Georgia Senate shelved a proposal to pay solicitors general a fixed salary while considering bills to reduce county school board borrowing, drain swamp lands, and regulate hours in mills. The chamber also debated rail property purchases, constitutional pay-raise limits, and the impact on superior court judges’ salaries amid a partisan atmosphere.
The Georgia House raised arguments over an $85,000 appropriation to Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Milledgeville for a dormitory. Speaker Hall Hurling attacked the measure as waste while Vinson urged approval, noting anticipated state revenue and the need to educate young women. Debates touched on broader appropriations and state finances as lawmakers weighed available funds.
Three companion bills by Representative McMichael seek to place solicitors general on salaries and channel all fees to counties. Subcommittees will review, with reports due next Tuesday. The measures set a 3400 dollar yearly salary plus 240 dollar constitutional stipend, pro rated by county population.
A fragmented, dubious note describes sticky sweating palms, a weary feeling, and a rotten mouth taste. It mentions cathartics and a dubious product CASCA BET as a remedy, with garbled phrases about bodily movement and health outcomes. No clear event or person identified.
The Georgia House debated state appropriations with supporters arguing money is available while opponents said the state cannot fund more. Several named members opposed or supported the bill as committees advanced it. New bills were read, including measures for county bonding, electric light and water at College Park, and hiring rules for minors.
Local debate on publishing abusive language. Mr Lewis of Hancock argues newspapers should not print insults that could breach the peace, proposing misdemeanor penalties and city charter changes. Other bills cover road and county court reforms, city charters, and drink regulation.
The house committee on appropriations reported unfavorably a bill granting $243.80 to WH Kelly, a Black ex convict, for unlawful incarceration. The bill, pushed by Representative Keith, cites a 1900 imprisonment and a dispute over Will Green, who escaped in 1898 and was held five years four months before discharge. State revenue from convict hires totaled $142,480 during the period. Meanwhile Representative Boyd's proposal for $16,000 to fund experimental work at the state experiment station earned a favorable report.
A bill to prohibit employment of messenger boys under 21 for night work was introduced in the Bowl by Mr Alexander of Dekate. The measure aims to keep small boys off the streets at night with Dr A J McKelway, southern secretary of the national child labor committee, assisting in preparation.
