STRONG ADDRESSES
Memory of Toombs and Hill
Recalled by Speakers.
War History.
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 tho measure
was long and Impassioned and the
house seemed almost equally divided.
The proposition to pay the debt con-
traded by Governor Brown in 1861 was the North had forced the South to re-

In the course of his 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 ov^er-capltallzatlon 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
roads cost him between $3,000,000 and
$4,000,000. Then he has built the lino
from Atlanta to Birmingham. This and
other improvements, Unking the roads
together, has cost him about $8,000,00.
His sytem has cost about $12,000,000.
"Now, he goes to Boston and when
he returns the railroad Is being capi
talized at $54,000,000.
"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 tho bonds.
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, argued eloquent
ly against tin* payment, urging that
finally defeated by a close vote.
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 BUI.
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 rtflea
purchased at the beginning of the war
between the states and used by Georgia
troops. The sum involved Is $24,200.
The bonds are now held by the estate
of George Mattingly, of Washington,
D. C. .
The house was resolved into a com
mittee of the whole, with Mr. Steed, of
Carroll, in the chair. The majority re
port favored the payment of the bonds
and was sfgned by Chairman Wright,
of Richmond, and Representatives A. J.
McMullIn, 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, argusd for the
bill.
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
Calmed a twenty-minute period of de
bate under ths rules. This was opposed
by the opponents of the bill.
BUI Fought Herd.
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 18il from the
Sharps Rifle Company, of Connecticut,
ivere purchased for the purpose of re
bellion, with a view to the secession,
s’hlch followed shortly, or merely to
irm the. Georgia militia against do
mestic disorder similar to the John
Brown raid, which had taken place
ihortly before.
Mr. Covington delivered an address
n opposition to paying the bonds,
vhlch had great effect. He drew a
Jlcture of the period when the bonds
vere Issued by Governor Brown under
he advice of Robert Toombs and Ben-
air.ln Hill. He showed how the South
rss arming herself for a great conflict,
hat war was in the sir. There was no

Hall Favor. Payment
Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, favored the
payment of the debt. He read a letter
written by Toomba 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
npproplratlon nnd 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 houae and referred
only to outsiders under the term Of
lobbyist. .
The bill wns adopted by a vota of
88 to 68.
An Afternoon Session.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that an
afternoon session be held at 1110
o’clock.
The motion was passed.
Speaker Slaton reminded the mem
bers that unless a quorum were pres
ent at 1:10 o’clock the speaker waa re
quired to cauae the arrest of a sum
clent number of members, to make a
quorum.
A bill providing for a number of spe
cial appropriations to pay deficiencies

Atlanta, the railroad distributing
point of the South, Is destined to also
become the electric road center. Before
the explyatlon of two years, If the plans
now afoot are carried out, ther will be
four Inter-urban electric line*, a*tdu
from those now entering this city, car
rying passengers and freight to Georgia
cities and to cites In the Carollnas
from this point.
The Atlanta, Macon and Grlflln line
will be granted* its franchise at the
next seslson of council; tho Atlanta
nnd 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
also In contemplation. One of theso will
extend from Atlanta 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 companle* are at present In the
embryo. However, the authority from
which the facts were gnthered stated
thnt within tho next fortnight or so ap
plication* would be made for charters
and that before the winter months sot
in It wns expected that work would
commence on the grading.
Railroad engineer* have made re
connolssance of all theso line* and the
actual work of running a preliminary
survey Is being carried on by several
of the companies.
An Excellent Thing.
City Attorney James L. My/eon
stated Tuesday thnt the* lines would be
nn excellent thing for the city as well
as for the outlying country.
"These llneH will do much to solve
tho freight rate question,’^ said Attor
ney Mayson. "Although I'm not author
ity on this subject from my observa
tion there ore many Industries In Geor
gia being greatly Injured annually by
car famines and by the high rates ex
isting where thero Is no competition."
Attorney Mayson also spoke of the
passenger traffic and the general con
venience to tho people who live around
Atlanta as well os those In other and
smaller cities.
Another phnse of the benefits to bo
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 will doubtless levy its
own tax on the gross receipts of the
company coming from the specific hab
itation. The express and freight car
ried nnd the amounts realised by tho
company from the same will also bring
In money to swell the tills of the local
governments.
In tho case of the line between At
lanta and Macon, which will operate In
this city under the name of the Geor
gia Btcmity Company, a tax of 3 per
cent of the gross receipt* from local
sources for the first five years and 6
per cent for the remaining 25 years of
the contract has been named as the
proper amount to charge.

Stringent Laws.
The comfort of pnasengers and the
general appearance of th© rolling stock
will be governed not only by the com
panies, but also by the cities through
which the lines pass. As Is the case
with the Atlanta-Macon line, these law
will bo exceedingly stringent.
Th© portion of the Georgia Security
Company's charter touching upon this
n ;id*4 ;is follows:
"All cars, wires, electric construction
nnd equipment shall be of tho most
approved and modern style and so
maintained during the term of this
grant, and shall liken I*** In* provided
with nil necessary and approved snfety
devices for tho preservation of life and
property.
"Cam for the transportation of ex
press or freight, ns herein granted,

sengers shall be constructed after the
most modftn and approved m«Hnid and
type, nnd so maintained during the
trim of this grant, having guards «n

At all times Atlanta will reserve thp
right to dictate tin* poll* v and work

,TJie marble anil grnnlte Industry of
Georgia la being Injured lo an Irre
parable extent by the car famine which
haa lasted all thla year. Aa Llthonla,
where there are twelve or more granite
companies, aotne of them employing
hundreda of men, matters have reached
a deplorable crisis.
Over two hundred and fifty men have
linn thrown out of employment and
from time to time the companies have
found It Impo.Blble to continue work
because of not being able to get granite
lo Its destination.
President H. T. Doby, of the Brant
ley Granite Compnny, stated, when
railed up over the long-distance ’phone
Tuesday, that ha waa afraid to go
Into the market and bid for contracts
because of the lack of care.
"During the whole year our work haa
been held up because of the car famine
and when we can get earn they are
often not the right sort,” staled Presi
dent Doby. ’’Host of our granite la In
the shape to ship on fiat cars, but In
many Instances w, have had to use
box cars. We have Just placed ait or
der for eight box cars In which to ship
broken aton* to Virginia because It la
Impossible to get coal cars. This makes
the expense of loading double.
“The great Injury, however, nnd of
what we are most afraid la that en
gineers throughout the country, finding
they cannot get our granite for build
