Georgia Colonels Scarce.
From tha Atlanta Journal.
Georgia colonels will be as scarce as
hen teeth after th military bill re
cently passed by th legislature goes
into effect on October 1. Under its pro
visions the present and future governors
of the stat will find It Impossible to
gratify the ambitions of many would-be
colonels.
The abuse In the past of this appoint
ive power in respect to colonels is be
lieved to account for the rigid reauire-
ment fixed by the legislature. iShere
former governors had innumerable col
onels on their military, staffs future
commanders-in-chief of the state militia
will be limited to 30, and the prerequi
sites to appointment are such that few
will fill the full quota if they confine
their appointments to xnenas.
