TnCnSDAT, JI'l.T M, IT*. 7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. -GOSSIP OLr STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS ion. _____ __ Wright, of Floyd, had a gnat time with each other Wtdntsday afternoon dur ing the debate on the Jameatown ap propriation bill, it waa all In rood run, however. Mr. Wright waa explaining why he thought the appropriation of 150,000 too much. He said: "Gentlemen, we have already spent >40,000 In collecting an exhibit and It would be absurd to spend >50,000 In giving the boys a good time at James town. I am sorry I only ter pnrt of the splendid oration of the gentleman from Chatham"— Mr. Anderson: "If the gentleman only heard the last half of my oration and Is willing to give >30,000, how much wouldn't he be willing to give If he had heard It allt" Mr. Wright: "Well, possibly so, but seriously, what would we do with so much money? It Is an awful big heap of It. The railroads wouldn't charge us anything to haul the exhibit to Vir ginia, and"— • Mr. Anderson: "Do I understand the gentleman from Floyd to say that he would be In favor of the state asking this favor of the railroads, and would request them to haul this exhibit for nothing?" w Sir. Wright: “Why not? They are hauling this house for nothing." (Laughter and applause from every comer of the house.) Wednesday afternoon when Mr. An derson, of Chatham, began what he said was his first oratorical effort with the words, “Ntar time hundred years ago," Mr. Wilson, of Gwinnett, who waa sitting near by, turned to his col league, Mr. Nix, and Mr. Nowell, " Walton, and said, In a solemn tone: "Twinkle, twinkle, tittle star—I guess »e will have that next." All the pent-up oratory engendered at the house this year broke’out on Wednesday afternoon In the debate on the Jamestown appropriation bill. Mr. Alexander In a speech of twenty minutes for the bill, paid a most glow ing tribute to Virginia, her noble sons, and what all of them had done for Georgia. His speech was well pre pared, full of beautiful figures and clothed In similes that brought forth great applause from the floor to the gallery. Scab Wright said It was all he could do to keep from making a speech on the Jamestown bill. It offered such great opportunities for oratorical at fort. The anti-pass MU keeps bobbing up In some shape or other and It Is quite certain that before long Joe Hall will he able to get It before the bouse for consideration. Members of the house, when speak' Ing for a bill, even If the speaker bo the author, never fall to disclaim credit for the measure, which Is Invariably “one really fathered by the whole house." However, after tha passage of the bill, just watch and see who does, the strutting and gets chesty. It Is ttranga that an opponent of bill always considers the measure "the most dangerous ever proposed In the house.” It might be mentioned that among thoee present every day In the spe< f of the house are the word* “of grave Importance," “the people of this grand old state," and “glittering generalities." These little original expressions arc coined meat every day In the house. Wouldn’t It aggravate you If Just when turning Into the home stretch of your master oration, Just as you pro ceeded to draw up a conclusion that would stir tho hearts of “the peepul," the man right In front of you should sn a newspaper and begin to read? At'* 'What happened on the floor of the houso Wednesday afternoon while a member was making’the speech of his life.

SENATE AND HOUSE ARE AT LOGGERHEADS Each is of Disposition to Hamper Other’ Work By. Ignoring Bills Sent Across. If the houso does not get busy pretty soon and pass some of the senate bills the lower branch may expect a sudden shut down on Its bills in the senate. The temper of the eenate waa shown some time ago when a resolution wai Introduced to aak the house to devote one day of the week to senate meas ures. It developed that a rule provid ing for that waa already tn existence, but that nobody paid the least atten tion to IL The resolution was lost because somo of the more conserva tive senators thought It would anger the sensitive member* In the house, and do more harm than good. But It was pretty clearly Intimated then that tho eenato could, on aulh- clent provocation, have recourse to re taliation, and qulotly alt snug so long ss the houso was oblivious to senate measures. Much of that spirit Is beginning to evidence Itielf now as the general as sembly moves out on the last half of the session. Senator 8teed had a bill which passed the senate early In tho session to compel railroads at small stations to keep depots open at night prior to the departure of trains. He was vary much Interested in the bill because It la an Important matter to 1 people In small towns. But though the bill has been over In the house some weeks nothing has been done with It. The senators are not prone to say much about thl* matter, .but they ahov their feelings now and then. A well known house member came over A day or so ago, and naked one of the promi nent senators why the senate did not pass a bill in which he ,was much in terested. He got the answer about like this: -My boy, we kinder believe In reel procity over here. Tou fellows sit over yonder nnd chew the rag about your bills, spin your little pet projects through a-whooplng. and serenely |g- noro bills we pass and send over (hare for your distinguished consideration. ’’It evidently don’t occur to you fsl low* that tv* folks over here have a constituency to serve and bills we are Interested In thnt we should like to have some aort of allowing. When your aids ot the bouse shows a disposition to get busy with some of our little ot nffnlrs, why I think there’s quit* , raft of house bills up there on the desk that we might do eomsthlng with by extra exertion." And that la about the way the sen ate feels. They will hammer away on senate matters quietly until the houaP shows some signs of loosening up the quarantine against aonato measures.
