LEGISLATURE AT LAST COMPLETES ITS WORK SENATE GIVES IN ON LOCKER TAX AND GOES HOME Session Continues Until 3:30 O’clock Sunday Morning. ROOSEVELT'S POLICV SAYS MV. GLENN Centralization of Power at Washington Feared in the South. New York, Aug. in.—Governor Glenn, North Carolina’s “fighting executive,” who Is here attending the hearing of the Southern Railway injunction suit, said, at the Hoffman House, that he be lieved the railroad rate war was In fair way of being settled In a manner that was satisfactory to the people of his state. The governor let It be known In unmistakable terms that he was for legislation that would cut down rail road rates to even a lower figure than the 2 1-4-cent rate which led to the clash of authorities between the fed eral and state courts. "We are not afraid," said he, "of our Industrial development being Interfered with and we will protect capital Just as much as we tvtfr have. The railroad Interests In this Instance did not stand for a square deni. They refused to recognize our courts where we gave them every opportunity In the world to have adjudicated all the points in volved and to go from our courts to the United States supreme court. “I believe that the proper remedy for Filch a situation and one that would permit the possibility of a clash be tween the federal and state courts would be to have congress pass a law providing that disputes within a state shall be passed upon first by the highest courts In that state before taken to the federal courts. Only once did the North Carolina situation be come serious. Had Judge Pritchard gotten our prisoner away from us and adjudged Judge Long In contempt, I certainly would have backed Judge Long up with soldiers and every deputy sheriff In North Carolina. Of course, had President Roosevelt sent troops Into our state, then we would have had to throw up our hands, as one state could not fight the Union. But we should have appealed to the voters of the country, and I think they would have been with us." Governor Glenn said that people In North Carolina had not begun to get very excited over the next presidential election. "We ,\f)ll give 70,000 plurality to the Democratic candidate over President Roosevelt, If need he," he said. Presi dent Roosevelt, he said, Is not as strong as he was, because of his centralizing policy, which Is not popular In the South. • After a smelling grind, continuing to 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning, the senate yielded to the Inevitable and ac cepted the conference compromise of $600 for club lockers, and adjourned sine die. The end came only after dogged, pefsistent opposition from both sides. Three conference committees were necessary. In the first two, senate and house conferees were as granite In their positions. The senate stood by the $10,000 tax. the house for $300. It seemed fruitless to attempt further efforts at compromise. Senators Knight. Overstreet, Wilkes and Hud son refused to yield an Inch. Black burn, Barrow, Hines and Donalaon. from the house, were equally Immov able In their positions. But a third committee conference caught the two bodies worn and hag gard from the long duel of cross-pur poses. The w'hole Issue was fought out and the compromise of $500 was flnallv reached. In the senate It still found adamantine opposition. Knight, Over- street, Taylor, Wilkes fought again. On the vote to accept the compromise, It won by the narrow margin of 17 to 14. Tha Commission Bill, That final session of the senate was crammed with Incident. It saw a formidable majority agalnat Increasing the membership of the railroad com mission bill to live crumble away, and Inch by inch the vote pulled to the other side. When the bill passed the senate originally that body voted against Increasing the membership to five by • a vote of something like 25 to 17. When the bill came back to the sen ate Saturday night, with many amend ments, an attorney for the commission and the five members, it was evident that a fight was ahead. The amend ment to placercottoq compresses under the railroad commission met with op position, but It was Ineffectual. The attorney proviso likewise met some op position, but It remained In the bill. Then came the vote on the Increased membership. It lost by a vote of 23 to 20. There was a hurrying to and fro, and presently Senator Overstreet moved to reconsider. Instantly, Sena tor Flynt was on his feet, his eyes blazing and his voice vibrant with passion. Flynt’s Arraignment. 