HOLES FOR HOUSE
GAUSE WARM
DISCUSSION
SPEAKER MORRIS DEFENDS RE-
PORT OF COMMITTEE ON
FLOOR OF HOUSE—HALL
HAD AMENDMENTS.
The report of the committee on rules
having been made the special order of the
day for the house of representatives, it
was taken up immediately after the read
ing of the Journal this morning.
Joe Hall, of Bibb, offered several amend
ments to the report of the rules commit
tee, but the speaker pro tem. ruled that
the amendments had to be referred to the
committee on rules. Mr. Hail appealed
from the decision of the chair, but the
speaker ruled that the appeal was out of
order, because there was other business
before the house.
After much argument the appeal was,
however, put to the members of the house,
and Mr. Hall argued strongly that the
decision of the . speaker be reversed. Mr.
Morris argued that the decision should be
sustained, urging that the rules of last
year, under which the house was then
acting, laid down as a rule that no rules
could be adopted by the house until the
committee on rules had reported on them.
Emerson George, of Morgan, also argued
for a reversal from the decision of the
speaker. The appeal from the decision
lead to a bitter fight on the floor, many
of the members taking part in the debate
which followed
To shut off debate the previous question
was called, and a vote on the appeal
from the decision of the chair showed
that the house was in favor of sustaining
the chair in its opinion of referring to the
committee on rules the amendment of Mr.
Hall, the vote on the question being 74
for sustaining the decision of the chair,
as against 61 against sustaining the chair.
The amendments of Mt. Hall were there
fore referred to the rules committee.
Mr. Hall then moved the report of the
rules committee, together with his
amendments, be recommitted to the com
mittee cn rules. On this motion the vote
stood 49 tn favor of Hall’s motion, and
60 against, so that Mr. Hall's motion was
lost.
Mr. Hall then asked unanimous consent
to withdraw all of his amendments, and
his resolution in regard to the appoint
ment of a finance committee. This con
sent was given.
The report of the committee was then
taken up, section by section, to be acted
upon.
The first section of the report, as taken
up. was as follows:
"Resolved, that this house adopt the
rules of 1900-1961, with the following

general tax bill shall have precedence on
third reading until the same shall have
been disposed of.”
On this amendment to the rules, Mr.
Hall offered an amendment that the
amendment of the rules committee oe
stricken from tho report.
Mr. Morris argued strongly In favor of
the passage of this section of the report.
He said that the house had remained un
til 3 o'clock on Bunday morning at Its
last session trying to pass the general
appropriation bill. This section of the re
port was unanimously passed by the
house, without a dissenting vote.
The second section of the report was as
follows:
"The committee recommends the adop
tion of a rule to be known as No. 59 as
follows:
“ ‘After a yea and nay vote this call on
any bill or resolution, the house not acting
at tne time under the previous question,
and one vote has been recorded, no mo
tion to table shall be in order, until the
roll call shall have been completed. When
any bill or resolution tabled after the
completion of the roll call and then fa
tten from the table, nothing can be done,
except to announce the result of said
vote, as shown by said roll call at the time
said bill or resolution was tabled.”
On this sectlo.i there was another strong
fight, Mr. Morris urging its passage, say
ing that some members were in the hab
it of having their bills tabled when they
saw they were lost .and taking them up
numerous times unui they were passed.
Mr. George, of Morgan, fought the
passage of the amendment offered by the
rules committee and himself offered an
amendment, which was lost, and the
second section of the report was unani
mously adopted by the house. *
The third section of the report was
then taken up, as follows: "The com
mittee further recommends that rule 187
shall read as follows: ’Every motion for
information from the executive depart
ment shall lie on the table for one day.*
This section was also unanimously passed.
The fourth section was as follows:
‘"The committee recommends the creation
of a new standing committee on the Uni
versity of Georgia and its branches."
Mr. Morris urged that there was a com
mittee for the blind school, for the deaf
and dumb school and for the state sani
tarium, and that there should be one for
the state university and its branches.
This section was unanimously passed
by the house.
The fifth section was as follows: “The
committee further recommends that a
committee heretofore existing by special
resolution be made one of the standing
committees, to-wit: A committee on
amendments to the constitution.”
The motion to adopt the report of the
rules committee was unanimously passed
and the committee’s import was aaopied.

