FLANDERS CHARGES ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE Demands That Gar nett Quillian Be Put Out of House. SCENE WAS CAUSE OF BIG SENSATION Judge Daly, of Wrightsville, and Several Ministers Among Those He Attacked. With his voice shaking with emotion, his -!*nd*»r frame trembling like a leaf, and his every feature depicting an al most uncontrollable passion, W. J. Flanders, representative from Johnson county, alleging continuous persecution, malicious defamation of character and effort to murder him and making sen- uttlonal charge* against Judge A. V. Diilv. of Wrightsville, Ga„ Rev. J. M. I/ivett, of Savannah, Rev. W. F. Mor gan of Savannah, and Rev. W. F. Qull- flan, of Wrightsville, requested Mon day morning shortly before adjourn ment that "one Garnett Quillian," as the tool of these men, hts persecutors, he requested to leave the house of rep resentatives. No more dramatic Incident than thta of Mr. Flanders charging perjury to some of. the most prominent men In the state has ever been seen on the floor of the house In the memory of the present generation of representatives. Before he had been speaking a minute, the members of the hous saw the ex citement under which the gentleman from Johnson was laboring and quickly did they press around him to hear what he had to say. After rising to a point of personal privilege, Mr. Flanders waived the clause of the state constitution exempt ing members of the house of*represen tatives from prosecution for any crime below a foleny,* and prefaced his re marks with the statement that he was going to say things which would cause trouble and he wanted it understood that he would stand on them in any court in the country, and If he did not substantiate the charges would resign his seat In the' house ind his membership In the Methodist church. Quillian Talking to Seab Wright. Mr. Flanders' -first statement was # that "one Garnett Quillian" leave the 'house of representatives. Mr. Quil lian was seated In the rear of the house talking to Seab Wright. Mr. Flanders continued: "Four years ago, In my own town, an attempt was made to blacken my char acter, and the fact that I was cleared of the charges made against me has added to the frensy of my persecutors, who have their representative In the house today and have Mad him here for almost the past week. "Gentlemen of the house, two well laid plots to murder me on the streets of my home town, Wrightsville, were thwarted through my being Informed by friends of mine of the sinister pur pose of my enemies. I regarded my escaping death at their hands to be solely an act of Providence. Now, I am saying startling things, but 1 am going to use names, and I want It un derstood that I irill stand before any court In this land and substantiate these charges, und if they are not proved true, I will-resign my seat In this house nnd my membership In the Methodist church." By this time It had become noised through the capitol that there was *nmofhlng exciting happening In the house, and many came running In from the halla to learn the cause of the trou- ki** The members pressed close to Mr. Flanders eager to hear whom he would charge and with what. "I Impeach Them at Liars. 1 “Judge A. F. Daly, formerly a judge the state superior court, Is one of these, | have Impeached him In the courts of the state and he stands to day a perjured liar. I have Impeached Rev. E. F. Morgan, pastor or Grace Methodist church In Savannah. That fell-uv Morgan stands today a per- jured liar. I Impeach the character of Rev. w. F. Quillian, a brother of the nun I have asked to have ejected, and the principal of the Nannie Lou War- then institute In Wrightsville. I alse •tflte that a man 70 years old is among th >sp who have tried to brand me as a bad man, and this man Is no other than Rev. J. M. Lovett, presiding elder rtf the gentleman from Chatham, Mr. Stovall. He Is a brother of the editor r 'f The Advocate and a descendant of nno ,,f t he grandest men eve? pro- durod by the Methodist church. These m /n had me dismissed from the M®th- church, and today I stand vindi cated. for I have been reinstated and a member In good standing I make thp/e charges of perjury and will stand ln them, if a negro were tried and convicted for the crimes these men have been guilty of in connection with their attempt to ruin my character he J}# 0 » ** ■•nt to the chalngang for "Gsrnstt Quillian Here." “Ths first of last week I noticed this Oamett Quillian In the house.

He was here the next day, and on the Fourth of July I havi ’ him here again.

W. F. Quillian Is presldeent and Garnett Quillian vice president Following his being* discharged from the ministry and church, Mr. Flanders brought suit for $20,000 against Judge Daly for defamation of character. He lost the decision In the superior court, but his side of the case was sustained by the supreme court, and the case has gone to be tried again by the superior court. In this suit Mr. Flanders defended nls character. It occasioned bitter feeling between the Flanders and Daly factions In Wrightsville. The Introducing of a bill In the house by Mr. Flanders to Incorporate the Nanny Lou Warthen Institute In a public school system infuriated the Daly side of the fight and through an effort, made by representatives . * r 2PV the county * the bill was killed In the committee room. Thb ministers Impeached, the Rev. Messrs. Morgan and Lovett, were Implicated in the trial of Mr. Flanders when his character was questioned.
