At noon Wednesday President Akin, of the senate, presiding over the Joint legion of the general assembly, de clared that by the unanimous vote of the senate and the house the Hon. Au gustus O. Bacon, of the county of Bibb, had been elected to succeed himself United States senator for the term end ing March 4, 1913.

He was escorted to the speaker’s stand by Sen ators Knight ahd Hughes and Repre sentatives Hall, of Bibb; Neel, of Bar tow. and Wise, of Fayette. Senator Bacon was loudly applauded as he arose to speak, and the galleries were crowded with spectators who came to hear him. The address was delivered In his characteristically elo quent and forceful style, and though he only spoke forty-five minutes, the wisdom of the statesman and the thinker was displayed In every word. Tax on Newspapers. During the session of the house Wed nesday Representative Glenn, of Whit field, Introduced a bill placing a fran chise tax on newspapers, thus placing them In practically the same class with railroads. The house met at 10 o’clock Wed nesday morning and was led In prayer by Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Mr. Hall of Bibb offered a resolu tion that the house and senate meet In Joint session at 12 o’clock Wednes day to announce the result of the bal loting In the two houses for United States senator from Georgia, resolution was adopted. The resolution was transmitted the senate and that body returned It with the announcement that it re fined to concur In it. Mr. Hall then Introduced his resolu tion again and it was adopted for the ftcond time by the house. The antl-lobbying bill of Mr. Wright •'f Floyd was read for the third time and put on Its passage. The bill provides that every paid representative of a corporation shall ieglster with the secretary of state, stating the particular legislation In which he Ih Interested and by whom he Is employed. It also provides that every corporation employing a paid representative In the interest of legis lation shall file with the secretary the amount of the fees paid the represen tative. It provides further that no rep- ttsentntlve of a corporation shall speak to u member of tha legislature privately in regard to pending legislation, but that h*» shall appear and present his argument for or against legislation In the presence of committees, If he ap pears at all. Mr. Dunbar of Richmond was op posed t<* the clause of the bill which prevents representatives of corpora tions from speaking to members of the house privately in the Interest of UgLlfttton, and he offered an amend ment .striking out that clause. •Mr. Wright, the author of the bill opposed the adoption of the amend ment and declared that it would de- |*at the very purpose for which the bill was Intended. Mr Hall, of Bibb, spoke In opposi tion to the amendment. At 12 o'clock furthei discussion of the bll! was suspended. In order to glvr- -ay to the Joint session of the general assembly for the purpose of publishing the vote for United States niJh, !?* ', h '•'under storm at mld- w aS, J l ? htn " 1 * 8,ruck 'he new St. Paul Methodist church, at Grunt street and St. Paul avenue, and tore away practically the whole of the rear ena or the handsome stone structure, xne damage win amount to several hundred dollars. The church has not yet been , occu pied. but was about completed. The bolt of lightning tore the heavy stone into fragments and left a great aperture In the rear of the edifice. The damage will cause a delay In the opening of the new church. Much other damage done by the storm was reported'Wednesday morn ing by the police. The roof of the home of Joseph Binder, 215 Crew street, was blown away Tuesday afternoon and the Inte rior of the house exposed to the rain. While a number of workmen were putting a tin roof on th * store of the Georgia Grocery Company, at South Pryor and Garnett ytreets, Tuesday aft ernoon, the whole of the roofing was hurled away by the gale. During the heavy downpour at night, the stock of goods was considerably damaged. At taches of the store were at work at 1 o’clock Wednesday morning trying to save the stock. The storm In the afternoon played a peculiar prank at Speigelberger's store, at Georgia avenue and Gardner street. A shelter In front of the store was blown fully 250 (eet up Georgia avenue. A heavy 2x4 scantling about 10 feet long was hurled entirely across the street, and, striking a telephone pole, snapped the pole in two. The city wagons and teams, standing In Georgia avenue, were blown several feet and landed against the curbing. A chimney, Just around the corner on Gardner street, was blown off of the rear of the house, over the roof, and was set down on the front porch. Tuesday night lightning struck a chimney at the home of Police Officer W. A. Bonnell, 253 Grant street. Light ning also struck a chimney at Capitol avenue and Crumley street. The fall of rain was so great that the sewers In Capitol avenue, between Woodward avenue and Logan street, became clogged and the street • was flooded. The water rose to‘the height of two feet and ran into stores along the street. On Ormond street, near Washington, the chert pavement was washed away for a considerable distance, disappear ing In the nearby sewers. Wednesday the Street Is hare. From the time of the midnight storm until daylight every electric light In the Third war} waa out. Many other lights In the city were also out. Numbers of trees were blown down New Temple Collapses. As a result of the terrific wind and rain storm of Tuesday afternoon,, the new Jewish temple of Congregation Beth Israel, which Is being erected at the corner of Washington and Clarke streets, was wrecked almost beyond recognition. The cornerstone was laid at S o’clock with Impressive, ceremony. All the speeches were eliminated because of the threatening weather, and the sim ple Masonic rites, short and Impressive, constituted the ceremony. All the mem bers of the new congregation were gathered around the handsome edifice, with many visitors and Interested spec, tators. All of the crowd had not dispersed and the strains of music had not yet died away when the storm came up In all Its fury. Some of the people rushed to neighboring homes, but about 50 went to the basement of the church for shelter. They had hardly done so be fore the entire overhead structure crashed and coUapsed, falling through the framework to the ground. No one In the basement was Injured, although several had narrow escapes. The bullying was Injured to the ex tent of several thousand dollars, but it will be Immediately repaired and the work will go on. Nor was this the only damage done. The home of J. L. Pettigrew at 18 Glennwood avenue, which had not quite been completed, was practically de stroyed by the wind storm. Mr. Pet tigrew Is a contractor, and his home Is a one-story frame "structure. The residence of Joseph Binder, at the corner of Crew und Crumley streets, was struck by lightning about 4 o’clock and the chimney and one corner of the building were severed from the dwell ing. Miss Estelle Wachtell, slster-ln- law of Mr. Binder, was prostrated by the shock. Not serious. Mr. Binder Is president of the Binder Frame Manu facturlng Company. One of the chimneys at the home of Samuel Goldstein, at 87 Connally street, was tom off and the brick falling on the roof caused It to give way In sev eral places. The cab shops of the Southern rail way shops, near Pittsburg, were struck by lightning. The fire was extinguished quickly. Many telephones were put out commission and the electric lights for a few minutes In the early part .of the evening were not burning.

