WHAT GEORGIA’S LEGISLATORS ARE DOING AT THE STATE’S CAPITOL STITE IS FACING A GREAT DMT MOTION TO CHANGE BILLS FROM ONE COMMITTEE TO ANOTH ER CAUSED SPIRIT- ED DEBATE. Followin< the roll cell Thursday the reading of the house journal was dis pensed with, and at the request of Mr. Felder. Os Bibb, the order of the day was dispensed with, and a large number of new Mils were introduced, as were a large number of reports of standing committees of the house. Among the most important Mils fa vorably reported was a Mil by Mr. How ell. of Meriwether, providing that a per manent loan fund of IWd.WO to be ap propriated and established in the state treasury, to be paid annually, on the first of March, to the common school fund, so that the school teachers may be paid their salaries regularly at every month, instead of awaiting the time the money may have accrued in the state ti easury. The bill by Mr. Blackburn, of Fulton, providing for the establishment of a state patrol, was made the special order of the day for Tuesday, November 35. immediately following the reading of the house Journal, and 309 copies of the Mil were ordered printed for the use of the members of the house The house will continue to convene at • o’clock every morning. Mr. Steed, of Taylor. Introduced a resolution that the house assemble at 9:» o’clock every morning, instead of at 9 o’clock as it does now. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, said he thought the house would need all of its time, and he urged against the pas sage of the resolution. Mr. Steed, of Taylor, who Introduced the bill, said he thought the house should remain in session for four hours, and he was wil ling to meet at 9:30 and remain until 1:39. The resolution was lost, however, the former vote in the bouse announcing it self willing to arrive at an earlier hour in the morning. The report of the rules committee on a resolution of Mr. Tlgner, of Muscogee, brought on a bitter fight on the floor of the house. Mr. Tlgner several days ago . Introduced a resoludon providing that ail measures which dealt with taxation of franchisee In this state be placed in the hands of a special committee to be appointed by the speaker. On supporting his resolution, which had been unfavorably reported by the commit tee on rules. Mr. Tlgner stated that these franchise taxation bills were especially important, and that they should not be discussed by two or three committees, but should be. referred to a skilled commit tee. r Mr. C. 8. Reid, of Campbell, chairman of the committee on ways and means, was at once on the floor and his Speech was one of dramatic and sensational interest. “Gentlemen of the house.” he began, and kls voice quavered with anger, ’’that res olution is introduced to throttle the tax ation of franchises In this state.” Instantly Mr. Tlgner was on his feet demanding to be heard on the question of personal privilege, stating that the insin uation of Mr. Reid demanded that he make an explanation. Mr. Tlgner was ruled out of order, and Mr. Reid continued a most sensational speech. *T do not charge that It is the intention of the gentleman of Muscogee to hinder these tax franchise bills, but it is the in tention of the bill to hinder these fran chise tax laws. "Gentlemen, we have reached the crisis In the financial affairs in this state. Two years ago a deficit of 3336.000 was paid from the public property fund of this state. I do not intend to speak on the legality of that use of the public property fund, but we are now facing this state of affairs—we are, after cutting every pos sible appropriation, facing a deficit of nearly 3100,000 and we have no public property fund upon wnlch to draw. Every dollar you add to the appropriations of the committee you increase the deficit of the state treasury. ”If you refer these measures to a spe cial committee you will never have these measures brought up at this session of the house. This matter has been discuss ed all over Georgia for ten years, and the house is ready to act on the question of taxing the franchises in this state. Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, chairman of the committee on general judiciary, asked Mr. Reid if the committee on ways and means had had the time and opportunity to dis cuss these franchise tax bills which had been referred to It “No,” shouted Mr. Reid, “every effort of the committee of ways and means to get to these measures has been throttled. It is my opinion that the Interests con cerned in this franchise tax bill are very much dissatisfied with the chairman of the committee on ways and means." There was quite a deal of applause in the house when Mr. Reid finished hie speech. Mr. Tlgner was on his feet tn an Instant and secured the floor. He replied to what he said were the in slnuations of Mr. Reid that he was trying to block the legislation on taxing fran chises. "The speech of the gentleman >from Campbell was the speech of a d<gna gogue,” he said, “and we are not here for grand stand plays. We are here for business. We are not here for insinua tions. and I hope you will hurl back his Insinuations. In direct violation to the rules he has dragged into this discussion things which have happened in the com mittee rooms. Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, said that be hoped the report of the a committee, which was unfavorable to Mr Tlgner's resolution, would be adopted by the legis lature. Mr Hall mid that he had for four years tried to have the house pass a bill taxing corporations, and had failed, having had it referred at this session to the committee of the whole bouse, and he did not desire to have the bill referred go a special committee. Speaker Morris surrendered the chair and argued for the defeat of Mr Tlgner's resolution, arguing that Mr. Reid's re marks were not the remarks of a dema gogue. He said the committees had al ready partially decided upon the bills which had been referred to them, and that it was not right to refer the bills to an other committee. Murphey Candler, of DeKalb, also fa vored the defeat of the resolution of Mr. Tlgner. On the vote the resolution of Mr. Tig ner. providing that all measures belong ing to taxing franchisee bo referred to a special committee, was lost by a vote of 67 to M Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that the house reconsider its action In defeating the passage of his famous “no free pass MIL” which was killed a few days ago. stating that if the house would reconsider the bill, he would move to lay it on the table, and give the legislators time to think about it until the house met again, at its next session a year off. Mr. Franklin, of Washington, fought the movement to reconsider, and by fill usterfng kept the house from acting. She Mio wing new bills wore introduced FREE PASS BILL RECONSIDERED FRIDAY BUT THE FAMOUS MEASURE WILL NOT AGAIN COME UP AT THIS SESSION—NEW BILLS INTRODUCED. • Following the call of the roll of mem bers, and the reading of the house jour nal of Friday, the committee on edu cation introduced a report on the famous child labor bill, by Mr. Houston, of Ful ton. in which they recommended that the bill be passed, and offering no amendment to the bill. The “no pass bill” of Mr. Hall, of Bibb, which was killed a few days ago by the house, but which Mr. Hall desired re considered by the house, was again taken up by the house. The motion to reconsider the bill was passed, the vote on the question being 73 to 46. Mr. Houston, of Fulton, asked that his child labor bill be made the special order of the day for next Wednesday. Novem ber Mth. and that the previous question be considered called at 11:30 o’clock. Un der the rules of the house, this request must go to the committee on rules, who will report on it in the morning. It is more than probable that the com mittee will report favorably on the question. A bill by Mr. Harden, of Chatham—Pro viding that the clerks of the city courts of this state can appoint deputy clerks, who shall take the same oath and have the same duty, and legalising all acts pre viously done by deputy clerks, was then read for the third time and plased on Its passage. Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, said he had not had time to investigate the bill, but that if, on Investigation, he found that he would ask for an amendment In the sen ate, but that ho did not now object to the bill. The bill was therefore passed by the house, the vote being 89 to 0. House bill No. 37. by Messrs Steed and Hixon, of Carroll—To extend the powers of the railroad commission, so as to have the power to force railroads to take freight and to deliver the same. Mr. Sla ton .of Fulton, asked that the bill be tem porarily tabled while 200 copies of the bill were printed and the members have a little time l> study the bill. The au thors of the bill agreed to this. House bill 33. by Mr. Dunbar, of Rich mond—To create a board of police com missioners for the city of Augusta, was passed by a vote of 91 to 0.

