Did Not Endorse Proposed Bill In Bibb County Meeting
Macon Ga September 20 Special R A Smith camp of Confederate Veterans declined to endorse a bill from the Atlanta camp redefining employment preferences for veterans in public service. The measure, to be introduced next session, would favor honorably discharged Confederate soldiers in appointments, with penalties for violations. Bibb County expenses for 1904-1905 show totals and tax needs to cover a balance, while stockholders of the Florida Railway Georgia Southern and Company are notified of a meeting to elect directors and discuss asset purchases. The Macon Bar Association met to discuss ethics and rules governing local practice, with a committee appointed. News notes mention Mrs C E Vance and funeral services at First Church.
