mistake for the Governor to require
the members of the Legislature to
commit themselves concerning the
proposed amendments, prior to the
meeting of that body and as a
prerequisite to the calling of the
special session. 1t seems to US that
it would be improper for a leglsla-

Prompt action is of course important
in this matter, and it would be
some salts faction to know that a
special session would not be futile,
which we hope it will not be, but
that cannot be known without plac-

willing to pass judgment upon a
question before they have officially

They had searched everywhere

THE OLD, OLD SONGS.

Oh, the old. old songs, and the dear
dead songs,
Like a phantom ralce they haunt the
place
And the scenes that were loved of
yore;
And their voice still walls down for
gotten trails
To camps of the long ago,
Where the miners met when the eve
had set,
Its dusk on the wales below.
Sweet Annie Laurie, one health to
her,
Maid OF our visions kind.
For ever her face assumes the grace
OF "The Girl That I Left Behind"
Another, another till dawn paints red
The east meath its star-lit dome;
Then a final glass, and the dream
shall pass
To the shadows of "Home, Sweet
Home"
oh, the old, old songs; I can hear
them yet
When the weary world is asleep
Meath it's comfort gray, with the
stars away
Their ward over its dreams to keep;
And see the faces-now worn and
gray,
Or touched by the spectral king
And the miners sit where the shad-
ows fit,
And the old, old songs they sing
| A. ]. Waterhouse, in Atlanta Con-
stitution.

DISAPPROVES PORTION
 OF MONTVlLLE HIGHWAY. Portion Near Railroad Tracks 19o Feet Long Can Be Avoided-Second Part Approved by Judge Greene.

The memorandum of the decision of the suit of Frank w. Browning ct al.
 vs. the town of Montville before Judge
 Gardiner Greene has been filed with
 the clerk of the New London county
 superior court. The petitioners ask
 for the approval of a new highway in
 the town of Montville, which has been
 laid in two parts, within 100 yards of
 the New London Northern Railroad
 company. When a highway runs with
 in 100 yards of railroad track their
 proximity to each other is likely to
 cause danger to those using the high
 way, if not. to those using the railroad. Is there danger in this case, and do public convenience and necessity in
 this case require that such danger as
 the proximity causes should be in cured?
 Judge Greene finds that in the sec- ond part mentioned in the petition, 1 2630 feet long, at it's nearest point 162 feet from the railroad, there is no other route for a highway, and does , not find that the danger is so great
 that it should be allowed to prevent the building of the highway. Regard ing the first part mentioned in the pe- tition, 190 feet long, at its nearest point 1 267 feet away. Judge Greene finds less 1 danger than in the second part, but { there are other objections, and in view ] of the facts that the highway is laid 1 out there in such proximity merely ] that a bridge may there be construct | ed and that such a bridge would be i expensive to a degree out of proportion 1 to the ability of the municipality, con- | sidered in connection with the public l travel to be accommodated, and that it is possible to vary the layout so as
 to avoid the danger and apparently
 diminish the expense. Judge Greene
 disapproves as to the first part de- l scribed in the petition.

Morning shoppers are no losers.
 They get the choice of goods, be- cause there is not the disadvantage of crowds, while clerks have more time to devote to customers.
