His Five-Minutes’ Ad dress a Powerful 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 of Its report CHURCH CONFERENCE URGE8 PASSAGE OF BILL.

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.

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, teo on lmll and rooms meet at mid' 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 basement some hours," 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 dently think Secretary of State Phil Cook Is a good thing.
