TRICKS FUMES WITH FURY
EDITOR TRIPL TT BOMBARDED
WITH BILLINGSGATE.
A Deminciatory Editorial In the Thom
asviiie ‘Times" the stinger That
Stirred Up the Legislator—H9 De
nies That He Intended Preaching
Sectionalism When He Oppoaed the
Board of Health Bill.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. I.—Mr. Fricks of
Franklin varied tue House r< utine tr-day
by rising to a question of personal privilege,
of which he made Editor Triplett of tne
Thomasville Ti nes the subject. Mr. Fricks
distinguished himself last week by narrow
minded opposition to the bill for a state
board of health. The Times, in a recent
issue, embalmed bim iu the following edi
torial :
That was a narrow-gauge member of the
House who said, when discussing the state
board of health: “1 don't think the people of
North Georgia should pay for the protection of
the people of South Georgia." His name is
Ericks. Fricks evidently belongs to the
Doodleville and Poes in Trot, class of
Statesmen. Eric s does not lo )k beyond his
front gate, if he has such an appendage about
his premises. Fr;ck< is a tool. A man who cm
not legislate tor aDe whole s-tate should bo left
at home. This is about the meanest thin per
petrated by any momb-r of t ie present legis
lature. South Georgia. Southeast Georgia and
Southwest Georgia are not b-ggars or mendi
cants. They pour their wealth into the state
treasury by the thousands, su pur n '. liuer
fcliy. every state institution in Mi ..lie and North
Georgia, ami it comes inv-tybad last) lora
representative fro u tnat section to talk about
North Georgia “protecting" Sou h Georgia.
Such narrow gang; men as Fricks make the
oouutry tired.
RE\D TO THE HOnSE.
Mr. Fricks h and this i end bv the clerk, and
the amuse,;.etit of the House showed that
itwase joyed. Tue ge itle.uan from Frank
lin then said: “Mr. Speaker—l rise to a
question of personal privilege. A few days
ago the House had be.o e it a bill to es,ab
bs b a state board of uealtu. Some of the
friends of the measure moved to table the
bill, which motion was lost. They then j
moved to have the bill recommitte I. Thii
motion also failed. Tuen the gentleman
from Gwinnett moved to have it Indefi
nitely postponed. At this juncture the
gentleman from Chatham remarked that
the members from North Georgia ought net
to vote down the bid in any such a way.
WHAT HE SAID.
"In explaini g my vote, I stated that I
vo'ed to indefinitely postpone the bill be
cause 1 was opposed to it. I farther sta el
that tho bill was unju t, bee iuo it only
recognized one t-ch ol of pliysiciaus; be
sides, there was no necessity for anv s ch
law in ihe stat.-. North Georgia and Mid
die Georgia were oppo* dto it in fo/n. If
the people of South Georgia wanted it, let
them es ahlish it a id pay for it.
didn’t intend sectionalism.
"I did not me the la guage in the sense
nor in the connection as quot'd in the
Thoinasville and other papers, and what I
did say was said, not in u spirit of section
alism, but in reply to tho re narks of soni ■
Of the gentlemen who favored the hill. I
have tho welfare of the whole state at heart,
and every vote that I have cast on the
floor of this House has been, as I thought,
to the best i tere its of the s ate at large,
ana not f >r any particular section.
JUMPING ON THE EDITOR.
“Now, Mr. Speaker, I want to sav that
the criticism of this dirty and f ul-m >ut ed
editor of the Thoma<ville Times, whose
name I believe is Triplett, i u mailed for
and unjust, and, judging from the tone of
his slang, he must be jus rec iveri g from a
case of delirium tremens o" m ligniuit fever,
and I want to say that if tbi jackleg
gopher editor wants to shoot at a fool
to reverse his vile anger ad pan -r wads
ands oot himself, and t ins relieve T omas
vilie of the biggest pest and dirtiest fool in
Georgia. And, in dis uis i g him, I wish
to say that if we don’t es a lish the state
beard of hoalt \ where he can he treated for
his vile diseases, wo will try and get hi n
admitted into the lu atic ns lum, here h •
may be ured of delirium tremens ad
other destructive diseases that are preying
on his little brain.”
THE EDITOR DEFENDED.
When Mr. Fr.ck ■ sat down,
of Thomas rose in defense of Editor Triplett,
whom he referred to as a s >u and and stoning
democrat, a delegate t ■ the last two national
conventions, a confederate veteran of sp t
le s record, and the peer of any man in he
state. The statement ot the gentleman from
Franklin that Editor Triplett was a fool a id
drunkard he denounced hs absolutely false.
FELTON’S EDUCATIONAL BILL.
The House spent nearly the entire day in
oomn ittie of the whole n Mr. Felton’s
educational bill. The university appr pri
ation, while there r as a decided maj ri : y
in favor of it, wasfoughtst bbornly a.l day,
at and if the opposition could have . rougut
it to a vole this afternoon they would
have killed it, as it could not rally a consti
tutional majori y. The bill was amended
in committee o the whole in several impor
tant particulars. Mr. Lawso i of Putnam
ottered an amendment, which was accepted
by the friends of the bill, re hieing the
am unt to be appropriated from $35.0J0 to
$15,000.
THE EXPERIMENT STATION.
The farmers were at aid t > ri k the ex
periment. station in the bill, and, through
Mr. Calvin of Richmond, proposed an
amendment striking out the third section—
which makes an app oprialioti for the
Station—which was dopted. Witu these
amendments the committee reported the
Felton substitute to the House with a fa
vorable recommendation, by a vote cf 75 to
40. When the bill was reported the hour
of adjournment was so near that its friends
succeeded in delaying a vote till the speaker
declared an adjournment.

Sarah Bernhardt’s Mausoleum.
Paris Letter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A curious fact about Sarah Bernhardt is
that she has caused a most sumptuous tomb
t • be prepared in Pere la Chaise for her
own obsequies. It is all in w hite marble,
with the one word •‘Bernhardt’’ inscribed
above the portal. Uit in there is >p< e
for a single collin only. The great actress
desires to be lone after death, as silo as
been unapproachable in her genius during
life. Eve v year on her birthday she visits
this tomb ad lays up- m it a vvioath of im
mortelles. Some ouo ask and lie ■ wiiv she
did so. “B cause," she sa.d, “I would like
to have my grave decorated witti ii wore
lifter my dea h, and perhaps if I accustom
people t> see it so adorned they will follow
my example and keep up the custom woe t
lam no more.” Is more ot something
piteous in this olin ting of the most an u
actress f her genera iou to the fla-ti.ig
memories of those sue will leave behind
her!
