A, Cincinnati, a is — It takes about $1,400 a day to run the Georgia legislature, Including per diem, mileage, the $70 per day al lowed the clerk of the house and $60 allowed the secretary of the senate. Senators and legislators receive $4 pet day, which, with the $$7 members In tho two branches, totals up $109. Then tho chaplains, doorkeepers, messan gers, porters and pages run the figure up considerably. The mileage makes the total about $1,400 a day. If Itthlu water Is furnished throughout the slon. and the thirst of the lawmakers continues as strong as for the past several days, the water bill for the ses slon will be between $600 and $900. If there had been no dies non the 1907 session of the general assembly would be half completed on next Sun day. However, the three days In which the senate had little grist to grind and the house was In the same fix the three days lost will be counted non-legtsla. tlve days. Warrant Clerk C. M.

Senator Camp was called to preside over the deliberations of the senate for a short while Monday. It waa line sail ing for a while, but presently he ran upon shoals. Local senate bills came up for a third reading. One of Senator Camp's was reached. The orthodox formula In put ting tho question Is; “All favorable to the passage of this bill will rise and stand until counted." Senator Camp was so absorbed In his measure that he forget the formula. He said; "All favoring this bill will signify It by saying aye—no, I mean rise—stand "body"" Then another measure of his came up, everyb along. Senator Camp wanted to say something about It. So he ran up dis tress signals for relief. President Akin was not In sight. President Pro Tern. Steed Ignored the frantic signs of the presiding officer, It looked bad for any possible relief for the senator from the Thirty-first. He had the senate on his hands and could not turn It lose. Then President Akin hove In sight, and Senator Camp yielded up the gavel with a sigh of re lief. Some one approached a member of the senate a tew day* ago and queried: "Senator Blank, I am getting up some Information about the senate. Won’t you pleas* tell me your profession f "Why, I am a Baptist," was the sol emn reply On* routine event In the dally work ings of the senate has com* to be awaited with great eagerness by the body.

Savannah, Oa., July 1$.—A Ore whloh broke out In the steamship Allegheny, Captain Freeman, Merchants and Miners’ Transportation. Company, bound for Philadelphia from Savan- nah, last night destroyed the vessel, two miles off Tybee. The thirty-two passengers aboard and the vessel’s crew were saved, but the ship, her cargo and all baggage on board are a total loss. The first cry of fire sent several ex citable passengers to the rails, and the members of the crew prevented a num- bar from Jumping overboard In a mad desire to leave the burning vessel. In boats sent out from Fort Screven, man ned by soldiers, every person was brought ashore. Fire was discovered amldshlp within two hours after the steamer left her dock, the engineers, boiler men and firemen being driven from their work by a blast of smoke. In this crippled condition the Allegheny began to drift, her course lying toward the beach. Captain Freeman and the other offi cers were the last to leave the Alle gheny, and seemed to be coming from a sheet of flame. All of the passen gers were brought back to Savannah on a government dredge, leaving the hull or the steamer still burning. The Allegheny was built at Cramps ship yards. Philadelphia, In 1891.

In addition to whnt Is stated In this preamble and bill, I wish to add only a few words. This section of Georgia has never had the advan tages that other sections of the state have hail In the way of experimental farm und agricultural schools. “The farmers, as a rule, are pursuing the same old methods practiced twenty- five years ago, and they are very much In need of practical demonstration In the more modern methods of agricul ture. We have, sir, a great and grow ing section of Georgia and when de veloped I verily believe It will become the garden spot of the state. "In my opinion, sir, the wlrogrnsa section of Georgia will produce not only a great variety, but a greater quantity, per acre than can be produced In any other section of our state. I wish to state that It will be very gratifying and greatly appreciated by the whole of the people of aoutheast Georgia to have this senate vote unanimously to pass this MU." The vote for It was unanimous. "Whsr* Is Mr. Covington?" Inquired _ certain gentlemen of Mr. Martin, of EIbcrL In the lobby of the Kimball House Thursday morning. An expression of blank amasement spread over the countenance of the gentleman from Elbert os he turned end faced his Inquisitor. •There are two men In the house of representatives that you needn’t ever ask me about,” said he. "One of them Covington and the other Is Wright, of Floyd. They are like the Irishman's lien: you know they are about, but you can't put your finger on them, ■ "I think, however," added Mr. Mar tin, "that they have both gone to Clarkdsvllle. There Is tome epeaklng to be dono there today, and wherever that Is going on you will be sure to fliul Covington end Wright." The gentleman from Elbert waa right.
