SEMI-WEEKLY
House in Travail
Over Tippins Bill
Atlanta, July 8.-—House bill No.
4—otherwise known as the Tippins
bill—to the fore!
Substitutes, amendments and per
fervid oratory formed the concomi
tant ingredients to the flushing of
the famous anti-beer measure out
in the open. The substitutes were
provided by Joe Hill Hall and Ran
doplh Anderson, the amendments
by a dozen or more members and
the soaring eloquence to date of
Hooper Alexander.
When the preliminaries of the ses
sion, beginning at 11 o’clock today,
were over, Speaker Holder announc
ed in stentorian voice:
“The clerk will read house bill No.
2 :
And the row was on. Fought off
frcm passage last session, the Tip
pins bill was at last on a clear track
for final disposition—and the out
come is not in the slightest degree
in doubt in the house.
By agreement debate is limited to
two hours on each side and the
‘measure is to be the continous order
of business until disposed of, and it
is probable that the previous ques
tionjwill be called before 1 o’clock to-
MOrrow.
Joe Hill Hall offered his package
house bill as a substitute for the
Tippins bill and Randolph Anderson
submitted a substitute in the shape
of a lccal option measure with some
new twists to the same. Various
amendments were offered, some of
importance, others of little moment.
A sharp . colloquy between Mr.
Alexander and Mr. Hall offered the
principal diversion today. When the
galleries applauded a retort of Mr.
Alexander to Mr. Hall relative to
locker clubs, it angered the Bibb
man and he persisted in pressing
the DeKalb representative until he
had won his point.
As soon as the bill was read the
house got down to business on it.
Mr. Alexander held the floor when
the hour of adjournment arrived,
but said he would want only a few
minutes to conclude tomorrow. Mr.
Hall will follow him, opposing the
Tippins bill. *

Representative Adams, of Hall,
offered the following amendment:
Amend the act by adding a new
section as follows:
Section 6—Be it further enacted
that the foregoing 5 sections of the
bill shall not be deemed or consider
ed to be vahd law, or of force of
such, until the same shall have ..:en
submitted to a vote of the people of
Georgia, as hereinafter provided and
ratified by a majority of those vot
ing on the question. That is to say,
the governor shall by appropriate pro
clamation, publishing the act in one
or more newspapers, cail on the peo
ple to vote at the g-=neral election
in October, 1912, either “For Prohi
bition” or “Against Prohibition,” and
if a majority of those voting at said
election vote “for prohibition,” said
six sections shall become of force ac
cording to their own terms, but if a
majority vote “against prohibition”
then said sections shall not be or
become of force.”

on the average of all British sub
jects.
