Washington.—The excise bill was
put through the senate by a coalition
of Democrats and Insurgent Republi¬
cans. It extends the provisions of the
corporation tax to all persons and
firms having an annual net income In
excess of $5,000. The vote was 37
to 18.
This action, following the adoption
of the LaFollette wool bill presages
the passage Qf a bill sharply reducing
sugar duties.
The coalition which at one time
seemed to have gone to pieces and
been replaced by a consolidation on
the Republican side and a closing of
ranks, as was disclosed in the vote on
the metals bill, is again in fine work¬
ing order.
The nearest approach to an income
tax Vhich the Democrats felt it was
safe to pass at this time was adopted.
Attached to the bill was a rider re¬
pealing the Canadian reciprocity act
and another creating a tariff commis¬
sion. This was the Cummins bill,
which had such an eventful experi¬
The estimated revenue from the tax
was stated to be $60,000,000 a year, or
amount equal to that which would

The measure was changed from the
house bill only in minor par¬
except for the adoption of
Canadian reciprocity repeal and
permanent tariff commission pro¬
It will go back to the house
for the approval of that body, and it
believed an agreement will soon
be reached.
The excise ^measure would levy
upon all persons, firms or copartner¬
ships an annual tax equal to 1 per
cent, of net income in excess of $#,000.

“In May, 1908,” he said, “he
(Thaw) obtained a writ of habeas
to secure his discharge on the
ground that he was then sane. The
question of his sanity was carefully
inquired into by Mr. Justice Morschau
ser, who, in an able opinion, decided
that he was then insane and that he
would be unsafe to set him free.
“In June, 1909, another writ of ha¬

French Market to Be Torn Down.
New Orleans.—The French market,
where four generations of housewives
have bargained and bought meats and
vegetables, will soon have passed. The
sanitarians have won in their fight
for conditions that will insure purer
food, and the market, part of which j
has stood since its first establishment'
in 1801, is to he replaced by a remod
eled structure, with white-tiled stalls
and modern screening instead of the j
open-to-fly booths a century old. The j
renovation of the market has already
begun.
Hydroplane for Each Battleship.
Washington—Each battleship of
the navy will be equipped with a
speedy hydroplane within the next
year if later plans of the navy de¬
partment materialize. Rear Admiral
Phillip Andrews, acting secretary,
has called upon manufacturers to no¬
tify the department not later than
August 15, whether they will submit
hydroplane designs to meet naval re¬
quirements. It is proposed to have
the machines sustain a speed in the
air of not less than fifty miles an
hour, carrying two passengers.
Hazlehurst Given Appointment.
Washington.—President Taft will
appoint Dorr Hazlehurst of Evansville,
Ind., a brother of Second Lieut. L. W.
Hazlehurst, who was killed in an aer¬
oplane accident at College Park, Md.,
June 11. a cadet-at-large, to West
Point. The president has ten of these
appointments each year, and he has
made it* an invariable rule to name
the sons of army officers. In recog¬
nition of the dead army aviator, how¬
ever, he decided to violate the rule
and appoint his brother.

Washington.—The postoffice appro¬
bill, shorn of the good roads
proposed by the house, and
a revised parcels post sys¬
with charges based on zones of

the postofvee committee.
The total appropriations proposed
the bill are above those of the
measure, which carried approx¬
$260,000,000. One of the prin¬
increases is in the pay of rail¬
for transporting mails, the sen¬
committee adopting an Increase

commission of three house mem¬
and three senators, and provides
no highway improvements until

