GREAT VOTE HUNT
SECURED PASSAGE
OF PENSION BILL
ARE BLOWN
House Just Did Give-
Necessary 117
Votes.
the
The mo*t interesting Incident to the
meeting of the house Monday morning
was the scramble by the friends of the
Qalloway 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
capital was searched, and It lo&ked
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.
Oalloway, 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 blit 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

ure.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, offered an amend
ment to strike out of the amendment
that part providing tor an Increase of
»*oo In the salary- of the Insurance
clerk In the comptroller general's of
fice.
"Jf you do that,” said Mr. Mc-
Mlchael, of Marlon, "you will cut off
the chief clerk, who will not remain
there for 71,200 a year."
Mr. Hall contended that a clerk's
salary should not figure In the consti
tution of the state.
Mr. Revlll, of Meriwether, asked If
It was not true that the comptroller
general was paid more than any other
state house officer.

dier husbands prior to 1870. An amend
ment by Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, to
make the date 1175 was Introduced
Friday afternoon. The bill was taken
up Immediately after the reading of
the journal.
Mr. Nowell, of Walton, the colleague
"f the author of the bill, spoke for the
measure. He was followed by Mr.
I/mgley, of Troup, who urgecj lhe mem
bers to vote for the Oalloway bill.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, asked If It would
not be well to Investigate as to wheth
er there would be funds enough to car
ry out the constitutional amendment
proposed by the Oalloway bill. He
said he did not think there would be
any opposition to the bill, provided
i here was money In the treasury for
•he purpose.
Mr. Lonslsy said he thought the
money was there and that It ought to

moua passage of the bill.

was that one by Mr. Whitley, of Doug- f
las.
Messrs. Smith, of Greene, McMIchael,
of Marlon, 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
seriously embarrassed by appropriat
ing vast amounts without first consult
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 Oalloway bill. Mr. Richardson,
of Houston; Mr. Overston, of Screven. [
anil Mr. Hall, of Bibb, were the only
members voting against the bill.
There was a great scramble for votes
when the roll call was t.iken. It was
found that two votes were hfeded 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,
while the halls and ante rooms were I
searched for representative!, 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 Miiscagee, by proxy, IfUt Mr. Hall,
of Bibb, objected strenuously.
Tht Vots Secured.
Just as the friends of the Galloway

DR, G, B, STRICKLER
IN ATLANTA PULPIT
At the Central Presbyterian church
on Sunday morning Dr. G. B. Strickler,
an ex-paator of the church, delivered
an able and eloquent sermon on the
subject of the divine Inspiration of the
Bible.
Dr. Strickler Is an able preacher and
a deep theologian, but In hla sermon he
made no attempt to go Into the tech
nical details, but treated It from the
qualities of men magnl
sort her of the attributes cared to do.
He called attention to tha fact also
NOT A BUCKET SHOP,
SAYS C. N, ANDERSON
The way the story of the 111
pie uneducated fishermen and laborers,
shows that there must have been a
divine spark to gulc. them, or other
wise they could never have succeeded
In turning out such a masterpiece.
"The Book as regards Jesus could not
hava been a fiction, an Invention, for If
eo II would have been characterised by
Imperfections," said Dr. Strickler.

The Georgian's statement was mere
ly a quotation of Tha Trade Index, of
New Orleans, the official organ of the
New Orleans board of trade, the official
organ ot the New Orleans Wholesale
Grocers’ Association and one of the
leading cotton Journals of the country.
The Trade Index carries each week
a column, headed "bucket shop list,"
giving the names of brokerage houses
throughout the South which are al
leged to have no connection with the
New Orleans or New York cotton ex
changes.
Among that list appears the name of
Louis J. Anderson * Co., of Atlanta.
The heading over the list Is as foi
st udy
subject.
Dr. Strickler called the attention of
hla congregation tq the fact that first
of all the Bible eupplles 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
ancients In that He presents the at-
tributes of a perfect being, whereas the
god* to whom the Greeks end Ro
mans bowed down were simply magnl-
