WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE
Number of Bills of That Went
Thought the Hopper.

During the two sessions of the pres
, eDt legislature 1859 bills and resolu.
tions were introduced in the house.
COG during the session of 1902 and 653
during the session that has just closed
This being so it will be seen that the
summer session ran ahead of the win
ter session by nearly so measures, and
that is consequence session of twenty
days IN which TO transact the business
of the session would have been alb
surd to think of.
AT the session held last year $50 bills
and resolutions were passed and at the
session just closed the total number of
measures passed in the house was 474.
About so bills were passed at the last
session creating new school districts,
aud in some counties fully half doz-
en- were created to single county. 1t
is believed that the courts will be call
ed upon to pass upon the constitu-
tloualltv of these measures as soon as
steps are taken to collect school dis
trict tax from the railroads running
through them.

APPOINTS SMOKE COMMISSION
Copper SmeIters Running Crops
in North Georgia.

Smoke from the Ducktown Copper
mines of Ducktown, Tenn, are killing
the trees, the crops and all other sorts
of vegetation in Union and Fanniu
counties in Georgia and Governor Ter
rell, under a resolution passed by the
general assembly, has named a COM
mission to investigate the trouble and
report, and suggest remedy flor the
evil if one can be found.
For the past year the smoke from
the shelters which are run at the
mines have played havoc with the
corn crops in the northern part of the
state, and the people of that section
are especially DESTROYS of getting rid
of the Nuisance.
The following compose the commits
sion: w. Z Gambler, of Union county
John H. Witzell, OF Fannin county:
State Geologist w. S. Yeates and State
Chemist w. S. McCandless.
This commission will make a trip
to the mines and the surrounding
territory as soon as possible, and will
make thorough examination of the
conditions as they exist.