the postmaster's annual report which
was completed by C. J. Sheehan, audi

Boys Fatally Hurt in Fight.
Louisville, Ky.—In a fight over a

ley Saylor, also aged 114. The Saylor
had rigged up the old table in

THIRTY PERSONS
PERISH INTLOODS
CLOUDBURST SENDS MILLIONS
OF GALLONS OF WATER INTO
PENNSYLVANIA MINE.
AVENUE OF ESCAPE CLOSED
All Western Pennsylvania Is Devas¬
tated—There Is Ruin
Everywhere
Pittsburg.—Death and widespread
devastation from tremendous rains
has resulted in western Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio and West Virginia. From
all sections comes details telling of
persons drowned or reported drown¬
ed; of hundreds of buildings wrecked
or completely washed away-, streets
torn up and bridges swept down; crops
ruined, light plants put out of com¬
mission and towns left to suffer their
misery in darkness, 'while transporta¬
tion, telegraph and telephone facili¬
ties are badly crippled.
At Evans Station, three miles north
of Uniontown, Pa., a cloudburst sent
waters raging into the mouth of the
Superba No. 2 mines. Fourteen men
were drowned like rats in a trap.
A few miles away at Lemont Mine
No. 2 three other men are reported
to have drowned in like fashion.
Up in the Red Stone valley near
Brownsville, Pa., it is rumored that
at least ten miners were caught while
at work by flood waters entering the
mines and drowned.
For a radius’ of 100 miles around
Pittsburg, there is a scene of deso¬
lation. Wrecked buildings are visi¬
ble everywhere.
Uniontown, Pa.—Caught like rats
in a trap when water rushed into the
manway of Superba No. 2 mines at
Evans Station, three miles north of
Uniontown, following drow^pd a w cloudburst,
thirteen men were and thir¬
ty-seven escaped after a most harrow¬
ing eperience. The men were drown¬
ed about four thousand feet from the
mouth of the mines, their only avenue
of escape.
Although the list given out by the
officials contains thirteen victims, it
is reported that at least one more vic¬
tim, an unknown foreigner will be
added.
Brownsville, Pa.—Horsemen dash¬
ing frantically down' the Red Stone
valley, often with water up to the sad¬
dle girths, made a journey of 9 miles
in time to save the lives of hundreds
of persons at Smock, a mining vil¬
lage. Aside .from the great quantity
of water due to the cloudburst, it was
feared a huge reservoir was about fo
let go.
“To the hills, to.the hills; the res¬
ervoir is breaking.”
The cry caused terror among the
joiners, and f within a few minutes a
thousand families were' rushing in and
through sides. Soon the muddy the water waters rushed to the into hill¬
the mining village, causing heavy
damage.
STORM STRIKE SAVANNAH
Lightning Starts Two Fires and Puts
Cars Out of Commission.
Savannah, Ga.—Savannah was vis¬
ited by a severe electrical storm that
brought with it a tremendous fall of
rain and during which time lightning
played pranks in many parts of the
city. Two fires were started by the
lightning; the street car service was
stopped and a great deal of incon¬
venience caused.
The flagpole, on top of the four
story Odd Fellows’ hall, on Barnard
and State streets, was struck by light¬
ning. The large building is tenanted
by a great many people, and the blind¬
ing flash of lightning and the ter¬
rific peal of thunder, accompanied by
the falling pieces of pole to the earth,
almost created a panic among them
for a time.
At the hon:$ of Isadore Gottlieb, on
Bryan and Montgomery streets, light¬
ning struck the wires, running into
the house and setting it on fire.
In Maggioni’s fish house, lightning
struck the wires, also, but did no
damage.
The other fire was in the extreme
eastern district of the city. It did not
amount to a great deal.
80 Miles an Hour for Mail Trains.
Chicago.—That mail trains frequent¬
ly are compelled to run more than
eight miles an hour to make the
schedules demanded by the United
States government, was brought out
at the investigation of the recent Chi¬
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
wreck at Western Springs, in which
thirteen lives were lost. The Illinois
railroad and warehouse commission is
making the investigation. Robert
Rice, superintendent of the railroad,
told of having ridden more than 80
miles an hour on mail 'trains.
Preacher Shot Dead.
Huntington, Tenn.—Rev. W. C.
Freeman, Primitive Baptist minister
and storekeeper of the village of
Mixie, was found dead in his store¬
house, as the result of a bullet wound
in his head. Whether the minister
was assassinated or shot himself was
not etermined. A small caliber rifle
was found near the body. One the¬
ory advanced, however, is that possi¬
bly the rifle was thrown near the body
of the minister as a ruse by those re
sponsible for his death. Several per¬
sons are under surveillance.
Shark Attacks Soldier.
Charleston, S. C.—While swimming
in about four and a half feet of wa¬
ter off Sullivan’s Island, Corporal
Kirkpatrick of the Seventy-eighth
company, coast artillery corps, was
bitten by an eight-foot shark. The