A bill by Mr. Slaton, of Fulton—Provid ing to increase the salaries of superior court judges, was tabled upon motion of the author, the small number of members present in the house making it dangerous to place a general bill on its passage. No. 66, by Mr. Felder, of Bibb—Provid ing for the manner of selling cocaine so that no prescription for cocaine can be refilled, a new prescription -elng neces sary every time the drug is purchased. Mr. Felder said that the use of cocaine was becoming so common that something would have to be done at once to stop it. The bill was passed by a vote of 100 to 1.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 2 to 5 points, chiefly under adverse cables. These were ex pected to be 2 points lower to match our clos ing of yesterday, but the Liverpool market finished at a net loss of 404% points. The, early weakness here was also to some extent due to bearish weather news. Receipts are light and trade prospects are regarded as generally fa vorable. Predictions point to very heavy ex ports during December. Light estimates on Houston receipts turned our market soon after the opening call, when covering became very heavy and Investment demand was also large, absorbing the offerings which were chiefly the result of a disposition to secure profits ac cumulated on the late rise. The south and com mission houses were particularly heavy buy ers around the opening, giving preference to March, Maj and July. Private advices from the south indicate that spot cotton is still very firmly held with exporters and spinners in competition for supplies. Wall street was a considerable buyer in a general way this morn- Ihg. The underlying bull influence is the expec tation of a strong bureau report December 3d. Kinias City Receipts and Shipments.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 22.—Spot cotton con tinues firtn And factors are holding the staple for frill board prices. There is but little specu lative demand, and what trading is being done is in supplying mill orders. Sales 2,550 bales, including 750 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Cables were somewhat disappointing today and a de cline of four points in the Liverpool mar ket was presumed to be due to manipula tion froth this side. The chronicle weekly summary was without special feature. The statistical situation generally is bull ish. Receipts are decidedly disappoint ing to bears who calculated on a contin uance of the heavy movement. The chief occupation of shorts at the present is to dwell on white fields phenominal top growth, scarcity of cars, and impassable reads. The most astute statisticians fall to see anything but a small crop when it is remembered that the record for a series of years shows half the crop in the first week in December early prices were three lower. Commission houses as a rule availed themselves of the lower level by buying. There is a general disposition to support the market on all breaks, espec ially since we shall BoOn have a govern ment report which cannot fall to be bull ish, even If it should bs found necessary to allow over a million bales for under estimates, as the moving advanced the market was stronger.

