The gold fever has broken out in North
Georgia. Old mines, long abandoned,
are being developed and there is great
excitement, because the deposit of gold
is very much greater than was supposed,

The Florence Times is correct when it
says: "In considering Mr.. Patton's plan
to re-district the State, the question
whether any present Congressman would
lose his seat thereby should at the outset
be eliminated. Tho only question, it
seems to us, is whether or not the new
districts would bring about more ad-
yantageous grouping OF counties. When
the districts are formed, it won't take an
extensive exploration to find Congress

has had three readings in the Senate and
has been favorably reported by the House
committee.
Another Senate bill in the same posi-
ton as regards legislative red tape is a
general law to provide for the change Of
location of polling places whenever ne
cessary without special Act Of the Leg
islature.
The Senate has one bill of general i'm
portance on its calendar that has passed
the House, and that is declaring the law
and providing punishment for disturb
ances of religious meetings.
It hardly seems probable that the Me-
tropolitan Police, Dispensary, County
government or any of the Acts known as

bled this year. Mr.. Childs has bill in
the House to change the dispensary law
so as to limit the sales of liquor to medi.
cal and sacramental purposes solely. It
will probably be buried in the Commit
tee.
Mr.. McCullough's bill to require Coun-
ty officers to keep their offices open GER
tain hours of every week day, was SO
cut up by the delegations as to leave it
applicable to hardly any other County in
the State than his own, Greenyille. There
is an objection to this kind of legislation,
it serving to so complicate the State laws
as to bewilder one. It is not improbable
that if it becomes law that one by one
other Counties will be added to it as tim Q
goes on.

tied to the 2i3 grandees. many of them
untitled, who enjoy innumerable priv
ilc"es, including those Of remaining
seated and covered in the presence of
royalty, and of access to the sovereign
AT all times. Admission to the grandeza
is exceedingly difficult to obtain, for it
is necessary to prove a long line of blue
blooded ancestry, unsullied either on
the paternal or on the maternal side by
any plebeian strain. The ancient cere-
mony of comforting the grandeza is
termed an almohada. and is extremely
rare. Queen Christina has held but two
