THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1913.
GENERAL RESUME OF
WHAT LEGISLATURE
DID AND DIDN’T DO
(Continued From Page X.)
it the right for the abrogation of the
present book contract for five years,
should it be determined that the
books can be purchased more cheaply
elsewhere. The resolution is especial
ly designed to provide for an investiga
tion of the feasibility of tne stave
printing its own school books.
“Get-Rich-Quick” Wallingfords and
“wild-cat” schemes will be effectively
blocked in the state through the pas
sage of the “blue sky” law introduced
in the house by Representatives Spence,
of Carroll, and Wohlwender, of Musco
gee. They must satisfy the secretary
of state as to their standing before a
license may be secured.
STRENGTHENS INSURANCE LAWS.
The insurance laws of the state will
be strengthened by the passage of the
bill of Representatives Cook and Wohl
wender, which specifies the conditions
under which foreign insurance compa
nies may withdraw from the state. If
any company desires to suspend busi
ness in Georgia, it must first make a
report of its financial condition to
the comptroller general, show its as
sets and liabilities and re-insure every
policy t& the satisfaction of the comp
troller before being allowed to with
draw. General William A. Wright, in
commenting on the bill when it was in
troduced, expressed the wish that it
would pass, as he considered it a most
important piece of legislation.
After a rather long fight in the com
mittee room, the Mills-Jones bill, pro
viding for the Georgia Training School
for Girls (known as the nome ror way
ward girls), finally reach tne calendar
and was passed in the house. In the
senate, however, the appropriation of
$30,000 was cut to $20,000 owing to the
depleted condition of the state’s
finances. The house at once concurred
in the amendment.
As a companion to this bill, both of
which were supported by prison re
formists, the measure of Senator Tar
ver giving a judge the right to put a
prisoner on probation was also passed.
The provisions of the bill specify that
the trial judge shall at nis discretion
allow one convicted of a misdemeanor
to serve the sentence imposed outside
of a jail, prison or other house of de
tention and in the event a fine is impos
ed, to pay it in installments.
OTHER SENATE BILLS.
Other senate bills passed in the house
were those by Mr. Smith, of the ninth
district, to allow superior court judges
to grant charters to individuals or cor
porations while on their vacation; by
Messrs, Pope, Hixon and Tarver, to ex
empt certain farm products from taxa
tion; by Mr. Huie, providing for the
election of United States senators by
the people and by Mr. McNeil, to allow
through freight trains .carrying perish
ables, to run on Sundays.
The first general tax act to pass was
that of Representatives Swift, of Mus
cogee; Cole, of Bartow, and Slater, of
Bryan. This is the inheritance tax
which will levy on all inheritances over
and above $5,000 at the time the trans
fer is made. The income from it Is
entirely problematical, but a good rev
enue is expected. Under such a law
in New York the Astor estate has con
tributed nearly $4,000,000 to the upkeep
of the government.
The occupation tax bill of Messrs.
Slade and Akin, doubling the tax on
foreign and domestic corporations so
that the amount is now on a sliding
scale of from $10 to $200 on the capital
stock, is declared by leaders in the
house and senate to be a most impor
tant piece of legislation.
Two other tax bills by Mr. Akin were
passed, one increasing the tax on auto
matic bottling plants and the other
making the automobile license $5 per
year instead of $2 for the life of the
car.
MANY BILLS KILLED.
Such is a short resume of successful
legislation. On the other hand, there
were many bills killed, some good and
others bad, while more were not reached
or tabled and will lie over until next
year to be taken up in their order.
One of the most pernicious measures
introduced this year and which, though
it passed the house unobserved in the
latter day rush, was tabled in the sen
ate, was the bill of Representatives
Cooper and Crawley, of Ware, providing
for an early primary election to be
held not later than June 15 of the year
before the general October election. It 1 *
flying trip for passage was nipped in
the bud by Senators McNeil, Allen, El
kins and Harrell, the latter conducting
a filibuster in the senate to keep it
from a second reading after it had been
killed in the committee and subsequent
ly reconsidered by the senate when it
was appearently dead. The warning
note was sounded by Representative
Barry Wright on the day of its pas
sage in the house and a further warn
ing given in The Journal the following
day.
It Is generally hoped that the bill will
never again be revived and threaten
the pure election laws of 1908 with
annihilation.
The pure shoe bill of Senator Pey
ton was killed outright and a like meas
ure in the house failed to survive gen
eral judiciary committee No. 2, to which
it was referred.
M’CRORY SCHOOL BOOK BILL.
An all-important measure that is sure
to come up next year is the school book
bill of Representative C. R. McCrory, of
AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink
Postum
An old faithful nurse and an expe
rienced doctor, are a pretty strong com
bination in favor of Postum, instead of
tea or coffee.
The doctor said:
“I began to drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
“During an unusually busy winter, be
tween coffee, tea and overwork, I be
came a victim of insomnia. In a month
after beginning Postum, in place of tea
and coffee, I could eat anything and
sleep as soundly as a baby.
“In three months I had gained twen
ty pounds in weight. I now use Postum
altogether instead of tea and coffee;
even at bedtime with a soda cracker or
some other tasty biscuit.
“Having little tendency to Diabetes,
I used a small quantity of saccharine
instead of sugar, to sweeten with. 1
may add that today tea or coffee are
never present in our house and very
many patients, on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev
erage.
“In conclusion I can assure anyone
that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there is
nothing equal to Postum.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, “The
Road to Wejlville.”
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn’t require boil
ing but is prepared instantly by stirring
a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup
of hot water, which makes it right for
most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper it With a
large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.

