CONSTITUTIONAL DELEGATES

In the election last Saturday for delegates to the constitu- tional sconvention, this county was carried by Hon. T. C. Nc Rae and Hon. J. L. Carter for the district delegates and Hon. w. V. Tompkins for the county delegate. These are all good strong men and will no doubt help to make a good constitution.
 The essential apparatus of baseball is simple and jnexpen. sive. All that is required is a field, a stick. the ball itself and police protection for the umpire. One advantage of the game as played professionally is that those sitting in the grand stand can play the game a great deal bet ter than the eighteen men on the diamond. It is also true that anyone perched on telegraph pole across the street or looking through a knothole in the fence beyond right field, can judge of the pitchers skill or the runners fleetness much more intelligently than the arhiter who stands be- hind the batter.

"KING EGG" AT PRESENT
HAS HIGH STANDARD

The day of standardization in the
egg market is here. When eggs sold
for cent apiece, the claim IAN egg
is an egg" was accepted. With our
present increased prices, the con-
sumner naturally is asking for great
er quality and higher standardization
in the products he buys.
A number of our best markets are
now demanding that eggs shall weigh
at least "a ounces per dozen. TIL

uniform in size, shape and color of

When rigid standards are we'll es-

All bills have been crowded through
as fast as possible this week. Only
today and tomorrow are left for the
consideration of House bills by the
House in this session.
All the bills am on have come out
referred, and have been reported into
the Rules Committee. The Rules
Committee has put all but one Of Them
on the calendar, and this one failed
through lack of time. The House has
passed two of these bills, and an in
hopes it may have time to take up
some more before we close.
Probably the most important bill
this week was that providing a budget
system and creating a budget and eff
ficiency commissioner. This commits
sioner is to be appointed by the Gov
ernor for five years at salary of
$4,000 a year. The bill provides that
each department, except the General
Assembly and Judicial departments,
must submit estimates to the Cover
nor for the needs of that department,
for the ensuing biennium The Gov
ernor, with the help of the Budget
commissioner, will consider these re-
ports. They may call public r.. rings
on the question, and must han6 the
estimates of the proposed expendi-
lures to the General Assembly, by
the 20 tn of each session.
Another important bill was that con-
