Mattingly, Bond Bill Defeat
ed in House—Has Been
There Often Before.
STRONG ADDRESSES
Memory of Toombs and Hill
Recalled by Speakers.
War History.
The Mattingly bond bill, which has
been brought before legislature after
legislature fdr 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 proposition to pay the debt con-
“OVER CAPITALIZED,”
SAYS SAM_ D. JONES
Declares A. B. & A. Railroad Cost About
$12,000,000 and issues Stock for
•$54,000,000.
In the course of hie speech at the
Hoke Smith rally at the Bijou Theater
Monday night, Sam D. Jones, president
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
referred to the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railway and made the
charge of over-capitalisation of nearly
400 per cent. He said:
"5fy 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 $8,000,000 and
$4,000,000. Then he hns built the lino
from Atlanta to Birmingham. This nnd
other Improvements, linking the roads
together, has cost him about $8,000,00.
His sytem has cost about 812,000,000.
“Now. he goes to Boston and when
he returns the railroad Is being capi
talised at 854,000.000.
“The people of Georgia will have to
pay In freight rates a fair rate of In
terest on that total capitalization,
which Is just about five times what It
really should be.
••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 war
urged, the payment of the bonds.
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, argued eloquent
ly against the payment, urging that
traded by Governor.Brown In 1861 was the North had forced the South to re
finally defeated by a close vote.
The discussion of this bill occupied
ulmosf the enllre time of the session;
Several small local bills wore consid
ered Just before the closing hour. The
house adjourned to meet again at 8:80
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
S urchased at the beginning of the war
etween the states nnd used by Georgia
troops. The sum Involved Is 824,800.
The bonds are now held by the estate
of George Mattingly, of Washington,
D. C.'" ' '
■ The :house, was resolved Into n com
mittee of the whole, with Mr. Steed, of
Csrroll, In the chair. The majority re
port favored the pnyment 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, epoke In
favor of the-bill.
Mr. Knight, of Berrien, argued
agalnat It.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, argued for the
bill.
Mr. Perry, of Hall, opposed the bill.
Mr. Persons, of Talbot, favored the
measure.
Mr. Covington, of Colquitt, nrgued
that the debt existed, but held that
the law wns plain that no debt In
curred In nld 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 rules. This 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 1811 from the
8harpe Rifle Company, of Connecticut,
were purchased for the purpose of re
bellion, with a view to the secession,
which followed shortly, or merely $o
arm the Georgia militia against do
mestic disorder similar to the John
Rrown 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
the advice of Robert Toombs and Ben
jamin Hill. He showed how the 8outh
was arming herself for a great conflict,
that war was in the air. There was no

Hall Favors Payment.
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 cell 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
approplratlon and dwelt upon 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 68.
An Afternoon 8eislon.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that an
afternoon seaklon be held at 8(80
o'clock.
The motion was passed.
Speaker Slaton reminded the mem
here that unless a quorum were pres

