O. Blalock got tangled In a quotation while speaking for the Boykin blit Thursday, and after sev eral Ineffectual efforts to get It straight received assistance from Senator Ho gan. who la kindly disposed. "Why, my friends, the proof of the pic la eating the pudding," he said with great emphasis. Rut It didn’t sound right and he made anothef stab. "Proof of the pudding Is In eating It.” Somehow that didn't ring true. By now the senate was watching Sena tor Blalock’a entanglement and some began to offer wagera that he'd never get It just right. “That la I mean the pudding le the proof of the eating.” Then uprose the rotund form of Sen ator' Hogan with the proffer: “Mnybe the senator means ‘that the proof of the pudding le the chewing of the bag.'" Extricated from hl» entanglement, Senator Blalock proceeded with great eloquence to complete hla speech. However, he didn’t try any more quo tations. Evidently* the present senate has no notion of letting Senator .Wheatley live down hie escapade on the Audubon Boclety bill. Somebody drage It In to the limelight at every opportunity. If no opportunity happens along one Is made for the occasion. Senator Murphy Candler, aa kindly a hearted man as ever lived, and one noted for the gentleness of his char- actsr, succumbed to the temptation and "took a fall" out of the member from the Thirteenth. Ha was discussing the Wheatley substitute to the Boykin bill: "Why, you know I am yet afraid that the senator from the Thirteenth will disclaim paternity In this substi tute as he did In a certain other meas ure here on the flodr of the senate. But that other bill waa a bird of para dise as compared with thla last meas ure he has fathered." Senator Candler quoted from the Bible several times In hla speech Thursday on the bucketahop bill. Ev ery time he did so somebody up and asked him a question. Finally he re torted to an Interruption: "Go ahead. Looke like I'm bringing all the Biblical scholars of the senate to the fore, however." 'Senator Candler la responsible for thla one: "In a certain campaign one of the candidates asked a friend what be should make the Issue. After pon dering awhile the friend replied: I tell you, Bill, jump on the Chin ese and give ’em bell. They ain’t a Chink In the county.'" CAPTAIN STORM HEARING HAS BEEN POSTPONED.

Crawf Wheatley has the courage of hla convictions nnd makes n clean, straight from the shoulder fight even when be knowa he le taking the un popular aide of It.

Thursday after tbe senate had given the kibosh to hts spbetltute to the Boy kin bill he sent Up an amendment to the original measure. Senator A. O. Hlnlnrk objected on the ground that no previous notice had been given of It. Immediately Senator Wheatley came hit feet end said: "Mr. President, tbe senator from the Twenty-sixth la correct. The amend ment proposed by me la clearly nut of order, nnd I respectfully withdraw It.” Nothing could have been more grace fully done and more clearly right. But h.«- many men would have nad the co-rare and manhood to do It? It waa hot work Thursday for those who elected apeak on t>- bucketahop bill. Though he le a thl- r. an physi cally, Senator (andler left tha cham ber after hla effort with his clothing wet with perspiration, senator Steed Is a big fellow, and hast almqat put him out of business before he hod concluded. Senator Miller la a big man, but he stood to the Job with lees apparent discomfort than any of them. With only five more days of legisla tive life to Its credit the senate la still studiously Ignoring houae general bills. The house le apparently unconscious of the peril Impending over some pet measures, nnd calmly grinds through two long sessions a day without doing anything for the senate. Will It result In some valuable bills "going dead" be cause of thla cross purpose? transit It Is good to watch the wonder ful swiftness and dexterity with which Secretary Northen and Captain Han sen count the vote. It Is done with one comprehensive sweep of eye and out stretched arm, and In a twinkle comes the announcement: “The vote Is 27 to 0." It Is rarely more or fewer than 27 to 0. Thursday the count waa forgotten once, but It didn't make any difference. The vote recorded on the bill was 27 to 0. "Lawyer" In Rome urges ex-Con- gressman John W. Maddox for a place on the court of appeals. No abler man or Jurist could be picked for the place. Judge Maddox served several years'aa Judge of the Rome circuit before the Beventh district sent him to congress. Hla record on tho bench was aa fine and efficient aa any man who ever wore the ermine In Georgia. If north Georgia can persuade Judge Maddox to stand ae its candidate, he can win, for he le the strongest man In that section, without queatlon. Long years of up right and useful public service have ripened hla judgment and brought to him the complete confidence and esteem of the people. At preaent he Is may or of Rome, and that city Is getting an administration at hla hands that' f romlses to revolutionise affairs there, t he will allow the use of hla name he will prove a strong candidate, and If elected would make an able Judge.
