evidence, testimony and suggestions
and the Hke with a view to report
ing suitable measures for correcting
the existing insurance laws of Geor
gia.
The committees, both from the
house and senate, worked harder
than usual this year and there are
hundreds of bills favorably report
ed which were never placed upon
their passage.
Notable among these are the pure
election measures by Mr. Wright of
Richmond, to prohibit the purchase
and sales of ballots; to prohibit cor
porate contributions to campaign pur
poses; to make candidates file an
itemized statement of campaign ex
penses. The bills by Mr. Hall, of
Bibb: To make all railroads operate •
under Georgia charters; to make it a
misdemeanor to pay another’s taxes
to register that person; to prohibit a
judge from directing a jury verdict.
The bill by Mr. Adams, of Chatham,
to provide for the creation of juve
nile courts. The bill by Mr. Black
burn, of Fulton, to organize a state
patrol; that of Mr. of
White, to register all dogs, and many
others.
Under the head of “ nearly legis
lation” comes the bill by Mr. Mar
tin, of Elbert, which raises the price
of fertilizer tags from 10 to 25 cents.
It was hoped by the terms of this bill
to raise $160,000 to support the
eleventh district and university of
agriculture. The bill was passed in
the house by a rousing vote, but was
never passed in the senate. The clean
sheet bill by Mr. McMichael, of Ma
rion, also joined the tag bill on the
waiting list of the senate, which num
ber was afterwards increased by
many more of more or less impor
tance. . •
List of Last Bills.
Among the last bills to be passed
were the two of widespread interest.
The first was that by Senator Dobbs,
whereby railroads are compelled to
furnish refrigerator cars for the
immediate use of shippers after being
ordered and providing a heavy penal
ty for non-compliance. The other
was a “Sunday bill.” It was that
of Dr. Hardman in the senate, pro
viding for the creation of a state
board of examiners for trained
nurses. Mr. Candler had this bill
passed the last thing, in the house,
before the general tax act was adopt
ed.
Altogether the session was most
fruitful, but there were as many
peaches left on the legislative tree,
and just as large, as those shaken
down by the big stick.
The house adjourned Sunday morn
ing in a good humor. Repeated re
cesses were taken between midnight
and adjournment. During these lulls
there were mock sessions of the leg
islature with various humorists in the
speaker’s chair; other wits about the
floor and a general joliflcation all
round. The house threw spit balls
until their arms ached; sang until
they were hoarse and danced until
they were sore. To the tune of “God
be with you till we meet again,” the
v aolons departed and debate will be
cut off in the capifol until June, 1909.

LET US BE CAREFUL.
The Farmers’ Union Guide has
an ambition, the outgrowth of an in
spiration, to be what its name im
plies —a Guide to the union.
On this point it would advise the
union to be watchful of the question
of immigration.
The Board of Trade of Little
Rock, Arkansas, has passed a reso
lution condemning the Farmers’ Un
ion as a menace to the growth of
Arkansas because it has placed itself
on record against immigration.
The Guide would advise the union
of Arkansas to be cautious, yes, very
cautious, in the way they meet reso
lution.
We believe, when it comes to a
show down, in fighting; but right
here, in order to explain our posi
tion, we will ask this question: How
do we know that these attacks against
the union are not premeditated for
the purpose of drawing the organi
zation out, confusing and dividing
its ranks and finally destroying its
true aims? ,
The Guide does not make an ac
cusation, but simply wants it readers
to think.
The Farmers’ Union is on record
as opposed to the low class of immi
grants coming into our country and
against the objective purpose of
scouring the slums of Europe for
th is class to bring in competition
with respectable home labor.
From this position it should never
swerve, but it should be guarded and
not allow the enemy’s fire to lure
it into the trap they have set for
its complete ruin.
There is no danger if we will be
on guard.
Let us act with precaution. Be
sure we are right and then deliber
ately carry out our plans regardless
of the wailings and howls of the
Boards of Trade and of the commer
cial journals.—Union Guide.

Not a Patent Medicine but a

from the many marvelous cures it
has made—of Rheumatism, Kid

It is a medicine put up ex

just the same and each bottle
made one at a time. Made in the
old fashioned way, out of the best
ingredients in a crude state and
not concentrated.
