Against Filters in Guano. Fa-
+ yOrs Biennial Sessions.
Hon. D. c. Pickett, the newly
elected member from Terrell county
to fill the unexpired term, left Tues
day for Atlanta to be present when
the general assembly meets in an
nual session today.
For the frst time in a number of
years there is no local bill to be
introduced for Terrell county or any
of it's towns.
Mr. Pickett, before his departure,
stated to The News that he is de-
cidedly in favor of rotating the SUI
perior court judges of the state, and
will introduce bill early in the ses-
Ision providing for it. He believes that
la judge, instead of combining his work
to one circuit as at present, should
be shifted to other circuits until he
has presided over the courts of all
the circuits of the state. There has
been talk of such a law for a num-
Der of years, in fact ever since the
court judges was adopted, and there
are many who favor legislation on the
line of Mr.. Pickett's proposed bill.
Will Push Guano Bill.
Senator Irwin states that he will
not introduce any new bills, but will
push the bill he introduced at the
last session to make it unlawful to
put filters in commercial fertilizers.
He says that he hopes to secure it's
passage at the session now conyen-
| ing.
Mr.. Irwin was one of the opponents
OF the bill for biennial sessions of
the legislature at the last session of
that body. He informs The News
that he now favors the passage of
this bill, as he believes the people
want fewer laws and fewer sessions
Iot the law-making body. He is of
the opinion that the bill will be
passed this summer. 1t was passed
by the senate last year, and is now
pending in the house.
One of the first questions to be
taken up will be the sixteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution pro-
Vldlng for an income tax. This
measure was pending in the senate
last summer.
The dog tax law which was passed
by the legislature last year will prob
ABLY be repealed this year. 1t is
known that a strong effort viii be
made to have the act repealed

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The few days CT

WOULD STOP SUNDAY DELIVERY
Movement on Foo. to Suspend Post

NORFOLK, VA. Dec. Am effort
is now on foot to have all Sunday
work suspended at the Norfolk post
Office as an experiment looking to
the abolition of Sunday distribution
and other handling of United States
mails on the Sabbath.
Tie Postoffice Clerks Association
has appointed a committee to appear
before the various ministerial organi-
cations and ask for the cooperation
of the preachers along this line.
The postoffice clerks contend that
only small per cent. of the people
demand Sunday mails ard that the
total of Sunday observance would be
a great blessing to postal employees
as a class.
