PROHIBITION BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Continued on Page Six
take long. Everybody appeared anx
ioue to get down to business. Accord
Ing to tho program agreed upon,
amendments to the blit, substitutes for
It and amendments to the substitutes
were on the clerk's desk.
The reading of these amendments
consumed but little time, and when the
time for the debate opened there Was a
hush of expectancy,
It waa Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, who
opened the battle of oratory. For
twenty and one-half minutes he spoke,
and everybody in the house listened,
He reviewed the amendments and sub
stltuteB which had been offered and hla
words showed that In trying to change
or alter the measure decided upon after
careful deliberation by the majority, the
minority was rushing against a stone
wall.
Adams, of Chatham, led the attack
against this stone wall, In a speech ot
seventeen minutes. It was forceful. It
was eloquent. But with all Its force
and eloquence, it lacked convincing
power, and when It was finished not a
rent was there In the stone wall.
Other speakers followed on both
•Idea, but It waa easy to see that while
they were enjoyed by many members,
they were not changing any vote*. A*
one member of the house explained
while be rested In an ante room at full
length upon a couch, every member
had his mind made up one way or an
other and all the argument and oratory
In seven states would not change It.
Speaker Slaton, with that grace and
falrneea which has marked hie career
aa presiding officer of the lower house,
added to his laurels by the manner In
which h* officiated during the day. A
pleasant smile greeted the name of each
speaker announced, and It waa always
with an expression of regret that he
brought down his gavel In the midst of
an eloquent burst when the speaker’s
time had expired.
The last speaker during the morning
session was Payton, of Worth, for the
prohibitionists, and his five minutes ex.
ptred one minute after 1 o'clock.
Excellent progress had been made
and both antis and prohls were Jubilant
tn the belief that the end would come
early In tbe evening. The morning de
bate 1u4 commenced at 10:12 o'clock,
with Wright, of Floyd, and when Mr.
Payton concluded, eighteen speakers
had given their views.
With the opening ot tbe afternoon
seaston, at 2 o'clock, tbe crowds In the
corridors Increased, but the vigil of the
doorkeepers had not lessened In the
least and entrance to tho chamber was
as difficult os In the morning.
Toward evening recruits In large
numbers were added to the watting
multitude In the corridors so that when
the voting etarted, at 4:30 o'clock, there
was an Immense throng.
More amendments and substitute!
were submitted at the opening of the
afternoon session, and It was a half
hour after the opening of the session
before the debate was continued. It
was agreed that each side take an hour
and the time for the voting wae finally
fixed.
Speaker after speaker told hla views.
Occasionally one member would enliven
the monotony of the proceedings by an
especially vigorous tallu which would
rook* the members sit up and take no
tice. Sheffield, of Decatur, waa one of
these. . w
Many a glance was thrown at the
clock and one and all began to long for
the time when the day’s labor woukl be
finished. Finally Dunbar, of Richmond,
be who calmly sad coolly led tbe fa
mous filibuster, concluded for the antis.
Covington Clorao Debate.
Then, In a short speech of twelve
ndnutee that had more cold facts, con
vincing argument, clever Illustrations
and bunts of eloquencq Injected Into It
than any for several hours. Covington,
of Colquitt, one of the bill's authors,
concluded the debate.
The time for that giant wave to en
gulf all before it had arrived. The
moment when that Irresistible stone
wall would withstand all attacks had
come.
The vote on the amendments aa sub
mitted by the committee wae put. and
each of these wa* carried with a roar.
Ayes and pays were called for, but
the result was the same. At first the
antis mustered all their strength. Later,
on viva voce vote, the sound of the
antis wa* lost In the ruer made by the
prohls.
Stragglers In the ante rooms opposed
to the bill admitted that ail waa lost.
Not one was there with any hope of
even postponing the bill going Into cf-

feet. None there was who hoped for
any amendment that would remove the
sting of the whisky interests.
Except for two amendments by
Wright, of Floyd, and Wise, of Fay
ette. which made the bill even stronger,
It was not molested. There was no
weakening and graaptng at opportu
nities to side-step. And none wanted
to.
The vote on the Barrow amendment,
to postpone making tbe bill effective
until January 1, 1908.-find making, the
state license $1,000 In the meantime,
waa the first lest vote as to the prohi
bition strength.
This vote of 128 to 48 filtered through
the doors Into the corridors and wae
eagerly received by tbe waiting throng.
A mighty shout went up.
As the time approached for the vote
on the original bill, as amended, Speak
er Slaton urged upon the members of
the house that there be no demonstra
tion, no master what the result. He
called attention to the crowd In the
corridors and asked tbe lawmakers to
show by their silence that they could
obey the laws they made. Mr. Cov
ington, of Colquitt, urged, the members
In a similar fashion In his speech.
The final roll call on the bill—the call
that was to make Tuesday's session of
the lower 'house one that would be
marked from any other In many yeara
—commenced at 8:45 o’clock. Each
member was allowed three minutes to
explain his vote. Some took advantage
of this. Many others did not.
Rogers, of McIntosh, the only colored
member of the body, had asked about
this several times. He wanted to ex
plain, and he wanted to go on record.
His was the first speech that came
from him during the consideration of
the bill. All was attention a* ho de
clared that he would rather resign and
retire for the balance trf his life than
cast his vote against a measure which
he thought would not only benefit hla
race, but tne entire state.
Eagerly were the votes counted as
recorded. Reporters anxiously counted
those voting In favor of the bill until
the majority of 12 was reached.
