I WILL GO TO AN ASYLUM, BUT NETTIE MUST GO, TOO; SA YS PRETTY LOUISE ONTRE SENATE ADJOURNS One of Two Girls To Be Examined For Lunacy. I am not crazy. I era perfectly sane and will prove It I dimply love Nettle Day better than anyone on earth and if they separate us we will both kill ourselves. This declaration was made in the po. lice station by pretty 15-year-old Louise Ontre, whose strange Infatua tion for Nettle Day caused the two telephone girls to form a suicide pact and go to the river Sunday morning to carry It out. The girl had previously been informed that arrangements were being made to place her In the Insane asylum and this provoked her vigorous denial that she Is Insane. Dr. J. L. Campbell, the family phy sician, and Mayor Sims, of Hapevltle, a friend of the Ontre family, held a conference Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock and prepared lunacy papers for the girl. A writ will be sworn out be fore the ordinary and the trial held as soon as possible. The Ontre girl declares she will fight this move and will show to the Jury that she Is sane. “1 am sane, but It they Insist on sending me to the asylum anyway. I am willing to go, on one condition,” said Miss Ontre tc a Georgian reporter. 'If I go, Nettle must go too. If I am crazy, she Is crazy. But neither of uz lrtrasy. We love ench other and don't want to be separated. 1 can not stand to be parted from Nettle. It Is cruel of them to think of zuch a thing. If they separate us we will both kill ourselves. That Is all there Is to It.” . As soon es thejunacy writ Is taken out. Miss Ontre will be transferred from the police station to the Tower to await a hearing. The girl still refrains from eating the prison food and seems to want nothing but eandv. She has eaten nothing for the past two days but candy furnished her by newspaper men. It lz stated that a brother of Miss Ontre Is at present an Inmate of the Insane asylum. BAIL THETTIBONE Moyer Did Not Want . to Leave Partner In Jail. Boise.

NOT ACTED UPON At a meeting of the senate temper ance committee Tuesday Morning ac tion on the Camp substitute sntl-clga- rette bill wss postponed Indefinitely. This strengthens the Idea that there will be no legislation along this line at this session. „ _ Favorable recommendation for Sen ator Dobbs' bill to the relief of peach and fruit growers, came from the spe cial judiciary committee. It was read the second time and will 1 up for passage this week Without reaching a vote on.the dis franchisement bill, the senate adjourned at 1:20 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A motion to adjourn at 1 o'clock was defeated. A second motion twenty minutes later carried without a dis senting voice." It Is expected that debate will end Wednesday and a vote will be reached. It will take two-thirds of the Vntlre senate, or thirty votes, to pass the bill. Up to Monday night, when a long con ference was held among the friends of the measure, It was believed that the bill would lack votes enough to pass It. Doubt as to the outcome still exists with many, but the friends of the ad ministration say It will go through all right. Congressman T. W. Hardwick watched the fight with interest Tues day, and frequently consulted with ad vocates of the Williams bill. When the WIIIlsms-Felder disfran chisement bill came up os the special order on Tueeday morning. Senator Hawes offered a substitute to the whole measure. It elmply odds two para graphs to article two of the constitu tion of the state. v It provides that thoss who have not paid all taxes for a period of three years can not vote unless the right Is restored by a county tribunal to be established. This tribunal can not, however, re move disability unless the person up*, prating has lived In the county and* state twelve months prior to filling the application, that he has not been con victed of any crime Involving moral turpitude or crime punishable by Im prisonment, unless a pardon has been granted, has had a fixed place of abode In the county for twelve months, or has regular employment during the twelve months, has property sufficient for support or earns enough to do so The second paragraph requires these county tribunals to meet once a. year and no more, and such meetings can not be held within six months of any general stats br Federal election. The general assembly must provide a law providing for appeal front the Judg ment of the tribunal. Several Amendments. Several amendments were offered to the original bill. Senator Dobbs of fered an amendment to the section giving the qualifications nwessary the franchise, simply strengthening and making It more certain that no white voter would be disfranchised under th* act. Senators Hardman and Taylor both offered amendments to strike the para. >-raoh which requires the reading of a paragraph of the constitution and wrlt- tho paragraph placing the time limit of January 1, 1210, on the section glv- Inr ns qualifications good character and those who understand the duties and obligations of citizenship. Senator Felder explained and defend ed his bill under a running fire of questions from Senator Hawes. Senator Hawes followed In advoca cy of his own amendment to the en tire bill. He read his remarks, nnd proceeded. Senator Knight asked: “I would like to ask the senator If he did not submit this matter to—’’ 'I object," said Senator Felder, hur riedly. "It Is a matter entirely per sonal." "Let him ask It, let him ask It," said Senator Hawes, his face flaming In sudden anger. Point Is Sustained. "The point of order Is sustained,” declared the president. It wss a tense moment in ths session, and senators sat watching the event with keen In terest. This closed the Incident, how ever, aod Senator Hawes continued his remarks. The venerable Senator CrUtenden spoke feelingly against the Wiliams bill. Hhe received the closest atten tlon throughout his remarks. Senator Felts advocated the hill briefly, then moved the previous ques, tlon. Senator Flynt moved adjourn ment, but It was lost by a vote of 22 to 17. Tho motion for the previous quei tlon bill was withdrawn, and Dr. Taj lor resumed the argument for {be bill.

