THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
MONDAY, JULY Jfi, \Y£
GREAT VOTE HUNT
SECURED PASSAGE
‘ OF PENSION BILLi
House Just Did Give the
Necessary 117
« Votes.
IThe most interesting incident to the
meeting of the house Monday morning
was the*bc ramble by the friends of the
Galloway bill to secure two votes to
make out the 117 required for the
passage of the constitutional amend-
■' ment. Every nook and corner in the
capltoi was searched, and it looked
hopeless as the members pulled every
representative in the hall while the
regular vote was being taken. Mr.
Owen, of Pike, saved the bill, however,
as he walked In the hall' in the nick of
| time and registered his "aye" vote amid
| great applause.
In a typical Monday session, the
house disposed of some business of
Interest, even though the attendance
was not over 120. The bill by Mr.
Galloway, of Walton, to amend the con
stitution, to provide for the payment
of pensions to widows of Confederate
veterans who married their soldier
husbands prior to 1870 was passed by
exactly the constitutional majority of
117. This bill will go Immediately to
the senate and If passed by this body
by Thursday will be advertised and
submitted to the vote of the people at
the election this fall.
Mr. Williams, of Laurens, introduced
a bill Monday morning to Increase the
terms of the members of the general
assembly from two to four years.
Rules Committee’s Report.
The committee on rules, Mr. Felder,
of Bibb, vice chairman, submitted
report recommending that the senate
bill to create the new county of Ben
Hill from portions of Wilcox and Irwin
counties, with Fitzgerald as the county
seat, be made a special order for Tues
day, July 31, Immediately after the
reading of the Journal. The report was
adopted.
On the consideration of the bill to In
crease the clerical force of the comp
troller general, Messrs. McMIchael, of
Marlon; Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb;
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, and Mr. \Vrlght, of
Richmond, spoke in behalf of the meas
ure.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, offered an amend
ment to strike out of the amendment
that part providing for an Increase of
3600 In the salary of the Insurance
clerk In the comptroller general’s of
fice.
"It you do that," said Mr. Mc
MIchael, of Marlon, "you will cut off
the chief clerk, who will not remain
there for 31,200 a year.”
Mr. Hall contended that a clerk's
salary should not figure In the consti
tution of the state.
Mr. Rcvlll, of Merhvether, asked If
It was not true that .the comptroller
general was paid more than any other
state house officer.
Bill tya* Lost
On the Vote the bill was lost, receiv
ing only 109 votes, while 20 were reg
istered against It, 117 votes being re
quired for the passage.
The house passed a bill by Mr.
Brooks, of Decatur; to amend the cdde
so that it shall read that the writs of
certiorari shall be granted 80 days
from the date of the Judgment sought
to be reversed and that the same shall
be filed within 10 days after the sanc
tioning of the writ. The law now per
mits 90 days for the granting of such
petitions.
By unanimous consent the bill by
Mr. McMIchael, of Marlon, to correct
rertaln errors In the tax act of last
year In parts of the latter relative to
the collection of taxes from corpora
tions by school districts was taken up.
The reading of the bill consumed 28
minutes, and before the reading of the
substitute was well Started the regular
hour of adjournment was reached.
In the absence of Speaker Slaton,
the house was called to order at 10
o’clock by Speaker Pro Tern. Dunbar.
Sympathy to Mr, Alford.
A resolution of sympathy to Mr. Al
ford, of Worth, whose wife died Satur
day, was passed by the house.
The special order .of business for
Monday was the Galloway bill to amend
the constitution to provide for the pay
ment of pensions to widows of Confed
erate soldiers who married their sol
dier husbands prior to 1870. An amend
ment by Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, to
make the date 1875 was Introduced
Friday afternoon. The bill was taken
up Immediately after the reading of
the Journal.
Mr. Nowell, of Walton, the colleague
of the author of the bill, spoke for the
measure. He was followed by Mr.
