No EXTRA SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
BOTH BRANCHES ARE WORKING
HARD TO GET THROUGH
FOR ADJOURNN

Atlanta, Aug. 1o.-The senate this
morning passed the general appro-
priations bill after reducing the $4,-
100000 appropriation for common
schools to three million dollars, as
recommended by the appropriations
committee Of the house.
The appropriations for higher edu-
cation, that is the University of Geor-
gia and its branches, were left practi-
cally unchanged, as there had been
no increase by the house over the
recommendation of the hause ap-
priations committee.
. The bill was Immediately sent back
to the house, where it is expected all
changes will be agreed on promptly,
thereby avoiding an extra session
AS a was measure, the senate
passed the house bill providing for
the closing of houses of prostitution
by court injunction. In view of the
belief that the =. measure really
amounted to nothing. the senate re-
considered it's action of yesterday in
agreeing to the house bill to raise
the age of consent from ten to four
teen years.
The house passed the bill giving
representation to Evans county, the
! bill to create Atkinson country from
| portions of Coffee and Clinch with
| Pearson as the county site, and the
bill to create Treutlen county from
parts of Emanuel and Montgomery
with Soperton as the county seat

THE u. S. GOVERNMENT
r RATS COL. R.D. MEADER

Col. R. D. Meader, the we'll known
Brunswick attorney, has been drafted
into service by the United States gov,
ernment.
Col. Meader, little thinking that he
would ever be reached by the draft,
was somewhat surprised when a tel
egram was handed to him yesterday
announcing that he had been drafted.
At first, before he finished reading
all of it, he thought it must be Joke
arranged by some of his friends, but
as he read the long message on
through, he soon realized that it was
the real thing.
He had been drafted, sure enough.
He did not register, he had not been
given any three days to file his ex-
emption papers, he had not under
gone the usual physical examination
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1917-08-16

All of these things mad been waived
by the government and the attorney
had been drafted without minutes
notice.
But Col Meader will not have to
report to any of the army canton
ments, nor to any of the training
camps. The telegram simply an
nounced that he had been drafted to
represent the government in Glynr
county in the matter of exemption
claims and this action is quite COM
pliment to the Brunswick attorney.
He was referred in the telegram to
various sections of the draft law. and
it will be his duty to represent the
government in any cases where an
appeal is made by drafted man for
a decision of the exemption board.

secution against our members" de-
clared the workers.