soldier sustained the loss of several
toes. Kirkpatrick, seeing the shark,
undertook to escape by hurrying for
the shore. The fish followed him and
snapped at his- feet. The victim suf¬
fered great pain.
OF
WHAT THE LAWMAKERS OF
THIS SESSION OF THE
There is a strong sentiment in the
general assembly to cut the state’s
revenue, and but little tendency to
make up the deficit close to $500,000,
caused by making new appropriations.
The Tippins bill, if it ever becomes a
law, will be cut off $250,000 more. The
repeal of the dog tax, which pours
$175,000 alone into the treasury, and
the threat to take a whack at the
peddler tax, would cause a greater
deficit.
The economists in the house and
senate are talking extra session. They
contend that the sessions will be nec¬
essary to devise means to meet the
serious financial condition. Represent¬
ative Joe Hill Hall, a member of the
appropriations committee of the
house, and some times referred to as
the “watchdog of the treasury,” de¬
clares that the net available cash bal¬
ance in the treasury amounts to ex¬
actly $78,740, and the principal asset
upon which the state can depend is
one-half year rental of the Western
and Atlantic railroad.
The house put the quietus on the
Ashley constitutional amendment pro¬
posing an additional tax of one mill
on the $840,000,000 worth of property
in 1913, and killed the hopes of the
ways and means committee to raise
$900,000 to pay the teachers of the
state their back salaries. The John¬
son free list bill, exempting farm
products from taxation for 1913, will
chop off another hunk of revenue, un¬
less it is killed in the senate.
The appropriations committee, al¬
though it has not completed its re¬
port, has recommended appropriations
which amount to nearly a million. The
normal at Milledggville has a deficien¬
cy of $12,5000 in last year’s appropri¬
ation, and has asked, through Repre¬
sentative Vinson of Baldwin that the
legislature . appropriate the money to
make up the deficiency. The commit¬
tee has recommended it, and there Is
little likelihood of it being turned
down.
The deficit, according to a state¬
ment made by one of the members of
the committee, and not contradicted,
was caused by the trustees of the in¬
stitution using the money to improve
the institution. They had no author¬
ity from the legislature to create the
deficiency, and it will be fought on
that ground on the floor of the house.
The most remarkable thing about
the hill known as the “woman lawyer
bill,” which gives to women the right
to practice law in the state, is the
amount of fuss and confusion it has
stirred up. Every member of the
house is “loaded” on the proposition
-that is, every one has a speech up
his leeve. The women who are work¬
ing for the bill have canvased the
house thoroughly.
“The hill is bound to pass in time,”
said one. “Public opinion is too much
in favor of the women, and I dare say
there will V but a scant few who
will dare vote against it. The ques¬
tion arises;
Are those who are “loaded’’ for or
against the bill?
Mr. Converse of Lowndes, one of
the most thoughtful members iq the
house, is lined up against the bill. He
will speak on it, and every one is in¬
terested in what he has to say on the
subect. Thus far he has declined to
speak for publication.
A bill to legislate flat 2-cent passen¬
ger fare upon nine railroads of the
state was introduced in the senate
by Senator Emmett Shaw of the Elev¬
enth district, and was referred to a
committee for consideration.
Senator Shaw's bill would require
the following railroads operating in
Georgia to establish a flat 2-cent per
mile passenger rate for transporta¬
tion within the state: Southern, Sea¬
board, Central, Atlanta and West
Point. Georgia, Florida and Southern.
Louisville and Nashville, Western and
Atlantic, Atlantic Coast Line and
Georgia railroad.
Senator W. J. Harris’ bill to create
the office of state auditor came up
and was vigorously fought by Sena¬
tor W. T. Dickerson. Action on the
bill wast postponed.
The bill creates the office of state
auditor at an annual salary of $2,500.
He is to be appointed by the gover¬
nor, confirmed by the senate, and is
subject to removal by the governor.
His bond is fixed at $10,000. His du¬
ties are to be superintendent of the
fisacal affairs of the state.
Senator J- C. Beauchamp of the
Twenty-second introduced a measure
that may make a radical change in
the management of the state sanita¬
rium for tubercular patients at Alto.
The hill calls for free treatment of in¬
digent patients.
By a vote of 101 to 2, the house
of representatives passed the hill of
Mr. Christopher of Hall providing for
an increase \ in Confederate pensions
to tally blind pensioners from $60 per
annum to $100. This bill passed prac¬
tically without discussion.
House bills passed:
House bill to amend act incorporat¬
ing village of Cave Spring.
House bill to amend act incorporat¬
ing town of Hitchcock, Wayne county.
House bill to abolish the city court