In opening his address, Senator Ba- thanked the general assembly for honor which had been conferred u h f »n him. “Whatever may be the attainments of rft n i an * sairt Bacon, ’’these Is r * l,at * r honor than the privilege of •,r iu hl * Btat « In the congress r ,,- n4te d States, and I deeply ap- the trust which you have again “Sk ? me - »r.J, hp 1 *nlted States senate Is the ; „|* Bl b'xiy In the United States and th* . *? n ®tor Is an ambassador to q ' ° unc, l of the nation.” Racon devoted a great por- fcle "I^^h to the high and no- • rfS 1 ,• which devolve upon him as t-nlteu States senator, and which de volve upon the members of the general assembly as representatives of the peo pie of their state. The right of the people to pass laws for their own government Is a priceless one,” declared Senator Bacon, "and it Is time the people were waking up to the fact that forces are at work to take this right away from them. "The tendency of the present time is to enlarge the power and Jurisdiction of the Federal government and dimin ish the power and Jurisdiction of the government of the state. Therefore, I say, members of the legislature, stand firm and see that this priceless privi lege of the state to make Its own laws and govern Itself, Is not taken away. "We should magnify and enlarge the dignity and authority of the state rath er than the Federal government. "There Is no such thing ln the consti tution as a Federal election, but they are all state elections. Even the election of a president Is a state affair. The United States Is composed of Individ ual states whose Jurisdiction and au thority should not be encroached upon." Senator Bacon concluded his address by renewing Ills allegiance to the Inter est of hls state ami his country. House Adjourns.

Genera) Manager Park Woodward has submitted the following letter to the water board, written on June 13, showing that he awaited Instructions from the board before putting on extra pressure: "Atlanta, Gd., June 18. "Hon. Board of Water Commissioners, and Special Committee From Council, City of Atlanta. Gentlemen: At a regular meeting of the board of water commissioners held on May 22, 1907, 1 called their at tention verbally to the condition of the reservoir, and that the water was get ting low, that In a very short time It would become necessary to pump direct from the river through the coagulating basin by uray of the by-pass connection around reservoir, to enable us to get any head on the filters. That condl tlon now confronts us, and I would be glad If you gentlemen would visit the reservoir and see the conditions as ex Ists. J stated to the board At that time, and I now state again, that this condl tlon can be relieved ln but one way. and that Is, by Increasing the pressure on the pumps at the river beyond their guarantee of JJ0 pounds, but that I do not feel authorized to run the risk of doing this without Instructions from the board—this the board declined to give, "By Increasing the pressure on the pumps to 120 pounds, would Increase the delivery of water about 30 per cent Into the reservoir and enable us to possibly fill It in a few months, but us the guarantee on the pump Is only 110 pounds, we would run the risk of rup turing the 30-Inch main delivery pipe or breaking the pumps. "Last summer In an effort to keep the reservoir full, J had the pressure In creased to 120 pounds, which resulted In breaking of the 30-inch main and cracking one of the pump cylinders, consequently I do not feel authorized ln Increasing the pressure again without Instructions to that effect, which would relieve me of any responsibility for re sults. While the Increase In pressure of 120 pounds would not necessarily re sult In breaking pumps or mains, still the liability exists, and If an accident of the kind should happen that would put the main or pumps out of service for any length of time, we would be in a worse condition than ever. % "While lt will become necessary to EXPERIENCED Help wanted in alteration department ready-to- wear.

TO BELAY THE LAW, LIQUOR MEN HOPE Prohibition, but postponed until Junua.*y 1, 1909, Is the best that a ma jority of the big liquor delegations from Macon and other cities now in At lanta hope for. Few of this delegation were opti mistic gf defeating the Hardman-Cov- Ington bill and all agreed that the fight against the measure was com- i tenced too late. Many of the party welcomed the plan of compromise to pass the bill with the amendment that the law go Into effect one jvgir later than provided In the bill. Although there are several well known corporation lawyers in ths crowd, one at least known to be use ful In shaping legislation, the delega tion seemed to be at sea as to what course to pursue and most of them were discouraged. A satchel, guardtd closely by one of the party and transferred to tho keeping of a saloon man In Atlanta, created no little speculation as to Its contents. It Is generally believed that the delegation came well supplied with money and the actions In guarding the catchel led many to believe that it qpn- tr.ln°d something more valuable than * change of clothe?.
