Mel. Bacon Introduces Another Bill
on the subj CT at Atlanta.
ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 2S.-For the first
time during the present session a quorum
was lacking when the House was called to
order this morning. Only eighty three
members were in their seats. The speaker
at once ordered the doors closed and dis
patched officers TO hunt up at least five
absenteeS. Two hours we Q thus lost and
finally, when a sufficient number was found
and the House convened, little business was
transacted.
The most important bill introduced to-
day was one by Maj. Bacon relative to the
control OF railroads. The bill is one OF
much concern to the roads, as it aims TO
greatly enlarge the already far-reschinR
powers Of the railroad commission making
the board absolute master Of every road In
the state. The caption of the bill explains
pretty thoroughly the extent. 1t is as
follows;
THE BILL.
To enlarge and define the powers aud duties
of the railroad commission. and particularly
relative TO the supervision OF the schedules OF
railroad companies, the physical CONDITION OF
railroads and the inspection OF the same the

the fixing of just and reasonable rates OF
charges for TRANSPORTATION Of freight ana pas
sengers, and for other purposes.

s1oners Of Efingham county to appoint

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 2s.-The bill re-
Gently passed placing the election of county
commissioners in the hands of the people in

3. Neal. Since then the legislature passed
the law which determines that the county
commissioners shall be elected by the people.

Mr. Neal by the grand jury null and void.
and the county executive committee this

FORMALLY RESIGNED SATURDAY.

Last Saturday. Rev. \. F. Harmon.
county auditor. rendered his resignation
to the County Commissioners and
requested that it be accepted. Some five
OF six months ago Mr.. Hartman wrote TO
Governor Humphrey requesting him to
get an opinion from the Attorney General
as 10 whether or not il would be s. richly
legal for him TO hold the Office of county
auditor under the law passed last winter,
until his term of Office expired November
next The Attorney General submitted
an opinion through the Governor to Mr..
Harmon stating that the purpose of
the law did not reach him az all
and that he could hold the office until his
term would expire. Recently, however.
decision WAS rendered in one OF the high
courts of the state which seemed TO be IN
direct conflict with the attorney generals
opinion Soon after this decision was
made Mr.. Harmon, IN view of the fact that
there MAS no accurate knowledge of what
the population of the county is, practically
went out of Office last December, but did
not formally resign till Saturday, when
County Attorney Norris rendered an
opinion on the matter at the request OF Mr.
Harmon made some time ago
