One.
•Seaborn Wright's Indexible rule
against applause at the hearing before
the temperance committee was broken
once," said a member of the committee
Wednesday, "but I'd defy any man
there to listen to John Temple Grave*'
closing address and keep from shout
ing."
To Hon. John Temple Graves, editor
of The Georgian, was accorded the
honor of closing the arguments for
prohibition before the temperance com
mittee of the house on Monday after
noon, and though only five minutes was
allotted each speaker, the gavel In the
hands of Chairman Wright remained
poised over the desk toward the climax
of Mr. Graves' forceful summing up of
the arguments against the law and his
answer to each of them. When It fell,
after Mr. Graves had concluded tils ad
dress, there followed a torrent of ap
plauae that shook the galleries and
floor, In deflance of committee rules
and a warning that applause would be
followed by ejectment.
Mr. Graves spoke calmly, quietly,
but with a force that was convincing In
Die very Intensity of Its calmness.
There was a deathly stillness In tho
galleries, add listeners bent over to
catch every word.
Beginning with a rapid review of the
arguments against the law. Mr. Graves
answered each in a way that was con
elusive. „
"To the arguments for local option,
answer that those who say that each
county should settle this for Itself, that
the local option theory might as well be
extended to each ward of a city, each
militia district of a county. To those
who say that tho people have not been
given on opportunity to vote upon this
law, I ask If any member of this as
sembly will stand forth and say that
his county would not vote for a prohibi
tion law. If you say that the law le not
provided for in the platform, I say that
there are hundreds of bills before the
assembly which must be laid on the
shelf under that ruling, and the legis
lature ho* nothing to do but regulate
the railroad commission, disfranchise
the negro and go home."
Mr. Graves concluded his address by
an appeal for peace, a spirit of one
Georgia, one Atlanta, one Columbus—
one republic. Within five minutes he
had summed up the merits of the argu.
ments presented before the committee
In a way that left little to be learned.
"There was mors meat in that five
minutes’ talk than In any address I ever
heard,” said a member of the commit
tee as the body retired for a discussion

LIVING ROLE OF KING LEAR,
MAN WANTS PROPERTY BACK
Hartford, Conn., July 17.—Forced for
nine years to enact the title role In
what was practically a life presentation
of Shakepearo's "King Lear," aged Jer.
emlah Haley will seek relief In the form
of a suit brought for the recovery of
his property In the supreme court.
In March, 1833, Haley was stricken
with Illness. He hastily summoned the
family lawyer and disposed of his prop,
erty. The 830,000 which he had accu
mulated was equally divided between
his wife and his daughter. Haley's
native caution, however, caused him
to have Inserted In the will a clause
to the effect that If he recovered the
property was to be returned to him.
He got well, but when Mrs. Haley
died In 1302 she willed her share of
the property to her daughter. Since
that time. It It said, the aged man
has been ejected from his daughter's
house and has been struck by her on
several occasions.

It takes quite a deal to flustrate
Senator John P. Knight. He Is at all
times a ready debater, and loves the
rough-and-tumble work of a floor
scrap. But he was compelled to take
some undesirable medicine Saturday,
when the prohibition bill came up for
passage.
He was all flushed with victory In
seeing his most formidable opponent,
Senator Felder, beaten off the field.
Then In a magnanimous spirit, Senator
Knight arose and said!
"Mr. President, In accordance with
time-honored custom, I now move that
the chairman of tha temperance com
mittee (Senator Knight) and the au
thor of tha bill be allowed twenty
fcilnutes each to discuss this Important
measure. And, Mr. President, I would
ask unanimous consent to allow the
opponents of the legislation the same
time," and he sank Into his seat, a
magnanimous smile overspreading his
face.
•1 object." said Senator Hayes.
Consternation was Instantly written
on the countenance of tho senator from
the Sixth. He saw a great opportunity
slipping away. Hs had as fine a bunch
of language pent up In him aa he could
mutter—and he le a prime mueterer
along that line. "
"But, Mr. President, I claim the right
to be heard on this bill,” he protested.
"I object," cemo the relentless call
of Btnator Hayes.
The objection was sustained, the bill
patted and SenatJr Knight went sor
rowfully .away weighted with an un
delivered oration.

oommlttee Is to get rooms for senate
committees.
As everybody knows, the capitol
sadly crowded, and by some unknown
process the house has managed to cop
out about all the available and desira
ble rooms. Senator Wilkes Is normally
a quiet man who doesn't worry. But
this Job of finding rooms for senate
committees has him going proper.
After three or four days of harass
lng search and-considering a propotl
tlon to turn the capitol dome into com
mlttee meeting places, assigning
committee to each section of stairs, he
drafted the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the aenato commit,

night In the basement of the capitol to
further prosecute a search for com
mittee rooms, and report back. If able
aftor staying In the aforesaid capitol

But the balance of the committee
frowned on the resolution, and Chair,
man Wilkes is looking for some other
way out of his troubles,
A large number of local citizens evl
