ERAL MATTERS,
HALL OFFERS RESOLUTION
LIMITING THE NUMBER OF EN-
PLOYEs OF HOUSE.


Atlanta, Oct. 30-Mr. Halls resolu-
ton to limit the number of employees
of the House, appointed by the Speak
er and the doorkeeper was referred to
the Appropriations Committee. Mr..
Hall wanted to discuss the matter, and
wanted to be informed as to who has
authority to make appointments in the
House. He said there ought to be some
law on the subject. Speaker Norris
suggested that he introduce a bill COW
ering the ground. Mr.. Cann's motion
prevailed (Mr. Cam of Chatham max
the motion.) This resolution would,
If passed, have the effect OIL cutting on
five of the present assistant doorkeep-
ers in the House. and Mr.. Hall has
threatened that no appropriations shall
be made to pay their salaries.
Mr.. Hall introduced a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of a stand
ing finance committee under Section
3l4 of the Code. The resolution was re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules.
A bill and a resolution were intro
duced in the House with the object
of doing away with the office of spe
cal attorney of the Western and At
Il. Brown.
The resolution was by Mr.. Knight
of Berrien, and the bill by Mr.. Akin
of Barlow. Both stated that as there
was no longer any need for the serv-
ices of such an officer, and as the work
to be done could easily be looked after
by the Attorney General, the office
should be abolished. They were re-
ferred to the General Judiciary Com
mittee.
Senator Lee has introduced a similar
bill in the Senate as was stated yester-
day
A resolution was introduced in the
House by Mr. Buchan of Dodge to pay
Solicitor General John +. Delacey of the
Oconee Circuit his salary of $6250 for
the last quarter of last year.
1t appears that Mr.. Delacey forgot
for the time being that there was any
thing coming to him. Under the law
unless this amount is drawn from the
! treasury within a specified time IL goes
| back into the general fund ana cannot
be paid out by the Governor. Mr.. De-
lacey overlooked the matter for one
! quarter, and the result is he had to ask
the Legislature to fix it for him.
Speaker Morris announced to the
House that he would appoint his
standing committees tomorrow. He
was compelled to wait until after the
adoption of the rules, he said and he
has also been delayed in the work OF
selecting his committees by sickness in
his family.
The same old fight on the state uni
versity made its appearance in the
House to-day. A bill was introduced
by Mr.. Darlington, of Madison. provid-
ing for removing the Agricultural Col
lege from Athens to Conner, Ga. Conner
is a little town in Madison county, on
the Seaboard Air Line. The PROPOSE
ton to move it there is rather a new
one. former suggestions having been
made to take 1t to Griffin.
Messrs. Hardman of Jackson and
Shackelford of Clarke introduced a bill
in the House providing for teaching the
elementary branches Of agriculture and
the elements of civil government in all
of the public schools of the state DR..
Hardmans idea is to make the schools
as practical as possible, and especially
to inform children In the country along
lines which will be of value to them
in after-life. The bill, 1t is stated. has
many friends.
A number of new local bills were in
troduced in the House.
John Crawford, a 14-year-old boy,
and a page in the House of Represent
tatives, was the subject of some inter-
esting legislation by that body to-day,
