,TTANTA, Ca, June 21.-The
'.lotnre will meet in annual ses-
i tomorrow. June 22nd is the
,..,+ date at which it can convene
anv year, as it must meet on the
~ Wednesday in the month.

rost nossible date, August 10th.
rborA is considerable question as
,r1a+ may be expected at this ses-
As is we'll known. the present
oraI assembly is not very largely
4 sympathy with the administration.
+ doubtful, therefore, if the ad-
;nistration will be able to secure
enactment of many of the pro-
lions of the platform upon which
|Drerpor Brown was nominated.
For Paying the Teachers.
Tor instance, there is Governor
I .oun's recommendation providing
II $500 600 bond issue with which
4 create a loan fund by which the
oto teachers may be paid prompt
There is little question that Gov
NOR Brown will renew this recon-
ondation in his forthcoming mes
90 but this plan has been attacked
Dramatically by the other side, and
ere is decided doubt, despite the
aste's duty in the premises, about
going through.
The governor has stated that he is
H welded to this particular plan,
! # desires only to bring about sit
btion whereby the teachers may all
Maid when their money is due.
he plan he has suggested recon-
ends itself to him, but if the legis-
ture can get one it likes better ac-
bmplishing the same end he will APP
rove it. There arises, however, the
sIestion as to whether a legislature
Ot in sympathy with the governor
Hi do anything in this direction, be-
buse of the fact that such action
Sould give him the credit for it.
That Governor Brown is going to
commend repeal or decided modi-
batiOn of the present registration
Nv, which requires that the regis
sation books shall close six months
advance of the state election, is a
bregOne conclusion. 1t is also I'M
iheStioned that efforts will be made
the general assembly to carry out
bis recommendation. Again, the at
stude of the general assembly makes
questionable as to whether any
ping remedial in this respect can be
fcomplished. 1t is well known that
Pc So-called 'reformers" are bent
p keeping this law on the statute
poks just as it stands, and there is
Pnsiderable doubt as to whether
Pen a reasonable modification of it
IN be secured. 1t will depend prob
ply very much on whether the peo-
Ee have taken sufficient interest in
to urge their representatives to
Eek to bring about such modifica-
ION, regardless of their political at
ltude