SHOOTS SELF IN HEAD
P, C. Colley Commits Suicide
After Bidding His Wife
Good-Night
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ALBANY, Go., Aug. 18.—P. C. Col
ley, a well known farmer of Terrell
county, committed suicide at his home
four miles southeast of Dawson last
night by shooting himself with a pistol.
The cause is not known. Colley had been
in his usual health until the time he
went upstairs to retire for the night.
A few minutes afterward a pistol shot
was heard.
Mrs. Colley ran upstairs and, partial
ly realizing what had happened, called
to her husband without, however, enter
ing his room. When he did not answer
she ran back down stairs and called up
neighbors over the telephone. When her
call for assistance was answered it was
found that Mr. Colley was dead with
a bullet in his brain.
Mr. Colley and his family had only
recently moved to a. new. home in the
country, having formerly made their
home in Dawson. He leaves besides his
wife four children, two boys and two
girls, the youngest of whom is seven
or eight years of age and the eldest
a young man in the United States
navy. Funeral arrangements have not
yet been arranged.
U. S. FOREST RANGERS
EQUAL WONDERS OF EGYPT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—An en
gineering feat that has called for special
commendation from Chief Forester
Graves was reported today to the forest
service from the Sitgreaves national
forest, in Arizona. A lookout . tower,
built entirely of logs, and thrusting its
bulk 115 feet into the air, was construct
ed by forest rangers entirely without
the aid of hoisting apparatus.
The work was accomplished entirely
ty unassisted man-muscle.
“Talk of the wonders worked by the
ancient Egyptians in their pyramid con
struction,’’ said a forest service official.
“Pharaoh’s artisans did not have very
much not possessed by the forest riders
of your Uncle Sam. 1 ’
The timber for the construction of
tne tower was procured on the spot.
The tower will be used in watching for
forest fires.
Schley, which is in effect a companion
bill to his resolution passed at the ses
sion just ended. The bill was read a
second time in the house and carried a
favorable report from the committee on
education.
The measure as drawn by Mr. Mc
Crory provides i that the state school su
perintendent be empowered to ask com
petitive bids on certain of the books now
used in the public schools of the state
and let the contract to the lowest bid
der. It is further specified that these
books shall be sold to the school chil
dren of Georgia at cost.
INVESTMENT BILL DEFEATED.
The bill of Senator McNeil, which
specified the nature and amount of in
vestments that could be made by state
insurance companies, thus taking that
power from the hands of the insur
ance commissioner, was killed in the
house by a large vote. A move to re
consider was lost by an even larger
majority.
The important vital statistics bill of
Senator Elkins, is held over until the
next session. It never came up for a
third reading and accordingly failed to
get a chance at passage. Sentiment in
both houses is favorable to the meas
ure and even at this time there is every
indication that it will become a law
next year.
Senator Anderson’s child labor bill was
tabled, giving it a new lease on life
that it may again be put to a vote.
Like measures in the house failed to
come up for passage, but the final ses
sion of this general assembly may see
fit to enact one of them into a law.
The uncertain fate of whether or not
free kindergartens should become a
part of .the public school system of the
state was settled after many stormy
sessions of the house committee on ed
ucation. The bill favorably reported in
the senate the house kills it and vice
to die at the hands of the house com
mittee.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BILL.
Representative Crawford Wheatley’s
lieutenant governor bill will lay over
until next session. It was reported
back to the house with the’ recom
mendation “do pass’’ by the committee
on amendments to the constitution but
never found a place on the calendar.
This bill is getting to be a landmark
in the legislative halls of Georgia.
When it is looked upon with favor by
the senate the house kills it and vise
versa. The ultimate ending of the
present measure is therefore looked
forward to with no small amount of
speculation.
Other bills that have a chance of
coming up again next June are that
of Representative Jones, of Coweta, to
provide seats for women in factories
and workshops; Representative David
son, of Putnam, to allow prisoners to
testify under oath if they so elect, and
the white slave act of Representative
Kimbrough, of Harris.
All efforts to change the state militia
laws at the session just ended came
to no avail when the bills of Senator
McGregor towards that end were tabled
in the house. The principal feature of
the measures and one that, it is under
stood, meets with the approval of the
adjutant general’s office, is to have the
official calling for help from the state
to first make an affidavit to the ordi
nary that his force is unable to cope
with the situation before troops will
be ordered out.
Four more senate bills stopped in
the house and may or may not be
again brought up. They are a bill by
Senator Kea to provide for the ventila
tion of factories, etc.; a bill by Sena
tors Bush, Foster and Searcy, for a
white slave law in Georgia; a bill by
Senator Sweat, providing for compul
sory education, and a bill by Senator
Huie, making punishable the crime of
passing worthless checks.
HIXON-SEARCY BILL.
The now famous Hixon-Searey Webb
bjll, that created a sensation in the
house when Representative Kidd, of
Baker, charged the temperance com
mittee with usurpation of power for
not reporting on the measure one way
or the other, is in the hands of a sub
committee appointed to investigate in
to the United States supreme court
decision on the constitutionality of the
Webb law and report to the main com
mittee next year.
It is probable that one of the first
acts of the next session will be to re
consider the two administration bills
of Speaker Burwell, providing that out
of the ad-valorem tax of five mills, two
and a half mills be set aside for the
general school fund and one and a half
mills for penesions.
Both failed to get the necessary two-
thirds vote of the house and the notice
for a reconsideration given by Mr.
Fullbright, of Burke, was carried.
Such is a brief history of what the
general assembly of 1913 did and did
not do.
KILLS WIFE AND TRIES
TO CREMATE HER BODY
Macon Man Brains Wife With
Beer Bottle in North Caro
lina Hotel
NAVIES OF THE WORLD
WILL GHOISTEN CANAL
• HAMLET, N. C., Aug. 1,8.—Guests of
a local hotel rushed into one of the
rpoms from which they saw smoke is
suing yesterday, and found stretched on
the floor the dead body of a woman
who had given the name of Mrs. George
S. Nance, of Macon, Ga. Her skull was
fractured in several places, her cloth
ing had burned off, and beside the body
lay an empty beer bottle. Her hus
band, who came to the hotel with her
this morning, was arrested in a room
three doors from that of the woman,
and told the police a sensational story
of killing nis wife after they had en
gaged in a struggle.
According to the report given by the
police. Nance said that his wife had
told him she knew he was craz^, and
that she was also insane “and would
stop at nothing.” They struggled, and
he seized the beer bottle and fractured
her skull. Then he poured kerosene
over her clothing and the furniture, and
set fire to the room.
After a coroner’s jury had returned
a verdict that Mrs. Nance had been
killed by her husband, George S. Nance,
he was hurried to jail at Rockingham,
where he was charged with murder and
arson.
In Mrs. Nance’s handbag was a re
ceipted bill from S. H. George & Co.,
Greenville, S. C., addressed to Mrs.
George S. Nance, 321 Laurens street,
Greenville. Her shoes bear the mark
of a Knoxville, Tenn., firm.
Nance appears to be about 40 years
old. He had more than $500 in his
pockets, together with a government
bond for $1,000 and a deposit slip show
ing $1,000 deposited in a Macon, Ga.,
bank.
Efforts to find relatives of Nance or
ol’ his wife had not succeeded late to
night. The woman’s b?dy was placed
in charge of an undertaker to be held
subject to instructions.

