Although. in substance, all of the doz-
we're much like those he delivered in
Massachusetts and Maryland, they diff

TWO BIC MUNICIPAL FIGHTS IN GE0RGIA PhOphesied Two Street Rail- way Companies Will Be
 Made Defendants

Atlanta, January 9.-(Special) 1.-Two big municipal fights are in prospect this year in Georgia, according to a keen observer of tue trend of events
 This Georgian prophecies a dispute be- tween the people of Macon and the street railway company of that city which will. in all probability be fought out before the state railroad commission. There have been number of complaints as to service, and he says indications are that the scrap is soon coming to head.
 The other row is promised between the city of Atlanta and the Georgia Railway and Electric company which operates the street cars of Atlanta and Fulton county, furnishes current for lights and power and supplies Atlanta with gas and steam heat.
 There Is no particular cause of com plaint as to the street railway service, the gas or the steam heat; but there is pend ing now a dispute between the city cleo trician and the company regarding the cost for current to operate Atlanta's great white way. That official claims the city is paying too much for the cur rent, and that 1t Is not protected under the terms of the contract. He has re- fused to approve the proposed new con tract with the company.
 In addition to this Atlanta's five year contract with the company for city light ing, expires March 1, 19l3 and d new contract must be made by the present council. Already a demand has been voiced for reduction in rates, not only fo' current to light the city, but for that furnished to private parties for lighting and power. In making the last contract the city secured valuable concessions from the company on behalf of the con- sumers, but there is considerable com plaint that the price Is still too high. There is a possibility of a tie up over the city contracts which may only be settled by the railroad commission.
 Whether the city is really in earnest in the matter of establishing a municipal lighting plant, to investigate the feasibil- fly of which the finance committee Is about to set aside $i0oOo. remains to be developed.

LEGAL ID SELL JURY EXEMPT TONS

Atlanta, January 9.--(Special.) )-Irans- actions in jury exemptions, Attorney Gen. eraI T. S. Fielder holds, are not bounded by county lines, and a military company may sell the exemptions allowed it by law anywhere in the state.
 It appears that the local militia in Columbus did not have enough jury exemptions to supply the local demand. Each company Is entitled to 30. which it may sell to citizens at $25 each, putting the proceeds into the company treasury, and the holder is ever thereafter relieved from jury duty. The attorney general held that it is perfectly proper and legal for companies in the battalion outside of Columbus to sell their jury exemptions there, if they could find purchasers
 The organization of five new military companies In Atlanta, completing the Fifth infantry regiment here, means that jury exemptions win be plentiful in the Atlanta market. at least for a short time. The five companies combined have 15O jury exemptions to dispose of at S25 per, but there is little doubt that they will find a ready sale for them here. If not there will be plenty of demand around Atlanta to take up the entire lot.

POSTPONE MEETING

Atlanta, January 9.-(Special )--It was thought some time ago that tho leglsla- tive committee appointed to investigate the state department of agriculture
 would hold it's meeting here in advance of tho special session of the general as- | seinbly called for January 24 to inaugur- ate. the new governor, and make it's re- port at that time.
 It developed, however. that this could not be done, as the extraordinary session can do nothing but naugurate the gov ernor It cannot consider any other leg islative matter requiring action of any sort. and the only other thing that will go before 1t will be a report from Gov ernor Slaton regarding the pardons and communications he has granted during his 50 days administration. The legislature will merely receive and file the message The law requires this report 10 be made and this will be the only opportunity Governor Slaton will have to make it.
 The agricultural Investigating commit tee has decided to hold It's meeting im- mediately following the adjournment of the special session. Under the resolu- ton 1t can remain in session only ten days; but 1t now has before it the full report of Commissioner T. G. Hudson re- garding the employees and the expenses of his department, and there is nothing to hinder it's getting through in short or der.
 The chief investigation 10 be made by this committee will involve tho present system of inspecting fertilizers and oil. under which the commissioner of agri- culture has the power and authority to name as many inspectors as he wishes. The result has been multiplicity of em- pioyes in the department. It Is under stood the committee will recommend some new system for conducting these inspections both with view to reducing the number of employees and decreasing the expense. to the state.
