Atlanta, July 16-The general as
Sembly got down to business the thirc
week of the session, and kept at it siz
days last week. 1t held its first Satur
day session, but passed eleven local bills
in less than thirty minutes and ad-
journed for the day. However, that is
all it could do, as the Saturday sessions
are limited to action on local matters
and only eleven bills were ready fOl
final action. The senate, more leis-
urely body, adjourned over from Fri
day until Monday.
The feature of the session Monday
July 6, was a letter from President
Wilson acknowledging the action of the
Georgia house in passing a resolution
commenting the administration.
The house also passed a resolution al
lowing the Georgia Woman Suffrage as

Airing the Military Row

For several months strained relations
have existed between Adiutant-General
Nash and Quartermaster-G Obear
of the National Guard of Georgia. Gen
eral Nash requested the governor to
abolish the Office of quartermaster, stat
ing that the new requirement of the
war department made this office unneces-
sary.
Governor Slaton declined to follow
this recommendation, and said the mat
ter would have to be settled by the leg
Elsture. Therefore, two factions have
arisen. One bill authorizes the governor
to abolish the Office; another bill gives
him authority to reduce the rank of the
acknowledgement to major, but
without abolishing the Office.
Right here affairs seem to have halted
The military committees of house and
senate do not seem anxious to go into
the fuss, realizing, perhaps, that it won't
be pleasant and that a good deal of bit
terneSS viii likely be aroused.
Both General Nash and General Obear
have strong and influential friends in
the legislature and in military circles.

Georgia, with Paramount as the county
seat, and Bacon, in South Georgia, witt
Alma as the county seat, arc possible
