Tribute to Colonel Stevens

Murphey Gambler, chairman the state

the following tribute to the memory of
Colonel stevens:
'.The death of Colonel o. b. Stevens
has brought sincere grief to his former
associates on the railroad commission
of which body he was a member for
six years. and 10 hundreds of personal
and political friends throughout Geor-

". having served with him in the gener-
al assembly and upon the railroad COM
mission. He was one Of the gentIeSt,
most Iovable men 1 ever knew.
There was no honest service within
his power that he did not gladly render
TO a friend; indeed he sought opportu.

as friends and they were legion.
"His kindness of heart was his dis
tinguishing trait. There was no malice
in him. even toward his stoutest polit'
ical opponent
He viewed politics philosophlcallyr
and no one ever heard. a complaint or
word of bitterness from him when re-
suits We're against him.

S. D. HEWLETT WANTS
TO SUCCEED DORSEY

Samuel d. Hewlett, of the law tirm
of Hewlett, Dennis & Whitman, Tues
day morning formally announced for The
Office of solicitor general to succeed
Hugh NJ Dorsey, the incumbent.
The announcement of Mr.. Hewlett &C.
casioned no great surprise in political
circles. as his name has been promi-
rently mentioned in connection with the
office sought for some time and there
was a general belief that he would
eventually throw his hat in the ring.
When told of Mr.. Hewlett's intentions
Solicitor General Dorsey declined to
make any comment, nor would he COM
nit himself one way or the other as to
whether he would be a candidate TO
succeed himself. In court house circles,
however, there has been well defined
rumor that Mr.. Dorsey would not seek
another term as solicitor general. In
declining to discuss the matter he said

years commissioner of agriculture of

wednesday morning at his residence.
sO4 East Linden avenue.
Colonel Stevens had been i'll since
the middle of December of heart trouble.
4 few days ago his condition grew
worse and it was realized that he was
nearing the end. For the last three
davs he was completely paralyzed.
Colonel Stevens was sixty-eight years
OF age and was born in Jefferson coun-
IN. Georgia. He moved TO Terrell coun-
N early in life and engaged in the
warehouse and fertilizer business Ia
1ss4-S5 he represented Terrell county in
the Georgia house of representatives
and later was a member OF the state
senate. In 1898 he was elected COM
missioner of agriculture, in which once
he served eight years. Then ne was
elected a railroad commissioner, and
served in that office eight years. since
1902 his home has been in Atlanta. After
retiring from the railroad commission
two years ago he engaged in the real
estate business here.
Colonel Stevens is survived by
wife and three children. o. b. Stevens,

WAS WIDELY KNOWN.
Colonel Stevens was a member OF the
First Methodist church Of Atlanta and
VAS a member of the Masonic order.
There was probably no better known
man in the state. His long service as
commissioner of agriculture took him
into every county in the state and
placed him in close touch with the
people. He was thoroughly devoted to
the work of the Office, and the fruits Of
his labor for the agricultural interests
OF Georgia are now being realized in
IRE states great advancement and pros
nerity along this line. AS a railroad
commissioner Colonel Stevens was care
fuI painstaking and fair-minded, and
his service to the state in that office
was a worthy sequel to his work in the
agricultural department.
Personally Colonel Stevens was a man
of lovable personality. Quiet, even-tem-
pered. charitable at all times. he added
to these qualities a rich store of in
teresting and practical knowledge and
a rare gift of humo-. From the noun
tains to the sea the people or Georgia
knew him as Uncle ODE" They loved
him in life and they mourn him in
death and pay honor TO his memory

South Carolina House Votes
to Abolish Alternative of
Paying Fine

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 19.-By a
vote of II to IS the lower house of the
South Carolina general assembly passed
last night the Lilies bill, prescribing
changing sentences without the alter
native of a fine for violations of the
prohibition law and other statutes re-
lating to alcoholic intoxicants Half a
dozen amendments, each designed to
mitigate the severity of the measure,
were voted down in succession by over
whelming maierities. Friends of the
bill are confident it will pass the SEN

existence of a considerable majority in
both branches in favor of legislation
to make effective the state wide prohi-
bition act voted by the people at ref
erendum held in September.

SUNSHINE is NECESSARY
TO DEVELOP CHILD LIFE

Washington.-"All things living must
come to their highest state Of develop
ment under the environments of pure air
and wholesome sunlight" said Repre-
sentative Ayres, of Kansas, in a speech
favoring the Keating Owen Child Labor
bill, which was later passed by the
House.
The Kansas lawmaker referred to
speeches on the tariff, the income and
emergency tax, and other discussions,
but" he said, the measure that is now
being considered on the floor of this
House is one of the most important if
not the most vital, question that has
been before Congress for many days.
1t is important and vital because it deals
with the very life and blood of the ma
ton that which is intended to protect
not only the present generation, but to
build up great men and women and per-
pctuate them for al! time.
Mr. Speaker, a nation to be great
can not be peoplcd with weaklings
physically or mentally. There is only
one way to prevent this condition, and
that is to protect and educate the chill
dren OF our nation. We know that nc
child of tender years can work in d
factory, mill. or a workshop without
injury to its health This fact needs nc
scientific investigation to establish it as
a truth. No argument is necessary tc
convince the ordinary mind that a boy
stunted and dwarfed physically in child,
hood and neglected in his mental devcl-
opment, can not be stalwart defender
of this nation; no girl who hos been de
prived of the tender care due her at thi:
critical time of life, when her environ
ments and teachings should be the mos
wholesome, can develop into the charm
ing graces and virtues of beautiful
womanhood and useful motherhood
Deprive this nation of these blessings
you will deprive it OF its very life an
its very existence

Cambridge, Mass. - Several confer
ences with the management of North's

in new wage schedule that affects 2,2O0
employees. The agreement calls for

ness, all are to take turns in laying off
one week at time, instead of large
numbers being discharged in blocks.
Wages are to be increased 10 per cent,
which is an average raise of $1.25
week. This means total increase of
about $143, 900 year. A. +. of l.. Or
