Other Bills Coming Up.
Among the other framed-up legis-
lation will be a general revision of
the present livestock laws of the
state, which will be designed to make
more liberal the possibilities of ship
ping cattle on the hoof; bill legally
creating state market bureau as a
specific branch of the department of
agriculture and providing for it's
maintenance; a bill that will have to
do with the standardization of cot
ton by the state; very probably a
revised form of the state warehouse
bill of the past two or three sessions;
the Torrens land registration bill by
Bartield, of Bib; and the likelihood
of proposition by Hall of Bib to
shave off some of the state depart
ments, according to his declaration
in the somewhat famous Cordele
speech.
For pyrotechnics the item of inter-
est which will likely attract the CEN
ter of attention for a time will be
the resolution by Stewart, of Coffee,
calling for an investigation of the
appointment by Attorney General
Walker of local lawyers in a number
of counties in the state on a 10 per
cent. fee basis to represent him in
inheritance tax collections.
New County Bills Coming.
Then, too, the new county bills
will have their day again. Truetlen,
Atkinson and Cook counties are go
ing to be as vigorously proposed as
they were before and their hackers
believe chances are more in their
favor now than last year, though
Truetlen county got through the
house two or three votes.
Peach county, it is understood, is
dead thing, insofar as Peach is
concerned. The new county will be
composed, but it is the understand
ing that the name will be changed
to Wilson" Simmons county hasn't
been heard of and it appears to be
indefinite whether it will be tried out
again or not.
The cotton standardization act,
which has been hanging fire for sew
eral years, will be revived again this
year, and appears to stand a good
chance of passage.
Interest in Election of Officers.
Preliminary to the real work of
the general assembly, greatest inter-
est will center in the election of the
offers for tn new legislature.
In the house William H. Burwell.
of Hancock, speaker of the last
house, is running for the speaker
ship of this house.
He is being opposed by John Hol-
der, of Jackson county; Nathan Gull
pepper, of Meriwether, and Garland
Jones, of Coweta.
Bismarck Moore, clerk of the house
at the last extra session, and, for
many years prior, journal clerk, is
candidate for the clerkship of the
house, and is opposed by John Knight,
representative in the old house from
Berrien county.
The race for the presidency of
the senate is between Samuel Olive,
of Augusta, and Judge H. w. Hop
kins, of Thomasville.
D. F. McClatchy is candidate for
reelection as secretary of the senate.
