The minority filibustera in the Hou
have nothing to be proud of as legisla
tors.
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina,
and Federal Judge Pritchard have
clashed as to the enforcement of the
State rate law against railroads.
James B. Duke, the head of the to
baceo trust, gave Mrs, Inman, of At
lanta, $1,600,000 when they were mar
ried last week,
Seab Wright will have a difficult job
to put Joe Hill Hall in Roosevelt’s
‘‘Ananias Club.”” Hall isn’t that kind
of potash.
Deal Jackson, of Dougherty county,
brought in the first bale of new eotton

Gentlemen of the Georgia Legisla
ture, in the name of temperance,*don’t
be intemperate in your language. Try

Georgia.
To be a successful leader in a parlia
mentary body, a man must keep cool
and not lose his temper. Otherwise,
you destroy the support and confidence
ot your followers, and ihe opposition
gets the advantage,
Railroads must be terrible things in
the estimation of the Georgia legisla
tors, Seventy bills aimed at railroads
have been introduced, and others are
being introduced. If we had no rail
roads, the people would be in a bad fix.
Hon. Murphy Oandler seems to be a
better leader than Seab Wright, as he
brought about an amicable and mutual
agreement between the anti’s and pro
hi’a in the legislature to abandon delay
tactics and vote on the hill
A new swindle is abroad in Missouri,
according to the papers. The swindler
gells barbed wire fencing s{tretcher ma

forty rods of good fence for trial, re

for $3 00, which turns out to be $3OO 00,

That fight in the Legislature was
brought about by Joe Hill Hall saying
that ‘‘Wright wss unworthy to baa
member of the House,”” and he replied,
“You are a liar.”’” Let a committee be
appointed at once to investigate the
truth of these charges.
The Alabama legislature proposes to
make pistol toters in that State pay a
License and wear a badge. Such a badge
would cause Seople to shun the wearer

Buc the “pigtol toter” would dety the
law just the same. He carries it con
cealed now against the law, and he
would carry it then without the license
and the badge. Fe would take his
chance of detection undar one law as
much as he does under the other
The more the people think about it

several years.—Alpharetta Free Press,
Well, you will have done a great
service to the public if you can settle

we don’t belive there is a better law

the man that succeeds him ought to be
his equal in brains and knowledge.

The death of Grace Devereaux San
ford, nine years of age, daughter of
Prof. and Mrs. 8. V. Sanford, of Athens,
Ga., took place on Wednesday, July
24th, 1907, at the residence of her pa

day afternoon, and the remains were
brought to Marietta and interred in the
city cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanford have our pro
found sympathy in the death of their
precious daughter.
| AN EXCITING DAY.
Rarely, if ever before in the history
of Georgia, have such scenes of excite
‘ment been witnessed as have gathered
‘around the fight to pass the State pro
-1 hibitiou bill by the lower branch of the
Legislature last Wednesday week.
Hundreds of men, women and chil
dren thronged the galleries of the
\Houle and the halls of the capitol all
!day. Women singing and waving
flags added to the excitement. The
women of several Atlanta churches pre
pared lunches for the legislators and
served them in the capitol.
A well organiezed and well managed
fillibuster against the State prohibition
bill developed in the House of Repre
sentatives Wednesday, and every effort
to put the bill on its third reading and
passage met with failure.
The session, which had been continu
ous since 9 o’clock that morning, had
been drawn out until nearly 10:30 that
night, when disturbances from the gal
leries caused Speaker Slaton to order
them cleared. This was done, and the
acrimonious debate continued on the
floor. A dispute between Representa
tive Wright, of Floyd, and Representa
tive Hall, of Bibb, progressed to the
point where Mr. Wright told Mr. Hall,
“You’re a liar,”” Instantly the space
between the two was crossed and blows
were exchanged. Friends quickly in
tervened, quiet was restored, and in
silence almost painful, Representative
Candler urged that adjournment be
taken, which was done at 10:53.
On Thursday. an agreement was made
to take a vote on Tuesday.
PROHIBITION BILL PASSES.
On Tuesday numerous amendments
were offered but they were defeated
and the original Senate bill was passed
by 139 for to 39 against it. The bill to
take effect January Ist, 1908. Both of
Cobb county’s Representatives voted
for the bill.
IMPORTANT BILL.
Senator E. P. Dobbs, of the 35th Dis
trict, introduced a bill in the senate
Monday which, if enacted into a law,
will reiieve the situation all along the
Western and Atlantic railroad in refer
ence to th 2 fruit shipment. This bill
requires all railroad companies to fur
nish cars within a reasonable time af
ter they are ordered, and in the failure
of the said companies to farnish the
cars within the stated time, the rail
roads will be required to pay to the
shippers the market value of the fruit.
DR. ELDER HURT IN A RUNAWAY,
Dr. C. D. Elder, on Tuesday evening,
was out driving with Miss Agnes Linn
Jones, of Duluth, Ga., who is visiting
her cousin Mrs. J. P. Cheney on Law
rence street. The horses are quite
spirited and when he stopped in front
of Mr Cheney’s residence and got out
of the buggy to help Miss Jones out he
dropped the lines. The horses imme
dietely searted just as she reacked the
sidewalk. Dr. Elder quickly grabbed
the lines and made an effort to get in
the buggy, but failed and became en
tangled in the lines. The horses were
swift from the start and they went out
South Haynes street.- The Doctor was
thrown to the ground and dragged as
far as Mr. Harry Haynes’ residence be
yond Washingion Avenrue, where he
became disentangled and was left by
the horses, as they sped on to Roswell
street. In front of Mr. Tom Jackson’s
house they buggy came in contact with
electric or telephone pole and was bad
ly wrecked. This colliston detached
the horses from the vehicle and they
ran several miles.
Dr. Elder was carried to Dr. Field’s
residence. FKortunately no bones were
broken, but the Doector was badly
shaken up,bruised and numerous patch
es of skin taken off of his arms and legs
and it will be several days before he
is out on the streets again.
" KEEPING COOL. 1
With the hot seasou upon us our at- |
tention must be given to matters ufi
dress and food, if we are to protect ous
selves from the heat. Inlarge meas-l
ure the human body automatically
protects itself in both hot and cold .
weather, but with proper care, we can ‘
aid nature af much in summer as we
do in winter. On the subject of eat-‘
ing, the New York Herald offers the
following advice: I
“Let us understand in the first place
that we do not need much fuel for our
internal furnaces with an outside tem
perature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but
only enough energy to keep us going at !
a very moderate pace. Plain and cool.
ing viands answer both purposes. Meats
once a day should be sufficient for or
dinary ueeds; while fish, milk. eggs,
cereals and fresh fruitz should consti
tute the main diet.
“As to drinks, we are not apt to be
kept within bounds. With rapid evap
oraticn of fluids thirst keeps apace, and
the equilibrium must be maintained.
But this can be done safely by plain
water, and in plenty, which is nature’s
only real need. While soft drinks and
‘malt liquors may be taken on special
‘occasions, alcohol in any of its forms
is not only useless for cooling pur{poses,
buv is generally positively harmful, as
tipplers are the ones most liable to sun
strokes. Think of this, good friend ; if
you say whisky warms you in winter,
what must it do for you in summer?”’
In Marietta very little aleoholic
drinks are used, and the people are en
joying good health and manage to keep
'cool. It is the Georgia legislature that
‘‘keeps hot.”
