their 1913
salaries.
STATE PRIMARY BILL DEAD FOR
ONE YEAR.
The house bill providing that state
primaries shall be held not later than
June 15 preceding the general elec
tion in October was killed in the sen
ate for this session of the legislature,
when the senate agreed unanimously
to let the matter go over until next
session.
Senator Harrell moved that the bill
be laid on Ute table for one day. This
was objected to by Senator .Tarver.
Senator Harrell then stated that he
would filibuster until adjournment if
necessary on the motion to adjourn.
He succeeded in arguing the question
for nearly an hour and theu agreed
if the bill be put oft until next sum
mer that he would yield the floor.
SPIRIT OF FRIENDLINESS PRE
VAILED.
“When the roll is called up yonder
we’ll be t' ere!” The strains of the
old camp meeting hymn echoed and re
echoed beneath Uie big dome of the
capitol, as both branches of the as
sembly prepared to adjourn.
Senators and legislators who had
fought each other's measures bitterly
throughout the entire session strolled
around arm in arm, and mingled thei«
voices in the chorus.
The utmost spirit of friendliness
prevailed between the upper and low
er branches of the legislature. All
differences on appropriations and tax
revision had been satisfactorily ad
justed, and had not the editorial writ
ers of the Atlanta papers agreed in
saying that members of this body
would “go down in history” as noble
souls and public benefactors?
If you have any doubt about the
joy it gives a man to be a noble soul
and public benefatcor, you should
have seen those couple of hundred
Georgia representatives and senators,
who passed the tax revision law, beam
ing and smiling as they read the
eulogies lauding them to the skies.
And some of the pretty school
ma’ams were at the capitol, too, to
thank the legislators, in the name of
all their fellow-teachers, for the pros
pect of relief at last.
THE EQUALIZATION TAX BILL
PASSED.
In the closest and most spectacular
fight ever seen in the history of the
Georgia legislature the house of rep
resentatives passed the Anderson-Mil
ler equalization substitute of the sen
ate when Speaker Burwell broke a Ue
vote of 85 to 85 by casting his ballot
in favor of the bill.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA.
LITHE ITEMS Of^GEORGIA CITIES
Conyers.—Masons of the fifth dis
trict, who held their annual conven
tion at Conyers, have expressed de
light at the hospitable treatment ac
corded them by their hosts. The town
was crowded with Masons, their wives
and families.
Barnesville. —Barnesville is in the
midst of one of the livest and most
unique municipal contests in many
years. The whitep rimary will be held
on Monday, August 25, (and those
nominated will be elected the next
day. A mayor and three aidermen are
to be elected.
Macon —T. W. Peters of Columbus,
Ga., was elected president of the
southeastern section of the Electric
Light association, which has been in
convention here. The place for the
next meeting will be decided on at a
meeting of the executive committee,
which will be held in September.
Cordele.—-Congressman Charles R.
Crisp officially notified A. L. McAr
thur that lie had been recommended
for Cordele postmaster, succeeding F.
G. Boatright. He was one of seven
applicants for the office. All of them
were prominent citizens.
Dalton.—Charged with' being a mem
ber of the masked band that whipped
John Shannon, a farmer, near Tifton,
some time ago, Joe Callahan, a young
boy, was convicted in Murray superior
court at Chatsworth and given a
chaingang sentence of twelve months.
Shannon swore to having recognized
Callahan after tearing the mask from
his face.
Stone Mountain. —Marshal C. V. Ma
honey finished a good week's work
when he marched to Decatur, bound
together by ropes, eleven negroes that
he had caught in a skin game. Ac
copipanied by R. L. Carroll, the mar
shal raided a negro cabin full or
dusky gamblers and succeeded in cap-
During one week the marshal has turn-
Dring one week the marshal has turn
ed up three blind tigers and arrest
ed four whites for gambling.
Sylvester.—The grand jury of Cal
houn county called in special session
by Judge Frank Park immediately af
ter the lynching of Son Lovett, a ne
gro, charged with murder, at Morgan,
is reported to have evidence against ,
members of the mob that took part in I
Hie crime, and it is believed that a ’
special term of court will be called to i
try those who may be indicted.
Macon.—Macon’s mayoralty race is
now a three-cornered affair, Wallace
Miller, son of Judge A. L. Miller, for
mer mayor of the city, having announc
ed his candidacy for the office. The
other two are Bridges Smith and A.
L. Dasher. Sr. The entry of Mr. Mil- I
ler makes the situation somewhat com
plex, though friends of both of the
other candidates say that they are not
the least disturbed by the develop
ments.
Griffin.—lt has been many a year
since the farmers of Spalding county
were in a more jubilant mood over
the crop prospects than they are at
this time over the outlook for a great
crop this year. Sixty days ago a
heavy pall of gloom rested over the
entire farming section, and the out
look was so bad that quite a number
of men neglected to further cultivate
some of their land that had already
been planted, while in other instances
several plowed up cotton to plant the
land kite corn.
Savannah.—That the Seaboard Air
Line headquarters are to be moved
from Portsmouth is a report which
reached here. The Seaboard has re
cently acquired considerable property
on the west side and officials do not
deny that office buildings are to be
erected there. The report is that an
eight-story building will be put up
here. Savannah Is the center of the
Seaboard system, and for this reason
more useful for their headquarters
than Portsmouth.
Valdosta —An election for an issue
of $50,000 municipal bonds has been
called by the city council for
September 15. If it carries Valdosta
will in a few months be the best paved
city of its size in the Mate, and will
have a waterworks system adequate
to take care of the growth of the city
for several years. Os the proposed
issue, $35,000 is to be used for extend
ing the paving now in operation, while
the remaining $15,000 is to be used
for extending the water mains and
in improving the water works station.
A 3,000,000 gallon pump was bought
with a portion of the last bond issue,
and the plant is now being prepared
for its installation.
Jesup. —This county offers an exam
ple of the pay-as-you-go policy. At
the first of the year. 1913, the county
had on deposit nearly $35,000, and
owed not any man. There are no
debts hanging over the county, bond
ed or otherwise. All road and other
public works have been carried on
this year and paid for. Mule teams
and road machinery have been bought.
With all these additional expenses
paid the county lias on deposit yet
about sixteen thousand dollars. This
good showing has come about through
the economical management of wise
boards oi county commissioners
