Good Attsndancs. Tuesday Is ordinarily a buay day at the house and generally draws a bet- ter attendance than any other day of the week.

TO WIFE’S AS HIS FAITH STORY DEFENSE "Yes," replied Mr. Hall, "and It Just shown what confusion you are In when you get to adding no muny amendments to one section of the constitution." Mr. Felder opposed the consolidation of the two senate bills, which, he said, Mould mean the defeat of both new counties.

There was a fair attendance when [the house met at , o'clock Monday afternoon. The consideration of the bill by Mr. McMIchael, of Marion, to amend the local school tax act, waa re sumed. This bill, which was passed by sub stitute. corrected the fault In ths tax act of last year, aa pointed out by the supreme court. The original act, while providing that all property tn the school districts should be taxed, pre scribed that It should be assented from returns made to the counties, when, as a matter of fact, railroads, telephone and telegraph companies, make their returns to the comptroller general. The substitute Mil requires that the county tax collector shall get a certified copy of returns from the comptroller gen eral. The subetttute Mil passed by n vote of 107 to ,.

The final step In the bill to create Ben Hill county out of Irwin and Wil cox was taken Tuesday morning, nnd tho Issue now goes before the people. The senate Tuesday morning accepted the houae substitute, which does not differ so materially from Senator Wil cox's original meaaure. Discuss W. 4. A. Least. The senate gave Itself over to ora tory Tuesday morning, practically the entire session being given to discus sion of Senator McHenry’s Western and Atlantic lease bill. Finding that the members were still of a mind to give vocal approval or ob jection to the measure, at 1 o'clock the measure went over until Wednes day morning at 10 o'clock. After a number of amendments had been submitted, most of them having to do with the term of the proposed lease, President W. 8. West took the floor and In a splendid manner advo cated the passage of the bill tn lease the road ror I* years at the expiration of the present lease, thirteen years hence. Senator Hand also advocated the bill, but spoke mainly for hla amend ment tn limit the lease to ,0 years In stead of 00. Senator Miller In a force ful speech outlined his reasons for op posing tho measure. He said that at the expiration of the present lease, with the natural growth of the state, the lease might be made for ,ln«.ooo or a sum even greater than that amount.

Monday It passed the senate by about 27 votes to nothing. Innocent enough on Its face, but burled down In the bill are some provisions that show Mr. Singletary's, astuteness. Only Men Eligible. He Is the only man who can now be come Judge of that court when It I* created! Sounds funny, but It Is a good solid fact nevertheless. Happens this way: Mr. Singletary lire# In that part of Thomas sacrificed for the creation of Grady county. The bill to establish the city court of Cairo la all proper and right, but It le the eligibility clause affecting the new Judge that shows Just how clever Is Mr. Singletary. The bill provides that the Judge must bo about twenty-seven years of age, must have reelded In Grady county or that part of Thomas going Into Grady, for not less than two years, and that the candidate must have practiced law live years. That tits only two men down there. One of them Is Representative J. R. Singletary. The only other man com ing under the provisions Is R. R. Ter rell, of Whlgham, and Mr. Terrell has been nominated to represent. Grady in the next house! Cairo People Wanted It If that Isn't political generalship, kindly point out an Instance. And the people of Cairo wanted It Just that way, too! Monday morning telegrams came to Senator B. S. Bonnot's desk In a ver itable flood.