Pierce Says Whis ky Has No Place In i Medicine- whisky has no place In medicine,' says Dr. G. Y. Pierce, formerly at derman of Atlanta, and who Is ardently In favor qf state prohibition. He has given to The Georgian the following statement ‘Prohibition Is ths great question of th* century. Compared to It, all other questions pale Into utter Insignificance. Its adaption Invariably produces har mony-and happiness, peace and pros perity. 'As alderman of the city of Atlanta, I favored prohibition, but In deference to the wishes of others whose displeas ure I did not desire to Incur, and be cause of the existence of both state and municipal law recognising It, no ogl tatlon was had. Whisky has no place In medicine, there being numerous sub. atltutea well known to the profession Infinitely superior to It.

"The Southeastern Tariff Association Is not considering any advanco In fire Insurance rates because of any Atlan ta pump.

BACK HOME AGAIN, BOY TELLS OF RESCUE THE GEORGIAN STANDS FOR WHAT MEN AND WOMEN WANT IN EMPIRE STATE— To the Editor of The Georgian: When Rev. Charles M. Sheldon took charge of'The Topeka (Kan.) Daily Capi tal for one week in March, 1900, to show “how Christ would publish a newspa per," quite a little ripple was set in motion, upon whose wavelets religious and moral interests was borne some little distance out in the nation. He stated that the paper would advocate prohibition from Maine to California, and quoted Governor Stanley assaying: “I believe prohibition at its worst is better than high license at its best." I was in college at the time this “Sheldon edition” was published, and, of course my ideals were set high and'I was reaching for everything that would con tribute to their maintenance; and in the newspaper line, I thought I had found the only example I would ever find. But The Georgian beats it. It lives up naturally, every day, to my ideal of a good newspaper, much better than the studiously conducted Capital on an experi ment of one week’s duration. It has fought for what men and women in the state of Georgia longed to see, if but to see it and depart in peace. To it we owe the realization of ‘our civic hopes for moral cleanliness. Victory is virtually ours, thanks to its leadership and its fearless stand for civic righteousness, clean homes and manly men. Ithank you, Georgian, for what you have been, for what you are, and I thank you in advance for what you must continue to be—the ideal newspaper to meet the ideals of Christian youths our broad land over. I am, Sincerely yours, O. T. MONCRIEF, Special to Tho Georgian. Au&ata, Ga., July 30,—No more weird story has ever been heard In Augusta than the.account of John Mo- ragne Fleming, the 11-yoar-old son of Frank Fleming, gives of his experience In the mouth of Broad river, nvr Fort Royal, S.
