Atlanta, Ga ; July 12—The Cromartie bill, providing for a constitutional amendment in¬ creasing the number of counties in Georgia from 137 to 145, was passed unanimously by the Sen¬ ate today. The measure now awaits the signature of the Gov¬ ernor only, before it shall ready for submission to the peo pie of the state. This bill merely provides for an amendment, increasing the possible number of counties in Georgia from 137 to 145 and the companion legislation in regard to representation and other mat¬ ters involving new counties is still pending in the house. Re¬ cently the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments amended the bill as it came from the house, making the number of possible new counties 150 but this amendment was withdrawn. An effort was made by M r. Tis inger of the twenty-fifth to amend the bill, so that no county having less than 525 square miles should be affected by any county chang¬ es. He finally reduced the fig¬ ures to 350 square miles, but the amendment was lost. There were thirty-eight votes for the bill, none against it.

One yelling, slashing driver can make a horse look like a scarecrow in a week, while a kind man can have it fat and gentle i i a little while. Give Us a Square Town. While the qmstion of wat r works u being agitated don’t for¬ get that one of the greatest needs of Camilla just now is more streets and better streets. You may put in all the im¬ provements you please in the way of water works and other conveniences, but, unless your tjwn presents an attractive ap¬ pearance a stranger will not want to make investments here or make it his home. Square up the town, gentle¬ men. Lay it off into neat blocKS, surrounded on all four sides with good, wide streets and then you will invite immigration and cap¬ ital to the town, but as long as it remains in its present uninviting shape, with its long crooked apologies for streets you cannot reasonably expect Camilla togrow very much in population. The writer has already heard such expressions as “It’s an old town,” and, “Its full grown” from some who were visitors to Mitchell’s capitol city While you are considering wa¬ ter works consider your streets also. To make the former more profitable, build up a cosc com¬ pact town by opening up your streets. Mr. Robt. Daniels Dead.
