LAW MAKERS BACK
HOME REPAIRING
ELECTION FENCES

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 14.-Now that the
smoke of battle in the legislature has
cleared away the members are back at
home, arousing the welkin with
speeches in their campaign for reel
ection or waking the echoes in praise
of favorite candidates before next
weeks primary. The next five days
promise to bring forth more eloQuence
in the red old hills and the wiregrass
than Georgia has known in nearly a
decade.
Many of the officials and attaches Of
the house and senate took home with
them some substantial testimonial OF
the admiration they had won. Speaker
Burwell received a loving cup, Presi-
dent Anderson silver pitcher and six
goblets. Clerk John T. Boifeiullet got
gold signet ring and Devereux Nc
Clatchey, the house reading clerk, re-
ceived a set of silver spoons. Bismarck
Moore. the house journal clerk, got d
silver tray and Messenger D. T. Paulka
silver headed cane.
Mrs. Louise Marsh, the senate ste
nographer, was given gold wrist
watch in the presence of the assembl-
ed senate.
After its fifty days of wrangling the
legislature passed very few really i'm
portant general measures. The list,
when it is boiled down to facts, fol-
lows:
The vital statistics bill, a measure
providing for quadrennial election of
state and county officials, a bill max
ing it misdemeanor to overdraw
bank account, bill to change the time
of state and county official elections,
a bill extending the terms of legisla- |
tors until their successors qualify, and |
a bill changing the garnishment law
Four new counties were created, the |
public health bill passed, legislative |
reference bureau established, insur-
ance companies protected against mall
icious receivership proceedings, and |
necessary appropriations made.
The prohibition legislation was de-
feated the effort to repeal the tax eq-
utilization law failed, the. effort to ex-
empt college endowments from taxa
ZION failed, the McCrory school book !
bill was defeated.
Probably the best bill passed in the !
session, according to business men was
that providing against the malicious or
trivial receivership proceedings against |
life insurance companies. This bill |
provides that any person who has a
grievance against an insurance COM
pany must first lay his case before a
commission composed of the governor
the attorney general and the insurance
commissioner, who shall issue a certif-
icate that the case has good founda-
ton, if so it finds. In case the COM
mission finds the suit unfounded the
complainant still may institute court
proceedings if he so desire, but in that
case the commission would issue
certificate in favor of the company
which would be evidence in the courts.
So many insurance companies have
been harassed by disgruntled stock
holders or other persons who filed suit
for a receiver, even though the suits
were lost, that it had become neces-
sary to take some step to protect the
companies against the unfavorable no
toriety attendant upon such suits.

MADE HIS FUNERAL A PARTY
Bartender, a Suicide, Pays for Feast
for the Mourners Around
His Ashes.

William s. Casey, a bartender wide.
ly known in the California cattle coun-
try, had a funeral which he paid for
himself. Casey died by his own hand.
His health shattered, he told bis
friends that he did not want to live
II he could not be happy. He had
$1,000 in a bank at Salinas, and ar.
ranged that the sum be used for his
funeral.
MY passing out Is not a signal for
sorrow" Casey had said. Il want the
friends that attend my funeral to
enjoy themselves jxst as If I were
among them In reality. as | Will be in
spirit"
A special "a brought Casey's body
from Salinas to- San Francisco, where
1t was cremated. With the ashes In
an urn. a score Of Casey's friends, fol.
lowing directions left by tho decedent,
proceeded to a hotel whose proprietor
was an old friend Of Casey's.
Before the party sat down to dinner
the urn was taken into the barroom
and placed behind the bar. Then
every m ordered his favorite drink,
and this toast was drunk:
ITO Casey. who is still behind the
bar"
The party, carrying out Casey's In
structions. then sat down to dinner,
and later went to a theater. Casey's
ashes were taken back to Salinas and
sprinkled on the Salinas river.--San
Francisco Examiner.
