EXTRA SESSION IS
SLATED To DIE On
THE JOB THIS WEEK

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 22.--The pres
ent week probably will witness the ad-
journment of the general assembly of
Georgia unless unexpected develop
ments arise in one of the branches.
BY reason Of alleged imperfections in
the Western and Atlantic bill as a re-
suit of conflicting clauses caused by
amendments, the house may find it
necessary to reconsider the measure,
The house is to consider four special
appropriations and the senate amend
ment to the game revision bill. The
Bale local option bill will come up for
consideration, although it undoubtedly
will be defeated.
The Garland-Jones automobile Ii
cense bill is to go before the house
tits week with an amendment which
provides that sufficient revenue shall
be derived through the issuance of
licenses to motorists to permit the pur-
chase of books for the free use of the
public school children.
No business will be transacted on
Thursday, Thanksgiving day, and it
appears certain that adjournment will
not be possible before Saturday. Four
special appropriations, probably will
spend Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
in the senate and the Jones bill hard
will reach the senate before Wednes-
day. 1t can not be passed before Sat.

MALONE WAS BORN
UNDER 4 Dad STAR

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 22.-Ed F. Ma
lone of Atlanta, says he hasn't any
luck. About six weeks ago, while driv-
ing his automobile, he broke his arm
in saving the life of man who had
jumped off running street car, and
who nearly fell under the auto. In the
meantime the arm knitted and was
practically all right again. On Satur-
day night, returning home from the
Capital City club with Mrs. Malone,
another automobile ran into the Ma
lone car, scratched and bruised Mrs.
Malone, though not seriously-and
brooks Ed Malone's arm exactly in the
same place where it was broken be-
fore.
This time, however, the doctors
think it will not be a very serious mat
ter, as only the smaller bone in the
arm was broken.

|MAY De MONUMENT
To A NOTED NEGRO

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 22.-What will
probably become a nationwide move
to the late Booker T. Washington has
been started in Atlanta by q voluntary
tribute paid to the famous negro ed
Gator by w. T. Gentry, president of the
Southern Bell.
Il am personally willing to be one
of 100 men to subscribe $100 for this
purpose" Mr.. Gentry stated in com
munication to the papers yesterday,
and it is believed that his example will
be followed by many, both South and
North.
Booker T. Washington was born IL
Franklin county, Va" says Mr.. Gentry
ION a plantation a few miles from
where / was raised, and / naturally
kept up with his career. l had known
him well for thirty years or more, and
he always commanded my highest re-
spect and admiration. l believe he was
up to the present time, the ablest man
his race has ever produced, and he did
work of inestimable value to both
races"
