Atlanta, July 14.-The house of rep
resentatives met Saturday at 8 o'clock
having promptly voted down the res
olution of Mr. Porter, of Floyd, to ad-
journ to Monday morning at 10 a. N.
Contrary to its usual custom, the
house reconsidered the action of
Thursday in defeating the resolution
making the child labor bill of Mr.. Bell,
of Fulton, a special order, and adopt
ed a resolution making the bill the
special order for Monday, July 1G.
There is no doubt of the passage of
the bill, many Of its former oppo-
neat having now declared their inten-
tion OF supporting it, and it will meet
with practically no opposition
By a unanimous vote the house has
adopt a resolution inviting the Hon
st. George Tucker, president of the
Jaliest3-,D exposition, to address the
general q asembiy at noon Tuesday,
July H. upon the purposes and scope
OF the exposition. MIR Tucker, who
for years represented his district in
VII. mia IL the national house of rep
.rcsenta-is IS, will speak in advocacy
of the states resources at the James
town exposition.
A number Of local bills were passed
by the house but the attendance was
for the greater part of the day less
than 100, and general measures which
came up for consideration in their
turn upon the calendar were received
with such apathy that their authors
in a number CT instance tabled the
measures, preferring that they be con-
sidered at more favorable time.
1t looked favorable for the passage
Of the bill OF Messrs. Hardman and
Holder. Of Jackson, to require all per
sons Opc*a,ia& cutting machines to
provide certain appliances for the pre-
serT&t0n cf human life, but the law
yers Of the body attacked the bill on
the ground that it would be prolific of
the measure.
The bill provides that every owner
Of cutting machinery shall keep
rubber tourinquet for use in suppress
ing hemorrhages following accidents,
and a hyopdermio syringe for the in
lection of saline solution, some per-
son in every such establishment to be
charged with the duty of keeping and
using these appliances in case of ac-
cident, failure to provide them and
use them subjecting the owners of the
establishment to a suit for damages.
Only one matter Of any consequence
to the state at large came before the
senate and that was the introduction
of a bill by Senator Peyton, providing
for creation of the office of state SUI
pervisor of educational Institutes.
The bill provides that every coun-
ty must possess a school institute for
teachers and they must be profession
al in their course. A teacher may
receive a certificate from one of these
institutes if able to meet the require
ments of an examination.
Senator Bond presided in the alb
sence of President West. The latter
went to the funeral of his nephew,
William Lane, in Valdosta. ResoIu-
tions were passed expressing regret
for the death of Mr.. Lane. After
40 minutes session, the senate ad-
1ourned until Monday at noon.