quired to cause the arrest of a suffi

Atlanta, the railroad distributing
point of the South, Is destined to also
become the electric road center..Before
the expiration of two years. If the plans
now afoot are carried out, ther will' be
four Inter-urban electric lines, astOti
from those now entering this city, car
rying passengers and freight to Georgia
cities and to cites In the Carolines
from this point
The Atlanta, Macon and Griffin line
wilt her granted Its franchise at the
next seslson of council; the Atlanta
and Carolina railway has applied for
Its charter and Intends traversing the
routs between Conyers, West Point and
Franklin.
On good authority If was learned
Tuesday there were two other lines
also In contemplation. One of these will
extend from Atlanta to Augusta and
will Inter be carried on to Charleston,
S. C. The other will traverse the dis
tance from this city to Columbus, Ga.
The companies are nt present In the
embryo. However, tho authority from
which the facts,were gnthered stated
that within the next fortnight or so ap
plications would be made for charters
and thnt before the winter months set
In It wns expected thnt woqk would
commence on the grading.
Railroad engineers have mndo
connnlssance of all these lines nnd the
actual work of running a preliminary
survey Is being carried on hy several
of tho companies.
An Excellent Thing.
City Attorney James L. Mpvson
stated Tuesday that tho lines would be
nn excellent thing for the city as well
ns for the outlying country.
"Those lines will do much to solve
the freight rate question." sold Attor
ney Mayson. "Although I'm not author
ity on this subject from my observa
tion there are many Industries In Oeor-
gla being greatly Injured annually by
car famlnen and by the high rotsa ex
isting whore tboro la no competition.
Attorney Mnyaon nlao spoke of the
passenger traffic nnd the general con
venience to tho pcoplo who live nround
Atlanta ns well as those In other nnd
smaller cities. . .
Another phase of the benefits to be
reaped from the electric lines are the
taxes and tariffs which will generally
upbuild the municipalities, counties and
state. Aside from the regular taxes,
each township wilt doubtless levy Its
own tax nn 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
Ih money to swell the tllle of the local
governments.
In the 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 tax of 2 per
rent of the gross receipts from local
sources for the first five years and 8
par cent for the remaining 85 years of
tha contract has been named as the
proper amount to charge.
The companies will also be made to
keep the streets, or a portion thereof,
on which they run In a state of repair.
8tringsnt Laws.
The comfort of passengers and the
general appearance of the rolling stock
will be governed not only by the com
panies, but also by the cities through
which the lines pass. As Is the cose
with the Atlsntn-Maeon Une, these laws
will bo exceedingly stringent.
The portion of the Georgia Security
Company's charter touching upon this
reads aa follows:
"All cars, wires, electric construction
and equipment ahnll bo of the most
approved and modern style and so
maintained during the term of this
grant, and shall likewise be provided
with all necesanry nnd approved safety
devices for the preservation of life and
prnpeity.
"Cara for the transportation of ex
press or freight, ns herein granted,
shall be built after the style nnd pal
tern of passenger conrhes, and rcaem
hlo same as far as posslblo nnd present
tho umg nest and attractive appear
ance.
"Cars for the transportation of pns
sengers shall be construeted nlfer the
most modern and approved method nnd
type, and so maintained during the
term of this grant, having gunrds or
fenders on same and sufficiently heat
ed during cold wenthei."
At nil times Atlanta will reaerve the
rigid l" 'll,dale Die poll' v and work
Ings of tho companies Inosfar as the
municipality hns Jurisdiction.

HUNDREDS OUT OF JOBS
AT LITHONI A QUARRIES
BECAUSE OF CAR FAMINE
The marble and granite Industry of
Georgia Is being Injured to an Irre
parable extent by the car famine which
hex lasted all thle year. Aa Llthonln,
where there.are twelve or more granite
companies, some of them employing
hundreds of men, matters have reached
A deplorable crisis.
Over two hundred and fifty men have
been thrown out of employment and
from time to time the companies have
found It Impossible to continue work
because of not being able to get granite
to Its destination.
President 8. T. Doby, of the Brant
ley Granite Company, stated, when
called up over the long-distance 'phone
Tuesday, that he was afraid to go
Into the market and bid for contracts
because of the lack of cars.
"During the whole year our work has
been held up beeguse of the car famine
and when we can get cars they are
Often not the right sort,” suted Presi
dent Doby. “Most of our granite Is In
the shspe to .shift on fist cars, but In
many Instances we hsve had to use
bog cars. We hsve Just placed an or
der for eight box cars In which to ship
broken stone to Virginia because It Is
Impossible to get cool cars. This makes
the expense of Inn,ling double.
"The great Injury, however, and of
what we are moat afraid Is that en
gineers throughout the counter, finding
thoy cannot get Pur granite for build
ing and curbing as well sx other pur
poses, will place orders for other mate
rial and will become accustomed to
using Inferior substitutes.” ,
President Doby stated that he had
seen local authorities on the subject,
but that they declared Interstate traf
fic was out of their Jurisdiction. Jle
also stated that several suits had been
entered against the Georgia gt(lroad
because of contracts being canceled,
ns of these Is for 32,000.
From other sources it was learned
that the Georgia Granite Company, one
of the largest In the state. Is dally
turning away men because cars can
not be obtained to ship granite.
At Llthonla the following named
companies have been Inconvenienced
to a marked extent by, ths famine:
Brantley Granite Company, Oeorgla
Granite Company, W. P. Vans Compa
ny, Davidson Orsiilte Company, E. O.
Ragan * Co., Southern Granite Com-
B iny. Venable Company at Stone