house and two from the senate, which

LOCAL TAXATioETIT 7
WANTED FOR SCHOOLS
A bill advocating local taxation for the
common schools of the state will be in
troduced in the house at the coming ses
sion and strong efforts will be made to
pass It. While the author of ihe bill to
yet unknown, Hon. Hoke Smith, of At
lanta, will make an address before the
committee on education when the meas
ure comes up for discussion.
The bill, it to understood, will provide
that the districts in each county In the
state be allowed to tax themselves for
the support of the schools, the matter
to be left entirely to the district. The
county will have nothing to do with the
system. When a county district desires
better schools the question of increas
ing the taxes of the district for that pur
pose will be submitted to the voters of
the district and if a majority of them
decide to increase the tax, then the tax
will be imposed.
By those who are urging the passage of
such a measure it is said that this sys
tem will be much better than if each
county is authorized to impose local tax
ation. because there are certain districts
in the county that are opposed to local
taxation, while there might be other dis
tricts that favor it.
Corn Bread.
Richmond Dispatch.
With good meal and a cook following the
lessons and traditions at the old regime, de
licious bread may be baked of Indian meal.
But we have grave doubts whether it can ba
baked as well in a stove as in an open fire
place. But, alas, of the latter only a few re
main.
An ash-cake, of course, must have ashes.
They are Indispensable. As well try to produce
a mint julep without mint. On the other hand,
"flap-jacks” need only a well-greased frying
pan: but skill Is required to turn them. That
is done by pitching them out of the pan into
the afr and making them come down flap on
e other side. The corn pone may be cooked in
a stove or range.
The hoe-cake was originally cooked on a hoe
In the fields and In the negro cabin. A skillet
will do well enough for It, but must be well
greased at the bottom. So. too. with respect
to egg or batter bread. As for corn muffins, the
appliances of a range are admirably adapted to
them.
We wish some millionaire would fit up a Vir
ginia country home in ante-bellum style, and
among other things have in it a big open fire
place. a black cook in a gingham dress with
a red bandanna on her head and also have a
half-acre mint bed. an ice house and an old
time garden filled with raspberries and goose
berries, thyme, sage, currants and all the or
dinary table vegetables.
When one of those old-time homes and gar
dens and kitchens Is restored and the host and
hostess have entered into possession we desire
to be listed as a frequent guest with reserved
seat in the chimney corner. Then all we shall
want will be the seat, the appetite, the vora
ciousness we poss rased when we could eat
eighteen rolls and six eggs for breakfast and
consume a whole 'Watermelon between meals.
But. alas, it woulJ be easier to restore old
walls and open flrtjAices than to bring back
the digestion and capacity of a youth
that’s gone, of a tua» that’s past and never
can return.

on a flurry of the general buying in which the
room shorts took the lead. Europe and the spin
ning interests of America were conspicuous as
buyers of the winter months. The selling was
chiefly for new orders and local bear leaders’
accounts. The leading bull influences which
created the early buying movement were frost
reports from the eastern half of the belt and
a rise of 1 to 2 points in Liverpool. Wall street
was a moderate buyer of the January option
following the call. As the demands of the
smaller shorts were appeased the market settled
back a point or so and the frost discussion took
the view that the damage resulting from the
cold wave would be small, as the crop was
nearly all gathered in that section and the top
crop prospects had been poor at best before the
cold snap. Liverpool was reluctant to act and
X'ew Orleans held relatively steadier than the
New York market. The official estimates for to
morrow’s Houston receipts were 3,000 bales,
more than the same day last year, and this
gave the bears something to work on. How
ever, the commission houses came into pos
session of orders as the news spread over the
country that the heavy frosts had stopped the
maturement of late cotton over north Georgia,
north Alabama, north Mississippi find North
and South Carolina. Speculation was fairly ac
tive all the forenoon.
At noon the market was barely steady with
prices 2 to 3 points higher.

