Such is the rumor ia political
circles now So far. il is merely
speculation, but several men in
touch with political affairs in Geor-
gia say it is by no means improbable
that the change viii be made.
Governor Hoke Smith is quoted as
having said that he would prefer
change to the old winter sessions Of

seph NJ Terrell vetoed the bill which
changed the sessions to June though
the assembly passed it over his veto.
Ii was argued at that time that the
sessions would suit the mem

and state officials so many months be-
fore the beginnings Of their term Of

it is conceded that Governor Brown
win be inducted into office at the
next term. The law requires that
