States Attorney Van Wiakle, OF
Morgan county. presented the ques-
tion by citing the case OF the city of
Jacksonville is an election precinct
comprising twelve voting districts.
The attorney general holds that
the proposition OF becoming anti-sa-
loon territory must, in counties not
under township organization. be sub
mltted to the voters OF the entire
precinct. and that the word "pre-
cinct" applies collectively. and not
separately. to the twelve districts
which go TO make up the Jackson
willie precinct He further holds that
the petition of the voters in any one
district would not give that district
alone the right TO submit the ques-
ton OF anti-saloon territory.

LET us BE CAREFUL.

The Farmers Union Guide has
an ambition, the outgrowth of an in
spiration, to be what it's name i'm
piies-a Guide to the union.
On this point it would advise the
union to be watchful Of the question
of immigration.
The Board of Trade of Little
Rock, Arkansas, has passed reso
luton condemning the Farmers Un-
ION as a menace to the growth of
Arkansas because it has placed itself
on record against immigration.
The Guide would advise the union
OF Arkansas to be cautious, yes, very
cautious, III the way they meet reso-
luton.
We believe, when it comes to
show down, in fighting; but right
here, In order to explain our posi-
ton, we will ask this question: How
do we know that these attacks against
the union are not premeditated for
AS PNA POoO VI uAoWIIlS Cu0 OfSdnl-
zation out, confusing and dividing
It's ranks and finally destroying its
true sims?
The Guide does not make an ac-
cusation, but simply wants it readers
to think.
The Farmers Union is on record
as opposed to the low class of immi-
grants coming into our country and
against the objective purpose of
securing the slums of Europe for
this class to bring in competition
with respectable home labor.
From this position it should never
swerve, but it should be guarded and
not allow the enemy's fire to lure
it into the trap they have set for
its complete ruin.
There is no danger if we will be
on guard.
Let us act with precaution. Be
sure we are right and then deliber-
ately carry out our plans regardless
OF the wailings and howls of the
Boards of Trade and of the CONNER
cial journals.-Union Guide.

the existing insurance laws of Geor-
gia.
The committees, both from the
house and senate, worked harder
than usual this year and there are
hundreds of bills favorably report
ed which were never placed upon
their passage.
Notable among these are the pure
election measures by Mr.. Wright Of
Richmond, to prohibit the purchase
and sales of ballots; to prohibit cor
porate contributions to campaign pur-
poses; to make candidates file an
itemized statement of campaign ex-
penses. The bills by Mr. Hall, of
Bib: To make all railroads operate
under Georgia charters; to make it
misdemeanor to pay another's taxes
to register that person; to prohibit
judge from directing a jury verdict
The bill by Mr.. Adams, of Chatham,
to provide for the creation Of juve-
nile courts. The bill by Mr.. Black
burn, OF Fulton, to organize a state
patrol; that of Mr.. Lumsden, Of
White, to register all dogs, and many
others.
Under the head of "nearly legis-
lation" comes the bill by Mr.. Mar
tin, of Elbert, which raises the price
of fertilizer tags from 10 to 25 cents.
1t was hoped by the terms of this bill
to raise 100000 to support the
eleventh district and university Of
agriculture. The bill was passed in
the house by rousing vote, but was
never passed in the senate. The clean
sheet bill by Mr.. McMichael, of Ma
rion, also joined the tag bill on the
waiting list Of the senate, which num-
Der was afterwards increased by
many more of more or less impor-
tance. .
List of Last Bills.
Among the last bills to be passed
were the two Of widespread interest.
The first was that by Senator Dobbs,
whereby railroads are compelled to
furnish refrigerator cars for the
immediate use of shippers after being
ordered and providing a heavy penal
ty for noncompliance. The other
was a "Sunday BILL" It was that
Of DIR. Hardman in the senate, pro-
viding for the creation of state
board Of examiners for trained
nurses. Mr.. Gambler had this bill
passed the last thing, in the house,
before the general tax act was adopt
ed.
Altogether the session was most
fruitful, but there were as many
peaches, left on the legislative tree,
and just as large, as those shaken
down by the big stick.
The house adjourned Sunday morn
ing in a good humor. Repeated re-
cesses were taken between midnight
and adjournment. During these lulls
there were mock sessions of the leg
islature with various humorists in the
speakers chair; other wits about the
floor and a general jolifcatiOn all
