legislatures were nil on as a sort of public benefactor, <lb/>
session last year, for term ranging I be most generously treated <lb/>
from days to days, and they I to be in <lb/>
passed a total of new laws, everything that asked. <lb/>
To this total Georgia contributed <lb/>
piece of new legislation. It <lb/>
la estimated the information <lb/>
already at band that there will be <lb/>
enacted during present year no. <lb/>
less than new laws. New of <lb/>

We to under <lb/>
that the things covered <lb/>
by franchises are property of <lb/>

while Ohio and Illinois have added <lb/>
hundreds of acts to their statute <lb/>
Is there any good all ibis law- <lb/>
making Are so new laws <lb/>
needed for the government of the <lb/>
people It Is perfectly safe to say <lb/>
that per cent, of legislation <lb/>
could be dispensed with to the very <lb/>
great advantage of the public. <lb/>
And it may predicted with a <lb/>
good deal of assurance that not one- <lb/>
halt, probably no, one fourth, of <lb/>
the new laws will stand the test of <lb/>
the courts. Many of them were <lb/>
hastily drawn railroaded <lb/>
through assemblies without <lb/>
anything like a careful digestion <lb/>
by persons competent to Judge of <lb/>
their constitutionality. They be- <lb/>
long to class of acts <lb/>

But there is one of persons <lb/>
who pleased with the multitude <lb/>
of new lawyers. It <lb/>
k their function to discover how, <lb/>
by letter or spirit, or both, the <lb/>
new laws are opposed to the count i- <lb/>
and take them Into tbs <lb/>
courts and them killed. Every <lb/>
new law of any makes new <lb/>
litigation, which means more fees <lb/>
for the lawyer, fifteen thousand <lb/>
new laws in two years therefore, <lb/>
presents quite a pleasing prospect <lb/>
to the profession. <lb/>
It should not be lost sight of <lb/>
however, that the lawyers perform <lb/>
S good public service in this <lb/>
new for fat <lb/>
fans. If it ware not f r these pro- <lb/>

Chicago teachers deny that study <lb/>

but that it should be <lb/>
joyous alluring. They <lb/>

it is a of <lb/>

the cries of other animals. The <lb/>

Owing to the extreme scarcity of <lb/>
labor we would advise all farmers <lb/>
to arrange their tobacco rows so <lb/>
every eighth row will be five feet <lb/>
wide, by so doing you can use <lb/>
a tobacco truck thus house <lb/>
your tobacco with much leas labor <lb/>
and cost. There were some trucks <lb/>
used in certain sections last season <lb/>
for housing tobacco, and we Bud in <lb/>
every section where the truck was <lb/>
used there will be a great demand <lb/>
for them this orders <lb/>
for several hundred trucks have <lb/>
already been and many- <lb/>
more will doubtless come in yet. <lb/>
If you will lay your rows as <lb/>
stated above it will take no extra <lb/>
manure but little more laud, <lb/>
and if you do use the truck <lb/>
you tote your tobacco along the <lb/>
wide row much i ft if you <lb/>
are scarce of help you use a <lb/>
truck. We arc going to be head- <lb/>
quarters for tobacco trucks of best <lb/>

day lock during the day. There <lb/>
were four drawers In the safe, <lb/>
parties having keys to <lb/>
of them. Only notes and papers <lb/>
were kept in the drawer, <lb/>
and for convenience the key to <lb/>
this drawer was kept in the lock <lb/>
so any of the firm might have ac- <lb/>
to the papers when wanted. <lb/>
When Mr. returned from <lb/>

that promises have been made of <lb/>
