Works Until After IL O'clock Be-
fore Afixing His Signature to

Governor Brown has at last finished

. serious problems OF selecting a railroad
commissioner TO succeed S. G. McLendon,
a new judge for the recently created new
Atlanta circuit and the naming Of an ad-
Jutant general OF the state.
For the past two nights Governor
Brown has worked until II o'clock in or
der to get the mass OF bills passed by the
legislature out of the way. Several of
them presented problems which he want
ed TO consider carefully, and all OF the
general bills and two or three of the local
measures had aroused opposition.
One OF the bills which was particularly
perplexing was that introduced by Sena-
tor Rutherford, designed to protect the
names. rituals and insignia OF the Elks,
Knights OF Pythias and other secret or
ders from alleged encroachment by ne
gro societies and orders. The bill was
introduced during the last days Of the
session and passed the house on the very
last day. The negroes of the state were
vigorous in their opposition to the gov
ernor signing the bill. They asserted
that II he did Il would be the means of
many industrious, law-abiding negroes
leaving the state.

CAT HAS ADOPTED

cry wheeze, stalked back to her bed.
Then she laid the little rodent carefully
between her babies, licked its body and
began prrring.

more wonderful than the cats devotion to
the mouse is the mouses trust In the
cat. Here are two creatures that have
been the huntress and the hunted, i'm
placable enemies, ever since the world
began, nesting affectionateiy one against
the other The kittens seem as friendly
toward their adopted brother as their
mother is. They squirm and wriggie all
three of them together, without a hint Of
discord or disliking. They nurse together
and for the past day or so have come to
play together in their infant way.
The mouse is thriving in its strange
home. He has grown as fat and sleek as
ball OF butter. This has led some pes
simistic persons to suggest that the cat
Is simply fattening him to kill later on.
But the majority of people are unwilling
to impugn tabby's motives in any such
manner. 1t is simply one of those
whimsicalities which nature takes into
her myriad mind every thousand years or
so and by touch plants love where hate
had always been before.

afternoon. the cat had caught a mouse

capture, for she is an excellent forager

NO DRINKERS ACCEPTED.
The characteristic feature Of the new
concern lis its refusal to insure any ono

of intoxicants.' In this way, its promoters
declare, the. company can greatly reduce
the cost Of life insurance to It's policy
holders. They produce statistics to show
that the longevity OF the abstainer Is
from % to 80 per cent longer than that
OF the non-abstainer. Thus, they say, the
company.s risk.1s reduced and the premi-
ums can be made proportionaly smaller.

stock subscriptions, is now in Atlanta,