Murphy A. Co.’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29.—Satisfactory cables, to
gether with reports of very low temperature
with killing frost at one point In the mountain
district of Georgia encouraged the bull ele
ment when the market opened this morning.
Numerous points reported a temperature in th*
thirties and forties and shorts were nervous
and hastened to cover. Ellison, of Liverpool, es
timated the crop at 11,200,000 bales, consumption
of .American at 10,800,000. Shortly after the
opening prices were strengthened by additional
reports of killing frost with temperature as low
m 30 in Mlsslssli pi. Bears attempted to hammer
the market, and despite the tow temperature,
of which there was no doubt, since the reports
Were official, there was no great eagerness to
buy. Liverpool appeared as a moderate seller
In this market and Ellison’s figures were ac
cepted as more bullish than bearish. While
the more conservative element were disposed to
await the effect of frost before adopting dicided
views as to damage, etc. On the whole, the
first day’s killing frost may be said to have
caused much less commotion than anticipated;
In fact, the market dragged along without much
spirit and changes were slight. Port receipts
52.000, against 59,000 last year. Cables were
steady at gachanged prices, except October 1
higher.
Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. Wheat opened steady on
firm cables, small receipts in the northwest and
a good cash demand. The strength of the north
western markets was again the feature. Advices
from San Francisco were still bullish, stating
that the market was still in receipt of good
ord' s from Australia. December opened a shade
lower to He higher at 73H@7314c to 73%c and
on fair buying advanced to 7341 c. Later the mar
ket sold off to 73Kc on selling of May by
brokers. Receipts 70 cars. 8 contract. Minneapo
lis and Duluth reported 694 cars, a total for the
three points of 764. against 759 last week and
765 a year ago.
The market held about steady th* greater part
of die day, but there was some profit taking
near thee lose, causing a decline, December
selling to 72%c. and closing %OHc lower at
mbvmte.
Weak cables and fine weather caused corn
to open lower and trading was light. Commis
sion houses bought freely at the decline and the
early loss was large regained, the firmness in
wheat also being a supporting factor. Another
decline followed, however, on selling of May
by brokers. December opened a shade to
lower at 50%®50c. quickly advanced to MHc.
only to react again to 50fec. Receipts 133 cars.
20 contract.
Corn was influenced chiefly by wheat and to
gether with realizing on December that option
declined to 60%c and closed ?4c lower at WHO
50He-
Oats opened quiet practically unchanged. The
market was influenced considerably by the ac
tion of other grains. December opened unchang
ed at 30%c. but declined to 30%c. Receipts 159
ear*.
Higher hogs imparted strength to provisions at
the start with lard still the leader. Commission
houses and brokers were the best buyers. Jan
uary pork opened 10c higher at 815.75; January
lard 5c higher at $9.35@3.87H and ribs 5c higher
at |8.30.

Bell Bros.’ Fruit and Produce Letter.
ATLANTA,Ga., Oct. 90.—The cool weather has
caused live poultry to decline at least 10 per
cent, while it has given a firmer tone to eggs
and dressed poultry and both the latter are
finding ready sale on arrival. Florida oranges
are coming a little more freely, and we are
not having much trouble in disposing of them.
Limes are dull, while pineapples are scarce and
active but very few have as yet reached our
market. Smoked ham* and shoulders are scarce
and are finding ready sale upon arrival. Chin
quepins and chestnuts selling readily and are
active at quoted prices. Cabbage are not so
plentiful and green stock is In strong demand,
sweet potatoes have a firmer tone, especially
>he old-fashioned pumpkin yam variety, and
you need not be afraid to make shipments, as
they will sell "right now.” Tomatoes and Bell
peppers are dull, owing to the liberal growth at
borne. Celery is active and finding ready sale.
Fish of all description ar* very scarce and
all varieties ar* actlv* eeller* on arrival

