All Commissioners On Hand For
Hearing, But Only One Psti-

Every members of the board of
county commissioners was on hand
at the office Of Judge u. A. Little
John, of the Sumter Superior court,
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning "sit
in" at the hearing of the petition
for an injunction and writ of resti-
tuition against them filed ten days
ago and set for hearing at that hour,
the case growing out of their pay
ment of $500 to the Georgia Good
Roads association to assist in the
movement for the proposed $75, 5,000,-
900 highway Dond issue. w. W..
Dykes, the county attorney, was also
on hand to handle their case for
them and defend the suit. But j.
A. McCrea, of the 18th district, was
the only one of the petitioners on
hand, and when no others showed up
Zach Childers, one of the attorneys
representing them, asked for con-
tinuance of the hearing and it was
granted, Judge Littlejohn setting
next Saturday at 10 C'ciock for it.
The petitioners who we're absent
were w. E. Mitchell, Q. l. Brady,
w. C. Sullivan and J. d. Williams.
The commissioners present were N.
A. Ray, ]. E. Poole, C. C. Hawkins,
S. f. Statham and r. S. Oliver. They
expressed a desire to learn first hand
Just what those who had brought ac-
ton in the court against them had
to say about it.
1t is generally agreed by lawyers
that the petitioners will be able to
make such a showing that an in
junction will of necessity be grant
ed restraining the ccunty board from
paying out any mere money to the
Georg.a Good Reads association,
whicn would be in line with orders
they have already passed, but there
is much doubt that they can be
compelled at this time to pay back
the money paid out to the associa-
ton. 1t is agreed that there are ways
in which recovery might be possl-
BILE, but even the lawyers for the
petitioners admit that there is little
possibility under the present pro-
ceedings.

GEORGIA HOUSE
SPEEDS DEBATE
Limited To &c Minutes
For Remainder Of Session
The Days Business

ATLANTA, July %. Among the
outstanding features of the Monday
session of the House Of Representa-
tives were the limitation Of speeches
IN the house to twenty minutes each
during the remainder Of this session
and the passing of bill changing the
name of the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial College to. the Georgia State
College for Women.
Indications that every effort will
be made to prevent consideration by
the house of any bill to repeal the tax
equalization law was evidenced when
a resolution was introduced by Repre-
sentative Arnold, of Clay, calling up
on the senate to officially notify .he
house as to whether it had rejected a
bill to repeal the tax equalization act.
As the senate had defeated such bill
under the constitution the house Of
representative cannot propose SIM
liar bill to the senate except by two
birds majority, which is tn contention
of the opponents of the repeal meas
ure, and the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Arnold was intended to furnish
the house official information on the
question. After a lengthy debate
the resolution was finally defeated
by a vote of SO to SO.
The bill to limit individual speeches
in the house was introduced by Rep
resentative Culpepper, of Fayette,
and aroused considerable opposition
but was finally adopted by a large
! majority.
The bill to change the name of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial Col
lege was introduced by Mr.. Ennis,
of Baldwin, and was passed without
a dissenting vote.
By a unanimous rising vote the
house adopted resolution memo
rializing the late Joseph Hill Hail.
former legislator, who died Satur-
| day. For two minutes the house sus-
pended business while the members
sat with bowed heads and the chap
lain offered prayer.
A new bill introduced by the Fulton
! delegation provided that bailiffs II
the Superior court and City courts OF
Fulton county shall be paid IS day
Other new bills introduced in The
| house were:
By Mr.. Williams. of Walton
Providing that the state highway sys-
TEN shall include seven per cent of
the total road mileage of the state to
! conform with the federal highway
statutes.
By Mr.. Knight, of Berrien-To ap-
propriate $4,000 to cover deficit
