WORK OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBL Y
Many Bills Being offered
But Few Brought Up For
Final Passage Yet.

Representative Johnson of Sebas-
tian county is t h e author of a
measure to make the possession of
burglars tools felony.
Considerable debate was had in
the lower house over the bill intro
duced by Representative Letter of
Van Buren county, which makes it
an offense TO fish on the SABBATH.
The bill was successful in the house,
20 members voting in opposition.
Senator White of Pine Bluff has
introduced a bill making prohibition
statewide in Arkansas. The bill
prohibits the manufacture or sale Of
intoxicating liquors anywhere in the
state The fight over this bill it is
believed will be one of the warmest
of the session, and a great many
members of both branches of the
general assembly believe it will
pass both houses safely.
A fine of $40 is placed against
owners Of live stock who fail to
comply with the provisions of a bill
introduced by Representative Bur-
row of Perry county. The bill re-
quires owners to burn the carcaSses
of all stock, where death resulted
from a contagious disease. If an
owner hears that any of his stock
has died the bill requires him to
hunt the dead animal up and burn
| it.
Senator Toler proposes to submit
an amendment to the constitution
providing that all property in the
state shall be assessed at its actual
value, abolishing h e boards of
equalization and providing for the
election Of township assessors.
The amendment provides that the
township assessors shall meet each
year and do the work now done by
equalization boards. Senator Toler
declares that under this amend
ment h e assessed valuation of
property in the state would be great
| ly increased, but that the rate OF
taxation would be correspondingly
less.
Senator Toler also proposes an
amendment to t h e constitution
which would provide four year
terms for all public officers except
justices of the supreme court. The
amendment provides that each Of
ficer shall be subject to recall by a
certain per cent of the qualified
voters who are his constituents, and
also provides that no officer shall
Immediately succeed himself except
circuit and chancellor judges and
the chief and associate justices of
the supreme court, who may run
for a third term Cnly.

On the Leuel
By c. w.

Americas will welcome two new
Methodist ministers this week, and
ccngratulates herself upon the re-
turn of another.
Rev. ]. A. Thomas was returned by
Bishop Kilgo, at the Cordele confer
ence to complete his fourth year as
pastor of the First Methodist church.
He is generally loved by the people
of the city and has made his church
one of the prominent factors in Meth
odism. Attesting this fact is his re-
turn for the full four year limit, which
is somewhat uncommon in the realms
of Methodism.
Two young men were sent to Ameri-
Gus: Rev A. w. Quillian, Jr., will be
the junior pastor to the First Method
ist church until his edifice is erected
Oh Lee street. He was student at
Emory college for several years, and
comes of that old line of Quillians
who have made Methodism famous in
Georgia.
Rev. George NJ. AGREE was grad
uated from Emory college, in the
class of 1914. He succeeds Rev. D.
a. Cook on the Americas circuit, ana
will reside in this city. Rev. AGREES
home is at Camilla, and his family
| has always been prominent in the
church of his choice. 1t is interest
il g to know that both of these young
men were converted in the famous
revival which swept through Emory
college in the spring of 1912 in which
two-thirds of the students Of Emory
Joined the church and renewed their
allegiance to the cause.
Rev. L. C. Gray, whose home is at
Fort Valley, is another young mem
Der of the south Georgia conference,
who decided to preach during the fam
Gus revival.

knowing full we'll that the Idle is

A striking article from the past is
sue is as follows:
ut is due Mr.. w. H. Burwell, speak
er of the house of representatives, to
say, that during the extra session of
the legislature just closed, he was en-
tirely impartial and treated the pro-
Ljbitionists with perfect fairness, and
even more. He went before the Rules
committee and insisted on a program
that would give the prohibition bills
a fair chance to be voted on.
1.-THE Commonwealth takes pleasure
in stating this, because it had, with
many other state papers, vigorously
called attention to certain official acts
of his prior to and after his selection.
LET justice be done, though the
heavens fall. And this much is due

HISTORICAL CORNER.

The University of Georgia is the
oldest of all the state universities
in this republic. Its charter was
sranter by the legislature of Georgia
in 1875. The charter of the Univer-
sity, as drawn by Abram Baldwin
who became it's first president, is a
model. 1t set up a high ideal and
the university has endeavored to
live up to it.
Here is an extract from the char
ter that gives the basic principle
upon which the university rests:
ut should be among the first OBJ
jects of those who wish well to the
national prosperity to encourage and
support the principles of religion
and morality, and early to place the
youth under the forming hand of
society. that, by instruction. they
may be moulded to the love of virtue
and good order"

Another feature was their remarks

ard delegates are expected to attend

The British soldiers who are

ment; there ought to be plenty of
fig bushes and apple trees there. If
friends Adam and Eve went about
as scantily clad as some Of their

and it isn't recorded that they ate

TAKING ONES LIFE.

Sad to contemplate is one who takes
his own life. Various studies have
been made of the motives which
prompt a person to suicide. In ref
erence to this subject, the Savannah
Press had the following editorial:
The Spectator, the magazine which
reflects the beliefs and conclusions of
the life insurance agents, is of the
opinion that suicide is on the increase
III the United States. And as the Spec
tator usually does it proceeds to prove
its assertions by facts. and figures
mostly figures.
The suicide rate is the highest since
1909. The seven cities showing high
est suicide rates are Sana Francisco,
San Diego, Sacramento, Hoboken, st.
Louis, Los Angeles and Orkland.
In San Francisco in 1914. there were
234 suicides, or 52.4 per 100000. San
Diego was next, with % suicides.
In Manhattan and the Bronx there
were 61S suicides, or 2O.2 per 100000
Newton, Mass, showed the lowest
suicide rate. Four residents killed
themselves, 9.5 per 100000. /.
In 100 cities the total number of
suicides was 1882 or 20.3 per 100000
This is an increase of seven-tenths of
one per cent.
The suicide rate in the more dense
ly populated Eastern cities, where the
struggle for existence is more in
tense, has decreased. There was an
increase in Pacific coast, Central and
Southern cities.
Suicides are largely caused by busi-
itSSS uSpTSSSlOuj IOSS OI u0dltn OF lOT-
tune and by affairs of the heart. An
other growing cause for them is found
IN the increasing size of the idle cclass.
Not the poor and dependent idlers, but
young men and women who have moth
iDg to occupy their time and who fail
to appreciate the serious side of life
ard its responsibilities. They have
nothing better to do, so they blow out
their brains or take poison. The busy
man, the man with something to oc-
cupy his time, seldom takes his own
life, unless unexpected and unavoid-
able reverses come that are too great
for him to conquer. The Spectator as
serts the increasing number of sui
C.des is problem to demand the most
earnest consideration of the thinkers
Ct today.

"A. d. 1916"

Along with the many other things
which will make 1916 famous, the
Monroe Advertiser of Forsyth had the
following:
The Americas Times-Recorder
says that when one speaks of A.
D. 1916, they mean "the year of
Anti-Drinking, 1916"
Yes, and 1916 will mark the year