Naw Orleans Weekly Cotton Review. NSW OBLSAN4, Nev, 22.—For the weak ending today bears have danced to bull music, resulting in an advance of 40 points on January and 41 on March. Commencing the bull work prices opened up 10 points Monday morning and then for the week has ruled steady, advanc ing to 8.18 for March three times and during today at 8.17 or only a point und*r the highest. Shorts were free buyers 'and were helped along in making higher prices by the bull contingent who have taken new hope. Spot sales were good during the week, one day nearly 10,000 changing hands here. The news from Texas is that owing to rains the top crop will not open. Conservative estimates range around 3,000,000 for that state now. A wager of 3«,000 even money was made here this week that Texas does not make 3,000,000, including Indian Territory. Today under disappointing cables we opened lower, but advices of a frost in north Texas stiffened prices and the close for the day is at 8.17 for March. There are widely different views here as to the future course of prices, but It is confidently expected that 9 cents for middling here on the ctop will be passed and some bulls eay 10 cents will be reached. Bears point to large premiums on deferred deliveries, and while they are not so free with their mouths as they were last week, I they predict lower prices. It would appear that, owing to large premiums now existing, cotton, to make pur chaser money, should be bought on weak spots. Cotton Seed Products.

December corn closed l%c lower with oats He higher. January provisions closed 714ff15c lower. Wheat ruled strong after an easier opening, due to weak cables, liberal receipts and favor able weather for the movement. The chief suj>- porting influences were the buying by the northwest and a good export demand. Local traders were unable to determine the attitude of the leading long and in consequence many of them kept cut of the market, selling at the opening caused a slight decline, but buying, which was credited to a big long, started an upward movement and the market was strong throughout the day, especially May, Which closed Me higher at 7614 c. December opened He lower at 74Mc, sold to 7414 c. but rallied to 75Hc and closed higher at ?s®7sHc. Clearances equaled 418.000 bushels.

There was a good trade in corn, but prices dropped until the small receipts, better weather, lower cables and weakness of the cash article caused December and January to be offered with especial liberty and in turii affected May. The decline brought out numberous stop loss orders. With the demand there came chiefly from shorts those who wished to “play even” over Sunday. Receipts 260 cars.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—The actidn of Ar mour In wheat today was a surprise to the local traders. Valentine sold December openly and bld up May. Both options showed a fair amount of strength, with May the stronger. There was buying by the Northwest and Seaboard with pit traders the beat sellers and offerings small. The trade on the aggregate was only fair. Weakness in December wheat had no effect. Commission houses had orders on buying side. Cables came a lit tle lower, but comparatively steady. Pri mary receipts in excess of last year. There was a mild market ih December corn today. General selling by brokers and belated longs caused a decline to 53c, but the demand was very urgent on the decline and there was a quick rally to above 55c, closing firm and 17-8 c lower than yesterday. The market was so er ratic that it was almost Impossible to follow Its movement. Weakness, how ever, was generally in December, with May showing a better tone in sympathy with firmness In wheat. Cash demand was not so good. Trade in oats was mostly local. There was early strength, but the market eased Off later on weakness ih December Corn and selling by Sterling, supposed to be for Patten. December was stronger than May, due tc fair demand by Lesler Knee land. There was strength In provisions today on buying by brokers for ‘local account. Some houses sold early, but they were soon exhausted and strength set In. Hog situation was the factor. Naval «torea. SAVANNAH, Nov. 22.

Nov. 22.—The market has sustained an advance of 40 points since last week when We advised our friends of “lamb*” selling and conserva tive buying. The week’s movement has been 13,000 bales excess over same Week last year, brought about by heavy sales of spots during the decline. Spot de mand is enormous. Exporter* find It dif ficult to ouy against American mills in the Interior. Everybody attempted to buy some cneap cotton on the decline this week and it looks strange that people who believe the crop will prove 11,500,00 bales should be buying cotton at these prices if they believe in these large estimates. The truth of the matter Is, the* don’t be lieve the crop will show as large as lir. Buston's first estimate, and as we have constantly advised, the crop will be be* low those figures. Higher prices are in evitable In the long run. We may have temporary declines, but they will be followed by most pronounced reactions to a higher level. Reports from the Texas fields do not insure a heavy yield. With 30,000 acres decrease In the Carolinas those states cannot produce a crop up to laet year's figures. Georgia and Alabama .will fall short 250.000 bales; Mississippi will in crease her yield about 160,000 bales. The great Increase mufit come (if any) from the west, and the most conserva tive people say Texas will do well to make 3,200,000. Then, where is the large crop to come from? * While there may be some reaction from present prices we continue io advise pur chases on breaks until after the bureau report on December 3rd, as we beileva, this document will not indicate over 10,* 250,000. Weather conditions, too, will control the market for the next few days and predictions now are made that a freeze is likely In western Texas, which would most surely cause much apptehAnillort in the English market, resulting in higher values. We look for 9 cent cotton In MarOh, If not sooner. ATLANTA MARKETA- Cotton. ATLANTA, Nov. 22 —Middling cotton Steady at 1 1514 c. Country Produne. nutter—Georgia Jeroey.
