A BILL WITH STOBY BEHIND 1T.
Twenty-eight local bills were passed at
the morning session. One Of these has O
story behind it An act was passed at the
last session to create a board of county com
Inissioners for Barlow county. By cler-
1cal error the power to create
and define new militia districts was not
transferred from the ordinary to the COM
missioners. Believing they had this power.
however, the commissioners created new
district and appointed Squire Davis justice
of the peace for that district.
Nov it happens that Squire
Davis was quite popular with
all the young folks in that district, aud
they made it point when the marriages
were to be performed that Squire Davis
was to tie the knot. They came from miles
around, and the new squire had almost a
monopoly OF the knot tying business. Not
&ong ago, however, somebody discovered
lthis defect in the law, and that the county
commissioners had no authority to create
fhe new district and that Squire Davis,
while he was performing all these mar
iriages, had really not been justice Of the
peace and had no authority to pro-
tnounce any two people man and wife
There was a terrible howdy do, and the
confusion Of certain young couples can be
better imagined than described. The bill
passed to-day was: ITO legalize all official
business transacted by the justice OF the
peap and notary public in Emerson dis
trfct 1925, G. M, Barlow county"
Twenty local bills were passed at the
afternoon session. One general bill was
passed. Il was the one introduced by Mr..
Ryals Of Chatham, ito require keepers and
propretors OF hotels, clearinghouse or
other public houses or bath-houses on the
seaooast OF Georgia where people
may resort for the purposes of surf
bathing to keep and maintain during the
surf bathing season suitable life boats, or
life RATS. or life preservers and appliances
for use in case of emergencies to bathers"
