The Mattingly bond bill, which has been brought before legislature after legislature for many years, was defeat ed again Tuesday morning In the low er house. The debate on the measure was long and Impassioned and the house seemed almost equally divided. The prnpoaltlon to pay the debt con- J . .

Cost About $12,000,000 and Issues Stock for $!>4,000,000. In the course of his speech at the Hoke Smith rally at the Bijou Theater Monday night, Sam P. Jones, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, referred to the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway and made the charge of over-capitalization of nearly 400 per cent. He said: "My distinguished fellow townsman, whom I like and admire personally, has gone to work and has bought up many little railroads In Georgia and has welded them Into a system. - These roaas cost him between $3,000,000 aqd $4,000,000. Then he has built the lino from Atlanta to Birmingham. This and other Improvements, linking the roads together, has coat him about IS,000,00. His sytem has cost about $12,000,000. "Now, he goes to Boston and when he returns the railroad Is being capi talized at $64,000,000. "The people of Georgia will have 1 to pay In freight >ates a fair rate of In terest on that total capitalization,, which Is Just about five time* what It really should bq. ‘•That’s where the rub comes In deal ing with freight rates.” , ,< doubt that the arms were purchased for the purpose of rebellion and that the payment of this money was pro hibited by the constitution. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, appealed to the house not to cast a reflection upon the names of Toombs and Hill and Brown, who had after the. wgr urged the payment of the bonds. Mr. Felder, of Bibb, argued eloquent ly against the payment, urging that to riM-o-Ufy the statutes of the stats, ex plaining that no new rode;Usd been pre pared 1n eleven years, amt snrh a code was needed. The bill provides flir. the appoint* nient of a eouiinfaslouer .'to serve for two years at B.000 s year. Mr. Hall, of Itlbb, opposed the men.lire on the ground that It wouldg not 1k» the ln-st method of cor- reeling tho present conditions. Hill, of tinnier Mrs i gnl to pay the pension of The discussion of this bill occupied almost the entire time of. the session. Several small local bills were consid ered Just before the closing hour. The house adjourned to meet again at 3:30 o'clock. Speaker Slaton called the house to order at 9 o’clock. Mattingly Bond Bill, The Mattingly bond bill was taken up as the first order of business. This bill provides for the redemption of bonds Issued for a debt contracted by former Governor Brown for rifles purchased at the beginning of the wgr between the states and used by Georgia troops. ■ The sum Involved Is $24,200. The bonds are now held by the estate of - Oeorge Mattingly, of Washington, D. C. The house was resolved Into a com mittee of the whole, with Mr. Bteed, of Carroll, In the chair. The majority re- port favored the payment of the bonds and was signed by Chairman Wright, of Richmond, and Representatives A. J, McMullln, F. M. Longley. J. T. Hill, A. A. Lawrence, Joseph H. Hall and L. W. Branch. Minority reports were submitted by Mr. Perry, of Hall, and Mr. Covington, of Colquitt. Mr. Wright, of Richmond, spoke In favor of the bill. Mr. Knight, of Berrien, argued against It. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, argued for the blit. Mr. Perry, of Hall, opposed the bill, Mr. Persons, of Talbot, favored the measure. ' Mr. Covington, of- Colquitt, argued that the debt existed, but held that the law was plain that no debt In curred In aid of rebellion should be paid, and this would prevent the legal payment of these bonds by the state. The committee of the whole reported the bill to the house with the recom mendation that It do not pass. lengthy parliamentary skirmishing followed. The friends of the measure claimed a twenty-minute period of de bate under the rule*. Thla was opposed by the opponents of the bill. Bill Fought Hard. The bill was fought -over at every point. Chairman Wright, of Rich mond, submitted the favorable com mittee report and argued earnestly In favor of paying an honest debt of the state. The point of Issue between the speakers turned on whether these rifles, purchased in 1331 from tbs Sharps Rifle Company, of Connecticut, were purchased for the purpose of re bellion, with a view- to the aeceaslon. which followed shortly, or merely ’ to arm the Oeorgla militia agaimjl do mestic disorder similar to the John Brown raid, which had taken place shortly before. Mr. Covington delivered an address In opposition to paying the bonds, which had great effect. He drew a picture of the period when the bonds were issued by Governor Brown under tile advice of Robert Toombs and Ben jamin Hill. He showed how the South was arming herself for a great conflict, that war wai In the air. There was no NOTICE!

Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, favored the payment of the debt. He read a letter written by Toombs to the agent of the Sharps Company stating that the debt should be paid. During the roll call nearly every member took advantage of the oppor tunity to explain his vote In a thre- mlnute address, which In some cases became an Impassioned argument. Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, opposed the appropfrallon and dwelt upop. the lob byists who had worked In Its Interest. Mr. Wright rose to a point of per sonal privilege and Mr. .Whitley ex plained that he meant no reflection on any member of the house and referred only to outsiders under the term of lobbyist. The bill was adopted by a vote Of 88 to 66. An Afternoon Sosilon. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that an afternoon session be held at 3:30 o'clock. The motion was passed. Speaker Slaton reminded the mertt- bers that unless a quorum were pres ent at 3:30 o'clock the speaker was re quired to-cause the arrest of a sum clent number of members to make a quorum. A bill providing for a number of spe clal appropriations to pay deflclencles In the regular appropriations for 1906 and 1907 was taken up. The commit tee of the whole returned the bill to the speaker and asked leave to set *A bill was Introduced by Mesr*.

Before the expiration of two years. If the plans now afoot are carried out, ther will be four Inter-urban electric linen, aside from those now entering this city, car rying passengers and freight to Georgia cities and to cites In the Carollnaa from this point. The Atlanta, AJafon and Grlfltn' line will be grahted Its' franchise at the next seslson of council; the Atlanta and Carolina railway has applied for Its charter and Intends traversing the route between Conyers, West Point and Franklin. . On good authority It was learned Tuesday there were two other lines a Iso In contemplation. One of these will extend from Atlnnln to Augusta and will later be carried on to Charleston, 8, C. The other will traverse the dis tance from this city to Columbus, Ga. The companies nre at present In the embryo. However, the authority from which the facts were gathered stated that within the next fortnight or so ap plications would be inndo for charters and that before the winter months set In It was expected that work would commence on the grading. Railroad engineers have made re connolssance of all these lines and 111# actual work of running a preliminary nurvey Is being carried on by several of the companies. An Exosllent Thing. City Attorney Jntines L. M/.’son staled Tuesdny that the lines would be nn excellent thing for the city as well the outlying country, se lines will do much to solve the freight rale question," said Attor ney Mnyson. ‘‘Although I'm Hot author ity on thls iubject from my observa tion there are many Industrie* In Geor gia being greatly Injured annually by car famines nnd by the high rates ex isting where there Is no competition. Attorney Maysnn also spoke of the passenger traffic and the general con venience to the people who live uround Atlanta as well as those In other and smaller cities. Another phase of the benefit* to bo reaped from the electric line* are the taxes and tariffs which will generally upbuild the municipalities, counties and atate. Aelde from the regular taxes, each township will doubtless levy lu own tax on the gross receipts of the company coming from the specific hab itation. The express and freight car ried and the amounts realised by the company from the same will also bring In money tn swell the till* of the local governments. , In th* case of the line between At lanta and Macon, which, will operate In this city under the name of the Geor gia Security Company, a lax of 2 per cent of the gross receipts from local sources for the first five years and 6 per cent for the remaining 2( years of the contract has been named as the proper amount to charge. • . The companies will also be made In keep the streets, or a portion thereof, on which they run In a state of repair. Stringent Laws. The comfort of passengers and the general appenrnnee of the rolling etock will be governed not only by the com panies, but also by the cities through whlrh the lines pass. As Is the, rase with the Atlontn-Mncan line, these Ian wilt be exceedingly stringent. Tic i'i 11■ .11 of lh* Georgia Security Company's ehnrter touching upon this reads as follows: •All cars, wires, electric construction and equipment shall be of the most approved and modern style and eo maintained during the term of this grant, and shall likewise he provided with all necessary and approved safely devices for the preservation of life and property. "Cars for the transportation of ex press or freight, ns herein granted, shall he built after the style nnd pat tern, of passenger coaches, and iwm tdc same ns far os possible and present the same nrnt and attractive appear a nee. "Cars for the transportation of pas sengers shall be constructed sfler the most modern nnd npproved method and ly|te, nnd so maintained during th- term of this gram, having guards o fenders pn same and sufllrlently heat ed during cold weather."