Lightning Plays
i Queer Tricks With
i Residents of Rome
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga, Aug. 18.—Lightning yes
terday almost caused the death of Mrs.
W. S. Wolfe, who resides on Sixth ave
nue. Mrs. Wolfe was using an electric
iron when the bolt ran down the cord
and entered her body through the iron.
She was unable to release her grasp for
a time, but finally succeeded and fell
unconscious. Physicians worked for an
hour before she recovered consciousness,
and she was unable to speak for the
rest of the afternoon.
Another freak of the storm occurred
at the home of H. D. Hill when Mrs.
Hill went to a hydrant to draw a glass
of water. She touched the faucet and
turned on the water, the electricity ran
down the stream of water and broke
out the bottom of the glass as cleanly
as a glass cutter. Mrs. Hill did not
CROPS OF TEXAS ARE
IN NEED OF SHOWERS
DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 18.—Crops have
not been seriously injured by dry
weather,'but rain within the next week
is necessary in most sections of the
state to prevent crop losses, according
to reports from every section of Texas.
The weather has played a trick this
year by an unusual amount of local
rains which has given one farmer an
abundance of rain and his neighbor, a
few miles away, scarcely a drop.
Many localities in north and north
east Texas and along the Oklahoma bor
der will lose heavily In cotton unless
rains come soon.
The Texas corn crop seems to have
been largely made before the present
dry weather.
THIEVES GET $50,000
IN JEWELS FROM GIRL
vfiy Associated Press.)
LONDON, Aug. 18.—Jewelry worth
$50,000 was stolen from a hotel in
Llandudne, a watering place in north
Wales, yesterday. The thieves escaped
in an automobile.
The gems were owned by a jeweler,
who exhibited them in a showcase at
the hotel. They were in charge of a girl,
who brought them from a bank every
day in a bag. On arriving yesterday she
put the bag down for a moment on the
floor beside the case. A man spoke to
her and she turned to answer. A few
seconds later she found another bag sub
stituted for the one containing the jew
els. When she turned again to where
the man who had spoken to her had
been standing, there was no one in sight.

