AGAINST County Prosecutors.

TIE house defeated the Fullbright-
Heath bill to create the Office of county
prosecutors instead of solicitors general
by a vote of 81 to ca. As a constitu-
tional amendment it would have re-
quired two-thirdS, or 1913, votes in the
house.
1t seems quite clear from the Gc3ate
on this bill, Weighing the arguments 70"
and against it, that a big majority in
the house favor the wiping out Of the
fee system, but members differ or tie
means of accomplishing that end.
The senate passed the bill placing the
solicitors general on salaries Of $1,000
per annum, and this bill is likely to pass
the house.
Efforts are being made to establish

Atlanta, Ga, July 2i.-As an indica-
ton of the bent of mind of at least some
of the lawmakers, resolution was Of
fered in the house on July "a to adjourn
the general assembly on Saturday, Au-
gust l, twelve days before the expira-
ton of the statutory fifty days for the
legislature to do its annual work.
The fact that the resolution was voted
down by an overwhelming majority does
not change the fact that many members
are restless and want to get away. Sew
eral factors enter into the situation to
cause this feeling. Many members are
themselves candidates for reelection,
and not few of them have sharp Oppo'
sition at home. AS the legislature adj
journs August II and the state primary
occurs August 10, it is easy to see that
it places the member with opposition at
disadvantage in not getting home to
look after his "fences."
Another factor is the general state
primary and the fact that two United
States senator's, a governor and all, or
practically all, state house officers are
to be nominated. Scores of members of
the assembly are directly interested in
the candidacy of one or more candi-
dates and want to get away to help
their favorites.
Finally, the weather has been abnor-
mally hot, several measures have encoun-
tered or engendered hot fights, and not
a few fear agitation of the prohibition
question in some manner or shape, and
frankly want to avoid it, believing that
it will serve no good end,
These things all probably entered into
the minds of some thirty members who
voted for adjournment sine die August
l. Probably many others with the same
view voted against adjournment, fear
ing that charges might be made of
lodging action on certain important
pending legislation.

Child Labor Bill Passed House.

The Sheppard-Dorough child labor
bill passed the house on July "a by a
vote of 90 to A.
Two days debate preceded the vote
in which many spoke for and against
the. measure.
Under the terms Of the bill no child
under II can be employed IN mill, fac
tory, manufacturing establishment.
laundry or place Of amusement. The
Borough amendment struck out the fol
lowing named places from the original
bill: Mercantile establishments, hotels
restaurants, bootblack stands and mes
senger boys, This was done SO negro
bows might be employed.
Children under l6 years of age must
have attended school twelve months in
the year previous to being employed in
mills. City and county superintendent
of schools must supply mill owners with
certificates showing ages, and these are
in turn to be filed with the commissioner
of commerce and labor. This official is
authorized to inspect mills and factories
at any time and to revoke the age GER
tifcate of any child he deems too young
to be working.
The bill was vigorously fought in the
house, but all efforts to weaken the act
by amendment failed. 1t will come up
in the senate probably during the pres
ent week.

Bacon County Created.

The general assembly authorized the
third new county this session on July
81, when the senate passed the bill to
create Bacon county by vote of SO to
a. The house passed the bill l40 to H.
so Bacon received more nearly unani-
nous action than any new county propo-
sition before the general assembly in
many years.
Bacon, named for the late Senator A,
O. Bacon, will take the greater part of
its territory out of Appling, with Alma
as the county seat, and small areas from
Pierce and Ware 1t win have 1924
square miles of territory, about 1880
population, and taxable property of
$2,5O0,G00.
New counties authorized this session
to date are Barrow, Gambler and Bacon.
All three will be voted on by the people
in October This will give Georgia Isl
counties, more than any other state, ex-
cept Texas.
