The Cabaniss-J ohnson-Jo fertlli-
ger bill, as substituted by Mr.. Turnip-
seed of Clay was passed by the house
almost unanimously. The substitute
modifies the measure as originally
drawn. 1t reduces the forfeiture
clause, and eliminates the misdemean-
or and note-vitiating features. The 8
per cent. minimum leeWay remains,
and requires manufacturers to brand
on the sacks not only the elements
entering into the finished product, but
the source of those elements as well.
1t canont be said of Joe Hill Hall
as 1t was of certin noted treasury
watchdog in congress:
Sweet the watch-dog's honest bark
AS he bays deep-mouth welcome
When we draw near home"
The constitution is the same to Colo
mel Hall when Macon or Bib county
is involved. This he proved when
he fought vigorously in the appropri-
ations committee against the state
contributing $4,000 to be given as
prizes for exhibits made at the state
fairs of the next two years which will
be held in Macon. The resolution ap-
propriating the money was offered by
Representative Holtzclaw of Houston
in lieu of bill previously introduced
appropriatilg $4,000 for the erection
of permanent state fair buildings in
the Central City 1t provided that the
state give to the State Agricultural
college $4,000 for each of the next
two years. the same to be used in
offering prizes for agricultural exhib-
its at the state fair.
There will be no prohibition legisla-
tion at this session of the Georgia leg
islature. This became conclusive when
the house adjourned for the day, and
Mr.. McElreath of Fulton, chairman
of the appropriations committee, an
nounced that ae will call up the ap-
preparations bill. This means that If
the Cabaniss-J ohnson-Joiner fertilizer
measure is not disposed of, it will
have to go over to some day later in
the session and take its chances with
the rush of work incident to the clos
ing
A bill appropriating $40 to meet
some old expense bills left by the
convict investigating committee of
1908 was recommended.
1t was decided to recommend an APP
preparation of $4,000 to be used in pre-
serving Fort Fredrica, built in st.
Simons Island by General Oglethorpe.