The following house hills were

IE
ARE ACCOMPLISHING
ASSEMBLY.
The house bill of Messrs. Tippins
and Alexander to prohibit the sale
of all beverages containing more than
one-half of one per cent, of alcohol,
w-as passed, without amendment, by
the senate, by the vote of 35 to 8. The
bill had already been passed by the
house. Jt goes now to Governor
Brown.
Five attempts were made to amend
the bill, but all were voted down. De¬
bate on the bill lasted a little over
an hour, and when the call for the
previous question was made the op¬
ponents to th.e bill made no further
attempt to block the vote.
The amendments were voted down
in rapid succession and when the
main question was ordered the vote
was as follows:
For the bill: Senators Aaron, Ad¬
ams, Beauchamp, H. C- Blalock, A. O.
Blalock, Bush, Copelan, Cromartle,
Culbreth, Davis, Dickerson, Douglass,
Duggan. Edwards, Felker. Graham,
Hamilton, Harris, Hullender, Kight,
Kincaid, Marshall, Mayson, Moore
Oliver, Owens Prather, Roberts, Si’"'”,
Shingler, Sheppard, Whitehead, Wil¬
liams and Worley—35.
Against the bill: Senators Brcwn,
Crawford, Ennis, Grovenstein, King.
Mann, Morris and Spence—^8.
Not voting: Senator Hill.
Senator W. T. Dickerson offered an
amendment to strike out the clause
allowing one-half of one per cent. ^>f
alcohol, making the hill apply to any
alcoholic liquor.
Senator L. C. Graham offered an
amendment to put, the initiative for
the enforcement of the law on the
various county sheriffs, instead of on
the governor.
Senator W. S. Mann offered to
amend by referring the measure to
the vote of the people.
Senator W. D. Crawford offered to
amend by striking the clause that
“liquor” shall be held to include any
liquid used as a beverage and any pro¬
prietary medicine.”
Senator J. B. Douglass of the Twen¬
ty-fifth offered to amend by striking
the clause barring any proprietary
medicine that can be used as a bev¬
erage, and this was taken up first for
debate. He spoke briefly in favor of
his amendment, stating that it was
unjust to bar medicines.
Within fifteen minutes after it had
become known that the senate had
passed the Alexanrer-Tippins substfc
tute bill, advocates and opponents of
the measure began to flock to the
governor’s office, the advocates to
urge that he approve the law and the
opponents to insist that he veto it.. To
none of his callers did the governor
indicate what he would do. He con¬
tented himself with simply stating
that the bill had not yet reached him
and until he received it and read it
he would make no comment upon it.
It will probably be two or three days
before (he bill getsjnto the hands of
the governor, as the senate cldrk
must first engross it and there are a
number of measures ahead of it await¬
ing to be recorded.
It is freely and openly claimed that
if the governor does veto the bill
his veto will not be overridden by the
house. -Members of the house who
are presuming to be in close touch
with the situation say that a mo¬
tion to override the governor's veto
will not get over one hundred votes,
even if that many. When the bill
was passed Under by the the house law it the receiv^l gover¬
129 votes.
nor has five days in which to pass
upon the law.
The house of representatives de¬
feated, by a vote of 98 to 55, the bill
to provide by constitutional amend¬
ment for the Extension of the West¬
ern and Atlantic railroad from Atlan¬
ta to the sea.
This bill has been under consid¬
eration by the house and has been
debated more at length and more gen¬
erally than any other bill up this ses¬
sion, not even excepting the Tippins
bill.
Mr. Alexander of DeKalb led the
fight for extension, and Mr. Hall of
Bibb the fight against. The bill did
not seek to extend. It merely author¬
ized future extensions in the wisdom
of future legislatures.
Efforts are being made in the state
senate to approve the Alexander child
labor, bill in its original form. The
house amendment, exempting mercan¬
tile establishments frim the provisions
of the measure, will be killed if the
bill’s advocates have, their way.
The measure will go to the senate
with a favorable report for the labor
committee, and will encounter little
opposition on the floor of the upper
house. It is practicalyl agreed that
the bill wil be approved—the adop¬
tion or rejection of the house amenu
ment being the only debatable issue.