'Gentlemen, we are the wltneeees here tonight of the most amazing spec tacle ever seen In this capitol. We have had tt flung In our teeth time and time again that corporate Interests are filling this capitol with lobbyists. Yet we have tonight the spectacle of the governor of a great state influencing members to vote against the dictates or their consciences. In the name of God. are you no longer men to act upon your own consciences and Judgment? "You have had here a bill to clear this capitol of lobbying. I went to put you on notice that at the nest ses sion I shall Introduce a resolution to Include In this category governors, con gressmen and state house officials. Be fore I would allow myself to be whip ped Into line by a governor or any other human being. I would be man enough to yield up my seat In this body." Senator Felder sprang to his feet In Impassioned reply: “If the gentleman alms his darts at me. I am willing to confess that I have talked with the governor many times on this matter. I did vote agalnat the Increase before, but If It will aid this administration to secure reforms need ed, It Is puerile In me to Interpose my own views to defeat a great purpose. I have no apologtea to make the senator from the Twenty-alxth, or any one else, for my position now or at any other time.” Senators Hayes and Taylor made heated speeches on the change of front of senate members. 8enatnr Tay lor declared that If he had favored the Issue before, that under the conditions existing he would now oppose It. President Breeke Tie. Then came the vote on reconsidera tion. Senator Brock now voted with those favoring live members. The vote stood 21 to 21. President Akin said there was nothing Inconsistent In hie voting for the five members, as he had HOUSE STANDS PAT ON ITS MEASURES AND IIS POINT Hard for Two Branches to • I , Reach Agreement at End. JUST TWO MORE DAYS IN WHICH TO BUY THE SOUTH ERN’S $40 SCHOLARSHIPS Tuesday, August 20, the Last Day of the Special Scholar ship Rate. After spending fifty days In see-saw ing with the senate In the effort to get together on all Important reform meas ures, and after dallying with time until the sands in the hour glags ran low and the end of the session hove In sight with important measures still unpassed, the lower house of the general assem bly put on the high-speed gear Sat urday night and from 8 o’clock In the evening until the pale tint of dawn waa almost discernible at 3:80 o’clock Sun day morning, enacted more Important legislation than has ever been crowded into one session in the history of the state. During the first half of the session which has Just gone Into history, the house was absorbed with the consider ation of that measure which was deem ed by many to be of more general and vital Interest to the state than all other proposed reforms In Georgia—the pro hibition bill. For almost thirty days the house rested on Its oars, and with the exception of the introduction and passage of local measures and the half hearted consideration of a few general bills of secondary Importance, the leg islative craft stood stationary and not a sail flapped In the breeze*untll that measure was passed which swept whis ky across the border. When Delays Began. With the prohibition bill disposed of the house temporarily appeared to have thought its work of reform had been completed and trouble arose in agree ing with the upper house and disagree ing with Itself on other reform meas ures, until It appeared that an extra session would be Inevitable If bills llko the railroad commission bill, the dis franchisement bill, the anti-pass bill, etc., would be enacted Into law before the next session of the general assem bly in 1908. "We will stand pat on our work," came from the lower house, and from the chamber on the other side of the capitol came back like an echo: "So will we." But the hitch, as It finally proved, was only fleeting. The house In the first place did not want an extra session, and In the sec ond place It was Just as anxious to en act reform measures Into law us any body In the state, the only trouble, be-* Ing a division of opinion ns to how It should be done and the best way to d U. Busy at Last. Thus It happened that when there was no longer time for argument and the expression of Individual views on questions upon which the people h aV o spoken, the house moved as a great ma chine with but one purpose In view and tills were enacted into law with greater dispatch than was ever seen before. Upon two bills which were hard fought In the house and which for time met with stormy opposition, the lower branch of the general assembly, having taken Its position, stood pat and refused to recede even at the behest ol the senate. These bills were the Candler-Over- stret railroad commission bill and the Felder-Williams disfranchisement bill. The senate placed the number of rail, road commissioners at three, but after hard fight the house Increased tho number to five and kept It there until the senate was forced to agree to it Saturday night. The bill enlarges the power of the railroad commission so that It has the same authority over street railroads, gas and electric companies, docks, wharfs, terminal companies, telephono and telegraph companies, cotton com presses and sleeping car companies, It now exercises ever railroads. The bill allows any corporation over which the commission exercises its au thority fo take an appeal, but provides that during the pendency of the appeal the rulings of the commission shall be effective. It also provides that tho governor shall appoint an attorney for HIGH'S HIGH'S HIGH'S HIGH'S Furniture Bargain i •c—T Furniture buyers, look at this proposition!