A Georgian is rated in New York as on*
of the world s leading financiers. He is
Samuel Spencer, formerly of Columbus
The New York World, in an article on
J. P. Morgan's cabinet, devotes consider
able space to Mr. Spencer, on* of the
members.
Morgan’s cabinet is better paid than any
cabinet cn earth, says The World. Its
members receive on an average $1,250,000 a
year each. The United States pay* the
members of President Roosevelt's cabinet
SB,OOO a year each.
Morgan discusses all matters of import
ance with his cabinet, sometimes with in
dividual members, sometimes with them’
all. He is not a patient listener. Before a
man is through talking he is quite likely
to shut him off by putting an abrupt ques
tion to another member of his council.
Cabinet Settled Coal Strike.
When it was decided to end the eoal
strike Morgan discussed the matter first
with his cabinet. They worked out th*
details of the proposition subsequently
submitted to President Roosevelt and later! ,
accepted by Mitchell and the miners. It,
was the same with the merger of the rall-i
roads that resulted in the Northern Secu
rities company, the union of the manyx
companies which form the United States
Steel corporation and the creation of the
International Mercantile Marine company,
or steamship trust.
Besides Mr. Morgan there are eleven
members of the firm of J. P. Morgan &■
Co. Morgan’s cabinet, however, is not'
made up wholly of members of the firm.
Four of the seven cabinet members are
nominally outsiders, but their interests,
are so interlaced with ie affairs of Mor
gan & Co. that they and the firm are prac
tically one.
The cabinet is made up by Mr. Morgan
with regard to the Ability of each coun
sellor in some special important line of'
work. There are huge departments to be
managed and directed in the affairs of J.
P. Morgan & Co., just as there are in the
affairs of the nation.
Cabinet Meets Each Week.
While Mr. Morgan and its members nev
er speak of the body of advisors as a
cabinet, it is no exaggeration to give it
that title, for in many respects its work
is of greater importance than that of the
regular cabinet many nations. When
it is realized that the six and a half bil
lion* of property interests which the cab-i
inet controls is nearly two billions more
than all the world’s gold, coined and un
coined, and that by drastic action it could
heap ruin upon nearly all the great flnan-,
cial centers of the wo nd. prevent or pro
voke warfare on a tremendous scale. It
can be realized that It is no exaggeration i
to dignify Morgan’s council with the title
of cabinet.
The cabinet meets at least once a week
in private conference room in the read of
the Morgan banking house at No. 23 Wall,
street.
Only three of Morgan’s partners. Bacon,,
Steele and Perkins, are in th* cabinet--
Samuel Spencer until recently was in the
firm, but wished to separate himself from
the banking business so that h* could
concentrate his energies upon railroading.
He spends a good part of each day, how
ever, in the office of Morgan & Co.
The other partners in the firm ar*
George C. Thomas, Edward T. Stotesbury,',
James W. Paul, Jr., J. Pierpont Morgan/
Jr., Temple BOwdoin. Edward M. Robin
son, Edward F. Whitney and William
Pierson Hamilton.
Sketch of Mr. Spencer.
Samuel Spencer is the practicati railroad,
man in Morgan s cabinet. From 1887 until > ’
about two years ago Mr. Spencer was a
member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & 00. t
He is fifty-five. years old. a Georgian
by birth, and began his railroad career
in 18fi9 by carrying a chain for a
of surveyors employed by the Savannah?
and Memphis Railroad company. Throe
years later he was assistant engineer of'
the company.
Thereafter his progress in railroading*
was rapid. He worked up grade by grade,
filling every position, and in 1885 he suc
ceeded Robert Garrett as president of the
Baltimore and Ohio system. Two year*
later Mr. Morgan induced him to enter his :
firm.
When the Southern railway was cre
ated Mr. Spencer was made its presi
dent. His detailed knowledge of railroads i
is said to exceed that of any man in th*
country. Mr. Morgan relies implicitly
upon his judgment in all matters pertain
ing to railroads.
Mr. Spencer is a short, wiry little man,
teeming with energy. He has a country ! |
home at Tuxedo and a town house at No. ‘
29 West Seven ty-third street.