Longley, of Troup, who urged the mem
bers to vote for the Galloway bill.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, asked If It would
not be well to Investigate as to wheth
er there tftiuld be funds enough to car
ry out the constitutional amendment
proposed by the Galloway bill. He
said he did not think there would be
any opposition to the bill, provided
there was money In the treasury for
the purpose.
Mr. Longley said he thought the
money was there and that It ought to
be left to the people to say whether
this amendment should be added to the

mous passage of the bill.
Amendments Killed.
Mr. Kelley, of Glascock, offered an I
amendment to make the date on the
bill 1880.' This amendment was lost, as [
was that one by Mr. Whitley, of Doug
las.
Messrs. Smith, of Greene, McMIchael, 1
of Marion, and Green, of Cobb, sup
ported the bill In short speeches.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, In explaining his
vote, said the state was going to be I
seriously embarrassed by appropriat
ing vast amounts without first consult- I
Ing the treasurer and determining
whether the money would be available. |
He voted no.
Only 3 Against Bill,
The result of the vote showed 117 In I
favor of the constitutional amendment
on the Galloway bill. Mr. Richardson,
of Houston; Mr. Overston, of Screven,
and Mr. Hall, of Bibb, were the 'only |
members voting against the bill.
There was a great scramble for votes I
when the Coll call was token. It was
found that two votes were needed to
make the necessary 117 votes required
for the passage of a constitutional
amendment. The friends of the bill
ran Into the halls looking for some one
to vote. The vote was called over very
slowly by Reading Clerk McClatchey, I
while the halls and ante roome were
searched for representatives, who had
not voted. One vote was secured In a
few minutes, but It looked as If the
bill would be lost by one vote. An at
tempt was made to vote Mr. Russell,
of Museagee, by proxy, but Mr. Hall,
of Bibb, objected strenuously.
The Vote Secured.
Just as the friend* of the Galloway I
bill had about given up, Mr. Owen, of
Pike, walked down the center aisle
and asked to be recorded as voting aye. |
Great applause was accorded the gen
tleman from Pike,i who had saved the |
Galloway bill.
Mr. Steed, of Carroll, moved that the
bill be transmitted to the senate and It
was carried.
Assistance of Comptroller General.
The special order for the senate bill
to amend the constitution to give the
comptroller general additional allow
ance for a clerical force was taken up
for consideration after the disposal of
the Galloway bill.
Mr. McMIchael, of Marlon, spoke for
the bill, paying a tribute to Comptroller
General Wright.

I DR, G, D, STICKLER
IN ATLANTA PULPIT
At the Central Presbyterian church
on Sunday morning Dr. G. B. Strlckler,
an ex-pastor of the church, delivered
an' able' and eloquent sermon on the
subject of the divine Inspiration of the
Bible. ,
Dr. Strlckler la an able preacher and
a deep theologian, but In his sermon he
made no attempt to go Into the tech
nical details, but treated It from the
viewpoint of the average layman, who
la not ablt to make a Ilf* study of the
| subject.
Dr. Strlckler, called the attention of
hla congregation to the fact that first
of all tha Bible supplies that deep-
rooted need In the nature of mankind
for a divine object to worship, or rath
er for some God higher than man him
self. The God taught of In the Bible
differs essentially from the gods of the
ancient* In that He present* the at
tributes of a perfect being, whereas the
gods to whom tha Greeks and Ho
mans bowed down were simply magni
fied men, having the good and bad
qualities of men magnified a* the de-
scrlber or the attributes cared to do.
He called attention to the fact also
that the Bible contains the most per
fect code of laws that haa ever been
devised. Mortal tna,. haa never suc
ceeded In accomplishing anything that
will In any degree equal It* perfection.
The way the story of the lifa of Jesus
Christ Is told, related as It was by sim
ple dntdurated fishermen and laborers,
shows that there must have been a
divine spark to guldt them, or other
wise they could never have succeeded
In turning out such a masterpiece.
"The Book as regards Jesus could not
have been a fiction, an invention, for ir
so It would have been characterised by
Imperfections,” said Dr. Strlckler,
