COURT BILL RESTING.
Senator Cam on Local Bills in the
Legislature.


Senator ]. Ferris Cam does not be-
lieve that Representative Hitch's City
Court bill will reach the Senate. He
so stated yesterday before leaving for
Atlanta.
Senator Cam has not made up his
mind how he would vote, even if the
bill should happen to reach the Senate.
He says Mr. Hitch is not pressing the
bill. He expressed a desire to Senator
Cam to hear from those who are OPP
posing the bill. 1t has never been his
purpose or intention, he said, to rau-
road it through, in opposition TO ms
constituents. Senator Cam says mat
MIR. Hitch is DESTROYS of hearing from
ali who are interested in the bill, and
that he is not trying to run 1t IN oVtr
a protest.
Senator Cam has formed no opinion
of the bill providing for the election
Of city CfiCers by the incoming boafu
of aldermen. He has not seen copy
of it, he said, and has not declded
what course he will pursue II the Dill
reaches the Senate. Those VINO are
advocating it's passage say that 1t VIII
certainly become a law, while those
who are opposing it are equally sure
that il viii never be passed. ms
roo. DESPITE the fact that Representa-
tives Harden and Wells have ANNOUNCE
ed in favor of it. 1t is claimed that
from the time that the bill IS lntro-
duced to the adjournment OF the Leg
islature will be less than two weeks,
ana that with any opposition a. an II
cannot be passed in that time Ahose
behind tie move, however say ma
Repraser.alive Harden will push 1t 10
the front, and that it will become
law before the Legislature adJourns.
The anti-cigarette bill is still being
considered. but will probably be dlspos>
ed of this week. The Senate referred
the bill to a special committee OF Whlch
Snator Cam is chairman. For TINS red-
son the Senator can express no OPINION
ON the measure at this time, put-lI Is
generally believed that a coffin mas al
ready been purchased for the bill. Inc
delav in passing on the question mas
been due to the fact that DR.. Lem ".
Rrouefhton has expressed a desire TO
sneak to the committee in favor or the
measure. This the Atlanta minister VIII
do this week. His appearance oetore
the committee promises to be one OF the
most interesting incidents connected
with the present Legislature. Dr
Rroughton has been credited as saying
that a. person who has smoked cigar
cites for ten years will lie and steal,
and cannot be trusted. There are many
who do not agree with him on this
ratlheF violent opinion, and there may
be some on the committee.
Senator Cam is of the opinion That
the bill providing for the teaching, IN
the public schools, of the evils OF alco-
holism will be passed, with minor
amendments. The, bill has attracted
considerable attention and will proba-
bly, become a law before the present
Legislature expires.

PRAISED TARVER's EXHIBIT.
what the state Fair Educational
Committee said of 1t.

what the state Fair Educational
Committee said of 1t.
The committee that observed the ex-
hibit of Mr. w. H. Tarver at the state
Fair rendered a most complimentary
estimate of it's worth. Mr.. George a.
Mercer. Jr.. and Mr.. Lester Huboen
constituted the committee, which was
that on education, and it's report upon
Mr.. Tarvers exhibit was as follows:
.,rhis exhibit OF rare works of art,
antiques, and of reproductions or an
Gent and eminent authors, was one
of the most interesting and instructive
adiuncts of the Fair. The collection
showed great industry and nice sense
of selection in it's collector, Mr.. w. II.
Tarver. and was an undertaking that
must have cost him great deal OF
time and money. AS displayed at the
Fair, this collection was truly most
interesting study to those who take an
interest in matters of this kind, and
would make a most appropriate hu-
cleus for a public library.
Your committee regretted exceed
ingly that there was no prize offered
this year for an exhibition of TINS
character, and your committee feels
that it would be appropriate to suggest
to the Fair Association the awarding
of a blue ribbon or some other special
mark of distinction to Mr.. Tarver for
this exhibit, and that the association
hereafter offer a special prize for this
kind of work The association should
encourage in every way the gathering
together and preservation of the early
historical and literary productions that
are at the foundation of our state his
tory and traditions. Your committee,
therefore feels that as an auxiliary to
the educational exhibit the exhibit of
Mr.. Tarver deserves special mention,
and the efforts of it's collector should
meet the hearty approval and encour-
agement of all good citizens of the
state"

LAKE CITY NEWS.
Frost Has Been Very Regular and
Much Seed Cane Hns Been Lost.

Frost Has Been Very Regular and
Much Seed Cane Hns Been Lost.
Lake City, Fla, Nov. SO.-A meeting
of the turpentine men Of this section
was held in this city Thursday and
nearly all operators for fifty miles
around were present. The organization
is a branch of the general organiza-
ton of operators that was organized at
Pensacola q few months ago. The
following named gentlemen were elect
cd as officers of this sub organizations:
President, D. ]. Herrin of Olustee;
secretary, D. w Monroe of Blackjack;
treasurer, H. W. Raiford of Raiford.
The bulk of the crops have been
gathered, and while the yield has not
been as we'll as usual, it is far bet
ter than was at first expected. Cotton
has made a splendid showing under
such unfavorable conditions and other
crops have turned out in pretty good
shape.
Ever since the 14th of this month we
have had frost every morning, and
this is something which was never
known for this section before. AS
result it is thought that much seed
cane will be lost and that the crop of
sugar and syrup will be very short.
1t seems that the cane is souring and
the farmers have not the facilities for
handling it fast enough to save it.
The Street Committee hefe ordered
something over fifteen cars cf hard
rock and will begin the work of paw
ing the streets within few days. 1t
is the intention of the city authorities
TO pave every street in the city before
they stop.

THE HORSE sWAPPERs.
Had "A Great Convention at Adrian.
Many Trades.

Adrian Ga, Nov. 30.-The horse
swappers convention, which has been
in session here since Thursday, has
brought together quite an aggregation
of men and animals from the sur
rounding country. The weather has
been fine and the swapping lively.
Everybody seems to be in good humor
and highly enjoying the occasion. The
camp was out of town beyond munich
pal jurisdiction, yet the crowd is as
orderly and well behaved as any old
time camp-meeting of Methodist.
Many horses and mules changed hands.
and horse swappers were not all the
people who did business. The mer-
chants had a lively time and good
sales. Homeseekers were in evidence
at the real estate office of Messrs.
Godfrey & Williams, and they say they
met some prospective purchasers of
Adrian realty.

SUDGE SPEER'S DECISION.
Priv ate Sanitarium Law I'm ViO-

Macon, Ga, Nov. 3O.-In the habeas
corpus proceedings in the United States
District Court here tod day Judge Speer
declared the section of the Georgia law
permitting private sanitariums to re-
ceive patients and hold them at the will
of the proprietor, without the consent
of the patient to be in violation of the
fourteenth amendment of the United
States constitution, and therefore null
and void. The decision was rendered in
the case of Samuel Evans, a banker oil
Milledgeville, Ga, who had been placed
in a private sanitarium of that place
by his wife, to be kept in confinement
at the will of the proprietor. Evans
was released by order of Judge Speer.
