The last echoes of the 191-1 legisla
ture has died away and silence once
more reigns supreme in the chambers
of the senate and house of representa
tives in the capltol building. A num
ber of new laws have been added to
the statute books of the state, while
many other proposed laws went down
In defeat.
Action, Not Words, the Keynote
The closing days of this session of
the state legislature was marked by
the speed with which action was tak
en on bills before both houses. The
working days of the assembly were
lengthened and no encouragement was
given to the legislator who desired
to argue to any length. Action, and
not words, was the keynote of the ses
sions.
Voters Will Ratify New Bills
As the result of the workings of
the general assembly, the voters of
Georgia will be called upon at the
fall election to decide whether a num
ber of bills passed by the law-making
body shall become laws. These bills
require an amendment to the state
constitution before they can become
laws, and therefore must be ratified
by the voters. Principally among
these bills are the ones creating the
new counties of Barrow. Bacon, Cand
ler and Evans.
County Election Day Changed
It has been estimated that the state
will be saved $75,000 as the result
of a bill passed by the general as
‘ sembly which provides that the county
elections shall be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No-
vember. This will bring the county
elections on the same day as the state
elections, and will require only one
election day in the state, whereas in
be past there has been two. This bill
I originated in the senate.
Georgia Child Labor Law
One of the last actions of the house
before adjournment was to pass the
Sheppard child labor bill, accepting
the amendments attached to the bill
by the senate.
However, there was little left to the
bill, as the senate amendments prac
tically stripped it of its power, ft
appeared for a time that the bill would
go down in utter defeat. The house
at first refused to accept the bill as
amended by the senate. A confer
ence of committees from both houses
was then called, which resulted In the
acceptance of the amended bill by the
lower house.
Provisions That Were Eliminated
The senate amendments provided
that children under 14 years of age
could work in factories if they were
I orphans dependent upon their own
; support for a livelihood, or were the
I children of widows dependent upon
i thpm. The provision requiring chii
i dren under 16 years-of age be able to
I read and write was also stricken out.
SIO,OOO for Georgia Tech
Much rejoicing was manifested by
the president, K. G. Matheson, of Geor
gia Tech, When the senate tacked on
lan appropriation of SIO,OOO for the
I Tech school on the appropriation of
j the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College at Milledgeville. The appro
l priation for the Tech school had been
I previously killed in the lower house.
I Senator G. M. Huie, of the Thirty
fifth, by a strategic move added an
amendment to the Normal school ap-
I propriation, giving the Tech school
an appropriation also.
Bills Passed by House
The following senate bills were
passed by the house:
j To make the trustees of yie South
I Georgia Normal college, at Valdosta,
I ex-officio members of the board of trus
| tees of the state university. United
I States Senator West is president of
the board of trustees of the South
Georgia Normal college.
Bills Passed by Senate
The following bills were passed in
j the senate:
| By Mr. Johnson of Montgomery To
I create a board of commissioners, of
roads aud revenues for Montgomery
county.
By Mr. Johnson of Montgomery - To
I repeal an act to create a board of com
i tnissioners for Montgomery county.
By Messrs. Blackburn and Cochran
of Fulton—To fix the salaries of all
bailiffs of the city courts of all cities
of more than 150,000 population at
$135 a month.
Senate Passes Barber Bill
Booking to the protection against
contagious or infectious diseases con
tracted in barber shops, the bill of
Representatives Blackburn. Smith and
Cochran regulating the operation of
barbers in this state was passed by the
senate.
An attempt by Senator Peyton to
i amend the bill so as to make it apply
i to cities with less than 5,000 population
was lost by a vote of 17 to 10 and the
bill now needs only the signature of
the governor before becoming a law.
This measure has the endorsement
of the Traveling Men's associations of
the state, the medical fraternity, the
state board of health and a great num
ber of the barbers of Georgia.
Sanitary Barber Shops
The bill provides for regulations in
the interest of the public health of
sanitary conditions in barber shops;
for competency and efficiency of those
engaged in the occupation; a board
of examiners of three to be appointed
by the governor, the registration of
all barbers in Georgia in cities of five
thousand or more inhabitants; the is
suance of licenses without examination
to all barbers who have been engaged
in the barber business at least three
years on the passage of this act; the
withholding of licenses to applicants
who are themselves afflicted with con
tagious or infectious diseases, and the
maintenance of the board out of the
funds arising from the provisions of
the bill and without cost to the state.
Protects Paint Purchasers
Protecting the purchasers of paint in
this state, the bill of Senator G. Y.
Harrell, providing for the regulation of
the sale of paint passed the senate.
To Pay Bonded Indebtedness,
A bill authorizing the issuance of $3,-
679.000 of bonds by the state for the
payment of the bonded indebtedness of
Georgia, due July 1. 1915, was passed
by the senate without opposition.
Amending an act creating in the
treasury department of the state a
bank bureau, the bill of Mr. Redwine,
of Fayette, which passed the house last
session, was carried in the senate. This
! bill provides for the following fees for
the examination of banks by state
bank examiners:
Capital of less than $25,090 . .$ 12.50
$25,000 to $50,000 15.00

; a propagandist speech. It goes some
: thing like this:
| “I checked my bag at the station,
and engaged an old darky hackman to
I drive me to the hall. He seemed
] very much worried over my lack of

" ’Most every gent what comes
’ here’s got something to sell,' he said. ;
j ’Maybe youze got something to sell,
' boss?’
“ ‘Oh, yes,' I told him, Tre got some

seemed satisfied. But his curiosity got.
the better of him. and he broke out :
with another question:
” ’What might dat something be you :
got to sell, boss?' he asked
“1 thought it over for a while, and .
decided that I should have to give i
some kind of an answer, so I said, I j

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ails Vanish Before Postum.
It seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis
missed and Postum used as the regu
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con
tains a poisonous drug—caffeine—
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements in j
choice hard wheat with a little mo- !
lasses.
A Phila. man grew enthusiastic and :
wrote as follows:
"Until 18 months ago I used coffee
regularly every day and suffered from
I headache, bitter taste in my mouth, j
and indigestion; was gloomy and irri- j
table, had variable or absent appetite, !
loss of flesh, depressed in spirits, etc. !
"I attribute these things to coffee,
because since 1 quit it and have drank
Postum I feel better than I had for
20 years, am less susceptible to cold,
have gained 20 lbs. and the symptoms
have disappeared—vanished before
, Postum."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to
Wellville,” in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum —must be well
. boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum —is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
. and sugar, makes a delicious bever
. age instantly. 30c and 50c tins.
, The cost per cup of both kinds is
. about the same.