Go. tor Albany, Ga.) advocated It on the floor when the bill was first up. His vote broke the tie, and the administration had won. Remarkable to say. the Issue that tied up the two bodies on the appropri ation bill, carrying $4,770,000, was the question of whether or not $3,500 would be given the state board of health to manufacture diphtheria anti toxin. After the senate had Increased the public school fund from $1,850,000 to $2,000,000 for 1908, and from $2,000,- 000 to $2,250,000 for 1309, Rnd raised the appropriations of several of the stats Institutions, It was expected that a hitch would come there. But the house accepted all of these, and stuck on a $3,600 appropriation. A conference committee was named, and the senate won Its contention. Narcotic Drug Bill. During the Anal session, the senate received notice that the house had passed the Steed bill restricting the sale of narcotic drugs. This bill pre vents the sale or giving away of co caine, alpha or beta eucalne, opium, heroin, chloral hydrate or any of their compounds, save on a physician’s pre scription. The senate also received notice that the house refused to recede from Its position on wiping out the time limit of the good character clause In the dis franchisement bill. Senator Felder re luctantly yielded, and the senate con curred. During that final long session the sennte found digression In pusstng the bill prohibiting tlshlng In Georgia on Sunday. By a curious coincidence, It was passed' Sunday morning, shortly after 1 o'clock. Senator Overstreet made an effort to get up the resolution for Investigating the ownership of the Central railroad, but he was defeated. A large number of local house ond senate bills were passed while the sen ate was watting for reports from the conference committees. At 3:30 o'clock sn agreement was reached on the locker tax. and after singing "G'"l Be With You ’Til We Meet Augaln." Pres ident Akin declared the body ad journed, and the members went wearily to bed. the commission at a salary of $2,500 per sear. Dlefranchisement Bill, When the disfranchisement bill was sent to tho senate the senate sent It hack Saturday night with an amend ment to the "good character" clause. he house Immediately voted down tho amendment nnd after a conference the senate agreed to the action of the house nnd the bill went through as originally proposed. The bill provides that any male per son may vote who can read and write correctly a paragraph In the constitu tion when read to him; that he may be allowed to vote it he Is the lawful de scendant of any veteran of any of the country’* wars; that he may vote If he owns forty acres of land or has $500; AN OLD ADAGE SAYS—^ ••A light purse Is a heavy curse” Sickness makes a light purse.

Give tone to the system and solid flesh to the body. Take No Substitute. that he may vote If he la a person of Rood moral character and understands the duties of citizenship^ Tho house Saturday night refused to concur In the senate amendment to the general tax act placing a tax of U0,q00 on all social clubs keeping Intoxicants In lockers for the use of their mem bers, nnd only receded from Its position when, after three conferences, an agreement was reached whereby the tax was placed at 1500. The house also passed the bill Intro duced In the senate by Senator Steed and In the house by Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, which prohibits the sale of narcotics except upon the prescription of reputable physicians. For National Guard. The bill by Mr. Smith, of Campbell, providing for the reorganization of the national guard of Georgia so ns to con form to the Dick bill, was passed by the house Saturday night with the few minor amendments offered by the sen ate. » After a prolonged discussion the house tabled the bill by Senator Far mer conferring the right of eminent do main uj*on water power development companies. The general appropriation bill hung fire for a short time in the house Sat urday night when that body refused to concur In an amendment offered by the senate which appropriated $3,500 to the state board of health for the manu facture of diphtheria anti-toxin. A conference was held by commit tees from the house and senate and the amendment was finally agreed to and the bill was approved as amended. The house also passed the bill by Senator Hardman providing for the reatlon of a board of examiners for trained nurses. With the disposition of these Impor tant measures the house had finished insofar as It could go with the help of the senate and the session was brought to a close at 3:30 o'clock Sunday morn.
