But the OmceSeel<ers Continue to

Atlanta Ga, Nov. To-day was an off
day with the legislature Tomorrow will
be another. The members have gone home
to see their families and take hand in
the congressional elections. This after
noon the joint committee, appointed TO
visit Tennessee and inspect the working
of the Australian ballot law, adopted by
that state, left for Memphis, where they
viii arrive in the morning. Upon their
return the committee will make report
TO the legislature, which is expected to
throw valuable light upon the subject
of ballot reform and enable the Georgia
lawmakers to frame an act that will be a
panacea for all the election Ills that now
harass the state.
GOV. Gambler does not get much rest on
account of the absence Of the legislature,
however. He is stilI pursued by the office
seekers and their friends. His reception
room was crowded to-day the same as
every other day since his Inauguration.

TO MAKE NEW RULES.

Lawyers Want Different Methods o;
AssisnirG Cases i'm the City Court
The members of the Savannah bar held
a meeting in the City Court room yester-
day morning for the purpose of consider
ing the matter of making a change in the
mode of assigning cases in that court
The meeting was called in accordance with
a petition presented to Judge Norwood,
signed by about thirty-five members Of the
bar.
The members of the bar particularly de-
sired that some arrangement be made for
a time for taking up the motion docket.
They stated in their petition that they
frequently found ii more difficult 10 dis
pose of that kind of business than to have
cases tried.
After some little discussion of the ques-
ton, it was decided to appoint a commit
tee of six from the members of the bar
to report rules with regard to the assign
ment of cases and the hearing of motions
The appointment of this committee was
left to Judge Norwood, and he was made
its ex-officio chairman. The other five
members of the committee, as appointed
by the court, are Messrs. Walter G
Charlton, S. B. Adams, R. r. Richards
H. d. D. Twiggs and J. R. Saussy.

atlanta Ca. Nov. THE plan adopted
by the railroads of the state TO apporton

OF the factors in this city 10 agitate the
question OF Illegally, and appeal to the
courts to break up the pool upon the
ground that ii is in violation Of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court against the
Joint Traffic Association. That decision
was that railroads could maintain no
agreement in the nature of contract OF
the maintenance of rates
The Georgia roads, or rather those lines
that comprised the old traffic association
have for several years past handled the
cotton crop under a plan of allotment.
Each year the representatives of the roads
would meet and after estimating the crop
divide it out among themselves. Each line

when as the movement of the crop pro
gressed, il appeared that any one line had
received what il had been allotted, then
the business was diverted until things were
xvened up. This was done to protect the
roads from rate cutting, and secret re-
bates, 10 which the weaker lines would
resort to get business in competition with
the strong ones.
The local factors, who are now com
planning about this physical pool, claim
that they are put to a great deal of in
convenience and sometimes TO serious de-
lays by this plan. They claim that il
takes a whole day to go through the red
tape necessary before a bill of lading
can be secured, and that they have no
control over the routing of their cotton,
often being diverted by longer route
and thereby subjected TO veNatious de-
lays and loss
Kay, Parrot & Co. and the Maddox
Rucker Company are said to be the lead
ers In this complaint.
A conference between the cotton men
and the railroad representatives will be
held, il is said, in a few days TO smooth
things out The cotton men say they do
not want to take the matter into the
courts, if they can help it, but they will
do so unless there is a more favorable
turn in the regulations of the pool,