BLEASE DECLINED AID
OF COMBINE, IS RUMOR
Said That Newspapers Offered
Support If He Would Name
McLaurin Successor
fSpecial Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA. S. C., Aug. 18.—That a
certain combination backing Senator
John L. McLaurin for governor offered
to support Governor Blease for the
United States senate if he would pub
licly endorse McLaurin as his successor
and that he declined, is understood here.
It is said that this combination con
sisted of certain newspapers which will
back McLaurin and which will open u
bureau in Columbia on September 1,
with Colonel Leon M. Green in charge.
Colonel Green until recently was edi
tor of a strong Blease country paper
in the upper part Df the state and prior
to that time serv ed as a state detec
tive. At present he. is said to be work
ing for Senator McLaurin for governor.
Recently at Hende/sonville, where Sen
ator McLaurin has his summer home,
a conference was held between McLau
rin, Editors Green and Grist, and Gov
ernor Blease. Then, it is said that the
governor was urged to endorse Mc
Laurin, being offered if he would, the
support of the publicity combination
said to be back of the senator. How
ever, the governor, it is said, declined,
and has stated on several stumps that
he will “be hands off” in the race to
succeed him.
The papers which gossip in political
centers say are in the combination to
make Senator McLaurin the next gover
nor are a morning newspaper in an
other stav?, but near the border, sev
eral county papers, ar.d it is said that
probably a morning paper in upper
Carolina, but this is in doubt. Just
what papers there are will be disclosed
when Colonel Green inaugurates his
oureau, it is understood on September
first.
Several of the candidates for governor
are greatly stirred by the gossip and
are eagerly watching for more develop
ments.

WARDENS CHASE “SUMMER

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 18.—The state
game warden from South Carolina has
been to Savannah in search of summer
ducks. He called upon the game warden
for Chatham county and his deputy yes

REST FROM LONG PROBE
Secret Investigation of State
Institutions Has Lasted
Month and a Half
(By Associated Press.)
JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 18.—The Mis
sissippi legislature investigating com
mittee which has been charged with
the duty of probing almost every state
institution and some officials, began a
week’s rest today after a month and
half of continuous work. No newspaper
representatives have been allowed to at
tend the hearings and only unconfirmed
reports have been made on the happen
ings. The committee still is in the
midst of the insane hospital probe,
which probably will not be finished for
some time. It has been decided to place
evidence obtained before a grand jury
Other state institutions slated for in
vestigation in an effort to ascertain if
charges of a general system of petty
graft and embezzlement are true in
clude:
Jackson hospital, charity hospital,
deaf and dumb institute, blind institute,
state board of health, state live stock
sanitary board, all state officers and
state departments at Jackson, except
the penitentiary; agricultural and me
chanical college, industrial institute and
college, state university, Mississippi
levee board, Yazoo-Mississippi levee
board, charity hospital, Vicksburg; char
ity hospital, Natchez; East Mississippi
insane hospital, Mattye Hirsee charity
hospital, Meridian; State Normal collego,
Confederate Soldiers’ home. State Oyster
commission and King’s Daughters hos
pital, Gulfport.
In addition to this list the com-
mitteee will probably be called upon
to investigate four or five judges and
a few district attorneys.

OFFICERS SEARCH FOR
DROWNED BOY’S BODY
Four-Year-Old Lad Falls Into
Creek While Fishing and Is
Swept Into City Sewer
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Four-years-
old Lee Petreleciez fell from a rowboat
into Fresh Pond creek near Jamaica
bay, late yesterday, and a few minutes
later the incoming tide swept him into a
big sewer far under the city, where he
was lost.
A throng of people watched until late
last night the spectacular efforts of
various city departments to get the
body. Fish nets were placed at the
outlet of the sewer and a battery of
searchlights was played upon the scene,
but to no avail. The sewer stretches
across the meadows a mile and a half and
is almost level, so that tide waters
really extend up the entire distance. If
the receding tide does not carry the
body out, men will enter the sewer to
search for It.
Mrs. Mary Petreleciez, mother of the
lad, when she was Informed of the ac
cident at her home a mile and a half
distant, ran frantically the entire way
to the spot, where she dropped from ex
haustion and Is in a serious condition.
