The legislature adopted all the reform
measures mapped out by the Governor with the
exception of the anti-lObby and anti pass bills
These bills passed severally both houses, but III
the final hours of the session they failed to agree,
There is doubt about the enactment OF these
measures at the next session.
OF Fitzgerald o Pull Out
The little drug war that is going will not
hurt anybody. 1t was the least bit dull when the
war was started and it is powerful good advertis-
ing for the drug stores. The will soon be over
and medicine will be high as ever. The soda
fOunt drinks were little too steep under the OLD
rule, and we dare say the founts made less money
under the ten cent rule, than they are making at
Ave cents per drink.
for Fitzgerald o.
The railroad commission is now composed of
1--WE members, in spite of the strongest and most
persistent lobby that undertook to influence
legislation in Georgia From the moment that
Gov Smith was inaugurateJ, campaign, intended
to defeat his efforts to correct the evils existing i'll
the railroad commission organized at that time
was prosecuted. When it became apparent that
the house would stand by the administration the
lobby was focused the Senate, and day after day
the fight was kept up until the very last hours of
the session The final success of the bill charging
the commission from three to five members was
death blow to the most pernicious influence that
stood out against the administration reforms.

So far as the Gazette has seen, there are only
two pro ROddenbery papers i'll line. One is pub
Iished in his home town and is doubtless animated
by a commendable local pride; the otheris publish
ell in the Eleventh congressional district, and isan
mated by a bitter malice and personal hatred
which the frost of thirteen winters have not
ed to cool.-TiftOn Gazette
The Enterprise is not published in the eleventh
congressional district; now at home in the
third, but animated alright, and our ami
nation is quite sufficient to overflow the border

A few months before the nomination of the pres

the same claim made by several OF our ex-

But John, don't fret about the line up of the
